George Bush Sr., the former President of the United States, was busy campaigning for his son Jeb Bush’s presidential candidature, when Jeb was organizing a fundraiser in Orlando.
During the fundraiser, a man in the crowd raised a strange question which led to an even more surprising response by the former president and CIA director. An activist/journalist asked Bush when the US government is going to reveal the truth about UFO’s to the Americans.
George Sr. responded by saying, “Americans can’t handle the truth”. The crowd and reporters were stunned into silence with this answer. They were taken completely by surprise. Everyone in the large crowd was clearly feeling uneasy with Bush’s answer. Organizers of the event even had to briefly halt the questioning.
Interestingly, this is not the first time George Bush Sr. has expressed a controversial opinion on the subject of UFOs.
During the 1988 presidential campaign, James Adder, journalist for the Arkansas Globe asked him about the existence of UFOs, to which Bush replied, “I know some. I know a fair amount”. The interview was cut short at this time. Then in another debate with Dukakis, he said, “I am very careful in public life about dealing with classified information”.
George Bush Sr. was the US Vice President at that time and had access to classified information.
Of all the Presidents that have been faced with the UFO problem, George Bush is probably the best qualified to have been given the secret. He spent a year as Director of Central Intelligence, the head of the entire United States Intelligence Community for President Ford. Then as DCI, he was in charge of giving intelligence briefings to Jimmy Carter during his transition to the Presidency in 1976.
