I am a retired soldier who enlisted during President Clinton's term and retired during President Obama's term. I only met President Bush out of the 3, but I was stationed at the UNCSB-JSA right after 9-11 and I could see the genuine concern and care he had for us soldiers. ASK ALMOST ANY actual wounded soldier as myself when he came to see You, the hurt in his eyes was unmistakable. Was he perfect, no. But, I honestly believe everything he did was for the best of this country. I gladly did 39 months total in Iraq and I know we needed to be there.
I appreciate your desire to serve, but Iraq was an unjustified war that killed hu dreds of thousands of people unnecessarily and instigated more anti us sentiment while wasting trillions of dollars. Bush might care about soldiers on a personal level but he still send far too many of you to your deaths for no reason, he's a scumbag war criminal who deserves prison not accolades. And no, we most certainly should NOT have been in Iraq, we have NO MORAL RIGHT to invade countries that don't attack us and aren't a viable threat to do so. Your tours did nothing but waste taxpayer money killing innocent people
Absolutely...you dont any 1st ladies posing almost nude all over the internet wearing a coat that says something like " I dont care do you". No honor just hot nasty 1st lady now, that can barely speak English. #laurabushhonarable1stlady
Jesus remember when a republican president could speak in whole sentences and make people of the opposite party laugh. Should've cherished these moments when we had them.
@@KratosM4000 I just watched him giving a very funny speech making fun of his speeches and made up words. Even so, he is a normal and caring human and I agree with the original commenter on that basis alone.
this is very true. there were not many things I agreed on with Bush, or Cheney for that matter. But at the end of the day, I think they both believed that they were doing what was best for America I don't think Trump gives a fucking shit about America, Americans, or anything or anyone else except himself
fluffynoses I think though Bush was corrupted by special interests like every other prez, he did sincerely believe e his wats were just. But sincere belief does not justify so many innocent deaths, as far as I am concerned W. Is a war criminal who deserves a trial at the Hague.
I like President Bush!!! He wasn't one of the best presidents but he did a lot of good things. No one could have handled 9/11 like he did. He is a good man. And he has a good sense of humor.
+Mina 12 Handled 9/11 by ignoring security warnings? Handle it by attacking TWO countries which had nothing to do with it? Handles by engaging in two wars which costs 100s of 1000s of lives of innocent civilians? Handled it by spending $4 TRILLION on off budget wars? Handled it by enriching his oil investments and Dick's?
@@faithmusings1039 - Wow. Another one who has the direct piplines to everything , including the intelligence community and other people's financial dealings! Simply amazing.
whether you love him or hate him ... he is very humble ... & he truly loves his father! What a man! I hope some day people will let go of their politically charged hatred & see the personality & character of these two humans & citizens.
+wethepeople947 You have watched way to many documentaries on Netflix…. Try thinking for your self. NWO does exist .You will never know the truth, unless your inside the orginization. It's a trillion dollar organization to be kept secret. You think it would be allowed on Netflix or your downloaded torrents hahaha
All of my respect given to a very underrated president and his wonderful wife. I am proud to have grown up in his government. I may have been born in Clinton's time, but the first president I remember being in power when I was alive was Mr. Bush. I remember hearing all of the hate and believing some of it with my very impressionable mind, but now I know better. Mrs. Bush was one of the best first ladies we Americans could ask for. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Bush. I greatly appreciate your service to our wonderful nation. I hope to be able to repay you for your great leadership, someday.
BGerbs66 Yep. I was born at the beginning of January 2000 so I've only seen two presidents. I remember the bullhorn speech after 9/11 and I saw that bullhorn yesterday as well as a piece of steel from the World Trade Center. No one could have handled 9/11 like Bush did. I remember seeing Bush here in ABQ in 2004. Course I didn't pay attention to what he was saying, but I clearly remember his face. He did a lot of good things during his presidency and he deserves way more credit than what people give him.
