Subscribe to RSSFormer President George H.W. Bush is now back at home after being treated for bronchitis and a persistent cough. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
Former President George H.W. Bush was released Monday from a Houston hospital after seven weeks of treatment for bronchitis, a bacterial infection and a persistent cough, the Bush family spokesman said.
Hospital officials said that Bush, 88, was discharged to his Houston home and would continue treatment.
"Mr. Bush has improved to the point that he will not need any special medication when he goes home, but he will continue physical therapy," said Dr. Amy Mynderse, the physician in charge of the former president's care.
Bush was admitted to the Methodist Hospital on Nov. 29, suffering from severe bronchitis.
After initial expectations that he would be hospitalized for just a few days turned out to be wrong, his office disclosed that he was in intensive care in December because physicians were having difficulty controlling a fever that developed after the cough was mostly resolved and were concerned about balancing his medication.
Last week, sources close to the former president indicated that his condition had improved. Visitors to Bush said he was in a good mood and joking with family members and hospital staff and that he was “looking forward to heading home.”
"I am deeply grateful for the wonderful doctors and nurses at Methodist who took such good care of me," the former President said. "Let me add just how touched we were by the many get-well messages we received from our friends and fellow Americans. Your prayers and good wishes helped more than you know, and as I head home my only concern is that I will not be able to thank each of you for your kind words."
Bush and his wife, Barbara, live in Houston during the winter and spend their summers at a home in Kennebunkport, Maine. On Jan. 6, they celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary. They are the longest-married presidential couple, and Bush is the nation's oldest living president.
Bronchitis is a common condition in which the bronchial tubes in the lungs become inflamed and produce mucus, which creates the need to cough, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It can turn serious in people with weak immune systems, including children and the elderly. Symptoms such as chest pain, weakness and coughing typically last two weeks, but can linger for as long as two months.
Bush was elected president of the United States in 1988, the capstone of a long career of public service.
He was a Texas Republican member of the House of Representatives in the 1960s and 1970s and head of the CIA in 1976-1977. The organization’s headquarters in Langley, Va., was later renamed the “George Bush Center for Intelligence.”
Bush lost his first bid for the Republican nomination for the U.S. presidency in 1980, at which time Ronald Reagan chose him to be his running mate. He went on to serve two terms as Reagan’s vice president before winning the presidency. He was defeated for re-election in 1992 by Bill Clinton.
In late 2004, Bush teamed up with Clinton to raise money for the victims of the Asian tsunami. That effort was so successful, the two former presidents did the same for Katrina victims in 2005.

Best of luck and 'Get Well Soon' to former Pres. GHW Bush.
Perspective is everything, funny how GHW Bush seems reasonable, likeable and competent compared to his son and the current crop of Republicans.
Well, the problem is that there are some Repubs out there that are willing to do what is best for the country. Unfortunately, none of them got elected...
George HW and W best two presidents since Reagan
By the standards of today's Republican party, Bush 1 was a moderate.
Here's hoping that the remainder of 2013 brings you good health, Mr. President.
Glad to see the senior George Bush is going home. I hope his health continues to improve.
ozzieyo1-7277359 - only in your demented mind. George W. Bush is and will always be the WORST President of modern time. Even the Republican party pretty much acknowledges this and refuses to utter his name.
Seeking, Time will tell a different tale.
Good for him. I hope he does well!!
How much time you need ? The more time passes, the more you find the truth of all the corruption in his court. Only problem is, no one in the government has the balls to prosecute him and his band of merry men. That's the true disgrace to the U.S. and the reason it has lost all respect and credibility, and became a laughing stock around the world.
First, let me say that no matter the circumstances, ALL Presidents are basically good patriotic men (or women). George HW Bush was highly patriotic and loves America as much as anyone. Bush 43 is also a patriotic; his problem was Cheney and his ties to Halliburton. My guess is that Cheney made untold millions from the Iraqi war which "W" wad buffooned into. Concerning Bush 41, I disagreed with most of his policies even though i was a republican at the time, but I never then nor would I now, question his patriotism as some would do. The biggest mistakes were "read my lips, no new taxes" and inviting Limbaugh to the White Houst for a "strategy" session.
Welcome home Mr. President. I hope you continue to improve.
