CowgirlsFan Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 RIP Definitely sad but he's back with Barbara and their daughter that they lost at an early age. 1
KD in CA Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 RIP to one of the great gentlemen of our time.
Saxum Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 I agreed with one news site said "You may not agree with the politics but you respected the man." Goodbye WWII warrior and respectable man. 2
Azalin Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Rest in peace, GHW Bush. My thoughts are with his family during this sad time.

Pete Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 he never worked a day in his life and was gifted a job as head of CIA. He also issued executive order 12803 which pimped out our countries assets to highest bidder. ***** him and his family. This morning I am sipping Grand Marnier Cuvee du Cent Cinquantenaire - Cheers! 1

I guess with your experience of flying a torpedo bomber off of a light aircraft carrier during war, you are able to state that he "never worked a day in his life." 3 2
Mark80 Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 There is medical proof that people can die from "broken hearts." This is very common in older folks who lost their spouse after decades of marriage. It causes chemical imbalances. I knew he wasn't going to last much longer after Barbara passed. Happened to my grandfather as well. I always like GW and felt he got a bad rap for the economy that wasn't his fault but more a result of Reagan's policies or the cyclical nature of the economy in general. Should have never said "Read my lips" during the campaign. That is what cost him the most. 2

His family are classy people. He was a fine man. Your response is the opposite of class, but that kind of rancor is typical of many nowadays. Cheers.
JohnC Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 Regardless what one's political persuasions are George H.W. Bush was a class and dignified person who dedicated his life to public service. He volunteered for service at the age of 18 and was shot down by enemy fire at the age of 20.

Your response is the opposite of class, but that kind of rancor is typical of many nowadays. Cheers. Also a major contributing factor for sure. Like Nader costing Gore. But I think Perot's impact was more a result of the broken promise and the state of the economy at the time. Without those, Perot doesn't get the support he got. Edited December 1, 2018 by Mark80
Gugny Posted December 1, 2018 Posted December 1, 2018 RIP to an honorable WW II veteran and a man who handled to office of President of the United States with dignity, grace and professionalism. 1
