President Bush Remembers Rep. John Lewis As Someone Who ‘Always Looked Outward’ | NBC News
Remember back when we feared GW? Boy do I miss the good ole days.
Bring back Bush 43, bring back Clinton, Bring back Obama, heck, bring back anyone, anyone to replace this empty shell of a humanoid (not a human) now inhabiting the White House.
I was never a fan of this particular president. However, I absolutely loved his speech. And I long for the day I’ve nearly disagreeing with politics. Instead of humanity itself. It was a beautiful beautiful service. May God Rest his soul. Can’t stop crying.
Thank you, President Bush, very humble.
Thanks 🙏🏿
America, how deep into the abyss you have fallen… Pray that you find your way back up, into the light.
Good job President Bush, welcome home.
COMPARED TO THIS THING OF OF A
PRESIDENT, HE IS A ROCKET SCIENTIST.!!!!!!!!!!!
The world where it is today is because you your stupid dumb policys
I always loved George W bush she always had to clean up his dad’s mess because of his daddy was too nice and his mama help to though
Thank you, W! Our division is irrelevant to this special moment of honoring a great man and American.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS OUR LAST LINE OF DEFENSE AS THE USA FACES A TOTALITARIAN FUTURE. Trump will refuse to relinquish power when he loses the election; he will be supported by the Fake GOP and the fascist Faux News when he stages a “coup d’etat”. The Dems MUST NOT WAIT until that happens to take action!
All Dem Representatives and Senators in Congress should meet urgently in a combined Caucus and determine ways and means to prevent or defeat that treasonous act by the white supremacy alliance. This is a huge responsibility that they must not fail to take on and win. IT’S BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!
I can’t believe that I miss President Bush, even though am a Democrat. I just think he sometime got the wrong advice from the once he trusted. Bush is a funny guy ‘ I have to admit that i love when he gives public speech. I love the way he carries himself when his with other leaders. Thank you SIR for you service to this great County we all love, even with it’s small imperfection.
Thank you very much ♥️♥️♥️
R.I.P. mr Lewis
Great men of any country are claimed in every country. Like Bob Marley, John Lewis belong to the world. His messages and example did reach us. Sincere condolences.
The real Republican not Moron Trump!
Beautiful!
A President with compassion, dignity and class. It made me remember what it felt like to respect the President. Good Job W.
John Lewis was a man of humility and service. RIP.
Kanye West already did the damage, bush don’t like blacks nor any other minority
Donald Trump lacks the milk of human kindness
I miss this man. How times have changed.
WHERE ARE THE WMDS, W!?!
Slaughtered millions looking for phony WMDs.
George W. Bush was a great president, and is a good man. God bless him and his family.🙏💕
The Great Awakening 🙏🏻
He looks good.
A little humour for a sad country.
History judges people , most said Bush won’t comeback from his Presidency,,, but I guess we don’t know the future….
Many of us thought there’d never be a worse president than George Bush…yet here we are. If we don’t get rid of Trump…we might one day look back and long for Donald Trump they way we do with Bush today. That’s truly horrifying. RIP John Lewis…we’ll take it from here. ✌🏾✌🏻🇺🇸
Great speech of President Bush to remembering Mr. John Lewis in honor & respect him.
sounds like he was reading from a piece of paper. soulless.
War Monger
President Bush looks good . I like him .👍👍
What will they find good to say about Trump when his day comes?
THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING AT CONGRESSMAN LEWIS’ HOMEGOING PRESIDENT BUSH. BLESSINGS AND CONTINUED GOOD FORTUNE TO YOU AND YOURS.
All these former Presidents came to speak at this guys funeral which was held in a church… if regular people tried to hold funerals or church services we would be ridiculed, arrested, or forced to quarantine. The elite get to do whatever they want. Can’t wait for the depression, we need it now more than ever. Get your assets out of cash and into silver, gold, bitcoin and whatever high risk crypto you think will succeed. This paradigm is over.
John Lewis was a hero. He was a honorable man. Thank you President Bush.
Now that’s a man with heart..not like the current occupant of the white house…god bless you. Mr Bush…!!
President Bush’s speech, in honor of John Lewis was endearing, kind, humorous and moving. Thank you 🙏🙏
From your mouth to God’s Ears…
GW BUSH’s election was in doubt for months, but that was AFTER the election. We should not postpone the election on fear of what MIGHT HAPPEN. We must wait to argue about the results until AFTER IT TAKES PLACE.
Why am I thinking about Frank caliendo right now? Lol
George W. Bush, the fake cowboy. Was he drunk?
He makes white house feel so empty since he and Obama left. This will end. America is lost under his careless mouth and hate, people need it back like yesterday
Don’t forget how bad of a president Bush was, major recession, Iraq war etc etc etc !
“May God Bless Anti-Pas and all his Faithful Martyrs IN CHRIST.”
I never knew the man. I don’t follow Black Politics or their issues, it simply does not appeal to me. I don’t believe in their issues and I believe that many of the ‘gaps’ that they have created in time, space, income, treatment, often comes from within their own Social Issues. However, it would appear, that This person, was a part of a Political Body, that ‘made an effort’, to make changes in Society and how others, behaved in nature to these groupings.”
So ‘liken unto Anti-Pas’ and all the other ‘Faithful Martyrs’, may ‘God give them all a New Name’, one where they are no longer confronted with all these previous cares and troubles, that they once had to face…. Words cannot make ammends for the wrongs which these people had to face and or own up to…
Now may “No more evil touch thee’, John Lewis…. NO MORE…..
