#2 Follow the link and read the whole article and then read the comments on it.

It appears to me that the scales are falling from people's eyes about George.

The Bushes are good people.

My father worked at the Bush library as a volunteer and Laura always stopped by to talk to him. I wish we still had HIM in office instead of the ONE.

#3 Yup, Camera were NOT permitted and Bush went.
Cameras were NOT permitted and Obama didn't.
Says it all for me.

#4 I have met former President Bush. This was about two weeks before Obama was sworn into office. I got a chance to shake the man's hand and look into his eyes while we exchanged a few kind words. He is a decent and honest human being. While never claiming to be the smartest guy in the room, he was a leader who recognized that the buck stopped with him. He was the "Decider-In-Chief" whether you agreed with all of his decisions or not (such decisiveness is sorely lacking in our current POTUS). Whatever the case, he did what he felt was the right thing to do. So while some may question his methods, as should be the case with any POTUS, his motives were never in doubt.

In the words of the Dalai Llama himself:

"On the level of a human being, as a human being, I love your former president: Bush. Very straightforward! Sometimes politicians they take too much pride. President Bushnot like that. And, he wants to be a very close friend, so I love him. Very straightforward."

So Bush has got that going for him. Which is nice. ;-)

#5 A family member and a number of people met him in Greensburg. I don't mean to speak for them, but I think they would agree President W. Bush is a class act.

The story goes something like:
(group is picking through a demolished house, hears a voice from behind)
PB: "Where'd you get all this help?"
A: "He's our friend, we came from Oklahoma"
PB: "Oklahoma?! Thats a long ways-how'd he talk you into that (jokingly)?"
A: "Told us the liquor cabinet is in the basement."
President makes that good funny smirk of his, continues on. Got pictures afterwards, handshakes.
