Former President George H.W. Bush Dies At 94

I honestly thought Jimmy Carter would die first, but I probably should've predicted otherwise due to their respective health.

Regardless, Rest in Peace Mr. President.

Claims to be pro life

Dies anyways

Anyone can give me a summary of the main things he was responsible of?

Well for starters, he created George W. Bush and Jeb!

Oversaw the end of the Cold War and the entirety of the first Gulf War, at least those are the two things that stick out from his presidency. Here's something that you can check out in regards to what happened during his presidency.

He also hates broccoli.

That aside, F.

I read a description of George H.W. Bush this morning which I thought was very apt. He was, "the last president of the United States not to inspire quite the same bitterly acidic partisanship that the last four have coped with and which now seems par for the course." And…yeah. He was far from a popular president. In fact, most of the country was united in the belief that he did not deserve a second term, but I have never seen any evidence of severe personal hatred directed towards him. Not like Clinton, Bush 43, Obama, and Trump. George H.W. Bush was like the last relic of a less tribalistic time in American politics. It's a shame to see him go, but I guess after his wife died earlier this year, he just had less reason to hang on.

I just realized that Jeb, George W., and their siblings lost both parents in under a year. That's so sad. I wonder what they will say at the funeral.

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
