Bill never felt alone in the Oval Office either.

[davidellis]

A very nice welcome. A gesture of a classy dignified man.

Maybe just me but I swear I heard his voice cracking some, like he was fighting back tears

[appletree]

It's nice to see that, and Michelle Obama's friendship with W. Proof that people can disagree profoundly with each other but still be civil and kind.

[micahcardamone]

A real class act, a true gentlemen. Who set aside his differences and recognized the importance of a unified country. I wish we had more people like him and it’s nice to see him and Bill were such good friends. Even though they were in opposing political parties

[jamesthomas]

Great throwback and great way for Clinton to put his wife’s defeat behind him by remembering himself as the former two-term president who had defeated his predecessor rather than the failed presidential nominee his wife is.

God, I just can't stand the fact that this guy got so old, I remember him in the 90s, he was so insanely charming and handsome. :(

Bush Sr was the antithesis of Trump. World War 2 veteran who was class all the way.

[libertyann]

I can just imagine what Trump will write to the next president.

This letter is the definition of class.

[semorgan]

P.S. I have information that will lead to the conviction of Hillary.

[HotRatsAndTheStooges]

While that letter was classy, none of the bushes were. They had a course and it ruined the world.
