The Dallas Morning News put up a photo gallery of staff photographers favorite images of 2012 (gallery here) This photo of George W. Bush was listed — description as follows:
April 28, 2012 – On day three of the the Warrior 100K Bike Ride in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, we were told that former President George W. Bush was going to hang back with a couple of the riders who had amputated legs. As I waited at the bottom of a slope, Melissa Stockwell rode by and said, “President Bush just pushed me up that hill!” I started sprinting up a 100 yard incline. Just as I reached the crest, Daniel Gade came over the top and said the exact same thing. I continued along the trail and stopped just ahead of the final group at the base of a smaller hill. As I leaned over a yucca plant with my camera, President Bush hopped off his bike, and with a running start, helped Daniel to the top and over.

Remember when we had a President who pushed people needing help UP cliffs and not OVER them? Yeah, me neither. And here’s praying that his Dad GHW Bush gets better soon.
I’m unable to tell whether I’m more angry or sad anymore. I think I’ll keep my Christmas lights up for a while longer. Maybe all year.
Only 70 year old men and horribly flawed rednecks leave the lights up year round! Which are you?
GEorge W. Bush…definitely a class act! Not perfect, but a far sight better than before him and after him!
Roger that.
“Class” is no longer cool, fritz. We have this self absorbed piece of crap occupying our White House, but he is considered by the uninformed and ignorant to be”COOL!”
I do miss having a president…
What, not enough Executive Orders from the current occupier of the Oval Office to remind you just how presidential He [sic] is?
The fool in now power is just a POS . Someone yank the chain .
