For a man who was averse to adulation and attention. George Bush sure didn't want you to see what was on his feet. I like a colorful sock. I'm a sock man. The more colorful, the better. Though his preference leaned to red white and blue. Entrepreneur John Cronin of John's crazy socks took notice and sent the president a box of some of his favorites. Soon on World Down syndrome day the president wore these socks that John designed.
John's George Bush socks are sold out today. That he was often in a wheelchair the last several years all the better to show off the socks and if a fellow former president was stopping by for a visit. Clinton socks. When Sully the service dog came on board, he often co-starred on Instagram with the socks and was with the president when he went to vote a few weeks ago. And there was Sully dutifully at the president's side even after he passed. The president will be buried in these socks in homage to his service in World War Two.
