Any man who survives being shot down in combat is a hero and deserves our admiration. He was not one of our best Presidents but several Presidents since his time have made him look much better. And his relationship with Barbara was a true love story that should not be laughed at. We would be a lot better off today with more of that.

I have to agree with you, except. Although they were a class act and sincere people, their politics was largely of the established Washington DC crowd. A disaster waiting to happen.

If there was any proof that a prior administration set up the new Administration for success, it was Reagan’s for GHW Bushes. And pappy Bush blew it..totally.

Sorry but I judge a man what he DID TO HIS COUNTRY, rather that what he did for his country. He gave us Clinton because he had no balls to keep his promise of no new taxes and throwing the Reagan legacy under the bus. After Clinton started his destruction, guess who because best buds? Thats also why I could give a crap what McCain did in Vietnam. His damage to this country was greater than his service to it.

Thank you for showing some class unlike other on this thread.

Thanks for those words in a sea of unkindness.

At one time I had a lot of respect for the Bush family, but after 41 and 43 not any more. The Bush family was a disaster for the Republican party and the country because they lurched and lived on the left side of the political spectrum while all the while preaching how conservative they were. Out both of them we got Clarence Thomas and Sam Alito, nothing more.

As for their personal lives, they seemed like decent people and I’ll leave it at that.