I'm not sorry your team lost yesterday, because My Pats won, but ohhh well.
ozzieyo1-7277359 Comment collapsed by the community
You folks who participated in the absurd exercise of collapsing this comment should be ashamed of yourselves. There is absolutely nothing in this comment which is inflammatory or of no value.
'ozzieyo1' expressed a simple, strait-forward personal opinion. If you disagree with that opinion, fine. But trying to silence the opinions of others with which you disagree - especially those presented in a civil and non-offensive manner such as this comment - is just childish, boorish behavior ... and frankly it's un-American.
You should be defending other's right to speak freely, even when you disagree; not attempting to silence them. Come on folks, let's grow up. Please, let's demonstrate a little civility and maturity, and show that we aren't fearful of mere words and opinions.
Liberals only like Republicans when they are really, really old or dead. Then they go on and on about how they miss "that kind" of Republican. That keeps them from being held responsible for the sh*##y things they said about them when they were in office.

Food for thought.
Unfortunately for your argument is that it doesn't work that way. Republicans do not wish that Obama were more of a "Carter kind of Democrat" Nor are they positing that LBJ wouldn't be welcome in today's Democrat party. The strange new respect is always given to Republicans who are either out of long power, dead or in some way criticize a Republican position.
Yikes! B.S. alert -First Cheney was completely divested from Haliburton before he became VP. In fact he let a huge stock option expire that would have been very lucrative to him personally but would have caused P.R. problems (He donated his entire first stock option to charity. the dude was never about the money once he was financially secure). His only payment after leaving Haliburton was a severance package that was in place when he took the position and was due regardless of the companies profitability. Second - if you read both of their memoirs you would understand that W was in complete control of the White House and the decisions made were his own - including Iraq. Cheney actually was not pleased that Bush went against his council several times. Makes me think you are lying about having been a Republican at the time. You are to wedded to the liberal narrative.
Second. The "Read my lips" slogan was of

But you don't speak for the personal opinions of all other "conservatives" and "Republicans". I personally know many conservatives and Republicans who would flatly disagree with you.

Making sweeping generalizations about all those with whom we disagree, and labelling them (often derisively and pejoratively), merely contributes to the divisiveness and polarized political rhetoric in America.
So, if you don't like that, and you don't want that, ...then stop contributing to it.
Wishing President Bush a speedy recovery. I didn't like your politics one bit, but you are someone's father, husband, grandfather, uncle, and friend.
Shameful that the some of the faux news GOP supporters wouldn't offer the same thoughts for Hillary.
First, I doubt you now any conservatives or Republicans. Second, Of course any liberal or conservative can hold contrary opinions. Since when have liberals been at all circumspect about vast generalizations?
itsabouttime-3704531 strange you say this about Fox news and GOP supporters saying crap about Hillary, the day the story came out she was ill... i would have voted for her in a minute for president if she ran and i vote more repub, but that doesnt mean i do not do my math on candidates that are GOP.. OR DEM for that matter..that being said.. there were more get well wishes for her then deragatory on that Fox story, wish i could say teh same here for BUSH.. i respect her, and admire her, same as Bush..just a few people can be real snots with their Political Hatreds..that garbage will eat you up
The "mistake" of our #41 was that he let the Dems set up the tramp about the taxes.
Good health Mr. President, I couldn't stand watching your rivals enhancing your virtues.
With a middle finger extended to all of those hateful people who were wishing death on him .....Get better Mr. President
HEAR HEAR!
Do you also extend that middle finger to the hateful people praying for the death of President Obama?
I disagree with most of Bush's politics, but I still wish him well... as should any American, regardless of political affiliation. I wish I could say likewise of the extremists on the right and their attitudes about our current President.
@Cameron....Nothing good can come from our President being harmed. I staunchly disagree with Mr. Obama's politics....but you will never, EVER ....Hear me wishing him ill will.....those who do so are just plain ignorant.
Thank you PV. I wish more people could disagree without being hateful about it.
Here, read about your hero GHW Bush. Bush and his father Prescott, were evil to the core.
It appears he has tried to atone for his earlier sins, but if this link is all true, he has lots more to do. Bush 43 left the worst legacy of the 3, but I believe he was used by more powerful men (the neocons) to achieve their goals, because he is dumber than a doughnut. The other reason his legacy is worse, is the internet hadn't come about to reveal the horrible actions committed by his father and grandfather at the time.
