Saw last Sunday on CNN 41 on 41 was surprised to learn Bush and Pressman were friends.

Last Sunday CNN had a program 41 on 41 it was 41 people who knew President Bush(41 the elder) and there thoughts on the great man.To my surprise one 41 was Gabe Pressman,long time newsman for T.V in the New York Area.First I although thought Pressman was liberals,but a lot liberals seem to like President,for example not only President Clinton was on 41 but so was Obama was maybe that wasn't such a surprise,but Pressman is such New York guy,as he put his background was so diffrent then Bush's,Pressman was Jew from the Bronx,a working class rump,while Bush an Ivy League guy,father U.S Senator from the upper class.So what drew these opposites together? Well,it seems in nineteen seventies,when Bush was over ambassador to the U.N. A reporter write a piece for magazine the 10 most overrated New Yorkers and both Bush and Pressman made the list.So George Hebert Walker Bush invited the others to a party and that's how Pressman Bush struck a friendship.Years later when George H. W. Bush become Vice-President he sent Pressman note and ended by writing he was just lucky to made list,you(Pressman) earn it.
Got to love George H. W. Bush what a man,indeed,he is what America use to be great but didn't have to prove it!
