NOTE

In October 2022, the author was asked to write another book featuring George Herbert Walker Bush, a man who left a blueprint for a more civil society that respects the rule of law, respects and even likes one another, and looks to the future with optimism and hope. The author believes that George Bush taught many people how to think through issues, be decisive, lead with integrity, give back, make a difference, and be a better person.

The author acknowledges that George Bush was not perfect, but he was still a politician who knew how to play political hardball when needed. He was close friends with Bob Dole, Geraldine Ferraro, Michael Dukakis, and William Jefferson Clinton. Despite his imperfections, they eventually moved on and shook hands.

The author also mentions that George Bush was not considered a gifted politician, but he knew how to play political hardball when needed. He called Geraldine Ferraro shortly before her death and even walked out of his wheelchair to pay respects to his old political opponent when 411 lay in state in the Capitol Rotunda.

In conclusion, George Herbert Walker Bush left a legacy of kindness, integrity, and leadership that can help us move towards a more civil society that respects the rule of law, respects and even likes one another, and looks to the future with optimism and hope.
