‘But you know, all presidents done something good. Well, most of them. Except that last one.’

[Walter] Breuning, a self-described Republican, meant President George W. Bush.

‘He got us into war. We can’t get out of war now,’ he said. ‘I voted for him. But that’s about all. His father was a pretty good president, not too bad. The kid had too much power. He got himself wrapped up and that’s it.’

…

‘I think every change that we’ve ever made, ever since I was a child — 100 years — every change has been good for the people,’ Breuning said. ‘My God, we used to have to write with pen and ink, you know, (for) everything. When the machines came, it just made life so much easier.’

…

Breuning talked current affairs with the other residents. One of his main causes was to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

‘War never cured anything. Look at the North and South right today. They’re still fighting over the damn war. They’ll never get over that,’ he said.
