Bush weeps while talking about Hurricane Katrina and dead soldiers

[DonViejo]

Former President George W. Bush openly wept while talking about some of the biggest disasters of his tenure at the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum on Thursday.

At the conclusion of his speech, Bush mentioned “the people of New Orleans who made homemade boats to rescue their neighbors during the floods” caused by Hurricane Katrina and “the servicemembers who laid down their lives to keep our country safe” during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

“I dedicate this library with an unshakable faith in the future of our country,” he said. “It was the honor of a lifetime to lead a country as brave and as noble as the United States.”

At that point, the 43rd president began to get choked up.

8. he only wept

talking about how honored he was to serve two terms as President. He wasn't crying for the pain his policies caused to other people, he was crying tears of "happiness" at receiving a huge honor, similar to the way that I would cry when I gave a speech accepting the Nobel Prize in economics. (which I expect to win any day now).
