Pres. George H.W. Bush served with distinction and honor. He was a steady hand in the White House that kept the nation on course to recover from the economic disaster of the late 1970s. With Pres. Ronald Reagan, the pair teamed up to reverse the problems that plagued young and old alike. He kept America moving toward greatness.
Beyond being the president America needed, he was cordial, good-natured and knew how to take a joke. When late-night shows such as Saturday Night Live poked fun at his policies and sometimes quirky statements, Pres. H.W. Bush was there to laugh along. Late night is no longer jovial, good-natured or even funny. Maybe the first Bush presidency ended political civility.
On this Fox News and Friends exclusive, a letter penned by the late president is going viral. Dated Jan. 20, 1993, Pres. Bush left incoming Pres. Bill Clinton a heartfelt, handwritten letter that would be far outside the norm in these divisive times.
It’s clear that we live in times that are defined by us-against-them, a time when presidents must be tough enough to stand up to daily, hate-ridden criticism by both the biased media and radical opponents. To say that Pres. H.W. Bush handled the office differently would be nothing short of an understatement.
Take a moment from your day and find out the way one president distinguished himself. Take a moment and discover how things used to be and what all of us would like politics to return to.