MrAeronuk1 hi, your comment made me curious, who are the last few presidents you consider decent? I consider them all mostly war criminals except for Jimmy Carter. He was a horrible president, but I am not morally repulsed by him
Whilst I think his policies were not so good, I never thought that he was a bad guy, of bad character. He has always come across as a decent guy to me. I found his goofiness endearing.
now look, just look what we have, going from lovely laura bush....lovely and strong michelle obama, to a frickin robot paid fake porn wife, who does nothing and is repulsive and a disgrace. God, take us back to better days, and yes, President Bush, not a good POTUS, they all make mistakes but a good man, BTW, he and Michelle are great friends, they're all friends....now look what the uneds have done to our country. embarrassment, disgrace lies, every damn day!
Awesome.....class act. Never blamed everyone else for the tasks laid before them. Yes, President Bush and Mrs. Bush, you and all those you inspired.... "kept the charge"! Maybe, one day America will be graced with another class act.
Laura Bush is an Idol of mine. She is so much I wish I could be. Not only didn't she try to retaliate after the badmouthing done to her husband by the Obamas, she was actually kind and supportive of both. That's what being a good Christian is all about. Her dignity, grace, class and patriotism will never be forgotten.
Whether or not you agreed with his politics, you have to admit that Bush and Laura are a class act, and hands down a better President than our current amateur Obama.
Like the rest of the 98% americans.. Have opinions within the comfort zone (Facebook, RUclips, bumper stickers) however allow the stuff they convey to be passionate about, KEEP HAPPENING!
***** BullShit! - Bush had the task of renegotiating all of the short term debt that Clinton incurred to make his Presidency look good - short sighted and short term. Bush had to reconstruct the downtrodden esteem and low-morale military, and was thust into 911- which was also an attack on our financial centers. DON'T even put GW in the same category as this current bankrupt, slow to respond president named Hussein. GW also tried to stop the institutions from allowing those low interest housing mortgages that made democrats like Barnie Frank rich and caused the fallout of our economy.
Not as well known but perhaps more important that any action during his presidency is W's work on behalf of Wounded Warriors after he left the White House. Well Done, Sir.
When Bush was pres I really didn't like him at all but looking back, he had some rough challenges early on, and in the end he turned out pretty good...
sstruyf999 hahahaha lmao that region was fucked since radical Islamism take over during the 1950s! Look at Iranian life before and after 1950. That area had a bright future, then came radical Islamic teachings.
Colt The GOAT radical Islam behan growing when the US overthrew the democratically elected leader of Iran and installed our puppet the Shah. It was public reaction againsy his regime that directly led to the rise of radical islam in Iran. Then when the iranian revolution occurred in 1979, we supported Saddam as a bulwark against Iran. We SUCK at foreign meddling and need to just stop cold turkey, it's a never ending cycle of pointless wars
Thelma Conger thanks for understanding, I feel lost sometimes trying to explain to people how fucking with other countries backfires, even worth good intentions.
He, like Ford, will rate higher with time. He dealt with a moment in History shared by such a rare group. Only FDR, had the same experience, and he showed just how human he was. Those who were alive during 9-11, will recall the devastating effect this head upon our country. Also recall how this man had the highest people's approval of any president. Only his Dad and FDR came close. He did what he thought best for our country. Even after he left office, he would go to Airports and welcome home the brave men and women who sereved our country! Can anyone remember a President or former President who did that? Those who ridicluded Carter give him props. Same with Lincoln who became our countries saint! His Dad was a damn fine president! He did good himself
There's two people who loved this country. President Bush loved his country and the men and woman who served this great country. We had a First Lady who had class and also loved her country. Now we have two people who only care about power. Its sad times herein America.
It takes, as someone said, maybe around 25years to judge someone's presidency. George W Bush was and is a good human. In the long run, people will realize his greatness during his presidency.
Man ppl don't talk about how much of a subtle but strong political asset Mrs.Laura Bush was to W, she was easily one of the most proper, witty and elegant first ladies in US history
I'm a staunch Democrat who strongly opposed nearly everything George W. Bush did as President, but I have to admit that I found this appearance rather touching and heartwarming. It's a reminder of the way our political leaders used to behave and the respect we once afforded our chief executive as loyal Americans. Notice the respect the former President demonstrates for the current one, despite their disagreements. That's something to emulate.
