President Obama said he called the Bush family Wednesday to send prayers for the recovery of former President George H.W. Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush, both hospitalized in Houston.

“They have not only dedicated their lives to this country, they have been a constant source of friendship and support and good counsel,” Mr. Obama told reporters. “They are as fine a couple as we know. We want to send our prayers and our love to them.”
