George H W Bush on President Obama:
“Well, he’s been very pleasant to me personally, very. And I remember when I went up to Washington to do something. I forget what it was. And he heard I was going – with Jeb, incidentally. The White House sent word over he’d like us to come by. We did that. He came here to my library, at Texas A&M, for a Points of Light event. And he was very gracious. So, on a personal basis, I’m very strongly impressed. And he’s a decent, decent man. And he’s taken a lot of heat lately. But that goes with the territory. “
The Obama Diary 
If only I didn’t loathe the Bush clan so much I would thank the former President for his kind words. But I hate that whole family
I’ll thank Mr. Bush for his kind words of truth. Truth expressed is truth appreciated, no matter who is doing the telling. I refuse to sink to the level of hatred for the good of my soul so I choose to forgive the hate-mongerers from any party. And many thanks to you Chipsticks for posting this positive item.
Thank you President George H. W. Bush. No surprise you recognize “decency” when you see it. You were always a gentleman. For those of us who admire President Obama, we appreciate your frankness regarding that which makes him most special: his virtue.
