Thursday, April 25, on the Southern Methodist University campus in Dallas, 
Texas, four living presidents  Jimmy Carter, No. 39; George H.W. Bush, 
No. 41; Bill Clinton, No. 42, and Barack Obama, No. 44  
will honor one of their colleagues, George W. Bush, the 43rd president 
of the United States, at the dedication of his presidential library.So I 
take this occasion to remind my fellow liberal Democrats, many of whom 
continue to attack Bush in harsh and personal terms, of three things 
about him that I dont think they understand or appreciate.First, while there 
were many polices under Bush with which liberal Democrats (myself included) 
disagreed  such as tax cuts, the Iraq War and not paying 
for either (as well as the Afghan war) with current revenues rather 
than borrowed money  there must be a distinction between disagreement and 
personal attack.For example, many Democrats still use the lie word in describing 
Bushs rationale for the Iraq War  that Saddam Hussein had weapons 
of mass destruction. This turned out to be wrong.But Democrats in the 
Clinton administration also believed Saddam had WMDs, as did most experts 
in the U.S. intelligence community.Our politics have become so poisoned 
and our government so dysfunctional precisely because too many people  on 
both sides  cant make a distinction between lies and being sincerely 
wrong.Second, Bush is known for his brilliant slogan when he first ran 
in 2000, describing himself as a compassionat
All five living past and present U.S. presidents gathered in Dallas for 
the dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum Thursday, 
an event that saw the men share a rare bond that transcends 
partisan differences."There was a time in my life when I wasn't likely 
to be found at a library, much less found one," Bush quipped, 
before thanking his predecessors and successor for the "kind words" and 
the "examples you set."Bush thanked his mother Barbara Bush for teaching 
him to live life to the fullest, and his father, the 41st 
president, for "teaching me how to be a president ... and how 
to be a man."- President Obama on President Bush"Forty-one, it is awesome 
that you are here today," he said, drawing a smile from his 
88-year-old father, who has battled health problems in recent months.Earlier, 
President Obama noted that the exclusive group of current and former presidents 
is often viewed as a club, but he said it is "more 
of a support group.""No matter how much you think you're ready to 
assume the office of the president, its impossible to understand the nature 
of the job until its yours," Obama said. "The first thing I 
found in that desk was a letter from George. He knew that 
I would come to learn what he had learned. That being president 
is a humbling job."We know President Bush the man," Obama said. "To 
know the man is to like the man. Because hes comfortable in 
his own skin. He knows who he is. He doesnt put on
