George H W Bush is still in hospital n/t

[malaise]

[Barack_America]

1. That's fairly unusual for "bronchitis".

I won't speculate further.

[malaise]

2. Precisely n/t

8. I think that old mans conscience is killing him

remember in little boots first term when poppy was giving a speech somewhere in Florida, I think it was, and he broke down and started crying at the podium. Best I remember it had something to do with little boot's war crimes in Iraql. I'd like to see him live a while longer as I think he is a very troubled man. I think he used to be cold hearted and probably still is but I also think something caused him to develop a conscience as he's aged. Personally I think that poppy had something to do with the assassination of Kennedy as well as much of the underhanded shit throughout the world his whole career.

9. I'd love a final word

on JFK and Dallas

[madokie]

17. Yes many of us would

poppy is the only person in the world who doesn't remember where he was that faithful day even though there is photos of him in Dallas.
Poppy is an evil sob

[tularetom]

10. Maybe he should fess up to all the shit he pulled before he goes to the pearly gates

I agree, I don't think we have even scratched the surface of the evil deeds of this silly old fart.

He's a low life piece of shit in my opinion, but I don't want him to croak until he is exposed to the world.

And the worst part of it is, he is the good parent. The other one is even worse.

[madokie]

18. I have to agree with you on that

Yes she taught them how to be conniving,thieving lowlife crooks who'll do any and all it takes to accomplish whatever they set out to do. No restraints at all.

[sheshe2]

5. At his age...no it is not unusual.

[Barack_America]

7. In my limited experience as an MD, yes, it is.

[sheshe2]

13. No MD for me just lots of Dr and Nurses in the family

What I was saying was that bronchitis at his age will probably be leading to far more serious issues. Something like this can prove fatal to a man of his age. I know my dad is 91.

He resides now in a nursing home now. He has Alzheimer's and recently suffered a stroke. I am happy that he still knows my name. He still talks to me. It is all I can ask for now.

[malaise]

14. Nice that he still knows you

Alzheimer's is an awful disease. Mu cousin's husband had the worse case I can remember and he was a retired medical doctor.

[sheshe2]

15. Thank you Malaise

It is... he sees me when I come in and greets me and tells everyone that I am his youngest daughter!

Monday when I went in he asked me why his dad never comes to see him...I told him his dad passed away ( I did not tell him it was 58 years ago). He said oh okay I guess that's why.

[malaise]

16. Amazing how they always remember their deepest past but nothing recent

It's very sad

[sheshe2]

20. I know this is not an exact analogy...

However it is about the full circle...parent nurtures child. Then child turns full circle and nurtures parent.

23. One thing to consider.

The flu is here VERY early in Texas. If that is complicating the bronchitis, he can have a prolonged hospitalization. I know I did.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

3. Does he have Obama care?

[DefenseLawyer]

4. Maybe before he checks out he'll admit he was in the CIA in 63 n/t

[malaise]

11. That would be nice but I won't hold my breath

[JI7]

6. he has appeared really frail the last few times i have seen him

Jimmy Carter is the same age as him so you can see how weak HW really is.

[malaise]

12. For real

I'm sure Carter had the better diet

[democrattotheend]

19. Please, people, be respectful

There is no need to say anything nasty in situations like this. I wish him a full recovery.

[malaise]

24. Huh? n/t

[democrattotheend]

25. On another DU thread about GHWB, some people said nasty things

Which I just don't think is appropriate on a thread about someone being in the hospital.

[BlueStreak]

27. I agree. There will be plenty of other opportunities to comment on what he did with his life.

[lastlib]

26. not trying to be nasty, but I think we're showing him all the respect he deserves....

...Jus' sayin'...............

[LeftInTX]

21. He has been confined to a wheelchair for several months and recently gained weight.

[Earth_First]

22. Maybe while he's there he'll remember some of the shit-tastic things he's done in life...

Well, I doubt it.
