esident bush. weij tha you. bob schieffer covered president bush's runs for president and remembers him as one of the most experienced men to pursue the white house. >> reporter: as a navy pilot, he was shot down in combat during world war ii, founded a successful business, head six kids, was a congressman, ambassador to the u.n., head of the cia and our first envoy to china. in 1980, he was ready to go for the big prize, the presidency. he got off to a great start. he won the iowa caucuses. i interviewed him the morning after and, frankly, i couldn't figure out what he was talking about. >> we will have forward big mo on our side as they say in athletics. >> big mo? >> yeah. mo, momomentum. >> reporter: for bush, ronald reagan reorganized his campaign and bush's big mo became little mo. as reagan won the nomination.

in a move that surprised everyone, he chose bush as his running mate. bush ran for president when ronald reagan left office, but his campaign got off to a terrible start. george bush was a nice man, the kind who wrote thank you notes but some mistook niceness for weakness. the question, are you tough enough, was asked repeatedly. >> i equate toughness with moral fiber, with character, with principle, with demonstrated leadership in tough jobs where you emerge not bullying somebody, but with the respect of the people you led. that's toughness. that's fiber. that's character. i've got it. and if i happen to be decent in the process, that should not be a liability. >> reporter: the one-time fighter pilot found himself accused of being a wimp. to change his image in new hampshire, he traded the coat and tie for a tractor hat and windbreaker and drove every piece of heavy machinery hehe tn

bid. in time, he would see sons george and jeb elected to governorships and george as our 43rd president. do you think you would have been president had it not been for him? >> well, i wouldn't have been born had it not been for him. >> there's that humor. bob schieffer is here now with susan page, washington bureau chief for "usa today" and author of "the matriarch -- barbara bush and the making of an american dynasty." bob, i want to talk about president bush's role in the fall of communism. you talk about it in that piece. reagan got the raise for saying, mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall, but mr. bush played a huge role. >> it all actually happened on george bush's watch. and people were saying, you know, you should get out there and talk about how we whooped the communists and all that kind of stuff. and he said, no. we need to -- this is when the berlin wall fell, he said this is a moment for germany. he said this is not a place

where i should be right now.ane that, to keep the damper down and keep this situation calm, we were able to deal with gorbachev after that. you don't want to forget that great britain and france were not all that keen about reuniting germany. but his hand slowly and carefully made it possible for that to happen. and it had to happen. >> the moral fiber, susan, that everyone has talked about clearly affected his friendships, but also his policy. not just foreign but domestic. >> the attitude he brought to dealing with people, with reporters and with the waiters and sports stars, all the handwritten notes people have talked about in the last few days. that's the same attitude he took to dealing with foreign leaders. one of the things he told his aides is he didn't want his first call to a foreign leader be one where it's a crisis where he needed to ask for something. he wanted to have a relationship

with that person which is one reason he had a practice of making calls to foreign leaders just to say, how are you doing? how can i help? he had the other guy in mind. he wanted the other guy to feel like he or she could win in a way that also let the united states benefit. >> remarkable that somebody has a book of thank you notes, right? instead of writing an actual book about themselves. we talked about it last night. that was just the modesty. >> it's hard not to go in a house near washington, especially if they are republicans, where you don't find a framed thank you note from george bush. he really did this. and he had many, many friends. more friends, i think, than probably anybody that's held the office in modern times. >> what a wonderful legacy. bob schieff esusan page, thank you. hopefully we'll be seeing more of you in the coming days. we'll have more on president bush later in the broadcast here. but up next, hundreds are hurt in paris after the worst rioting in paris in half a century.

the couple down on social media and are shipping them that ring back. case closed.

