Even in death, John McCain showed us again how decent he was by asking to be eulogizing by the two men he lost to. RIP McCain.

“He was courageous, with a courage that frightened his captors, and inspired his countrymen “

Well said Mr. President

Fifteen years ago I had no idea that I would end up respecting and liking George W. Bush as well as i do now.

I can’t believe how divided we’ve become. After watching Joe Biden, Obama and George Bush, three politicians with polar opposite positions come together and speak about how great McCain was for his bipartisanship and never allowing identity politics to take him over. All I see in the comments is bashing and exactly what each speaker was trying to warn us of. I finished watching all of the speakers, both Democrats and Republicans inspired. The comments of the people, not so much.

In honor of John McCain, I am admitting my errors in misjudging the character of George W Bush. With benefit of hindsight, I can see that he is far more introspective, and decent than I gave him credit for. As a progressive, I cannot say that I agree with his politics, but I can admit that he meant well for America & is far more admirable a leader than I gave him credit for, especially compared to the present stain on our great country.

I remember sitting in front of the television with my mother and father having just watched George W. bush defeat then Senator John Kerry and how angry and disappointed i was. But over the years of bush's presidency i never felt the lashing of his presidency nor did i ever feel like the country was divided or the extreme hate, bigotry and separation of country as i feel now. Looking back at the past and now watching George W. bush deliver an amazing speech/eulogy for a great senator, i realize how much respect i have for this man and how much of the character and genuine spirit this country was moved by. I really enjoyed listening to all the speeches. This is the old kind of politics i was raised on. Sadly today this is not so. A president that cant even form one inspiring speech or sentence. Were better than this!

Who knew he'd be giving another eulogy a quarter year later for his dad :'(

Keep hate out of a funeral! Watching all the former Presidents speak, makes me miss the Greatness of them, irrespective of the party.

Great men who honored a great man and friend. A man who gave his life to serve his country. Thank you Obama. Bush. Biden.

I am a liberal democrat, but I so much respect George W. Bush! I believe his heart and soul was always and continues to be dedicated to the United States of America and to the soldiers who have served and continue to our country!

Beautiful speeches of respect and honest from the former president. #RIPJohnMcCain

A wonderful eulogy, from a President I didn't vote for, reminding us that there's more uniting us than dividing us. That love of our country & decency are bipartisan. That vitriol and divisiveness *must* stop, for all our sake's.

I never thought I'd miss Bush but here we are. Strange times we live in.

[SamStern-ihdy]

Wow, this was a genuinely powerful speech. RIP senator McCain.

[jgroenveld]

This is the America I miss.... the idea of uniting in times of need, putting our differences aside so we could unite as a front.

[khachiefa]

May he rest in peace. I love him and his country loves him.

Always good to see former presidents

[alexmadio]

If Trump was invited to do a eulogy for McCain, he would have made it entirely about himself.
