| Former U.S. President Bush Senior in Intensive Care |
| 2012-12-28 |
| [An Nahar] After more than a month in hospital battling bronchitis, former U.S. president George H.W. Bush has taken a turn for the worse and is in intensive care with a "stubborn fever," a front man said Wednesday. "He's had a series of setbacks now that have landed him in guarded condition in the intensive care unit," front man Jim McGrath told Agence La Belle France Presse. "Early last week it was really looking good, but then it seemed a couple of dominoes started falling and it was taking us in the wrong direction." The 88-year-old was first admitted to Methodist Hospital in Houston on November 7 for bronchitis treatment and released on November 19. But he was readmitted on November 23 after his cough flared up once more. |

| #9 Understood Charles, but would you like him as a next door neighbor? Would you like your kids to talk to him about what it's been been like? History will look upon him very kindly. |

| #8 Advisor said to "Put the harps away". So I'm not looking for him to die quite yet. Though I didn't particularly like how he fumbled everything away to Clinton. I feel alot of scorn mixed with admiration for the guy. |

| #4 It seems something gets nearly everybody. I'll take 88 with as big a smile as I can muster. |

| #3 Pneumonia is a common killer of the elderly. That metaphor of dominos falling is an apt one for the way many elders pass on, everything seems to go wrong at once. |

| #2 So do I - my father passed on two years ago this week, after having a month-long case of walking pneumonia. Then they discovered an underlying heart condition which had been going on for years, and those dominoes suddenly fell all in the wrong direction. |

| #1 I have a bad feeling about this - first the passing of Gen. Stormin' Norman, now on-going medical complications for CIC Bush 41. |
