Dan T. Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Did anybody notice when the Bushes entered and greeted the Presidents and first ladies, that George pulled a cough drop out of his pocket and slipped it to Michelle with a wink as he shook her hand, a reprieve of the nice moment at John McCain's funeral when, seated next to her, he did the same. It was just a nice human moment that struck me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 A disconcerting little quirk from Bill Clinton... close your mouth man! Every time they showed him during the service, he was slack-jawed, mouth agape. It was weird looking. ~~~ Also, is it protocol to hand your overcoat to a military officer as if he's your personal valet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Another cool story about George Bush. The touching gesture by George H.W. Bush that his Secret Service ‘family’ will never forget By Lindsey Bever Washington Post George H.W. Bush sat near a flower garden in Kennebunkport, Maine, in 2013, holding a 2-year-old child. The pair wore matching blue polo shirts and khaki pants — and sported the same hairstyle. Bush had learned that the boy, the son of an agent on his Secret Service detail, had leukemia.The toddler had lost his hair and, to show their support, members of the detail were planning to shave their heads. So the former president did, too, and his wife, Barbara Bush, snapped a picture, which soon went viral. “When little Patrick got leukemia, a lot of the agents shaved their heads,” Bush explained to his granddaughter Jenna Bush Hager, a contributing correspondent for NBC’s “Today” show. “I said, ‘Well, why not me?’ It was the right thing to do.” “They’re a wonderful group of people,” Bush added at the time. “They’re like family with us.” The agents thought of the former president the same way. The Secret Service re-shared the touching photo Tuesday on Twitter, referring to the 41st president by his code name, “Timberwolf.” The agency said it “wanted to share a memory” the day before his funeral at Washington National Cathedral.

I overlooked it at the time, but I really enjoyed the camaraderie that I remember from the Bushes leaving office and the Obamas taking office.

Warhead36 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 W may have been a bit...over his head as President, but he was a good dude and you never had to worry about him committing treason or not having America's best interest at heart. Great eulogy today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think W is a much better person than he was a President, and I think he's pretty outstanding as an ex-President. Here is a picture of me and 41 when I was in the 5th grade. Don’t fade the pink polo under the gigantic DARE t-shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The Bush family’s relationship with the Obama’s is just class all-around. A nice example for folks on all sides of the political aisle. Just a shame Dubya and Barack didn’t take Trump out back after the service and smack him around a bit, teach him some respect. Pretty sure the secret service wouldn’t have done a damn thing.
