Barbara Bush Hospitalized, Condition Not Life Threatening

All I can think about are body bags, can’t worry my beautiful mind about Babs getting home for the holiday to be with her family.

Okay, so she had a gut ache. I don’t wanna hear any about the Bush family anymore. May they all rot in a dark cave somewhere.

why don’t you folks be nice. What if it was your wife or mother? Maybe than you would have some compassion.

Barbara Bush is a great lady! I like Mrs. Bush and I wish her well and a fast recovery! We love you Mrs. Bush!

Can you feel the love?

who can possibly care about the bush family anymore…

Good Lord! What is wrong with people? Mrs. Bush is not some horrid person. Not that it matters but EVERY member of a presidential family receives the best of care. It’s just the way it works in our nation – and even if we have universal health care, it will remain the same. Are people really so hateful they can’t feel bad for anyone with whom they disagree or who is associated with someone with whom they disagree? People attack Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, and Hillary Clinton. Can’t wait till it starts on Laura Bush and Michelle Obama. Have some compassion.

I hope she gets better and i hope every ill person gets better soon.

I honestly do wish her well because I don’t wish pain and suffering on anyone. Too bad her and her family didn’t feel the same way.

“Why should we hear about body bags and deaths. Oh, I mean, it’s not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?”
As you know, those were Barbara Bush’s comments about censoring photographs of the flag-draped coffins of our soldiers. And then her “their underprivileged anyways” comment about Katrina victims.
I think the only thing Barbara and her family care about are themselves, their rich friends and making more money, not necessarily the legal way.

Compassion??? Like she does for my family or the Katrina victims? You must be joking…

My hopes for a speedy recovery.
Those who rejoiced at the death of Obama’s grandmother and those who rejoice at the illness of Ms Bush are two of a kind. The same ilk as those who criticize the Bush Twins, Chelsea Clinton and the Obama girls.
Even Obama said the families are off limits in political rhetoric. Now his followers seem to ignore him. By ignoring him, they insult him and put his leadership ability in question.

Goodness!!! The Bush Presidents were not my favorites but Barbara Bush appears to be a wonderful human being. Please have compassion for a human being that was hurting. As for the Katrina Victims and others, how can you shoulder her with that responsibility of her son and Congress. You must be a very unhappy individual that BLAMES everyone else for EVERYTHING!!

Carolyn,
The ones that are making these evil comments could not possibly care for anyone other than themselves. I am sure they feel the same way about their mother. God help them!!

I just read in the paper this morning about a golfer who can’t wait to get his citizenship to the USA. As he said, the vast majority of the US has never traveled out of this country, so they don’t realize how great it is, even with all our turmoil, to live in the US.
I have lived all over the world and realize we are a country of freedoms, privileges, conveniences. As the golden rule says, love on another and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. These horrible remarks about anyone is unacceptable. I pray for those who said them and for Mrs. Bush

I am a 6th grade school teacher. I teach children that have moved to our area from all over our country and the world. We have followed the presidental election very closely. It is an honor and privilage to be a United States citizen and be part of our election process. I believe that it is our responsibility to honor the choice that the American people have made. There is little doubt in my mind that these families love our country and work hard to make it the best place in our world for our children. Very few people I have met want others to suffer no matter what their religious or political beliefs may be. Everyone has the right to their own opinion but should do so in a respectful way. Our childen are listening and watching. What I hope that they will see is people working together respectfully with different ideas and views to solve the many problems that face our nation. None of us are perfect. We have all made mistakes and spoken words that we should not have spoken. I am the mother of 5 children. I am the teacher of 132 students. Times are hard. But we owe it to our children to set a good example. I pray for our president and president-elect and their families.

Amazed citizen > my heart is fine thanks, donate your own dark one please and stay out of my life. I have a right to my opinion – I am an American citizen. I am not a blind dumb sheep that thinks the things that family did are fine. They lied cheated and stole their way through life. Said horrible things about people that have nothing – like the body bags comments and dirty poor of the south or whatever babs dribbled out. So get off your high horse. My family is terrific thanks, may my parents rest in peace. I volunteer and give back to my community. My comment is this – if you have something give something back. They take take take and what we were always given by them was the shaft. There are not words to describe how much I disliked the reign of bush. The country is hurting and you are attacking me? This is my final comment to you … you are my polar opposite.

Jo Minneapolis,
Thanks for your response. Have a great day and enjoy your Thanksgiving on tomorrow!!

carolyn, God bless you and your mother. She must be a very special lady to have raised such a special daughter. I can only hope I do such a job with my children. Hope, health, and happieness to you and yours and to the Bush family this holiday season. To the Bust haters, I’d be interested in seeing how you would have handled the 9/11 crisis. He did what had to be done. Since Bush took office he had been pushed once. He PUSHED back and we have been left alone. Lets hope and pray that happenes for the next four years.

I have never read such hateful comments about anyone like these about Barbara Bush
This country and it people have gone mad. What happened to decent people? Have the politicians and lib media taken us down this far? What selfish , self centered people we have become. Disgraceful !!

Such hate, don’t we have enough hate in the world without adding to it?
I do not know the former first lady so I can not hate who I do not know, maybe people should think about that statement?
I wish her a fast recovery!!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, may ALL your families be blessed!!!

