happy birthday mr. president. be safe.

what a sense of adventure he still has at age 90. WOW!!!

George H.W. Bush, you’re just the fifth American president to live to 90! How are you going to celebrate?

It’ll be Bush’s eighth parachute jump — his inaugural leap from an airplace came September 2, 1944, when he was shot down over the Pacific during World War Two.

Compare this to obama who never did anything for his country and spent his early years snorting coke and smoking dope. How far we have fallen.

George H.W. Bush makes 90th birthday parachute jump

If there was one living ex-president I could meet, Mr. Bush is the one. He has lived a hell of a life, and keeps right on living it.

True, but I think I would rather have a beer with Billy Boy Clinton. We could relive his adventures in the Oval Office, the governors mansion, and the back of his El Camino and I could tell him all about Bangkok, Vientiane and Saigon. Two old men over a few beers reliving the seeder parts of their lives.

You just take every right wing smear story at face value, don't you?
 
Re: George H.W. Bush to make 90th birthday parachute jump.

not a huge fan of him or his son as presidents, but happy 90th birthday. i like that he is still doing well, and is able to skydive. live life to the hilt. that's the way i would like to see 90.

I'd ask why but I don't want to know.

Back then the motto for a GI was to work hard and play hard. We did both.

Yeah, we all did and they still do, big deal. If I'm gonna sit around talking to a president I cannot imagine I'd want to discuss such things let alone make my choice based upon that.


ps. What unit?
 
Re: George H.W. Bush to make 90th birthday parachute jump.

You guys have some major problems with ODS. Hint: this thread is about Bush. It related to Obama not at all.

It would be refreshing not to bring President Obama into a thread that is celebrating former President Bush's 90th birthday jump.

What's so great about this jump is that being wheelchair-bound now didn't deter the President. His next promised jump is on his 95th birthday, and I hope he makes it.

I hope he does too.

I have to give the old guy props. Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane @ 90? No thanks.

Anytime I drive on the GW Parkway and see this sign, I still laugh my ass off.

Funny, you could switch out Obama for Dubya and that sentence would work just as well.

Not me...I don't want to 'see' 90 at all.

Most people that I know that are over 75 seem to despise it...pass.

Re: George H.W. Bush to make 90th birthday parachute jump.

Obama admitted being a coke head. Dubya was accused of it.

Yes, and he kept weaseling in his use of wording as to when he didn't use drugs. No categoric denial, just "I didn't use drugs in the last seven years," which is an interesting time frame because that also just happens to be the statute of limitations. Realizing that wasn't enough, he then extended that to the last 25 years. This is actually worse because he's opening up the possibility that he did drugs in his youth and that's no good based on his position on zero tolerance for drug use by minors. And then the final hammer fell...

Having acknowledged that questions about background checks were legitimate, Bush backed into yet another trap. When nbc's David Bloom noted that current White House appointees must list any drug use since their 18th birthday, Bush suddenly stopped answering and ducked back behind his stone wall. He'd admitted making mistakes; if voters didn't like that answer, he said, "they can go find somebody else to vote for. That's the wonderful thing about democracy."

So you've got one guy who admits to it, and another who just lies about it.

HW Bush is a cool old guy. I'm glad he had fun on his 90th. Live life!
