95-year-old Bob Dole stands from his wheelchair at the Capitol

4Dec2018 - 95-year-old Bob Dole stands from his wheelchair at the Capitol to salute the casket of fellow World War II veteran - President George H.W. Bush.

By all rights, 21-year-old Bob Dole should have been dead after being shot by Germans in WW2, and 20-year-old George Bush after being shot out of the sky by the Japanese.

Stand for the flag - kneel for the cross.

KVUE, “Mission complete. #Remembering41” 9:01 PM - Dec 2, 2018 HOUSTON — George H.W. Bush’s service dog spent a moment with the 41st president’s casket on Sunday night, ahead of a week filled with memorial services.

Bush’s longtime spokesman, Jim McGrath, tweeted a photo the service dog, Sully, laying in front of the casket. The caption read, “Mission complete.”

Bush’s son Jeb retweeted the photo and said, “Sully has the watch.”

According to a news article at KVUE, “Bush will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol giving the American public an opportunity to bid farewell. An arrival ceremony will be held for the former president on Monday at 5 p.m. CT. The public is invited to pay respects beginning Monday at 6:30 p.m. CT through Wednesday at 6 a.m.

“Wednesday [Dec. 5, 2018] is the national day of mourning.

The wisecrack was embedded in a Presidents' Day greeting Clinton posted Monday on the social media site. In the post, Clinton gave a shout out to President Obama, who has been praised for his Internet savviness, and former President George H.W. Bush, who joined Twitter in December. "

Byron York - When Bush spoke to students, Democrats investigated, held hearings

Byron York - When Bush spoke to students, Democrats investigated, held hearings
Unlike the Obama speech, in 1991 most of the controversy came after, not before, the president's school appearance. The day after Bush spoke, the Washington Post published a front-page story suggesting the speech was carefully staged for the president's political benefit. "The White House turned a Northwest Washington junior high classroom into a television studio and its students into props," the Post reported.

With the Post article in hand, Democrats pounced. "The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce smarter students," said Richard Gephardt, then the House Majority Leader. "And the president should be doing more about education than saying, 'Lights, camera, action.'"

Byron York - Why did the press ignore the Van Jones scandal?
Certainly there's bias involved. Given what we know from the formal and informal polling of journalists at mainstream organizations, most of the people involved in political reporting are liberals, and likely Democrats. They want the Obama administration to succeed.
But the question may not be so much who they are, as who they hate, or at least who they intensely dislike.

Michael Barone - Is the Post's campaign to 'Macaca' McDonnell sputtering?
But I also take this column as advice to the Post’s news reporters, along these lines: your attempt to “Macaca” Bob McDonnell is sputtering, and if you want to elect Deeds you need to take a different tack—and you need some help from Deeds himself. Once again, that sounds like pretty good advice.

Susan Ferrechio - Congress looks to avoid overload as new session begins
When Congress gavels back in session Tuesday, lawmakers will be focused mainly on the effort to pass a major health care reform bill by the end of the year. But other big issues await the House and the Senate, including an unemployment rate that has grown from 9.4 percent to 9.7 percent since they left for the summer recess and new estimates that show the national debt will grow by $9 trillion in the next decade. And the congressional schedule could get even more complicated if President Obama opts to ask for more money to fund a major troop increase in Afghanistan that the military has signaled it wants.

Michael Barone - Unions in trouble on Labor Day
The Gallup findings are unequivocal. Approval of labor unions is down from 59% to 48%. Among Independents, it’s down even more, from 63% to 44%. Do unions mostly help or hurt the companies where they represent workers? Mostly help, 45%; mostly hurt, 46%. How about the U.S. economy in general? Mostly help, 39%; mostly hurt, 51%. Ouch.

Five presidents meet for a power lunch

Five presidents meet for a power lunch

Wednesday, January 7, 2009

President-elect Barack Obama is welcomed by President George W. Bush for a meeting at the White House in Washington, Wednesday, Jan. 7, 2009, with former presidents, from left, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter.

Several news accounts reported, that “although all the surviving presidents (including Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford) were present at Richard Nixon’s funeral in 1994, this is the first time that all surviving presidents have met at the White House since 1981.”

No matter what your political views, you have to admit that this is a poignant moment in history and a tribute to our peaceful approach to transitions in government.

Although I was amused with the observation of several, that the reason that President Clinton and President Carter are not standing closer together is because they can’t stand each other. Oh well.
