Crying for his child

In talking of his son Jeb, Bush 41 cried.

Years ago when I worked at NFPA I found a former president of the group in the library. He was in his late 70s and he was crying. He said it was a terrible thing to be useless.

This is not about aged men being emotional. I wonder if Bush 41 was crying about his other son, Bush 43. What must it be like to be the father of a son who has single-handedly almost destroyed the United States financially, undermined The Constitution, and failed miserably in Iraq.

Although I was never a big Bush 41 fan, he did know when he had to go back on his no new tax pledge and when to stop the Gulf War. He is a man who as a part of the Carlyle Group as well as an ex-president, has close relations with the Arab movers and shakers who must have told him of the damage his son was doing.

I wonder if Bush 41 was crying, not because of Jeb, but because he has stood by, and watched Bush 43 do so much damage and could do nothing.
