Has Ms. magazine gone the way of Newsweek and USN&WR - to cyberspace exclusively? Or is that a typo, 2ndDivVet? On FR, measure twice, cut once.

While it is easy to find fault with anyone, and especially a President who every word and deed is highly scrutinized, and while I have a lot to say about this particular man, I will not do so today. I will, however, offer condolences to his family for their loss (both parents/grandparents in such a short time!), and remember that he was a WW2 vet who was a decent man and a public servant in the traditional sense of those words.

That he made mistakes, knowingly or not, just makes him like all the rest of us...the difference being that he had great power, so the effects of his mistakes was magnified.

RIP Mr. President.

I think any chance of Bush winning a second term went out the door once Lee Atwater passed away in 1991.

It went out the exact moment when a reporter asked about his reversal on his no new taxes pledge and he dismissively said "Read my hips."

For the record, Clinton signed NAFTA.

Written and negotiated by the Bush Administration. It was all ready for Clinton to sign before the defeated, single termer (like Carter) left town.

I wonder if the Bush family will invite President Trump to the funeral service or take the low road like the McCains

I bet msm and dnc are already negotiating with the Bush Family over Trump being there and the msm and dnc getting ugly with the old man's history, or paint it whatever color the Bush family wants, in exchange for thanks, but no thanks to the President of the United States of America...

What are the odds of being the only man in America who could not remember where he was when JFK was killed AND being so close to assuming the Presidency in 1981 the very same way Lyndon B Johnson acquired the position?

Hmmm...

Out of the cold war and into (in his own words) a new world order where The United States would give allegiance to the United Nations.

No thanks. I won’t miss him in any way.

“For the record, Clinton signed NAFTA”

More important is who signed Agenda 21 in Rio?

NAFTA was just a part of Agenda 21.

Bush sold this country down the NWO river. RIP? Not a chance.

TRY and show a little class, for at least one day. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to do it again.