I've showed you videos of veterans speaking out against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and explaining what truly goes on. In there, they explain multiple times how innocent civilians were targeted. There are videos of obviously civilian places being destroyed by our armed forces with most likely innocent civilians inside. Not everyone in the military is like this but many of them are which is very unfortunate. The real war heroes are the ones that are speaking out about what is truly going on.
W graciously welcomed Obama. Obama graciously welcomed an orange maniac. The orange maniac showed his lack of grace every day he was in the White House. The days of decorum, integrity, and class took a serious beating, but now we have a loving adult back in the house that, I am sure, will welcome his successor with the same grace that was missing for four long years.
Maarten Reed Even Bill Clinton during the last few months of his Presidency made speeches before the Nation talking about the WMD in Iraq. Explain those and you can look those speeches up on RUclips
OMG , Mrs Bush you are a lady for all ages, keep your wonderful sense of humor and pose as you keep serving your Country along your husband, who is, by the way, hilarious 😂😂😂😂
+Michael Self No you missed my point and then you gave an extremely generalized broad statement. The vast majority of the left does not want to have a honest and open debate. Do you even watch the news? 98% of the media is left wing and most of the time there is no opposing view so the people at home can hear both sides. Obviously anyone over the age of 12 knows one should be respectful when trying to have a discussion but it's extremely hard to be respectful when lies and slander are thrown at you from the get go. You both sound extremely gullible and I'm hoping you two are simply being naive and politically correct just because you want to give the illusion you are "fair" and "respectfu." I am not trying to be a dick but you guys are extremely our of touch with reality. By the way there is Fox news which is center right and then every other major station is left wing. The reason Mitt Romney and McCain lost is because they were way too nice and refused to take the gloves off. Did you watch Obama and Biden in the debates? Both of them took the gloves off and threw every lie and BS story at Romney/Ryan McCain/Palin that they could. In a perfect fantasyland everyone would be respectful and actually talk about the truth but sadly we do not live in that world. Also, I'm not sure if you know exactly what this event is but it's basically a photo op and all the people involved are extremely fake and pretend to like eachother. The media clapping for President Bush and Laura are the same media who said George Bush hates black people and called him Hitler. I am a practicing attorney and I have worked on a few political campaigns over the last few years and I learned a very valuable lesson. The media controls the narrative because the majority of Americans are low information voters who get most of their information from the daily show or other disgusting propaganda outlets like MSNBC or the Young Turks.
+Michael Self Listen, I understand what you are saying and I fully comprehend Josh's statement but I'm telling you that you both live in fantasyland. Romney and McCain were two of the most respectful and stand up men this country could offer and look what they got them? The lies and disgusting bullshit that was spread about Romney should prove to you the majority of the media is not respectful nor do they give a damn about civility. #FuckTrump #FuckHillary
I always feel the whole Bush families are not only very patriotic and loyal to our country America’s principles for greatness, also I feel that they have their President styles which mostly handled very appropriate for present events to deal with urgently, also looked into the past experiences in a humble ways with a deep thoughtful preparation for the future America’s greatness altogether. Yet, dealt with a unique thoughtful nature with their own generosity of forgiveness nature for learning experiences through mistakes from principles as President leveled courtesy and generosity nature. I guess the top leadership as President’s position, they may think much deeper than we ordinary Americans that simple by our own simple minds of excitement as either happiness or madness only. They may think more about country’s unity as one nation under America’s principles, greatness and unity altogether by learning experiences from mistakes, if too many Americans are confused or neglected the principles by less learning facts. This typed conflict by confusions still belong to internal conflict within American peoples. President Bush certainly understood the consequences of others’ mistakes. One time learning experiences as chance giving reminders to lure all together to look into our country America’s principles as learning more to understand more and do better things are never less important. Actually the former President Reagan and President Bush 41 are all great Presidents of unique President style. They have their principles of America’s patriotism and loyalty toward America’s greatness. They also have their President style of recognition of America’s principles to govern that accompanied with their great characters of sincerity and enthusiasm to influence, support and help other younger or young more energetic leaders with less governing experiences ones to learn from mistakes by learning experiences to understand more and do better things by their generosity nature as efforts naturally. I guess the former President Bush 43’s sincerity, kindness, generosity nature by his decency and down to earth kind nature has come from his father President Bush 41’s nature and his great accumulated governing leadership experiences. The former 1st Lady Laura Bush has been always great. Her gracious nature shows her elegant appearance accompanied her own decisive understanding the importance of the principles by aware of clearly but also with her own generosity and kindness to allow others to learn from the principles and results to understand more and do better things. I love to listen to her soft spoken nature and gentle smiles. I wish we will be able to unite together again by our country America’s principles of freedoms and equality of the opportunities by our generosity of forgiveness nature, govern by laws then after and always. Support each other and build our country America’s greatness together. If one side willingly to change better from mistakes, the other side willing forgive by chance giving to them, move onwards and govern by principles afterward, America’s greatness will be quickly achieved soon or later. I guess.
