But having one and using it as the basis for everything is a guarantee that you will not see the forest from the trees when everyone in the room can see the truth.

And what would that specific truth be that everyone can see?

That President Bush 41 was a good man who was cut from the cloth of Presidents that preceded him and Q is garbage in labeling him. Had he faced different lets say 100 X bad that would test any President he was one most able to find the best outcome. So I guess I am supporting someone most would agree about his qualitys regardless of affiliation.

I couldn't disagree more with your post here, in it's totality....GHWB was the worst GOP POTUS in my lifetime, Carter being the worst of all....Moving on.

There may indeed be some political figures who deserve criticism even on the day of their death...but George H.W. Bush isn't one of them, IMO. He served his country with more bravery than I could ever muster...and for that, the least I could do is offer him my respect. And my sincere condolences go out to his family.

I have it on good authority that Bush Sr. was the man on the grassy knoll in Dealey Plaza. 
But seriously, folks. 
There is a good article about him in City Journal titled "The Underestimated", talking about how people did underestimate him until they came up against him. It opens with:
Quote:
|
George H. W. Bush was always being underestimated. Though he was successful at almost everything he did—Yale student, baseball team captain, fighter pilot, oil executive, politician, and father—people always seemed to think that he was missing something.
|
It concludes:
Quote:
|
With his humor, his grace, and his ease with people, George H. W. Bush embodied the phrase, “Never let them see you sweat.” But the lack of visible perspiration didn’t mean that Bush wasn’t sweating—or hadn’t worked extraordinarily hard. We shall not see his likes again.

Sometimes a 35 second video is all it takes to become awake...maybe not.

There is nothing there except a little facial tic. And the conspiracy nuts are calling it "laughing". Anyone hear a laugh there?
What did Bush Sr. do or fail to do that was so bad? I would certainly rate "W" as a much worse president just on body counts. Operation Desert Storm had about 150 troops killed. W's little excursion into Iraq had over 4000 American troops dead and over 30,000 wounded.

Some women have claimed that he "groped" them. That hardly puts him in the major leagues with Clinton. I don't think anyone is claiming that he was a great president, but I've seen no evidence that he was a bad one by any standard.

We're all entitled to our opinions but to compare him with a guy that got an aide to give him a blow job in the oval office is a real reach.

Bush Sr. would never do that without his wife's permission.