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKbushG.htm
Here's another good read on the former slimeball.
http:// deoxy.org/wc/warcrim2.htm
You need to eliminate the 3 blank spaces after the forward slashes. MSN .. why don't you allow links ? How can anyone educate these morons without proving the facts ? Even then they go into denial mode.
Who was praying for Obama's death?
While I don't like the man I would never wish death on anyone.
Biden is Obama's guarantee that he will not be assassinated while in office.
I may not like the man, but I would never say he was stupid.
@ Ralph and Last Rebel ....Oh the evil that men do.....These are men of power in Washington. They did not get where they are by being "nice". This is true on both sides of the isle.....Any more skull & bones conspiracies you wish to share ?
Conspiracy ? Did you bother to go to the link I provided ? I believe being convicted (by the non disputed evidence presented ) of international war crimes against humanity, should be quite enough to establish the point of why I don't respect GHW Bush.
If you choose to respect and defend someone like that, it tells me all I need to know about you. You may not find me NICE either, but I'm just.
Last, Really get help. You seem not to discern reality from crap.
fartcrackcheesemutt banned for death wishing.
as a tax payer i am proud to say i helped to pay for this old f--ks hospital bills
The least you can do since you can't carry his jock punk!
Uh, Mr. Alan & Mr.Fartcrackcheesemutt;
Can you sit there and tell me that you feel better paying (his welfare check) for my (I disowned him 15 yrs ago) 462lb, never had a job in his life (not even a paper route), 31 yr old father of 2, that drives around in a 10 yr old Honda plastered with Obama stickers lazy P.O.S. Nephew?
Excuse me it's not really a "welfare" check, it's a S.S.D.I. because when he was 16 he dropped out of school and went to live for the summer in one of those "Hippie Communes" in Pennsyvania, where during the course of the summer he blew his brains out with drugs and booze and then"they" shipped him home to my brother on a Greyhound Bus. He now has his own apt. with utilities paid for by "US" along with a FREE phone that he calls "His Obama phone". His little honey lays around because she dosen't feel like even so much as changing the diapers, because she is "disabled" too. So my Brother and Niece "babysit" so the kids don't get taken away from our family.
Now here is the biggest kicker, tho' he has never paid a dime in taxes in his life, he makes $34 more a month than I will when I turn 67 in a few years according to my last S.S. yearly statement. And you want to deny a man that served his country (And NO I am not fond of Him and I did not vote for him) what he has cost us versus the 462lb piece of wasted space that has never contributed ANYTHING to our society? Sir, I leave you to your favorite flavor of what ever Kool-Aid you are drinking.
i hate him as much as i hate his stupid son
Alan, you are a very sad example of humanity.
paying sales tax on your menthol cigarettes and malt liquor doesnt really count genius.
George and Barbara are sure enjoying their free goverment health care.
And unlike you they earned it.
Isn't it funny how government-paid healthcare is "evil" and "socialist" until it helps themselves or one of their kind?
Cameron, I don't think you ever heard anyone say that government workers shouldn't have a healthcare plan or retirement benefits they should just be comparable to the private sector. Now if your talking about Obamacare then you're right it is a move toward socialism.
Is this article about President Bush's health really a subject for launching another juvenile partisan debate?
Cameran, you do understand that 43 brought us Medicare part d , right?
I'd like to know Who's picking up tab for Happy-jack's medical bills.-
Same people as Hillary's.
Happy -jack .. LOL. I like that. Don't expect he'll be too happy when he meets his maker.
I used to have some respect for GHWB until I recently became aware of some remarks he made a few years back when he said that atheists have no right to be citizens or patriots in America. Talk about bigotry.
And the fact that he was convicted of International War Crimes against humanity. All you that praise this pile of sh_t, do some research. The "Bush" name has been nothing but a cancer on this country.
Some of you really need to cite reputable documentation for your comments.
I did, if you bother to read all the posts and follow up. I'm not going to post all the pages of charges and results. I gave a link to the info..guess you're too lazy to follow it. However, long story short, GHW Bush and his entire cabinet were found GUILTY on ALL COUNTS of international war crimes against humanity. It wasn't a kangaroo court if that's what you're thinking ... the trial was held in your very own New York City.