And may God Bless, all those with you!
I did not attend your Funeral, nor was I ‘one with your Political Body’, however may you find the Peace and Dignity, that you have earned and deserve. Not only for what you did in your life, but for all that what you have done, will do for all of those, in the Future and or of Future Generations. Because that, is from where your “New Name’, will be given!
I dont see anyone hating on bush eulogy like they did obama.
Excellent speech. Bush has grown in style, humor, and speaking ability over time. His words were heartfelt.
This President signed my infant daughter’s’ citizenship document. I am grateful he welcomed my child openly to join in the pursuit of happiness of the American dream. I’m reminded of this today because John Lewis believed in that too. Thank you President Bush & John Lewis for standing tall with American’s greatest power – democracy & the light to the World for those who seek it.
Bush has a bad memory. Lewis racist.
George W., sorry about all the harsh words I had for you back in the day. I may have said something along the lines of “worst president ever”. As destiny would have it, I’ve had to eat those words. You don’t even come close.
Great.
President Bush, I like you a lot out of office. 👍🏾
W doesn’t look so bad now, does he, Democrats?? Never Trump!
No sign of the Orange Stain. I guess the room was too dark for him.
Rest in peace Mr. Lewis.
I hate this guy for what he did to Iraqi people. He is a murderer
Why does John Lewis always look angry? Knitted brows permanently reside on his face.
I’d gladly take 8 more years of W over one extra day of Trump.
“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the Lord, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow, Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat, the good of the land; But if you refuse and rebel, You shall be devoured by the sword”; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. Isaiah 1:18-20. The Lord blesses unity.
R.I.P. John Lewis. We will all miss you.
Obama was the most corrupt and sleaziest politician in US history.. Bush caused a lot of death with no reason
Good to see George there with all of his globalist socialists buddy’s
God Bless 🙏😇❣️
When was that AMERICA had a PRESIDENT LAST?
Make February 21st a national holiday for John’s birthday
Bush was a terrible president who cares what he has to say.
Why did Trump not attend?
President Bush, am so glad Donald tRump because president because I would’ve not appreciated your service for this nation. Am sorry. You and your family represented this country well, God bless you.
I never believed he believed some of the things he said when he was president.
I believed him sincere and real today.
As others said below, Trump’s absence here tells you all you need to know about him. A petulant child mixed with a rebellious, troubled teenager. I look forward to the day he is out of office and trust he will never have the fortitude to attend a public event alongside other former US Presidents. Can you imagine him sitting among them, scowling face, hunched over with this arms folded defiantly. The USA lost a decent man in Rep John Lewis, but will be a lot better off once the likes of Donald Trump is 6 feet under.
Why is this old fossil still alive?
Bush made some very terrible mistakes, but I think they were due at root to his excessive patriotism and religious belief. Compared to the fake Republican Trump he now seems like a wonderful person.
As Shakespeare said, “Some rise by sin, others by virtue fall.”
I’m not a Bush fan, but this was a lovely, heartfelt speech. I miss presidents who know how to behave themselves and be decent. Not everything is about politics, and not everything is about ourselves. Thank you, Mr. Bush, Mr. Clinton, and Mr. Obama.
He was a race baiter. Good riddens!
I did not like Bush’s politics, but I do like him as a human being. He’s warm, kind, thoughtful and has a warm sense of humour.
W. Bush selling bull like he did on 911-what was in the envelopes that you and Obama got at poppys or was it at McCain’s funeral? hopefully they were grand jury indictments for your part setting up 911 and Obama(renegade) for sedition and treason
Vote and let Healing begin!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL-uatlGekQ
Amazing! Loved the chicken story. I’m sure Mr. Lewis would be laughing with you Fmr President Bush!
Love, Peace, Hope, Justice, and Equality!
We will never forget your service, sacrifice, and courage Mr. Congressman John Lewis! 🙏🏼
Love all these good old boys–Bush..Clinton….Bush is rehabbing his bad image more than even Nixon….He looks good compared to Trump
Criminal Family. …..
John Lewis “I never once question President Bush’s intelligence.”
I’ve always enjoy listening to all of these ex-president’s speak in the past. The imposter in the WH, should be embarrass having only 50 words in his vocabulary.
George Bush, Clinton& Obama are what America truly represents. Not Trump!
Bush Jr. made a costly mistake to not have listened to his father’s advice: don’t pick Cheney as VP. Father knew what’s best for his son.
Hilarious Guy, I always liked Bush he’s a cancer FYI. Didn’t agree with some of his political decisions, but that’s neither here nor there. Still like him, and still watch all his Whitehouse correspondence dinners just to laugh when I’m down. They’re gold.
Pretty bad when your own brother calls you out. https://newsthud.com/barack-obamas-half-brother-calls-him-a-cold-and-ruthless-president/
Who ever believed that we would miss president Bush?
https://youtu.be/pJusL-BZBF8
“remembers”
Thank you President Bush
Why was Trump not invited, so sad. He would have given a tough powerful tremendous speech.
Of all the eulogies, I thought Baby Bush’s was best.
George Bush is a WAR CRIMINAL.
I disagreed on things George W. Bush did but as him being a Republican, it was actually refreshing to hear him. He don’t compare to what we have now in office.
His father’s funeral I will,always remember another American president just saying
Jr needs to b put out to pasture.
Before the only guy who could say I missed Bush is just the guy who threw a shoe at him and missed. Today after the traitor we have in the white house everyone of us can make the statement , same as the shoe thrower, ” I miss Bush” .
