WASHINGTON - Former US president George W. Bush shared a light moment with former First Lady Michelle Obama at the funeral for his father George H.W. Bush on Wednesday (Dec 5), appearing to slip her a piece of candy before the service began. The 43rd US president had also given Michelle Obama a mint during the memorial service in September for Arizona Senator John McCain. As the 72-year-old Bush arrived at the National Cathedral for the state funeral for his father - the 41st US president - he shook hands with President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania. Bush then shook hands with former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, causing her to smile when he passed her what appeared to be a piece of candy. Bush then continued down the row, shaking hands with former president Bill Clinton, former First Lady Hillary Clinton, former president Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn. Michelle Obama later explained the exchange at the McCain memorial during an interview on NBC's Today show. … [Read more...] about George W.

The 41st president will likely remain at Southern Maine Health Care, in the state of Maine, under observation for a few days, McGrath wrote.

Bush, who served as president from 2001 to 2009. The elder Bush was elected president in 1988 but served only one term, going … [Read more...] about Ex-president George H.W. Bush hospitalised again
