Happening now. 20th century one BTW (so the one that served 1 term, not 2, and before Clinton, H.W. Bush).

Finding a link, just got the notification...

Edit: Found one.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/23/politics/bush-41-hospital/

Some links say he stopped breathing, others say shortness of breath, and others say as a precaution, so it is not clear yet 100 percent.

Edit 2:

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/former-president-george-h-w-bush-taken-houston-hospital-n274131

NBC reports it is officially as a precaution due to "shortness of breath".

 

[Scum]

:-(

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Oooooh come on :/ He was a cool guy.

 

[heliosRAzi]

Might want to clarify that it's H. W. Bush, and not Dubya

 

[Dishwalla]

He really should stay away from those pretzels.

 

[xxracerxx]

Crazy

 

[Aiustis]

It's HW Bush. He's old as dirt anyway.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Well, it's only a matter of time.

Hope the guy pulls through.

(CNN) -- Former President George H. W. Bush has been taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure after experiencing shortness of breath, according to a statement from his office.

 

[Gattsu25]

Not breathing? Fuck.

I really hope he pulls through

Edit: Seems to be shortness of breath which is still a grave concern.

 

[HUELEN10]

I said 20th century one in the OP.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Lack of Breathing sure sounds more serious than Shortness of Breath.

[JNA]

Oooooh come on :/ He was a cool guy.

Let's vote for Jeb Bush 2016 in his honor!

Oh it's H.W. Bush. How old is he?

 

[Rivitur]

Shortness of breath and it was only precautionary.

 

[heliosRAzi]

I said 20th century one in the OP.

That's a really roundabout way to clarify which one.

 

[Wyndstryker]

He's 90, so at this rate people should be prepared for anything.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/former-president-george-h-w-bush-taken-houston-hospital-n274131

He did a skydive for his 90th birthday? Dude is a badass.

Hope he's okay.

 

[Rich!]

I said 20th century one in the OP.

'old bush, not dubya' would be easier to catch

 

[terrisus]

He's 90, so at this rate people should be prepared for anything.

Anything?

Like, another run at the White House?

 

[pxleyes]

Hoping for the best.

 

[Coreda]

Former President George H.W. Bush was taken by ambulance to the Methodist Hospital in Houston after experiencing a shortness of breath earlier Tuesday evening, according to a statement from his office.

The former president, who's 90, will be held for observation.

Link. Seems the official statement is shortness of breath. Who knows.

 

[malyce]

He'll be fine. If TMZ had reported it first there'd be cause or concern.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Lack of Breathing sure sounds more serious than Shortness of Breath.

That's a really roundabout way to clarify which one.

Yeah OP could've take a moment to clarify the title a bit.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Anything?

Like, another run at the White House?

Yeah, why not.

 

[HUELEN10]

I hope he stabilizes and we get more details soon. Who was the last president to die? Wasn't it Regan?

Yeah OP could've take a moment to clarify the title a bit.

Notification I got said that (I have pebble notifications on my wrist). Only the NBC link seems to have an official statement attached to it, which is why I linked it after someone posted it.

 

[cruets]

He had a good run. Clinton kicked his butt

 

[Zantetsuken]

Hoping for a speedy recovery.

 

[Ravek]

Might want to just post a pic OP of the former president.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

I hope he stabilizes and we get more details soon. Who was the last president to die? Wasn't it Regan?

Ford in 2007.

 

[speculawyer]

He should have ate his broccoli.

HW will pull through . . . he's tough. He was recently skydiving. Pilot in WW2. The much better Bush president.

Look at this stud:

 

[kirblar]

Anything?

Like, another run at the White House?

Would be vastly preferable to his kids.

 

[Tesseract]

hang tough, george

 

[ZackieChan]

Isn't he generally referred to as either George H.W. Bush or "Bush 41"?

Also, dat shortness of breath...

 

[HUELEN10]

Thanks for the tile update mods!

He is fairly old though...

 

[m_shortpants]

The superior Bush president. Hope he makes it fine, but he is quite old. Lived a pretty successful life I'd say.

 

[Jarrod38]

Always enjoy his socks.

 

[WickedCobra03]

I feel like being that old and having shortness of breath with some of his past medical issues in the recent years is kind of worrisome. Hopefully everything is okay!

 

[Wyndstryker]

Anything?

If they somehow turn him into an android, then yes, another white house run may be possible.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Saw him at a baseball game earlier this year when he sat 10 rows in front of me. Get well soon prez

 

[terrisus]

[Big Green Anus]

I hope he is okay

 

[Strike]

Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

 

[Henchmen21]

What? Am I in bizarro world? Are those wishing him well even alive when he was prez? This man was most likely the one behind Iran-Contra (we'll never know for sure since his stooge Olly North shredded documents). His presidency was behind a recession that we didn't recoup from till into Clinton's second term. Frankly, that whole family is evil incarnate. Prescott Bush, HW's father, was notoriously a war profiteer and nazi sympathizer.

 

[Damaniel]

Not too surprising considering his age. Hopefully he'll be alright.

Yeah, the guy wasn't the greatest president ever (though certainly better than his son), but I can set that aside and wish the man well. It's not like we're talking about Dick Cheney here.

 

[OricWindstar]

My dad spent a weekend with him and said he was one of the most charming guys he'd met. Nothing but warm and welcoming.

Hopefully he pulls through this, but at his age it could go either way.

Wishing him ill would make us no worse than he.

 

[Snake]

Hope he pulls through.

 

[Ace Harding]

Damn. Hope he's ok. I can't believe Aytch Dubya is 90 years old. He is actually a pretty cool guy. Much more so than Dubya. One of the more liberal Republicans of the last few decades. Also just (apparently) an incredibly nice person.

Yes I was alive when Reagan was President so I have some perspective. The man is potentially dying. Even if you think his politics are awful why would you wish anything but the best?

Unless it's someone like Osama Bin Laden or Hitler why would you wish ill health on anyone?
