Should give an indication of what kind of person he is. Not that it matters to his supporters.

the second and it sure does say a lot about a person if they can't stand animals.

Andrew Johnson apparently "fed white mice he found in his bedroom."

I can't imagine what a man like that might do to a helpless animal.

because of his pets that he takes everywhere including the bunny rabbit.

We had a republican POTUS bragging about his dogs puppies and it was worth a news conference. WTF happened to stick us with the orange loon?

Nobody could have foreseen where we are now. I mean the Republican party, at the time, was still catering to social conservatives (and I hated that), but it was nothing like what the country faces now.

She was comfortable in her own skin and embraced her aging without fear. She proudly wore her gray hair and did not rely on cosmetic enhancements beyond some light makeup. She understood that there is a regal beauty in aging and she did not need to go through gyrations to look younger to please and conform to others pronouncements of what is beautiful. That takes a certain amount of guts and self esteem for someone in the public eye. I respected her for that.

My mother did the same thing.

I can think of at least one prominent Republican man in his 70s who really needs to let go of the "tanned, youthful, windswept look".

It is pathetic.

Personally, I liked her a lot.

Just as most of us do. This is not acting on their part. You can tell from their expressions.

And then told one of the reporters, "No, I can't let you hold him because I don't trust you." And he wasn't being snarky - he just seemed to be really protective of his little puppy. So sweet!

The Bushes look so young.

That seems so long ago - another era.

I love that President Bush doesn't seem the least bit concerned that the little puppy might pee on him ...

Yes, another time.

...I have a very fond memory of Barbara Bush.

During the Bush to Clinton transition after the 1992 election, when Hillary came to the White House to meet with Mrs. Bush for the first time, as they met on the walkway in, the two of them shared a very warm hug, and it was Mrs. Bush who initiated it.

I really miss that type of civility in politics.

PEACE!

And it wasn't that long ago when that was the norm.

Sweet!

for a band,

"Barbara Bush and the Puppies"

had lukemia. he wanted to see the puppies. his family & he got his wish & the barbara was very kind. he passed away a few days after. they didn't have cameras, so she made sure photos were taken.

Barbara Bush is not someone I admire, may she rest in peace!

The moment you pick up a puppy, the mother goes with you. My cat was worried in the same way with her kittens. Credit to Barbara Bush to recognize the worries of the mother and handing the puppy back to her so that she sees that everything is ok.
