As anyone will tell you - even President Clinton - President Bush won't take credit for anything. President Bush 41 is a very modest person. He played a huge role in the Berlin Wall coming down but he downplays what he did and talks about what others did.
Tune in tonight at 10pm for our interview with President Bush 41 in Berlin, Germany. (Note that the picture of President Bush 41 posted here is from when we interviewed him at a hurricane site. He was at the site working to draw attention to it and to help people.)
Greta: Thank you for the history lesson. I thought I remembered that Pres. Reagon had something to do with the fall of the Berlin wall. Since all I heard were the efforts of Gorby (several times), Pres. Bush, Baker, and a "team" of others, I guess I was wrong about Pres. Reagon's role.
LOL, you said bloggers did not respond to you, when they were challenged, well I did where is your answer? You can't defend the two people I menioned can you? Don't you think Obama should have vetted the czars before they were allowed to work for the White House? Come on, let's have a debate
without name calling. I bet you cannot prove that some of his czars are not bad news. If so, produce it. You and your friends don't know what you are talking about.
I think Bush 41 was one of the most decent men to ever hold the office of President. He deserves much more credit than he gets along with Reagan for the breakup of USSR and the Berlin Wall. I also think that history will find his son a much better President then he is given credit for now. What I wouldn't give to have either one of these men in office now!
I loved President Bush I and his lovely wife Barbara. Pres Bush completed what Ronald Regan (the greatest President in my lifetime) started. Saw the end of the cold war (noteworthy the Berlin Wall), saw the greatest economic recovery in US history (20 million new jobs) that Regan started after Jimmy Carturd (up to B O, worst President in my lifetime). Restored pride and honor to make the military the most powerful in world history. Loved his wife for a personal reason, that showed her class.
what if Bo Bo had been President during the Revolutionary War??? Bo Bo would have suggested, "we need to negoiate and try diplomacy with the British and try to find a PEACEFUL COMPRIMISE." If he was President when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor? He would have said, "I need to think this over for THREE MONTHS and not be rushed into a quick decision".
In the opinion page, Juan Williams ananlyzed the Obama Phenominam correctly, He was elected for two reasons 1. he was not GWB and 2. he was black. After 10 months, that's still the only claim to fame he can make. Other than that, thing are going THE TOTALLY WRONG DIRECTION IN AMERICA, thanks to empty suit BHO. Unemployment up from 6% to 10 - 16%, debt up four times, Obamscare about to be shoved down our UNWILLING THROATS, Cap and Tax about to come, amnesty for everybody living in the USA soon
Standing Strong: Maybe you should also concentrate on Obama's czars,they are corrupt but that does not seem to bother you--------Oh really? Alright then lets talk facts. How are they corrupt? What have they done to break the law, or break ethics laws? Sources please(although I know this post will be ignored, just like most others when you challenge someone to back their bold statements up with credible sources).
It was Ronald Reagon that set the wheels in motion for the wall to come down. Bush just road the benefits. Let's not glorify Bush, Sr. He was definitely a one-timer president.
Greta, living in San Diego, I find a lot of people who have served in one of the forces to be the same way. They're a different type of person, a better type in my opinion.
We watched a president muster the world against the tyranny of Iraq. The world defeated Iraq and stopped short of the completing the task. We had a country defeated and then miraculously the world disbanded and went home. The President and The Secretary of State made this terrific decision. It was the world vs. Iraq. It probably would have worked better than the US vs. Iraq. That move might have saved us thousands of lives and billions of dollars. Would Pres Bush like to take credit for this.
Oh Brick, dont you know that none of these people on Gretawire actually read? They just hear the buzzwords, then go blogging about it(butchering the spelling in the process). You'd think they'd at least remember how to spell from school, but maybe I'm assuming too much, LOL
George Sr. is the last republican I voted for. His son is crap. He spent too much, and on top of that we had 9/11 and two wars that that idiot did not finish. But Sr. is alright.

Besides Carl Marx, what person influenced you the most?

All Americans should be proud of Bush 41. Look at all the good he has done. Big George gives Bill Clinton Class and credibility now that is hard to do.

Bush 41 is classy and so is all the Bush family. I wish the Bush's would toot their horn a little though.
