That is not a "break down", those are well-deserved tears for a final farewell to one's father. It was a beautiful eulogy.

And I thought Canadians were polite. These comments against president Bush are pathetic. He’s lived a better life than any of you trolls.

I generally vote democratic ..but im an American first and foremost and the Bush Family is dignity and class personified. Partisan politics aside..their contribution to our country is greatly appreciated! RIP Mr Bush and i pray that heaven has a special place reserved for u.

Rest in peace Mr president god bless you a very sad couple of days

[RoyalSnowbird]

Mulroney buttered it up far too much here - ...at the detriment of the value and accomplishments of other much more laudable presidents who deserve a greater accolade than this. By doing this, he undermined the work of some past presidents who were indeed most deserving and this is simply wrong. . . Bush made some serious blunders which needlessly cost many lives... and something to express regret and some form of apology may have been made here but the opportunity was lost. . .

RIP GHW Bush.. I really enjoyed this service.!! Didn't you??? I didn't
agree with all of GH politics but I respect this Great American for his
Military Service and many things he did to bring the world together..!!
