Rest In Peace President Bush!

If you look at photos of the 41st president, Jim Napolitano was typically in the frame with other Secret Service agents, keeping a watchful eye.

“We were there looking for anything that could be a possible problem,” said Napolitano.

The retired Secret Service agent spent more than 20 years with the agency. He said that working on the Bush detail included busy schedules and traveling across the country to protect the former president and his family.

Napolitano said that he once took a golf ball to the back to shield Barbara Bush at a golf tournament and spent tense moments with the former president aboard a 747 that had a hole in the wing.

Napolitano said that through the monumental and ordinary days, George H.W. Bush was always a constant in his kindness and respect to others.

“He taught a lot of people by his actions how to treat others,” Napolitano said. “At the Houstonian, I saw him treat everyone from the maintenance guys to the gardeners to the head of the hotel all the same. He was always very gracious and kind to everyone.”

Tcreely: It always amazes me how many nice, thoughtful, and helpful people contribute here each day.....and then there are a few, hateful, unhappy people like you who show up!

You know, I feel the same way you do - seeing jerks like this guy labeled the "beloveds". It takes all kinds I guess. -- Meanwhile, quite the bodycount he built up.

People that think the world is just "Great" will never help to solve it's many problems.

There is a growing segment in our society that think like you. That greatly concerns me.

He's entitled to his opinion. I believe that it was Jack London who wrote about one of the characters in his story;"If everybody said he was great then it's probably not true."

Clinton almost did die choking here in Canada recently. Oh, well, maybe next time! Rumor has it, she will run again!
