Saddened to hear of the death of President George H.W. Bush. Even though he was a Republican and I'm a Democrat I always respected him and always believed he had the country's best interests at heart. He conducted himself with class and dignity, and I think it's safe to say all Americans wished him well regardless of their political affiliation. But that was respected that was earned.
Here's a glowing example of how he put our nation above politics. He lost the election to Bill Clinton. And yet, he took the time to write the incoming president the following letter.
Oh, for the days when we had a mensch in the White House. Thank you for your service, President Bush. I do believe history will be kind to you.
