George W. Bush Praised Outside His Dallas Home

DALLAS (AP) _ Flag-waving supporters of former President George W. Bush have left flowers and patriotic balloons outside his Dallas home after the U.S. strike that killed Osama bin Laden.

Bush, who was home Sunday night, released a statement saying he congratulated President Barack Obama after hearing of bin Laden’s death and praised U.S. military personnel.

About a dozen backers of Bush, who was in power during the September 2001 terrorist attacks, gathered outside the gate leading to his residence until early Monday as thunderstorms reached the
area.

Some displayed U.S. flags. A sign said: “Thank you President Bush.”

Bush spokesman David Sherzer said Monday the ex-president does not plan any additional statement.
