George H W Bush and wife hospitalized

George H.W. Bush and Wife, Barbara, Hospitalized as ‘Precaution’ for Separate Health Issues.

While George H.W. Bush remains in the intensive care unit of a Houston hospital after experiencing "shortness of breath," the former president's wife, Barbara, has also been admitted for a separate health issue, the couple's spokesman said Wednesday.

The former first lady was taken to Houston Methodist Hospital on Wednesday morning "as a precaution after experiencing fatigue and coughing," spokesman Jim McGrath said in a new statement following an update on her husband's condition.

Her husband, 92-year-old Bush, was first admitted to Houston Methodist Hospital Saturday for shortness of breath, but on Wednesday underwent a procedure to treat an acute respiratory problem stemming from pneumonia, McGrath said.

Hope they're both OK, LL, it's not good at their age....

Unlike some others a great deal younger, ex-President Bush still has immaculate manners-

Yes they do.  It is amazing how much adoration the etiquette-less O'Bummer gets from snowflakes.

I like this business of politicians speaking directly to the public, instead of the media putting feet and legs on everything.

So do I.  They realize this is the new way forward.
