ANDY YATES:
It was an incredible day to be there to honor the man George W. Bush, and see that
people are just beginning to appreciate his contributions in service to America
as our 43rd President.
I think he is rightly going to be regarded with a high place
in history. He thinks his legacy will endure over time, and I think he’s
absolutely right. Anytime all living former Presidents are together, that was
very special to see – regardless of party – the bond and appreciation for each
other that they have. You could tell that they all truly do hold each other in
high regard. I think the high stress
level of the job contributes to the respect they hold for one another. The four former president, and President
Obama, did a great job in honoring
George W. Bush. They were very sincere and humble in the way they did it, and
it seemed a wonderful moment for him hear the only living people who have gone through the test
of actually being president to sing your praises as he did. They were very intent on keeping him
first on his special day, and was very magnanimous I thought.
It was particularly gratifying to note the solid bond that
has developed between President George W. Bush and his family and President
Bill Clinton. They have come through very bruising elections, and to become
friends, and to work together for the
betterment of mankind, whether it
was Haiti or Katrina or 9/11, it
was very neat to see the cross-partisan support for each other, and the genuine
admiration that was evident. Just
a great All-American occasion in honor of George W. Bush.
To me, the most memorable moment of the day was to hear
George W. Bush talk about his family – his father and mother, his wife, his two
children, his new granddaughter – to see him weep as he talked about the close-knit family, and
to see his daughter Jenna also moved to tears, it was incredible to see what a
great family that is, and to hear him
speak from his heart about such
blessings.
I sensed that it was God’s timing that this happened so
close to the birth of his granddaughter. It was if God had just planned it all.
So all the special family ties that seemed to knit this event together showed
everyone what a warm and passionate man President George W. Bush is.