Obama said it best when the george w bush library was opened. "George was a man who took his job seriously, but not himself." and regardless of whether you agree with his decisions, you have to respect him for that
It is interesting to me to see that Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama agree with you. People can disagree, criticize and still be friendly if not friends.
I didn't agree with a lot of his politics, but GWB is an honorable man. I think he did the best he could in difficult situations. I didn't agree with him at the time on a lot of things, but it seems we have gotten to know him as a person more since he has been out of office. Since then, i have found him to be warm, endearing, and funny. This made me laugh and tear up a bit listening to both him and the former first lady. They are both good people. It's also nice to hear 2 first couples talk so nicely about each other without party politics, just about being human beings that helped each other.
+Laura -- your question is an open invitation to every hateful racist to spew his or her venom. This is what our America has become: a platform where the most crass have no shame.
Selwyn Collins II I am an engineer. I design manufacturing suites and factory floors. Everyone I know who tries to make this country a better place to live in, ends up demanding a check from the government he claims he doesn't trust.
When you look at the Fords, The Carters, The Reagans, both sets of the Bushes, and the Obamas and you see husbands and wives who are clearly in love and absolutely devoted to each other.
4) This is why you are sdeeing a full court press by our wealthy rulers to take it all back - medicare, SS, public education, etc. Anything money that is not passing through their hands. there was a time when they reluctantly needed a healthy, educated American middle class - that time is now gone. THANKS AGAIN CONSERVATIVES
3) America is just "corporate headquarters". A place where they own the government completely, own all the land, courts, media, banks, and resources, and have the world's largest military as their personal security to protect their financial interests here and abroad.
Well, for starters, the Federal Reserve is not a conventional bank like a commercial bank or investment bank. You cannot go open an account at the Federal Reserve. Second, the Federal Reserve does not actually print any money. All US paper currency is created by the Bureau of Engraving & Printing, and coins come from the US Mint, both of which are part of the US Department of the Treasury. The Federal Reserve itself is also subject to congressional oversight. Perhaps you should learn the facts.

The days of decorum, integrity, and class took a serious beating, but now we have a loving adult back in the house that, I am sure, will welcome his successor with the same grace that was missing for four long years.
He's funnier and more touching than I remember. She reminds me of Mrs. Romney. She is on a vital mission to help oppressed women around the world.
Maarten Reed Even Bill Clinton during the last few months of his Presidency made speeches before the Nation talking about the WMD in Iraq. Explain those and you can look those speeches up on RUclips
How I miss having these two in the White House!
I’m glad GW had unconditional love from 41 for it’s a privileged to be loved in such a way, no matter how many mistakes you made/make.
OMG , Mrs Bush you are a lady for all ages, keep your wonderful sense of humor and pose as you keep serving your Country along your husband, who is, by the way, hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Never knew he was so funny
Dré Jackson When he was in office, his humor wasn't funny; life was too serious. We had no idea how much worse it could all become.
and Laura looked beautiful here, what an amazing classy woman. Love her.
Mrs. Bush. A fine woman and patriot.
