Former US president George HW Bush has taken a turn for the a worse and is in intensive care after a "stubborn fever" delayed his recovery from bronchitis, a spokesman said this morning.

"He's had a series of setbacks now that have landed him in guarded condition in the intensive care unit," spokesman Jim McGrath told the AFP news agency.

The 88-year-old was first admitted to Methodist Hospital in Houston on November 7 for bronchitis treatment and released on November 19.

“He’s had a series of setbacks now that have landed him in guarded condition in the intensive care unit,” spokesman Jim McGrath told AFP.

I have no ill personal will toward him. And I appreciate his signing into law the ADA and raising taxes on the rich.

but they have continued to lie. G H W Bush has been in hospital from Nov 7 - 19th and then from Thanksgiving to today. It has always been more serious they they have pretended.

I have no doubt that Obama is on his way home for this reality.

I actually watched his documentary on HBO and it wasn't bad. I'm guessing right about now he's missing his boat. He spoke about it being something he could still do at his age that he enjoyed doing because there wasn't much else he could do.
