With Accomplishment comes Legacy followed by Tribute! In the next four or five days, the Majority of America will become United but only all to briefly! Ones actions indeed can bring both setback and progress. Setback hinders accomplishments somewhat but service to ones country make him a true American.

No need to do that..... there will be plenty who point out that side of his life soon enough. As was said, "The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones........" Let us remember the good for awhile. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Saddam may have been sucked into invading Iraq. There is some evidence that the US ambassador to Iraq, fluent in Arabic, led him to believe that the US had no interest in defending Kuwait.

No need to do that..... there will be plenty who point out that side of his life soon enough. As was said, "The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones........" Let us remember the good for awhile. It's truly a SAD STATE of our affairs. Great men are not in measure to great deeds. George H Bush was a GREAT MAN.. Irregardless of what he was as a President..It's a big mistake both in eyes of History and the Public.. Great men personify great deeds, but great deeds do not necessarily personify great men. It breaks my heart, today his passing.... As Lizst is right about George SR being the last Republican, old school, President... It has NEVER been more evident than it is TODAY.....I long for the Republicans to renew that old school idea, of great men, who live with great honor, with great integrity, with great ideas, and great values, are the ONLY men who can create great deeds.. Today... it is the lesson to be learned... of the ONLY way back...TO Make America Great Again.

I know people don't understand how I read things.. how i think. Your statement..means nothing to me, as to the individual words. But the bigger picture of a person's mindset....I know you can't understand it.. I know you can't see it.. |That's how i know it to be true..The mind is a funny thing .. truth always appears, when the mind doesn't get in the way. "Bush Sr. did indeed at times project squishiness and lack of resolution, and thus was the template for other Republicans to follow (McCain, and Romney come to mind". I'm am NOT calling this statement a LIE.. I'm calling it what you project. For me.. it's simple.. and for you it's simplicity...obvious and undeniable... Not so obvious and undeniable to ME.. Was Bush squishy, lacked resolution, and wobbly..? Absolutely... But here's what i see.. that you don't. Presidents have to make choices, try to determine all the possibilities and make the best possible decision. I doubt that any man. who becomes President.. That carries the weight of a nation.. to do his duty, with honor and integrity. would NOT at times find himself in the position of being wobbly, squishy and lacking resolution We don't have a wobbly, squishy President NOW....and I find that to be his greatest detriment. enhanced by his "lack of resolution" about what is the truth.. and his inability to be wrong..and that he carries No WEIGHT.. Without his carrying the weight of the Presidency... I can not Trust, he cares enough to be wobbly and squishy.

I could easily see.. How JFK. was wobbly and squishy..It made me TRUST HIM.. The bay of pigs and the blockcade. and many other things made him wobbly and squishy. Making the right decisions when it is known...is easy.. But a President..who COULD make a wrong decision..Should make that President Wobbly, Squishy, and lacking resolution. Not after the decision. but to make the decision.. What Thatcher said to Bush, to make a decision, was the same thing YOU would have said.. Thatcher was an azzhole for saying it.. so what does that make you? But Trump he's different.....he would have told her to f*ck off.. because his decision wasn't to HELP her...but figure out a way to help himself and shove it up her azz. and YOU would see... Trump would not have been wobbly...

The notion of political correctness . declares certain topics. certain expressions . even certain gestures off-limits. What began as a crusade for civility has soured into a cause of conflict and even censorship. – George Herbert Walker Bush God Speed George H W Bush flying free with Barbara -  Abracadabra

The notion of political correctness . declares certain topics. certain expressions . even certain gestures off-limits. What began as a crusade for civility has soured into a cause of conflict and even censorship. – George Herbert Walker Bush God Speed George H W Bush flying free with Barbara - My focus is not on what is politically correct ... doesn't really matter to me. what matters to me is the idea of what's NOT politically correct.....And the judgment people make about that Even though I can say the "idea" of being politically should matter. The idea that we are each our own person, and politically correct is a consideration.. as long as you consider it, as being respectful to others .. it is whatever you think it is. The irony is that current attitude about being politically correct is the polar opposite of the idea of what being politically correct is. The conflict and division results when someone else tries to make that decision for you, and that you are not being politically correct...When they are the ones not being civil and respectful, and thus...NOT being politically correct.

Yes George H W Bush was a great Statesman .. you might not have noticed at the time because Statesman was just part of the job description then, as per voters. Christopher Buckeley, speech writer for H W Bush when he was Vice President, said Saturday on NPR Radio "He was a Christian gentleman. And he was the paradigm of the Christian gentleman. He didn't have - he had no mean bone in his body. I'd never heard - you would hear him perhaps talk a little bit askance about someone. But he - but I never heard an ad hominem attack or caustic comment come out of him. He had a beautiful soul. And it was always radiant and on display". The entire interview was a great tribute and from a man who knew H W very well. If language like this reflects badly on Trump … that's just too damn bad. Maybe Trump should have thought it through … before he picked Limbaugh and Hannity to design his presidency.
