Well, this is something I and many others have been saying for a long, long time. now we have CONFIRMATION "straight from the horse's mouth," as it
were.
The quote comes from a speech by Pres. Obama at a tribute event for George Bush Sr. (The father, not the son):
Reporting from College Station, Texas - In a glowing tribute to a Republican predecessor, President Obama on Friday praised President George H.W. Bush
as an example of someone who eschewed "a life of comfort and privilege" and instead devoted himself to public service -- inside government and
out.
During an evening speech to honor the public service institute that Bush founded two decades ago, Obama called for cooperation between Republicans and
Democrats. The former president, he said, proved that "the R or D next to your name is irrelevant" in challenging times.
"You might not always know it from watching the cable news shows or listening to folks on the radio," Obama said, but "I think we're standing in
one of those moments."
...Friends of George H.W. Bush said that he has a genuine regard for Obama and that he came up with the idea six months ago of inviting the president
to come to this college town to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Points of Light Institute.
