I was not a fan of George W. Bush, who I felt was blindly led into the Iraqi War for no good reason.  I appreciate that after he left the WH, he avoided politics, and didn't speak publicly.  I have read that in person, he is a very warm person with a sense of humor.  In the last couple of days, he put out a video that talked about the need to set partisan politics aside and be united in the fight against the virus.  it's a very warm and heartfelt video.  So along come Trump today and berates GWB for not supporting him during his impeachment hearings and blah, blah, blah.  Trump is trying to walk away from the virus and pretent it doesn't exist anymore, because he is worried about his re-election with an incurable (as of now) virus and a slipping economy.  I know that others here disagree with me about the virus, about what needs to be done with the economy, etc.  But I have to say that his video raised my esteem of GWB.  The man that led us after 9/11 - a shocked and heartbroken nation.
