George H. W. Bush had reason to hate Bill Clinton. Clinton defeated Bush in the 1992 presidential election, only to be impeached after lying about an affair he had in the White House.
And yet, after leaving office, they became the most unlikely of friends—a lesson in humility for the rest of us as we venture into an increasingly acrimonious public square.
Jean Becker, author of The Man I Knew: The Amazing Story of George H. W. Bush’s Post-Presidency, said the first hint of the growing friendship between the two ex-presidents came when Bush gave kind remarks at the dedication of the Clinton library in 2004. Then in 2005, at President George W. Bush’s urging, they visited Asian countries that had been hit by a tsunami.
On the flight over, Clinton insisted that Bush, the older man by more than twenty years, take the only bedroom on the plane. Bush was beginning to show symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, and Clinton stayed by his side on the trip, steadying him when necessary.

George wanted a cut of the Clinton drug money.
Mr. Read My Lips was the reason for the loss.
I voted for him in 00. So glad I didn’t repeat the mistake in 04. And yeah I was fully aware my vote against him was a defacto vote for Kerry but so what. Think I care in 2021
Exactly.
That picture is the best, I scanned the thread to see if it was posted, otherwise I would have had to perform the sacred civic duty.
George H. W. Bush was a good man. He wasn’t a conservative and didn’t care about the base.
Two peas in a pod.
The Bush’s loving relationship with Clinton confirmed what I had already thought about them.
They liked to fly. a lot. and pizza too but not broccoli.

I probably should have noticed much earlier but the first red flag I had for the Bush clan was when Mama Bush gratuitously attacked Sarah Palin. Since then for me its been a long downhill slide. They are close to rock bottom for me.
It says a lot.
This is total crap. There is one reason for their relationship. They cooperated together in the billions of dollars of cocaine brought into Arkansas. Terry Reed -— COMPROMISED: CLINTON, BUSH AND THE CIS.
Bill Clinton wasn’t an ideologue unlike his wife. He was corrupt. And slick. But he could make deals with the opposition party. Democrats are not willing to do that because they see rivals as threats to their power.
True. Good point.
Imagine writing a story about these two losers and using the words “virtue” and “humility.”

“Birds of a feather flock together.” Bush and Clinton are both crooks Who enrich themselves by destroying The Republic , stealing our money, and stealing our freedoms.
this is the kind of scum America can do without and I hope the devil calls them home.
