Bush came as close to the ideal of the presidential office as anyone in our lifetimes has(?)

Our 41st president was the most honorable, decent and capable of gentlemen—as close to the ideal of the office as anyone in our lifetimes. If you’re looking for a role model, I told my children when they were growing up, start with George Bush.

Citizen Trump only boasted about grabbing women by the sidepockets...

The ol’ Bushmaster kept at ‘em almost till his dyin’ breath.

I loved Bush the First. I loved Bush the Second. They were both honorable men in a town of scum.

No they weren’t perfect.

Gotta hand it to Bill and Hillary.

They sure know how to run a scam.

And NONE of the Democrats can figure it out.

“Bush was the worst GOP POTUS ever for conservstism. ever! He worthless son was right behind him.”

Yup. Look at the GOP today...that is the Bush legacy. They pretty much destroyed the party and by extension the country, too.

I can find worse things wrong that that with 32. That was one way Potato(e) was was spelled in Idaho—the teachers’ guide was not accurate, but are they ever?

And idiots, who enjoy the benefits of America’s growth, are voting for this and hating President Trump.

You truly cannot fix stupid when it comes to the Left.

The headline itself is huge COS (crock of s**t). I wonder if any of his eulogists will mention his well-documented role in the JFK assassination.

Unreal. He was a CIA tool, can’t remember where he was the day JFK was shot, smuggled dope into Mena Arkansas with the assistance of Billy and Hillary. Had a mistress, spawned a pack of globalists whelps, sold us out to the NWO, was a Skull and Bones guy where he laid naked in a coffin with a bunch of perverts and talked about his sex life. A family friend shot Reagan 2 months into his first term, raised taxes. And his dad financed Hitlers rise to power.

Yeah....”ideal”.

Here we are in a thirty year war in the Middle East because of Old Bushie.

How many lives have been lost because of the old CIA guy’s grudge against any anti Saudi, Arabic people?

The Bushies loved the Saudis and still do.

I find the gentleman very difficult to praise. The behavior of the Bush family in 2016 made me start rethinking and examining the real effects of the Bush Presidential service. Suffice it to say I felt betrayed and cynical.

It comes down to whether the definition of gentleman rests on form or substance.

So this is a fake Dan Quail, not the former VP Dan Quayle?

“A family friend shot Reagan 2 months into his first term”

The Hinckley connection. That was something I hadn’t heard before until just recently.

And as long as someone else's children serve and get blown to pieces in an unending war, then everything is fine.

He's speaking of George H. W. Bush, not his son. Bush 41 had the wisdom to smash our enemy and leave, rather than occupy him in a never ending war. I served under both, and am thankful for the wisdom of the elder Bush. I suspect fighting in a war and losing so many friends influenced him significantly. If only GW had learned the lessons of his father.

Am I crazy here ?

You're not only crazy, but when Bush's New World Order is handed totalitarian control over earth, you'll be criminal, too.

But for the time being, you're spot on.

Boy I don’t know. He gets an A+ as an American. He gets a C as a President. He fumbled the Reagan mantle, ruined the party as far as trustworthiness (Taxes) and ushered in the one world government cretins.

Many have tried to emulate them but none have succeeded in coming close to their level.