LR, i can cite many sites none reputable. I can get a. Court to try you for anything I want. Does that make it real? You are so sad and not too bright.
Two months in the hospital? None of us would be allowed that luxury.
None of us were the 41st President of the United States of America either so what's your point?
Two months in the hospital is a luxury? Wow, in what reality is that? My brother did that repeatedly when he was alive (cancer) - he had worked all his adult life and had very good insurance. Bet he didn't once think how lucky he was to be spending so much of his life in the hospital.
I had a severe stroke. I was given 6 days in the hospital, and then shipped off to a third-rate rehab center for two weeks. I was released after two weeks with no motor skills other than my left hand. I signed up for out patient rehab and after four months was told that Medicare and my supplimentary insurance would no longer pay. So now I am home alone, trying to teach myself to walk and survive. Where is all my help from MEDICARE.
Opto, you get shipped off to rehab when you medically don't need the hospital anymore.
My mother spent 2mos in Intensive care once. You want to talk about EXPENSIVE. Thankfully her insurance covered most of it.
Opto, sorry for your plight but your story is a good lesson for everyone.......DO NOT count on geovernment programs to give you good care or service. Not going to happen, period!
Medicare paid for rehab for my in laws, no problem. The issue occurs when someone says you are not going to improve.
Well wishes to a good man.
Maybe now George Bu@!$%# and his son will have time to think
AND Apologize for KILLING OVER 2000,000 Poor,innocent
Iraqies just to get 1 man called saddam
You might want to consider asking Congress to rethink their vote because Presidents can't take us to war without them.
Oh, absolutely, I'm sure that's exactly what they're thinking about. Or maybe they'll wait for an apology from those responsible for the terror attacks on this country's citizens.
Worthless old fart .. be gone already.
You don't have to like the guy whether you voted for him or not, but as a former President, he deserves our respect.
BS .. former president or not, respect is EARNED ! He's a murderous bastard who commited ( and was convicted of ) despicable crimes against humanity on an international level. Respect my arse. What he deserves is to be hanged for the crimes he commited.
I think you mean GW Bush for torturing those POS terrorist in Gitmo. Poor babies!
His deserves respect just because he was a president? As LastRebel says--respect is earned. You can respect the office, not necessarily the inhabitant--or in this case--the former inhabitant.
No Ozzie .. not GW. Don't even want to get started on him here. This is about "Papa". Here's a link you need to visit to see the truth about your beloved 41st President.
http:// deoxy.org/wc/warcrim2.htm
The comments don't allow links so, you'll have to eliminate the spaces after the // for the link to work. It's unbelievable to me that so many people are ignorant to these facts.
Even a president has to earn respect. Bush 41 did. Obama never ever will. Just wait until this 4 years is over!
Some of you are so dumb you believe any crap you find on the Internet.
And Rebel, you are the worthless one here.
I'm guessing he stopped rambling US secrets in his sleep, so it's safe to send him home. Best wishes Mr. Prez.
where is justice when will the ICC Int'l criminal courts
jail ALL The George Bush daddy and son both caused
so many DEATHS For the Americans AND Iraqies
BRING JUSTICE NOW,BRING JUSTICE NOW and try\
those war criminals..WHERE IS FREAKIN JUSTICE???
Sista - you're showing your ignorance - find your meds, take them, and lie down for the rest of the day. Probably is what you do best, anyway.
@SISTA LAWANDA LKISHANDRA
Trash like you are what's wrong with America, and the reason it's rapidly going down the tubes. BTW, how's the job as a Islamic terrorist going? Are you still getting your welfare checks?
And walking around with your head up your a_s is obviously what you do best.
Earth to Mars ... Earth to Mars ... it's ignorant trash like you that is what's truly wrong with this country and rapidly going down the tubes. You live in a world of denial because of some "holyier than though" complex about how the U.S. can do no wrong. The U.S. is a perpetrator of WAR ! in the name of national security and our best national interests.
Well, our best interests are to continue to be the biggest consumers on the planet and desire to maintain a lifestyle people of other countries can't even imagine. All at a cost to them, their population, their national resources and the destruction of their country. The destruction of the environement and all it's inhabitants.
You Mars are the trash.
