George W. Bush, talks about his book on his father's presidency "41: A Portrait of My Father," at the Bush presidental library in College Station, Texas. This follows his book "Decision Points," on his own presidency. George W. says his father's accomplishments are overshadowed by the work of a transformative president (Reagan) who preceded him. The short period of four years in office also affects the assessment of the elder Bush. There is now greater appreciation of the work done in this period, especially the period when the Berlin Wall collapsed and the Soviet Union dissolved and the role played by the elder Bush in the transition. Bush describes the relationship with his father when he was president as one in which it was the comfort and help that counted for more than looking for any particular advice, especially as he admired his father. The elder Bush, 90, was in the audience. Remarkable for the longevity of the father-son pair compared to Adams and John Quincy, as Adams passed away 16 months after his son became U.S. president. And more so because his brother, Jeb Bush, is likely to run for president in 2016.

George W. Bush- a quiet voice in the retirement years but still audible

11/02/2013

George W. Bush has stayed out of the discussion of issues relating to foreign policy, America's role in the world, and "compassionate conservatism" relating to stands on Medicare, immigration, and domestic issues. Yet most of the issues such as security surveillance, the Middle East, immigration and the Bush tax cuts relate back to when Bush was president. Friends say Bush has expressed concern about the rise of the Tea Party and America's isolationist role in world affairs. He spends time in Dallas, with his passions being painting, golf, and mountain biking.

We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
