Barack Obama was one of the last people to have met George HW Bush in Houston days before his death
George HW Bush, the 41st president, died at the age of 94 on Friday at his home in Houston. Bush's death comes after his wife of 73 years, Barbara Bush, passed away on April 17.
Following the death of George HW Bush, it has come to light that he happened to share quite an interesting relationship with former US president Barack Obama. The two may have had contrasting political opinions but their shared bond was truly unique.
Daily Mail reports that three days before Bush's death Obama met with him at his home in Houston. Obama then went on to conduct a statesman's discussion at a Rice University gala with Bush's former chief of staff and Secretary of State James Baker. During this discussion, Obama spoke highly about the former president's diplomacy.