Wow! I just love both of them here! President George W. Bush and his self effacing humor and the class of First Lady Laura Bush. Just wonderful! :)
If politics had more of this and less of the partisan bickering the media amplifies, I think we would all be better off. But that is just me.
+Michael Self The radical leftists are incapable of being rational or respectful
+Michael Self No you missed my point and then you gave an extremely generalized broad statement. The vast majority of the left does not want to have a honest and open debate. Do you even watch the news? 98% of the media is left wing and most of the time there is no opposing view so the people at home can hear both sides.
Obviously anyone over the age of 12 knows one should be respectful when trying to have a discussion but it's extremely hard to be respectful when lies and slander are thrown at you from the get go. You both sound extremely gullible and I'm hoping you two are simply being naive and politically correct just because you want to give the illusion you are "fair" and "respectfu."
I am not trying to be a dick but you guys are extremely our of touch with reality. By the way there is Fox news which is center right and then every other major station is left wing. The reason Mitt Romney and McCain lost is because they were way too nice and refused to take the gloves off. Did you watch Obama and Biden in the debates? Both of them took the gloves off and threw every lie and BS story at Romney/Ryan McCain/Palin that they could. In a perfect fantasyland everyone would be respectful and actually talk about the truth but sadly we do not live in that world. Also, I'm not sure if you know exactly what this event is but it's basically a photo op and all the people involved are extremely fake and pretend to like eachother.
The media clapping for President Bush and Laura are the same media who said George Bush hates black people and called him Hitler.
I am a practicing attorney and I have worked on a few political campaigns over the last few years and I learned a very valuable lesson. The media controls the narrative because the majority of Americans are low information voters who get most of their information from the daily show or other disgusting propaganda outlets like MSNBC or the Young Turks.
+Michael Self Listen, I understand what you are saying and I fully comprehend Josh's statement but I'm telling you that you both live in fantasyland. Romney and McCain were two of the most respectful and stand up men this country could offer and look what they got them?
The lies and disgusting bullshit that was spread about Romney should prove to you the majority of the media is not respectful nor do they give a damn about civility.
#FuckTrump #FuckHillary
I always feel the whole Bush families are not only very patriotic and loyal to our country America’s principles for greatness, also I feel that they have their President styles which mostly handled very appropriate for present events to deal with urgently, also looked into the past experiences in a humble ways with a deep thoughtful preparation for the future America’s greatness altogether. Yet, dealt with a unique thoughtful nature with their own generosity of forgiveness nature for learning experiences through mistakes from principles as President leveled courtesy and generosity nature. I guess the top leadership as President’s position, they may think much deeper than we ordinary Americans that simple by our own simple minds of excitement as either happiness or madness only. They may think more about country’s unity as one nation under America’s principles, greatness and unity altogether by learning experiences from mistakes, if too many Americans are confused or neglected the principles by less learning facts. This typed conflict by confusions still belong to internal conflict within American peoples. President Bush certainly understood the consequences of others’ mistakes. One time learning experiences as chance giving reminders to lure all together to look into our country America’s principles as learning more to understand more and do better things are never less important. Actually the former President Reagan and President Bush 41 are all great Presidents of unique President style. They have their principles of America’s patriotism and loyalty toward America’s greatness. They also have their President style of recognition of America’s principles to govern that accompanied with their great characters of sincerity and enthusiasm to influence, support and help other younger or young more energetic leaders with less governing experiences ones to learn from mistakes by learning experiences to understand more and do better things by their generosity nature as efforts naturally. I guess the former President Bush 43’s sincerity, kindness, generosity nature by his decency and down to earth kind nature has come from his father President Bush 41’s nature and his great accumulated governing leadership experiences. The former 1st Lady Laura Bush has been always great. Her gracious nature shows her elegant appearance accompanied her own decisive understanding the importance of the principles by aware of clearly but also with her own generosity and kindness to allow others to learn from the principles and results to understand more and do better things. I love to listen to her soft spoken nature and gentle smiles. I wish we will be able to unite together again by our country America’s principles of freedoms and equality of the opportunities by our generosity of forgiveness nature, govern by laws then after and always. Support each other and build our country America’s greatness together. If one side willingly to change better from mistakes, the other side willing forgive by chance giving to them, move onwards and govern by principles afterward, America’s greatness will be quickly achieved soon or later. I guess.
