Much like all the stories about the funeral said how no speakers mentioned the current POTUS it struck most people that if anyone speaks of civility and decency in politics ones mind automatically compares it to the current admin and how it seems to have neither of those things.

The current President is setting an example that people will use for a long time on how not to act.  Hopefully it sticks.

And hopefully we do not forget how decent people acted too.

I think it is much more B.

There is the man and the presidency. I absolutely don't see the 43 presidency in a better light. Until Trump gets us into an unnecessary war and/or irreparably breaks our alliances, 43 is still the worst foreign policy president since maybe Johnson.

Bush the man, though, has remained presidential, decent and dignified, since leaving office.  I do respect that. Also, though conned by neo cons, he ran a much tighter and professional WH than some current presidents I can think of.
