Former Presidents George Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden shared a message for the American people ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary in July. Such a refreshing bit of news for the day. A few leaders speaking of the USA, without having to tear others down with petty personal attacks. Amazing. Who would've thought a day would come when such common decency and respect in a public setting would seem so surprisingly sweet and civil.

Former Presidents George Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden shared a message for the American people ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary in July.

Each of the four former U.S. presidents — Joe Biden, 83; Barack Obama, 64; Bill Clinton, 79; and George W. Bush, 79 — sat down with "TODAY" co-host Jenna Bush Hager and shared a message for the American people ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary in July.

Each of the presidents also shared what they would like to say to the American people ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary July 4:

“So I think my message is, don’t give up on America,” Clinton said. “We’re the longest-lasting, freely elected government in history. And a lot of people didn’t think we’d make it this long. I think it would be a good thing if we made it longer. So everybody should be thinking about that this year.”
...

“We are the most unique country in the world in the sense that we really do think democracy is dictated by the rules of the Constitution,” Biden said. “And we do believe that all men are created equal. Everyone’s entitled to a shot. That everybody has a shot. And I think as we do that, it grows instead of focusing on divisions. Because we’re not nearly as divided as we’re being portrayed.”
...

“If we hold true to that idea that we the people have been gifted this chance of self government ... if we pay attention to our responsibilities and our duties, and if we extend respect and thoughtfulness to our fellow citizens — even if we disagree with them — if we understand that part of this democratic project is to sort through our differences in peaceful, legal ways, then I’m confident that we’re going to have another 250-year run that’s going to be just as good,” Obama said.
...

“My message is: ‘Consider yourself fortunate to be a part of a great nation,’” Bush said. “Study our history so you have a better sense for what the future will be like. And be a citizen, not a spectator. And by that I mean participate in the process, but also love a neighbor like you’d like to be loved yourself.”

The former presidents shared a message for the American people ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary in July.

Bush Hager, the daughter of former President Bush, shared Monday in a "TODAY" exclusive that she spoke individually with each at a private event over the weekend in Philadelphia hosted by the History Channel. The event, named “History Talks,” traditionally features former presidents, and was done in partnership with Comcast, which owns NBCUniversal.

The "TODAY" co-host also asked each of the four presidents about what inspired them to run for the highest office in the nation — and what moments were most meaningful to them during their time in the Oval Office.

Excerpts of their conversations were shared on "TODAY" on Monday. The full interviews will appear exclusively on the show Tuesday.

And this post shows us a person who is an example of the problem.

whats her problem?....she doesnt agree with you?...are you going to put her on ignore like you do others who disagree with you and then say its because she is a racist?....

 

[Natural Citizen]

Well, then there's the current President. MAGA's guy...

He's openly encouraging and influencing Americans to gladly give up their rights as American citizens, predictably...




Thankfully there are still some left in congress who take their oaths to protect and defend the constitution seriously....





They placed their hand on the Bible and swore their oathes to protect and defend the constitution.

The current President, however, who tends to like to fashion himself as the second coming of Christ, ironically, refused to do so. So it should be expected that he'd be the one openly encouraging and influencing Americans to gladly give up their rights as American citizens. Again, predictably.


Sadly, the cult demographic will likely respond to the current President's specific encouragement to gladly give up their rights as American citizens in the usual predictable fashion in which they tend to do so with everything else he tells them to do...

The problem is, you listen to fluffy words that achieve feck all. Always have, always will.

Every one of those has torn down Trump in personal attacks.

 

[LeftofLeft]

It’s great to see people supporting and saying kind things about Bush. 20 years ago, Donald Trump was bashing Bush while writing checks to Democrats. Liberals were ready to hand Bush over to the Globalists for war crimes.

The ideas of those 5 people pictured, represent the reason why so many of the daytime talk show watchers are devoid of logic and common sense. Not one of them said anything meaningful.

 

[drudge X]

Four men ruined the country or sellout to China lecturing Americans what America is about.

 

[Godboy]

And this post shows us a person who is an example of the problem.

Agreed. Your post definitely does that.

How much do you honestly believe that Joe Biden participating in the writing of the words attributed to him?

Obama vs Trump

On February 2, 2009, just thirteen days into his presidency, Barack Obama finished a meeting in the Oval Office with Jim Douglas about the nation’s economic recovery efforts during one of the most fragile financial moments in modern American history. As photographers prepared to leave the room, Obama noticed something small but out of place: the sofas had been shifted to make room for the press setup and had not yet been returned.

Instead of stepping away and waiting for staff to handle it, he simply walked over, grabbed one end of a sofa, and casually suggested to Douglas that they move it back. For a moment, the governor reportedly hesitated, caught between the surreal reality of discussing national economic policy with the president and now suddenly helping him rearrange furniture. Then he picked up the other end.

White House photographer Pete Souza captured the moment, and the photograph quickly became one of the most widely shared images from the early Obama years. Nothing historic was unfolding in the traditional sense—no speeches, no signatures, no ceremonial grandeur. Yet the image resonated precisely because of its ordinariness. It showed a president operating with an instinctive lack of pretension, treating a practical task as simply something that needed doing.

The White House valets, whose responsibility it normally was to move the furniture, later joked that they cringed every time they saw the photograph because the president had unknowingly done part of their job for them. But alongside other candid moments Souza documented—family interactions, unscripted laughter, quiet pauses between major decisions—the image became part of a larger portrait of a presidency that often felt surprisingly human behind the formality of the building itself.

Obama moved the sofa. Douglas helped. Souza took the picture. And somehow that small, unplanned moment revealed as much about character as many speeches ever could.
