Dear Bill,

When I walked into this office just now I felt the same sense of wonder and respect that I felt four years ago. I know you will feel that, too.

I wish you great happiness here. I never felt the loneliness some Presidents have described.

There will be very tough times, made even more difficult by criticism you may not think is fair. I’m not a very good one to give advice; but just don’t let the critics discourage you or push you off course.

You will be our President when you read this note. I wish you well. I wish your family well.

Your success now is our country’s success. I am rooting hard for you.

Good luck—

George

yessiree.... well done George..

Nice

A crook writing an encouragement note to another crook.

How sweet.

Yes, for all his faults, Bush senior harks back to a time when political leaders communicated via hand-written letters and dealt with people, including their opponents, with respect.

Sadly, if Trump is any guide, those days are gone.

and here you are using technology to get your message across..


how weird!


who does that?

Bush was a War-mongerer.
More a General in a President's chair.
No wonder the Asian nations got scared and accelerated their weapon's arsenal.
Bush represented everything about the USA 'invading' other nations.

Trump has been a breath of fresh air for the USA and the world too!
Sure he is not the best 'public speaker' - but he is 'defensive' and a 'peace-mongerer'. Yep - the guy used Politics for Peace, not War  ;)

It's a pity Clinton.H didn't show the same grace in defeat.

She didn't have to like Trump but she should have wanted him to do well for the sake of her country.

But that isn't how sociopathic narcissists think.

Trump ridiculed Pres. George H. W. Bush as late as September - no class.

Good on Trump.
Bush was a 'dangerous' President.
He would have liked to be in charged during the Cold War.
He would have made sure he got some 'action' against the USSR, so he would be remembered in history... and by what was left of the human race.  ::)

When I saw some recent footage of H in a wheelchair I did the doubletake, for a sec I thought it was Larry Flynt.

I would have to respect your experience in this case.

Nice vid, child pinner.

I slept soundly knowing that monster was gone. He was the least shittest George Bush. But I did not like him.

The oily elephant in the room as with all US Presidents is the connection with Saudi petro-do-Allah funding terrorism, and not a peep from any of them about the topic of Saudi wealthy getting away with exporting oil with murder and terrorism.

Must keep the oil flowing, and make the excuse that Saudi Arabia is friends to the US and Israel, then turn a blind eye even when Saudi nationals funded by the Saudi royals fly jet liners into buildings killing thousands of US citizens.

Admire and respect a president who can change the love and greed of oil to a hydrogen economy and doesn't bomb the crap out of countries that don't comply to USA business interest....if there ever be one.

i'd actually say trump is the best public speaker in the history of mankind.
he just talks and talks and he has 100 % conviction about what he is saying, whether it is true or not.
that is about as effective as you can be.
people are mesmerised by a man who has 100 % conviction.

most men are wishy woshy supplicating panderers.
they wear their heart on their sleeve and they talk to the crowd as if they want to convince everyone they are a "nice guy".
thats their own ego that needs the approval.

but we humans KNOW that you dont get to be president or prime minister unless you are ruthless, ambitious, egotistical, narcissistic and dammed selfish.

trump OWNS that.
thats authentic.

in a world of BS, trump has cottoned onto the fact that you just have to man up and own.
thats what is refreshing jasin.
thats what is honest.
thats how he "trumped" those fake beta males

you have to give Trump his due..


hes never far from everyones mind.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

they want to paint trump as some dumbie.

lets see someone else go from nothing to president in 18 months, based solely off his ability to communicate with the electrorate.
trump understands what the others dont.

the "nice guy " persona doesnt "wash".

dont pretend to be a nice guy.
be authentic
give it out raw and say whats on your mind.

i truly believe trump wants to see america become great again.

surverys before trump won showed 75 % of americans thought america was in decline.
that it was past its greatest days.  and the elites are comfortable with that.

i would think that 75 % of australians feel we have passed our peak.
kids face lame jobs delivering pizza and making coffee. they will be lucky not to be renting for life and commuting thru heavy traffic for hours.

and our elites (canberra, the leftie intellectuals, the inner city do gooders )are fine with that.
thay are fine with a managed decline of the country.
they see no problems with it.
they dont like the west, they dont like the judeo christian foundation of the west and they think that people who aspire to do well are greedy and selfish.

thats what you will get from Morrison and Shorten.   a pair of well paid smiling beta males who will happily manage the decline of the country.

and most people are so passive, so lazy, so fat and entitled and so used to whining and complaining that they arent going to do anything to help out either.

an ineffective weak leadership and an ineffective lazy ungrateful electorate...the worst of both worlds  :'(

George H W & son George W

both crooks

and sonny jim was Pres when 9/11 occurred

the trigger to get to invade Afghanistan looking for
Bin Laden ....

which only took a decade because he was in Pakistan  ;D

another supposed US ally .....similar to the Saudis I suppose.

An ally that's a nest of Islamic terrorists.

Makes a bit of a contradiction of the "War on Terrorism".

good points.

the "swamp" as trump calls it is the washington establishment, the mainstream media and the global corporations.

all recent presidents have been beholden to this power base.

eisenhower called it 'the military industrial complex".

7 trillion dollars spent in these middle eastern basket cases  .

10's of 1000's of sons of midwestern middle class families sacrificed .

imagine if you had spent that 7 trillion on detroit or chicago or st louis?

thank god a swamp draining president has been able to push thru all the BS.

I hope that's true because there hasn't been one that has or should I say tried to that's lived to to tell the tale in retirement.

the elites arent going to just give up power.
not when trillions of dollars are at stake.

obama just handed over a trillion to the corrupt financial institutions in the GFC.
of 250 people refered for prosecution, a total of zero were ever tried.
and they kept their bonuses.
and thats under a leftie african american president.
thats how strong the elites are.

the mainstream media , the elites, the washington establishment hate and detest trump and they are out to bring him down.
they probably will.

trump was smart to recognise this and go directly to the people via twitter.
without twitter , he would be gone.

it amazes me that the left arent on board with trump.
the left should be the party of the working class,
the elites dont give a feeeck about the working class.....in america, in europe , in australia.
and the leftie elites have become bedfellows with the globalists and the mainstream media and the establishment.

the establishment HATE trump.
the mainstream and the left paint trump as "from the establishment".

thats so wrong on so many levels, it just shows their twisted intent

Good paraphrasing, But this is common for PResidents. But as Malcolm Farr said on insiders yesterday, can you imagine thec current bozo doing that?

Pitty the mongrel wasn't killed at birth.

I have my own reasons to not like him. But he was not a monster, from my point of view -- updated opinion. His son ("Junior") was, off the record, a nutsy.