Class and dignity.
Pretend class while slaughtering Innocents by the thousands, fuck both of the war criminals
President Bush and Laura are two very gracious and classy people! They are dearly missed! Can't wait till the 2 WH squatters are long gone!
I've always liked Pres Bush and Mrs Bush
Obama said it best when the george w bush library was opened. "George was a man who took his job seriously, but not himself." and regardless of whether you agree with his decisions, you have to respect him for that
I'm a lifelong Dem and I love the Bush family.
It is interesting to me to see that Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama agree with you. People can disagree, criticize and still be friendly if not friends.
I didn't agree with a lot of his politics, but GWB is an honorable man. I think he did the best he could in difficult situations. I didn't agree with him at the time on a lot of things, but it seems we have gotten to know him as a person more since he has been out of office. Since then, i have found him to be warm, endearing, and funny.
This made me laugh and tear up a bit listening to both him and the former first lady. They are both good people. It's also nice to hear 2 first couples talk so nicely about each other without party politics, just about being human beings that helped each other.
Oh for decency and respect and graciousness again!
Wonder how Donald Trump will handle portraits of MIchelle and Barack.....or where he'll hang them
no...that would be happening as we speak
Perhaps in the bathroom designated for cross gender individuals.
+Laura -- your question is an open invitation to every hateful racist to spew his or her venom. This is what our America has become: a platform where the most crass have no shame.
Hang them in the basement!
George W. Bush was a great President. Thank you sir! 🙏
SO much more a class act than the current Lawyer shits in the white house.
I guess you can do better........ by the way what are you doing to make this country a better place to live in?
Selwyn Collins II I am an engineer. I design manufacturing suites and factory floors. Everyone I know who tries to make this country a better place to live in, ends up demanding a check from the government he claims he doesn't trust.
Selwyn Collins II Voting conservative.

Damn I hadn't watched all of this - for all of his goofy portrayal in the news, W.'s got a great sense of humor and delivery. Great stuff.
he's hilarious! lol
I just love Former President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush. They're both so funny and classy. I just couldn't see many presidents being like him.
Beautiful people , boy I sure miss these beautiful people
George Bush is very special and powerful. He has a great influence throughout our country.
When you look at the Fords, The Carters, The Reagans, both sets of the Bushes, and the Obamas and you see husbands and wives who are clearly in love and absolutely devoted to each other.
So cute how he blushed with his Dolly Madison joke. And I think he choked a bit on on "41".

This is why you are sdeeing a full court press by our wealthy rulers to take it all back - medicare, SS, public education, etc. Anything money that is not passing through their hands. there was a time when they reluctantly needed a healthy, educated American middle class - that time is now gone. THANKS AGAIN CONSERVATIVES
3) America is just "corporate headquarters". A place where they own the government completely, own all the land, courts, media, banks, and resources, and have the world's largest military as their personal security to protect their financial interests here and abroad.
I took great pride in bush being our president, such a great
now there's a classy woman in every way .. aww we miss u mrs bush thats when the whitehouse had class and beauty
I adore all the Bush family and respect their political leadership.
The Reagans didn't invite the Carters to the White House when their portraits were unveiled.
Well, for starters, the Federal Reserve is not a conventional bank like a commercial bank or investment bank. You cannot go open an account at the Federal Reserve. Second, the Federal Reserve does not actually print any money. All US paper currency is created by the Bureau of Engraving & Printing, and coins come from the US Mint, both of which are part of the US Department of the Treasury. The Federal Reserve itself is also subject to congressional oversight. Perhaps you should learn the facts.
A phenomenal President! Miss him terribly!
He took painting when he returned to Crawford Tx. He has a good heart ❤️
G W Bush is a good and decent man .
14 members only 😁 he seem very humble dude👏👍👍🌹
