He is the former President who initiated the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.
So it is only fair that George W. Bush got a personal call from President Obama to tell him the U.S. had finally got their man.
Former President Bush has spoken in detail for the first time about where he was when he heard the news that Al Qaeda chief Bin Laden had been killed - revealing that he was out in Dallas eating soufflé but stopped, briefly, to tell his successor: 'Good call'.
Speaking on Wednesday at a conference of hedge fund managers in Las Vegas, Bush said: 'I was eating soufflé at Rise Restaurant with Laura and two buddies. I excused myself and went home to take the call. Obama simply said: "Osama Bin Laden is dead."'
He then told Obama 'good call' after the current President described in detail the secret Navy SEAL mission to raid Bin Laden's lair in Pakistan. While Bush set the ball rolling for the war on terror following 9/11, he has remained tight-lipped since the news that Bin Laden was killed almost two weeks ago.

Souffle'? Hooboy. I don't believe I'da told that.
Anyway, he DID get the ball rolling, and Obozo tried to hog the spotlight.

The Bush family knew 10 years ago, on another ironic note the elder is the only one who says on record he doesn’t remember where he was when JFK got JFK’d.

Rise is a restaurant in Dallas that specializes in souffles. It’s very good.

What he said was “I was eating some pig ribs...” This was changed either by a miscommunication caused by a bad telephone connection or because eating pork barbecue when a Muslim is killed is not politically correct.

Bush is totally unpretentious.
The MSM would rather have a prissy eunich than a real man.

I was getting ready for bed when I heard that bin Laden was dead. I was so happy I went to the kitchen and made myself a bacon sandwich to celebrate! Really! ;D

Perfect! I have gotten the email picture of the sandal floating in the water that says it is OBL’s tombstone, at least 5 times.
