And yet, George and Laura Bush remained classy and respectful as always with a standing ovation for President Obama’s eulogy.

That's a shame. Bush has done more for Africa than Obama can even hope to do.

A shame, but typical.

Leftists don't think.  They don't care.  They're like children........only not in the good ways.  Only the bad.
