Comments on: Bush Sr. Makes 85th Bday Parachute Jump

George H.W. Bush Lands Safely In Maine, Vows To Repeat On 90th

[fred-mertz]

"He leaped from a plane and zoomed downward in freefall before parachuting safely to a spot near his Maine oceanfront home."

To me, it looks more like someone parachuting with a big baby in a papoose on his stomach. Bush was just along for the ride. He wasn't driving. He didn't jump. He didn't pick the landing.

Thats a good thing to say to a guy that might have kept you from being in one of Hitlers little camps." - specialty8

Are you saying Bush kept someone from "being in one of Hitlers little camps"??

Prescott Bush, father of G.H.W. Bush, grandfather of G.W. Bush, SUPPORTED Hitler! The Bush crime family made their money as bankers for HItler. That's a debt they can never repay.

[geewheeez]

good for you...I wish I can still walk when I am 85.

[mcintoshlou]

THIS IS MUCH MUCH MORE THEN HE EVER DID AS PRESIDENT,

MAY THE BUSH CRIME FAMILY SHOULD LIVE IN SHAME FOREVER

obomba,

Dartplayer,
Do you not think that he was being shot at or did he just crash them for the fun of it. Atleast he had the courage and that is much more than the new community organizer has.

[obomba1]

Sad to report the parachute opened.
Also sad to report his son wasn't attached to him.

[specialty8]

black4real,
At the rate this community organizer is going you might just get your wish. He will tell you what to eat, what to drink, where to work, where to bank, your doctor,and to buy the new Obamamobile. Need I keep going? It does not take much to figure out whats going on. This guy is just plain bad news. Lets hope we still have elections in 3 1/2 years so we can be rid of this -------.

The first time he jumped was from a naval bomber that had been shot out from under him in WWII.
He was later picked up by a US submarine

Incidentally the first of five planes he wrecked during the war. Oh just imagine how different the world would be today if that sub had just kept on truckin'.

[labrat9999]

I was sort of hoping it was GW Bush...jumping without a parachute to demonstrate how close to God he really is. Then I heard the rest of the story, Dick Cheney was jumping in tandem to remind George that he might be close to God but God takes care of those that take care of themself (Dick understands that part of the bible well)...AND WEAR A PHARACHUTE. Darn...Cheney messes things up again. Now I would pay good money to watch the whole bunch of them jump...Bush, Cheney, Rumy, Rush, Rove, and last but not least Falin...I mean Palin. Of course without a parachute. I wonder who would hit the ground first? Any bets?

[citizenusa-2009]

The little decider (G.W.Bush Jr.) would be TERRIFIED to jump because he couldn't be sure that his parachute was packed correctly . He knows that if he went "SPLAT" the entire nation would erupt in applause!

[TNisgoodenoughforme]

That is so cool! Happy Birthday President Bush!
