Obama, Bush surprised by McCain eulogy requests

ormer presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama were reportedly surprised when late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) asked them to deliver eulogies at his funeral earlier this year, CNN reports.

Bush and Obama both faced the late senator in brutal presidential races in the 2000 primary and 2008 general, respectively.

Their roles in McCain's upcoming funeral are considered a call for civility and bipartisanship in politics.

McCain called each former president this past spring and asked them to participate, according to CNN.

I don't think there'll be much civility so long as the Tourette's addled Twitter twit's in office.
