This makes me weep. I'm not a republican, which sounds so worthless to even say. The dignity, the love, the integrity - i feel honored as a human being to hear this speech.

I am not a republican -either but, this came from the heart. This is the way presidents are supposed to be treated, But, I am sorry- but, I could never feel this way for the "donald"

U can tell this man was a blessing to the people in his life and they loved him. At the end of the day........ that’s all any of us should want. I’m sure his family and friends made him smile 🙂. They represented him well

Kudos for the Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Schallingora Publicity Extracting Scheme (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is an awesome one off guide for learniing amazing eulogy speeches minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cousin after a lifetime of fighting got excellent results with it.

Yes it was a beautiful ceremony. But why is the Bush family maid sitting in the front row next to low energy Jeb? Oh wait... that's his wife!!!! LMFAO! Hey, don't get me wrong, I loved GWB and GHWB but Jeb is a joke and having that albatross wife didn't help him in the least.

No one won’t admire, remember and cherish the former President Bush’s patriotism and loyalty toward America’s safety, prosperity and unity, kindness and decency toward each other’s service and mistakes as well as his kindness and generosity forgiveness nature. I guess the former President Reagan’s deep visions to choose him to be his Vice President for reasons and President Bush was very loyal to our country America and to the former President Reagan. Both the former President Reagan’s and President Bush’s legacy and efforts for America’s greatness will be always remembered and cherished. I also appreciate the former President Bush 43, the Vice President Cheney, Congress and high level Generals made us safe during and after 911 incident. Let’s forgive each other this time and unite together again by our own generosity forgiveness and kindness nature toward each other’s service and mistakes at critical time and move forward quickly together and focusing on getting important things done quickly together again for our great nation America’s safety, prosperity and unity altogether. God bless America always!!!

RIP the former President Bush 41. I believe loving own families, loving own country America’s greatness by America’s principles together. I also believe to be kind to others who made mistakes and to learn more and do better by our own generosity and kindness nature this time and unite together again by our country America’s own established principles of Foundation and Constitution to govern together toward America’s greatness. The former President Reagan and the former President Bush will all be remembered and cherished for their great services, contributions, generosity and kindness nature. God bless America and bless their families all healthy always.

I'm sure Bush senior was very loyal, just not to America. Every politician in that crowd should step away from politics. Some should even be in prison. This country would be much safer and better off. We need to completely clean house of all traitors to this great nation.

@frostyheat22 5 жыл бұрын

@C. Michael what kind of drugs are you on to not realize America is on life support right now and every politician in that room (Republican or Democrat) has played a role in hurting this country? Its unreal that these hacks make campaign promises that they NEVER keep and idiots like you still support them. G.H.W.B deserves nothing more than a pine box and a prison funeral. You should look into his involvement in JFK's assassination with open eyes and without bias. Also it's pretty coincidental that Reagan was shot and almost killed while H.W. Bush was his vice president. If Reagan had died Bush would have instantly become president. That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the Bush family in general though.
