This is AS I SEE IT, by Mike "Mainer Mike" Brown.

Although I think it's great what Bush is doing at such an age, or any age, for that matter, he shouldn't have said what he said about how you don't have to sit in a corner drooling when you get old.

George, some people at your age are drooling in a corner because they are very ill, and don't have much time left because of it.

If you have health, you should take advantage of it.

But some people are too sick to go skydiving, and can't help but drool in a corner.

That's AS I SEE IT. I'm Mike "Mainer Mike" Brown.

Happy Birthday Mr. President, and wishes for many more to come to you and all the WW2 veterans.
Thank you for your service in WW2.

Too bad his idiot kid didn't try it without a parachute, before the 2000 elections.

The world would be a far better place because of it.

Seriously people...this article is about the man's 85th birthday....lay off the personal attacks, I'm a liberal too, wasn't a fan of the former Bush presidents, but we have to have a little more dignity then this.

Its too bad the Bird of Paradise didn't find the old fart on his way down.

Bush Senior is DIRECTLY responsible for the economic mess we had in 1991 and thanks to him, we have FREE TRADE!!!!!

And, of course, thanks to him we have been "blessed" with George W. Bush and Jeb Bush!!!!

Does that make your stomach turn or what???

HAIL OBAMA???

I wonder how #41 feels about his own son being so horrific a president that he put their party on life support.....

[nofoolling]

Since this is one of the ringleaders in the forever war for forever profits scam/scheme, wmd, wmd, I say we send him to Leavenworth for his birthday party, and leave him there.

I wonder if he'll share some of his bloodmoney with the families of the 3/4 of a million dead men, women, and children he helped murder?

[realityzone]

I always liked Mr. Bush Sr., Happy Birthday.

Wrong. It actually helps keep us from making the same mistakes again in the future.

More importantly, perhaps, expressing it also helps ensure that our children and grandchildren hear it and internalize it as well, so that THEY don't make the same mistake in the future.

People have long memories. Family units have even longer memories. When a political party screws one generation over, the lesson lives on through many of the generations that follow.

Republicans often tend to forget that particular dynamic, for some reason. But it's the reason they so seldom enjoy the honor of being voted into positions of political power.