American tax payers should sue the hell out of the both Bu@!$%#
as they caused this NIGHTMARE And bankrupt america
by going to THREE Major Wars.. and ALL 3 Wars ended
in BANKRUPTING America and loss of millions of lives
SISTA, you left out global warming jeeeesh get a grip. Again, neither president GWH or GW Bush went to war without Congress' voting to approve the action. Go talk to them about this crap.
There was never a Declaration of War by Congess. Congress and the Senate are just corporate fascists representatives. All US presidents are frontmen for the international organized crime syndicate which has hijacked this country since at least 1913 when it was taken over by European banks in the form of the Federal Reserve. So Sista is right!!
OK Meta then War Resolutions:
There has been no declaration of war for the drone attacks either. The US government is a fraud, an enemy to the nations of the world and an enemy to it's people. Iraq has NEVER been a aggressor against the US. Iraq was given permission to invade Kuwait by US Ambassador April Glaspie because the Kuwaitis were slant drilling into Iraqi oil fields. Iraq was also planning on dropping the US dollar as payment for it's oil, accepting only gold for payments. Iraq, like Libya did not have a Rothschild owned bank controlling it's monetary system. Sure they had "Weapons of Mass Destruction," and the US government knew that because they had the receipt from selling it to them. Saddam was still a better man than either of the Bushes.
I'm sure the Kurds think so too. NOT!
A large % of these House and Senate members are STILL in office. YOU just voted them back in again in November. Election day 2012 congress had an approval rating of 9% yet YOU voted 93% opf them back in. HUH??
I am not a Republican nor a Democrat, both parties are sold out and contolled by the same Communists/Fascists interests. To Hell with the snake with one Red and one Green eye. Bush, Clinton, Bush Jr, and Obama are all frontmen for the international organized crime syndicate that has hijacked the "Republic" that the nation was founded to be in the first place. The system is corrupt from the top, down. 9-11 was an inside job. If you do not think so, go watch the collapse of WTC-7, straight down into it's foundation, despite having less damage than buildings adjacent to WTC 1&2 that were not a part of the WTC Complex. The adjacent buildings were also not covered by the $3.5 Billion insurance policy taken out by lease-owner Larry Silverstein only months before. Bin Laden was treated in US hosptial in Dubai in July 2001. Bin Laden was surrounded in Tora Bora in December 2001. A helocopter flew in and flew out, and the troops were then ordered to abort the mission. He was given medical care until he died in November 2007, not on May 1, 2011; the raid was fake, and those involved were killed by the CIA.
Those people have been fighting each other for thousands of years, so boohoo about the Kurds.
I did not vote any of them. I always vote for a Write-In.
The Bush and the Bin Laden families are the two top shareholders in the military weapons manufacturing business. Eisenhower was right in his warning in his farewell address. The Military Industrial Complex is undermining the Constitution and setting up a de-facto Communist/Fascist dictatorship in the US.
Meta, you better put the tin foil hat back on you're starting to get delusional.
You can wear you own tin foil hat boy!! Since all you worhship is Hollywood image of reality. Everything I have said is absolute fact!! Maybe "Selective Sally" will suspend you for a day, for your inflammatory statements and personal attack, but I doubt it!!
PERFECTLY SAID..
Wow!! My worldview does not conform to the spoon-fed propaganda that the mainstream media has given you, and you call me "delusional." If I did not believe "Pravda" in the Soviet Union, then the State would call me "delusional" there too. Actually, Pravda(a Russian word meaning "Truth") is telling much more truth than the US mainstream media. Even Satan can quote scripture and cast himself as an angel of light. I guess if I do not believe Satan in his purest form, I am delusional then too, huh? I get my worldview from personal research and deduction, not from parrotting the bs which is present by MSNBC or other outlets. Generally, if you assume the exact opposite of what you are presented in the news, you are closer to the truth. You make a good "Soviet" or good "Nazi" Ozzie!! But if you think you feel froggy, I advise you to jump, but first ask me "how high?"
Prost Ivan! what a loon
The US Government runs Al-Qaeda in Egypt, Syria, and Libya; the US Government is Al-Qaeda!! Both political parties are bought off, and used as a divide and conquer mechanism over the American people. I believe in a UNITED "We The People" States of America, so I must be "delusional." So be it...
Saddam is better than the Bushes? Too many nuts here tonight. So some of you do not mind the genocide brought by Saddam or the invasion of Kuwait. Wow!
