I considered it an honor to meet an American President and his party affiliation did not matter.

Great story about an absolutely wonderful man.
Having spent most of my adult life actually working in politics (Republican), I recall fondly when in DC never being asked and NEVER heard people simply generally classify other Americans by their party affiliation.
The Bush family were/are simply great, and I feel for the verbal abuse they had to withstand.
