How 2 ex-presidents showed what real leadership looks like - CNNPolitics.
People-focused as always, Barak Obama:
"Even if we can't get together in person this year, Michelle and I are excited to celebrate the nationwide Class of 2020 and recognize this milestone with you and your loved ones."
In an attempt to show unity in the midst of crisis and tragedy, George W. Bush communicated:
"We are not partisan combatants," Bush said. "We're human beings, equally vulnerable and equally wonderful in the sight of God. We rise or fall together. And we're determined to rise."
He [George W. Bush] then added that he had seen an amazing spirit rise in the country in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks and that "I have no doubt, none at all, that this spirit of service and sacrifice is alive and well in America.”
And then comes the reply!
In response to that stirring reminder of our common humanity, President Donald Trump tweeted that Bush "was nowhere to be found in speaking up against the greatest Hoax in American history!"