You really need to do a little research. GHW Bush, set Saddam up for the invasion of Kuwait to give the U.S. reason to invade Iraq. You guys believe everything you're told. America WILL fall because people like you are the majority who vote with such ignorance to the facts.
Conspiracy everywhere. You sound a little psychotic . Please get help.
Sorry, Lulu, but I agree with Last Rebel. I have always believed that the First Gulf War was unnecessary. Saddam, after asking, was told that the U.S. was not interested in his "border disputes." Do you really believe Saddam would have invaded Kuwait if he knew we would get involved? He was not the brightest star in the firmament, but I think he would have cancelled his plans, as it were, if he thought a Western coalition would move against him. I am serious when I write that I want to hear evidence that would make me have a different opinion. I respected President Bush 41 until that time.
Still no problem with genocide. Sorry for your lack of humanity. And siding with this idiot who claims to live in Brasil is really pathetic. He probably lives off his relatives stateside.
lulu98
The trial was held by Members of the International War Crimes Tribunal, meeting in New York. Go ahead and live with your head up your a_s if you want to. YOU are your own worst enemy because you live in denial.
Oh, and if you'd like, I can tweet you a photo of todays Sao Paulo Newpaper if you'd like. You may not like me, and I may not be a nice guy, BUT, I speak truth and I'm just. Something I think you know very little about.
Oh, and to educate you a liitle further. Brazil was one of the first Latin American countries to sign the Nuclear Arms proliferation treaty. We don't like WAR or WARMONGERS.
My folks are dead A__hole. My father served in the Air Force in Puerto Rico where I was born at Ramey Air Force Base. His wing commander was Col. Paul W. Tibbets, Jr., pilot of the ENOLA GAY, the plane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima I served in the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army and was stationed in Ft. Campbell, Ky. Served in Vietnam in 72-73 and I left the U.S. and now have permanent residence in Brasil. Happy to live in a country that doesn't believe war is the solution to our worlds problems.
Now, what have you done ?
Those who have no allegiance to the U.S. government have no pertinent criticism. Being female, I did not serve in Nam. Respect those who did. But you are hateful and stupid. I do not think war is a solution but when they come for you like 9-11, you have to respond. I bet you will say 9-11 was planned by the Bushes. So dumb!
We weren't discussing 9-11. We were discussing GHW Bush. The first invasion of Iraq, which happened long before 9-11. Stay with the program. And, by the way, lots of women DID serve in Nam so, that's no excuse.
Mostly as nurses which I am not. You left the US probably to run drugs in Brazil. You are a lying pathetic piece of crap with no ability to discern fact from fiction. You have a psychotic hatred of the elder Bush which s based on crap you read on the Internet. Please stay in Brasil. Maybe the drug runners will come to you. Bye bye.
lulu98
Quite the contrary Watson. I believe the sacrifices my family has made for the country have earned me a right to pertinent criticism. How quickly you seem to discredit someone who has helped give you the right to call them stupid. However, I've been called worse. Thanks for your kindness.
Sorry to disappoint you dear but, I don't use drugs, nor do I sell drugs. But, if I did, the US would surely be the best market. The biggest consumers of Drugs in the world.
My, My, don't we get testy when someone puts us in our place with facts that destroy our little fantasy world. LOL
It's been fun but, if you gotta go...get on back to Hee Haw LuLu.

He and his so called "son" started the down fall of The United States of America and Obama is here to finish it~!
Go to Hell GHWB with your POS son GWB, because you two are not going anywhere else!!
Wow, it must suck to be you. So much hatred . . .
So in that time after time, election after election, I can plainly observe that the only "Change" that there has been is that the "We The People" are continually SHORT-CHANGED, and the fact that I am not too happy about that, means to you that I have "so much hatred" for those guilty of effectively TREASON against "We The People?" Am I to you supposed to applaud their DIS-Service to our country? I am asking, because I want to know if you are ignorant or just plain on the other side. The fact is all US presidents in the 20th Century with the exception of perhaps one are guilty of TREASON in having sold this nation out to foreign interests.
So you are either uninformed, or very ill-informed on the matter of what is happening in front of your face.
Nice recovery Mr. President, too bad our Houston Texans didn't give you a comimg home present. All the best to you, and I hope you and Barbara have many great years of life left together.
