Our best wellknown president ial historians who has written so many things and so many books, but im going to be asking you about some of the stuff i found in my old wellworn copy of character above all. The first thing id like to ask all of you is, we lost our bush and george bush just so close together. What kind of reassessment do you think this has brought for the country as to what the bush name stood for and whats the significantly was of all the work that they did in so many arenas of Public Service .

Weve got another 15 months to get more than our fill of 2020 president ial campaigning. Here we are going to take a few moments to remember a man who won it in 1988. Thatemed the longer he led lived, the more loved and appreciated became. I was struck like many others i think by this national outpouring of respect in the days leading up to and through the funeral of George Herbert walker bush. At the funeral of his wife barbara, seven months earlier, al gore said he served our nation with extraordinary integrity and grace. [applause] the country seemed anxious to separate those qualities last november and december. A world war ii hero before he began his long political career. By and large, history looks back pretty favorably on his residency.
