Only Republican I voted for.
Went Perot in 1996.
I officially started hating politics when Clinton beat him in 1992.
Real shame that Perot cracked the door open for Clinton...
Bush the senior was a good man and a well-qualified President. We have not had one since.
The Post "HW" presidencies have been like Notre Dame Head Coaches post-Holtz (and pre-Kelly)
Thank the American Firsters of both Perot and Buchanan for greatly helping in that.

I volunteered for his 1980 campaign for President. Thought he was
The most qualified candidate.
A good and great man, American hero and President.

Sense of humor.
He was up in Wisconsin, campaigning on a whistle-stop tour, in 1992. At that point in the campaign, it was increasingly clear he was going to lose. A local reporter asked him how the train trip from downstate was going. Bush had just been on a whistle-stop tour in Louisiana and a family had stood next to the tracks all dropped trou as the train passed. Bush responded to the Wisconsin reporter, "Good. Nobody's mooned us up here."
Many other examples of his sense of humor, including inviting Dana Carvey to the White House a month after he lost, which indicates a sense of humility, too.
And I remember him saying he was a big Notre Dame fan and I remember a picture of him working out
with Notre Dame socks on.
He went to a game at ND, if I'm not mistaken. 1990???

A good man who served his country well. RIP.
May all of us have a relationship in our lives like his and Barbara's.
Great president, knew how to handle Middle East. Should have been reelected. He would have rode
those internet times well too. His son was a big drop off.
He did us proud.

Underrated by who? Ask yourself. I don't think you & neocon appreicate his "Chicken Kiev speech"
But Trump understands it much better than you and neocon.

I’m a neocon alright. You nailed me.
You and your hero in the White House could learn a lot from GHWB - like how he insisted as the Cold War came down that there would be no “spiking the football.”
He was not perfect - no one is - but he was a good man, and a marked contrast to what we have now.
What I nailed is you sold your soul to neocon for your anti-Trump purpose.

Condi Rice wrote that speech and the neocons hated it