On the taxpayers dime despite his being a multimillionaire.
Healthcare is part of the benefit package Bush earned in part for being a U.S. President, Vice President , Director of the CIA, et al. Think before you open your mouth.
Most of the money he earned as an arms dealer.
Yeah right, how do you get yours, selling drugs and collecting welfare checks?
Oneiron, Hillary is a millionaire too, but you can be damned sure her hospital care was on the taxpayers.
No @!$%#, we don't have welfare checks in Brasil. I import sh_t to you dumbass americans who don't produce anything anymore because your Government sold you out.
Mars-ax
Why is that the first thing you RWNJ's think of ... selling drugs ? You have a guilty concience because you do so much cocaine ? Drugs are for fools... guess that's why the U.S. is the largest market for all the drugs manufactured. Such an insatiable appetite you have.
I had the privledge to meet and cut his hair in the summer of 2011 in Kennebunkport, and he was such a nice man, I am glad that he is doing better.
Happy he's recovering and heading home. God's blessings to the former Mr. President
Pretty hard to beat the argument that----America would be much better off if there had never been a Bush in the White House. Jeb is still out there though------
I prayed for the president and pleased he's going home to be with his family. I am not and never was a supporter of him politically but he was voted in by the people and I respect and honor him as a person who has served our country. Bravo Mr. Bush and Thank You for your service!!!
Now GWB can go on another skydiving expedition.
Maybe this time his chute won't open.
Sick, Rebel, sick.
A quote from the "right"... I wonder how much this hospital stay, cost the taxpayers? Oh, thats right, he's a Republican, never mind..
It's call insurance goof! You know the thing most people with good jobs have.
Read my lips...Be well old man! (chuckle)
Disagreed with the guy on taxes and not wiping out the Republican Guard during Desert Storm, but I respect the man.
Would prefer the man leave us in a blaze of glory parachuting, piloting a plane, or anything other than a hospital bed...go out a warrior.
O.K..wasted enough time on this POS. Hope NBC doesn't do another story on the old fart until his obituary.
President George Herbert Walker Bush was not a bad President, the party he tried to lead took a sharp right turn, went over the cliff and just kept going. Unfortunately, that left him as a moderate without any party support.
After the Supreme Court appointed his son in 2000, the party continued to move even further to the right. It will continue to fail the country.
I hope he gets well.
when I read these mean spirited sadistic remarks here by the liberals I do now understand how Obama and Biden got re-elected. Birds of a feather....
@ CoCo,
Right, "Birds of feather", liberals have no class, no character and show no respect for anyone.
As I told you before. Respect is something you earn. GHW Bush doesn't deserve my respect.
And certainly no one respects you, Rebel. Nutcase.

I don't want, nor do I need your respect. I make no apologies because I speak the truth. Idiots like you are what's wrong with the world. You don't respect your own life enough to educate yourself about world affairs and have probably never been out of the confort zone of your small town, somewhere in Hicksville USA.
I live just outside of D.C. Dumbass. Lived outside of NYC., Boston, Philadelphia and Miami. Have a Masters from a well respected university. You need to get psychiatric help for your conspiracy theories. Maybe you smoked too much pot in Nam.
Why don't you take the time to look at the article. Are you scared of the truth ? The trials were based on EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY in a New York Federal Court. What is it about that, that you can't understand. It's easy enough to verify through Freedom of Information Act. So, how am I lying ? If you have a Masters, surely you understand how to do research ??? It's not a conspiracy theory, it's all based on fact and they came to a verdict of GUILTY on all charges.
Lulu must be a resident of La-La Land, because in comparing the amount of iraqi dead in their own wars they have had in the area for 1000's of years, verses the amount of the Iraqi casualties of the Bush 41-43 wars against them. Saddam Hussein is responsible for far less murders than Bush. Soldiers are aquitted that die in war, but a pair of leaders who would participate in the ritual slaughter, abject treason in sending two generations of American young men and women off to fight no-win so they could get rich off the conflict is not a just war, it is murder against both peoples. So you are damn right, none of the leaders of this "two-horned/"two-partied professional dialectic acting a hysteria will have mercy from me upon them!! That includes that low-life that is in Office now!! Obama is 666!!
The US has not actually won a war since World War 2. There have been more since the existence of the UN, than in all of Western history.
