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

When he left the White House in January 2009 after two tumultuous
terms, President George W. Bush -- the only man to attain the
presidency by virtue of a Supreme Court ruling and only the second
son of a president to also serve as president -- was nursing
an approval rating around 30 percent.Four years later, however, public opinion
has turned slowly but steadily in the former presidents direction. A nationwide
Fox News poll conducted earlier this week now finds registered voters evenly
split in their assessments of the 43rd president -- a verdict roughly
equal to the esteem in which they hold his successor, President Obama.As
Bush prepares to attend the dedication of his presidential library in Dallas,
Texas, on Thursday, his increasing approval generally mirrors the trend
for other former presidents, but Bush's turnaround is remarkable, given
how low the numbers were when he left office. At his lowest,
amid the dark days of the financial collapse in October 2008, only
23 percent rated Bush positively.Throughout President Obamas first term
-- when the incumbent relentlessly blamed his predecessor for the state
of the economy and a host of national security problems -- Bush,
aside from promoting his 2010 memoir and giving a small number of
paid speeches, mostly remained silent. This was in keeping with the practice
of his father, George H.W. Bush, of never criticizing his successor, and
it may partially explain the rise in esteem for th
