Ex-President George H.W. Bush sends Obama regards
HOUSTON (AP) — Former President George H.W. Bush and his wife, Barbara, are congratulating President Barack Obama as he begins his second term.
The 88-year-old former president issued a statement today saying: “Barbara and I send President and Mrs. Obama — and their wonderful girls — our best wishes and prayers on this historic day. May Almighty God bless them and our wonderful country over the next four years.”
Bush was released a week ago from a Houston hospital where he was treated for nearly two months for a bronchitis-related cough and other health issues. He served two terms as Ronald Reagan’s vice president before he was elected in 1988 to his only term as the nation’s 41st president.
He was inaugurated Jan. 20, 1989.

That was very nice, kind, and thoughtful of George HW. and Barbara.
Just cuirious, where's George's son been hiding?!
Oh, we forgot ...young George still hiding like the rodent Punxsutawney Phil (the GroundHog) -we won't see him till Feb. 2...he's always afraid of his own shadow and temporarily emerges then
swiftly returns back into his hole!
I didn't always agree with Bush 41's policies, but this was a classy thing to do.
