GEORGE W BUSH has described Bill Clinton, his fellow former American president, as a “brother from another mother” and has given details of his unlikely friendship with the man who in 1992 had denied Bush’s father a second term in the White House.

I hate them all — except Barara, maybe.

I really don't have a problem with the friendship between the Bush family and Bill Clinton. It is more of a manifestation of the sheer decency of the Bush family than anything else.

Moreover, compared to Barry Soetoro, Bill Clinton was Dwight Eisenhower.

I have much, much too else to worry about than the fact that George Herbert Walker Bush, Barbara Bush, and GW Bush are decent to Bill Clinton and have taken him into their family to show love and compassion.

This is not right. At all. GWB is washing what integrity he has left away. He is not thinking wisely because this boys president’s club/ brotherly love scenario smacks in the faces of people who were abused by Clinton. I really have mixed feelings about George Bush now. What’s next.....

Agreed. Not sure why this has become a big story in the media. They are from different political parties. Bush 41 was denied a 2nd term when Clinton was elected. But political differences don’t mean that you must not be friendly with someone else.

What an embarrassment

Advanced ADHD? Alzheimer’s?

Or something else?

Brother from another mother, is a Christian term, meaning that we are all brothers in Christ, even though we have different mothers and raised in different families.

Bush is a born again Christian, so I question him using this term in reference to himself and Bill Clinton. Is he saying that Bill Clinton is born again????

I guess (openly) holding a grudge is not considered a Bush Family Trait. Not so with the Clintons. I say the Hatfields and the McCoys had their pluses and their minuses.

The Globalists are One World Party.

Pro-abortion rapists are “brothers” with so-called “pro-life” “Christians.”

PS Bush should be out in the public criticizing how we are handling the ISIS and push for better polices that he first begun. I am not buying Bush stared it and left the ball for Obama. Defend what you started and help the country. Oh, man these people are something else in their glass bubbles.

Alternative interpretation: The “decency” of the Bushes is a pose. It’s prolefeed.

I never associated the expression with Christianity. (But then, I’m a Catholic.) For years, I never heard anyone say it but black people.

No one in here knows whether he is or not and that’s not for us to judge what’s in his heart. That takes place after death.

I used to have a positive image of Dubya. Lately, I have realized that he lives in rarefied environment and has little or no clue how the real world works. Anyone who has a positive image of Clinton simply ignores the man Clinton is.

The Clintons want to keep the appearance that all is tulips and cotton candy between the two families, so that in the event both Jeb and Hillary run for Pres., the presumption is that Jeb will be a perfect Gentleman Loser in defeat. I can see him now, endorsing Hillary for President, and I can hear him clapping for her.

Am I the only person who has noticed that he seems to love all the liberals but saves the poison for conservatives?

I am not taking about what is in his heart.

Him aligning with Clinton. This is going way overboard of being polite, in my view.
