Imperfect, but was willing to put country before self, in a way we can't necessarily expect from politicians, especially today.

I get that Presidents are supposed to let "writers" write for them in terms of public statements but clearly Donald's words are not his own.
At least Barack's statement is in his tone.
Obviously W used his own words.
Nice that it seems Billy actually used his own words too.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Statement from President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump on the Passing of Former President George H.W. Bush <a href="https://t.co/qxPsp4Ggs7">pic.twitter.co ... </p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/sta ... ">December 1, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>


<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">America has lost a patriot and humble servant in George Herbert Walker Bush. While our hearts are heavy today, they are also filled with gratitude. Our thoughts are with the entire Bush family tonight – and all who were inspired by George and Barbara’s example. <a href="https://t.co/g9OUPu2pjY">pic.twitter.co ... </p>&mdash; Barack Obama (@BarackObama) <a href="https://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/ ... ">December 1, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

"Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro, and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died," reads the message. "George H. W. Bush was a man of the highest character and the best dad a son or daughter could ask for. The entire Bush family is deeply grateful for 41's life and love, for the compassion of those who have cared and prayed for Dad, and for the condolences of our family and fellow citizens."


Hillary and I mourn the passing of President George H.W. Bush, and give thanks for his great long life of service, love, and friendship.
I will be forever grateful for the friendship we formed. From the moment I met him as a young governor invited to his home in Kennebunkport, I was struck by the kindness he showed to Chelsea, by his innate and genuine decency, and by his devotion to Barbara, his children, and their growing brood.
Few Americans have been—or will ever be—able to match President Bush’s record of service to the United States and the joy he took every day from it; from his military service in World War II, to his work in Congress, the United Nations, China, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Vice Presidency and the Presidency, where he worked to move the post Cold War world toward greater unity, peace, and freedom.
He never stopped serving. I saw it up close, working with him on tsunami relief in Asia and here at home after Hurricane Katrina. His remarkable leadership and great heart were always on full display.
I am profoundly grateful for every minute I spent with President Bush and will always hold our friendship as one of my life’s greatest gifts.
Our hearts and prayers are with George, Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro, their families, and the entire Bush clan.

And how convenient to edit out Michelle's penis. Surprised Doltemite didn't notice this.

I guess we shouldn't talk about the Bush-Nazi past, since it's in the past.

I know this is supposed to be a dig at Hillary, but I think it actually plays as an endorsement of FLMO, who is pretty great.
