Funny that it sounds like he's talking through a funnel.
Been anxiously waiting for the Bush family to step up. This is a small step.

The pacing was good, as was the music.

(6,831 posts)Thank you, George Bush, for putting this out.
At this time, messages such as this bring comfort that we are truly ALL in this together.
I was not a fan of W, but think a moment about this message. He didn't have to do this, but he did. And I am grateful that he thought enough about the need of everyone suffering and struggling, to remember compassion IS strength.

(81,886 posts)I have to wonder if Bush regrets any of his time as president and particularly the choice of Cheney.
On the other hand, I'm sure he's happy with Alito.

Unity with all Americans is not a thing with them. Just white Americans. Thats all they care about.
