When a President of the United States steps down from office, he will traditionally leave behind a note for his successor in the Oval Office.

The note penned by George HW Bush to Bill Clinton has gone viral in recent days, after it was shared on social media by Twitter user @CameronJJJ, who described it as “magnanimous, bipartisan & dignified.”

Yep, a classy guy who did not approve would have publicly broadcast an apology for bad acts by his underlings.

Instead, Bill went looking for high paying speeches and likely took airplane trips to some Caribbean island....
