More to come, just breaking.

he 41st president of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush, died at 94 after a life of service to his country. His death was announced late Friday.

Bush was born on June 12, 1924. At 18 he enlisted in the Navy and served as an aviator. He flew dozens of combat missions and survived being shot down. He and his wife Barbara left their affluent New England relatives and moved to Texas, where Bush entered the oil business. He was elected to Congress—his father, Prescott Bush, had been U.S. Senator from Connecticut—and in the course of his career served as a U.N. ambassador, head of the Republican National Committee, director of the CIA, vice president to Ronald Reagan and finally president. He served one term in the White House—long enough to lead the international coalition that pushed the forces of Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein back out of Kuwait, and to see the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Don't worry. We will hear about all of it for a long, long time to come in the next week or so. The news will go over it all in loving detail.

I remember the last time, and these things are never quick.

On the bright side, the press might get over Orange Man for a while or they'll use the affair to talk about how much better HW was. I hope not. HW deserves his own remembrance.

RIP, and my condolences to his friends and family.

I was just thinking after that article from Newsweek that there is about to be a massive load of white washing coming.

I think we all knew he wasn't too far off from Barbara .

While I wasn't particular a fan of his policy or dynasty.... Him and Barbara did seem wholesome.

No matter your opinion. A death is a death, family members detached of politics feel greif and deserve our tact.

As countrymen, anyone deserves such.

Tonight my prayers (for lack of better terms) are with dubya and everyone related. I could give a chit less if I like him. I love my family and can empathize with him tonight.

This is a little bitter sweet. On one hand he was a very nice guy that when I dealt with him, he never shoved in your face that he was President of the United States. He was always quick with an odd but funny story if needed, but just as quick with the great advice.

On the other hand with his death does provide for a possible disclosure about a few many things that many of us here would find quite interesting indeed.


I will say this tid bit; He wasn't too keen on sticking around after Barbara passed, so at least she doesn't have to be alone anymore.

While I may not agree on some things. He surely will be missed.
I believe a moment of silence is needed.

Feeling rather indifferent myself.

I made the Mrs. Bush death thread as well, made my point clear:

Mrs. Bush wasn't elected as a leader. Didn't conduct war or administer policy. Save it for the Mr(s). You'll get your chance.

Got rather messy and closed.

please have a death bed confession... put the Kennedy's memory to rest

Did he go quietly or was he sent via a firing squad.

He was not a nice person.

But, yeah, a big funeral is on the cards.

Timing could not have been better, much confusion and media resources used taking the limelight away from other soon to be breaking stories.

And please spare me the "you should at least respect him now in death" garbage. He was directly complicit in the murder of JFK, his father Prescott was a Nazi financier, sympathizer, and collaborator. Not to mention that Gulf War bull# and being head of one of the world's most prolific terrorist organizations, the C.I.A.

Good riddance.

please spare me the "you should at least respect him now in death" garbage.

Please, don't put words in my mouth.

This guy is responsible for the death of JFK and thousands on 9-11. Not to mention all the heroin he's poisoned America with.

This is a drug lord, arms dealing, war monger. not someone to mourn over.

The radio show I listened to got bumped off by CNN's coverage of this. They are really pushing the white washing and pouring on the admiration through Obama and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

I like the clear visibility.

Ahhhh.
He didn't get to live to see his New World Order come to fruition.
Only old guy I ever saw jump out of an airplane.
Good for him.
He had a spectacular life.
I'll miss him.
Like I'd miss Hitler in a way. Terrible but great in a terrible way.
Ahhhh, the life and times of the 1%ers...

How sad for the family.
Both parents gone in one year.
well Barbara was waiting for him so he didnt want to keep her waiting.

Wow you guys are actually kind of disgusting tonight.

It's a shame he didn't get to see his New World Order come to fruition... And, I have to say it, but anyone stating that GHWB was a "great", or "wholesome" man should perhaps look a little deeper into the Bush family's history, Skull and Bones, and the Franklin pedo cover-up...

I do appreciate you bringing his passing to my attention though, OP!

The USS George H.W. Bush CVN 77 resembles the man in its entirety. It was rushed to commission and is a travelling junk heap. With problems one could not possibly list. I served three years on it and respect the men and woman who serve on it. But it's a POS waiting to sink.

GHWB is burning in hell and he knows why. His son is not far behind him.
