Guess Who Visited George H.W. Bush Just DAYS Before His Death

I wasn’t expecting this.

According to this report from the Daily Mail, Obama visited George H.W. Bush in Bush’s Houston home just DAYS before his (Bush’s) death.

Former president Obama met with Bush at his home in Houston on Tuesday afternoon, three days before the 41st presidents death.

Obama then went on to conduct a statesman’s discussion at a Rice University gala with Bush’s former chief of staff and Secretary of State James Baker.

During the discussion, Obama lauded the former president for his diplomacy.

When it comes to foreign policy, the work that President George H.W. Bush did with Jim (James) at his side was as important and as deft and as effective a set of foreign policy initiatives as we saw in recent years, and deserve enormous credit for navigating the end of the Cold War in a way that could have gone sideways, all kinds of ways,’ Obama said.

While I’m no fan of Obama, I think it’s really amazing to see the bond between ex-presidents. Even if they disagree with each other, there’s typically a mutual understanding. Not many people know what it’s like to have their job. You gain some level of respect for each other, despite fierce disagreements.

Obama’s tribute on Twitter was really nice, too.

America has lost a patriot and humble servant in George Herbert Walker Bush. While our hearts are heavy today, they are also filled with gratitude. Our thoughts are with the entire Bush family tonight – and all who were inspired by George and Barbara’s example. pic.twitter.com/g9OUPu2pjY