May God have mercy on all of you who can’t say anything but negative things toward Barbara Bush. You know, I was sitting here wondering why it is okay for you all to bad mouth people and say cruel things, but if someone offends any of you they should be punished for the rest of their lives. May Mrs. Bush return to her health.

ch…Both President Bush’s are the worst in history…compared to who? Sorry, but President Clinton was the only President from 1929 to the Present (Hoover, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush “41″, Clinton and Bush “43″) who didn’t have to deal with any of the four major crisis’ that affected everyday life in America: The Great Depression, World War II, Cold War and now the War on Global Terrorism; yet he allowed our Servicemen to die unnecessarily in Somalia by not providing adequate armor to protect them as requested (even after a blackhawk was shot down a week before “Blackhawk Down”), pushed for and got NAFTA passed the same year (1993) with a Democratically-controlled Congress, touted his passage of the US-China Relations Act of 2000 as a measure to boost our economy and China’s (we know how that turned out), etc, etc…but the Bush’s were the worst?! Knowledge is power and your knowledge is lacking. History will see things differently in a couple decades from now.

Twice I voted for Mr. George W. Bush.
I would have a third time, if it were/was constitutional.
I love the United States of America.
Mrs. Barbara Bush was the most beautiful (inside and out) first lady that this nation has ever had the privilege of knowing.

whether we like the Bush family or not, we should never wish bad on anyone.
May God bless her.
I, myself do not like what George Bush has done to this nation but I don’t wish harm to his mother.

carlyonsue…I think we HAD do remove Saddam, as we were losing a war we thought we had won and Saddam was showing other rogue leaders how to defeat international law and using the U.N. as a shield to protect itself. The “Divided Nations” needs a major makeover, if it is to have any legitimacy in the decades to come. As for not removing Saddam in 1991, hindsight is 20/20, but at the time, major Arab leaders told Bush 41 that he was finished and to let the Iraqi people take care of him, or let him flee the country. President Bush and Arab leaders underestimated his ability to survive, but we did have a chance to remove him in October 1994 (Operation Vigilant Warrior), but then-President Clinton failed to act after Iraqi Forces threatened Kuwait the second time. After that, support dwindled to the US and Britain virtually being isolated, as calls for removing Sanctions without compliance grew. We don’t like the results, yet five years later, we have still lost fewer than half the troops that died in 36 days taking Iwo Jima during World War II. As a servicemember of over 20 years, every loss is extremely painful; but the alternative is unfathomable. Our citizens will never know what would have happened had we left Saddam in power, but given that he would have been somewhat vindicated as telling the truth about WMD and we would have been viewed as the bad guys who allowed sanctions to kill tens of thousands of Iraqis unnecessarily, while Saddam reconstituted his plans for acquiring nuclear weapons like Iran to meet the threats of other nuclear powers in the region…unthinkable. As hard as it has been, it was the right thing to do. Happy Thanksgiving!

Gary, you need to educate yourself. Read Law vs. Terrorism, by the Strategic Studies Institute (US Army War College) A National Guard drop out was not fit to lead, and his way of fighting terror was all wrong. Now military and their families are the only ones repeatedly paying the price with endless deployments and risk of death. Not to mention taking half the Guard out of the country IS a national security risk. Good luck to his mother, she raised some real doozies.

Worried Military Family 2: Calling Operation Iraqi Freedom an illegal war is pure ignorance. The Persian Gulf War was approved by the United Nations Security Council and never repealed, there was never a Peace Accord signed ending the conflict (only a Ceasefire, which is only a “suspension of ACTIVE hostilities” to allow for a diplomatic end, versus unconditional surrender). Operations are only phases of a conflict and from Operation Desert Shield to Operation Iraqi Freedom, our 12-year war with Saddam (both active and inactive) was a direct result of his invasion of Kuwait and violation of International Law. The lack of knowledge on this issue is why we the general public will continue to be victimized by our elected officials, none worse than what we will see over the next four years. Ideology will give way to Reality in the coming years and maybe THEN we will learn something about the limits of government and accountability. I am not a fan of the Bush family, but your liberal views override common sense and knowledge. Sorry to be blunt, but you are wrong and I am giving you some facts, but only you can learn the truth. If you can access this xite, you can do some research beyond the politics to make an informed opinion. That is my holiday wish for all.

Gary, you have proved you don’t know many officers or brass. I question whether or not you are military at all. The “liberal officers” feel the same way I do, unless they are paid off generals…do your own research-you might know this before you call others ignorant. Is your degree in law? Mine IS. The mandate you speak of never happened.

Captain Crunch: Unfortunately, I do know too many Officers and fortunately, I am not one of them. UN Resolution 678 authorized the implementation of UN Resolution 660 to liberate Kuwait. It reads as follows: 2. Authorizes Member States co-operating with the Government of Kuwait, unless Iraq on or before 15 January 1991 fully implements, as set forth in paragraph 1 above, the above-mentioned resolutions, to use all necessary means to uphold and implement resolution 660 (1990) and all subsequent relevant resolutions and to restore international peace and security in the area;… I don’t know what OTHER mandate you refer, but if you are ignoring the United Nations Security Council, then what is your basis for argument? I’m not a lawyer, but I can read and I having followed these events every day since August 2, 1990, I understand the situation very well and the repercussions for getting it wrong. Not everything is resolved by “written laws” of the U.S. Other nations don’t exactly see things our way and to force our on them, isn’t setting a good example. Please explain your issues with the “mandate” so I can understand where you are coming from.

What A Sweetheart: Mrs. Bush was just being a mother! Real mothers will defend their children! It’s alright for them to criticize their children but Lord help anyone else who does! A mother will fight like a tiger for her child!

CaptainCrunch: Surprised I didn’t get a response, but then, nothing can change historical fact, anyway. Happy Holidays to all!
