HW Bush was the the turning point where we had to live with the new Republican reality. Oil made the Bush family rich, but killed this country's future.

Given the Republicans that have come since, he was at least a figure of competence and respectful of national institutions.

This is supposed to be a LIBERAL democratic site. The Bush Crime Family did untold damage to this country, not the least of which is the Bush - bin Laden business partnership.

Bush crimes, and W stupidity, paved the way for the pussygrabber and today's republicon policy.

Good riddance to Bush trash.

this is a liberal site? Some are even attacking his war service right now. This is grotesque.

Hate to break it to some of you, but NO POTUS walks away from the job with their hands totally clean. Think about that while you're dancing on HW's grave.

but we also don't have to treat despicable war criminal trash like SAINTS!

Note his passing and move on. Do you really think that Hate Radio, Sinclair, and the Fox News Sewer will give such glowing coverage to Jimmy Carter (an actual Christian)?

I realize that the job of president comes with necessary dirt on the hands, but the Bush criminals wallowed in the dirt and blood. Enriched themselves and their cronies while moving this country on the path to ruin. That's not something to celebrate or "lovingly remember".

"Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, the former first lady, said in a statement that “George H.W. Bush’s life is a testament to the notion that public service is a noble, joyous calling. And he did tremendous good along the journey.”

Former President Bill Clinton tweeted: “I am grateful for every minute I spent with him and will always hold our friendship as one of my life’s greatest gifts.”

And former President Jimmy Carter said Mr. Bush’s administration was “marked by grace, civility and social conscience.”"

Jimmy Carter got the problem with dependency with oil, but Carter tried to get us into Solar energy. First thing Reagan did was to remove the solar heaters from the WH and remove the Dept. of Energy from a secretary position in our Government. Bush made lots of money, us? not so much. Fuck him....and I met this guy directly. Fuck FidelityII, he was an incompetent boatsman, I saw his inability to park his boat on the wharf at Biddeford Pool. He was a fraud of the 1st degree, but the talking heads will make into a great President/Statesmen of our time.