we end tonight with a moment. the 41st and 43rd president, father and son,a' darkest hours. norah o'donnell has the story for "60 minutes." >> reporter: the love of the father was never more important to the son than in the days after september 11th, 2001. >> on tuesday, our country was attacked with deliberate and massive cruelty. >> 9/11. >> yeah. >> you speaking at the national cathedral and your parents there. >> yeah. that was a hard speech to give, for starters. the country was very emotional. the national cathedral was full. >> to the children and parents and spouses and families and friends of the lost, we offer

the deepest sympathy of the nation. and i knew not to look down there to see laura and mother and dad. the emotions were unbelievably high. man, i better focus on this baby. nothing worse than a blubbering president. and so i got through the speech. and i got -- sat down in the pew there. and i felt his hand. it was my dad. it was very comforting. it was just a beautiful gesture. and it was captured on film. so i'm able to kind of reminisce about that moment. and the emotions of it are still with me. >> that is the overnight news for this monday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back later for the morning news and "cbs this morning." from our nation's capital, i'm jeff glor. ♪

offices will be closed. cbs news contributor bob schieffer looks back on mr. bush's remarkable life of service. >> i think it's fair to say that george herbert walker bush did nearly everything you can do in life and in politics in his 94 years. as a navy pilot, he was shot down in combat during world war ii. he founded a successful business, had six kids. was a congressman, ambassador to the u.n., head of the cia and our first envoy to china. in 1980, he was ready to go for the big prize, the presidency. he got off to a great start. he won the iowa caucuses. i interviewed him the morning after and, frankly, i couldn't figure out what he was talking about. >> we will have forward big mo on our side, as they say in athletics. >> big mo? >> yeah. mo-momentum. >> reporter: unfortunately for

bush, ronald reagan reorganized his campaign and bush's big mo became little mo. as reagan won the nomination. in a move that surprised everyone, he chose bush as his running mate. bush became the ideal vice president for eight years doing what vice presidents do. like a minor character in a play, passing across the stage on errands that had little to do with the plot. he ran for president when reagan left office, but his campaign got off to a terrible start. george bush was a nice man. modest, kind. a man who actually wrote thank you notes. the problem is some mistook niceness for weakness. the question, are you tough enough, was asked repeatedly. >> i equate toughness with moral fiber, with character, with principle, with demonstrated leadership in tough jobs where you emerge, not bullying somebody, but with the respect of the people you led.

that's toughness. that's fiber. that's character g and if i happen to be decent in the process, that should not be a liability. >> reporter: the o depicted on the cover of "newsweek" magazine as a wimp. to change his image in new hampshire, he traded the coat and tie for a tractor hat and a windbreaker and drove every piece of heavy machinery he could find. it worked. he won the republican nomination and made two promises. first -- >> read my lips, no new taxes. >> reporter: and second, an administration based on american values. >> i want a kinder and gentler nation. >> so help me god. >> so help me god. >> congratulations. >> reporter: bush beat michael dukakis in a landslide, but by that time, the world beyond our shores was changing.

becausof h temperament and long experience in policy, bush kept belligerency and boasting down, and the situation cooled. in 1990, when saddam hussein invaded kuwait, bush put together a remarkable multination coalition that drove him back to his own borders. bush the popularity went through the roof and his re-election was a foreign gone conclusion. but as the nation's deficit ballooned, he bit the bullet and raised taxes. the move worked, and the economy verforgave him for breaking cans his no new taxes promise, and he lost the '92 election in a three-way race with ross perot and bill clinton. in time, he saw sons george and jeb elected to governorships and george as our 43rd president. george h.w. bush was perhaps the

most modest man ever to hold the presidency. his proudest legacy he always said was that his kids still came home to see him. and his greatest achievement was marrying barbara who died earlier this year after 73 years of marriage. here with his own view of our 41st president, veteran journalist and author evan thomas. >> george bush's mother taught him not to brag. don't use the great i am, she said. he learned the lesson almost too well. politicians are supposed to boast. that's how they get elected. but bush came across on the stump as kind of uncomfortable with himself. at the same time, he could seem too eager to please. his mother told him, you shoulde bush was so determined to share that his nickname as a boy was have half. when he was ronald reagan's vice president, he seemed to be so willing to accommodate the more

conservative president that he came across, to some, as a kind of a yes man. i was the washington bureau chief at "newsweek" at the time and we did a cover story on bush called "fighting the wimp factor." we made him look manly on the cover and talked about his wartime bravery. but by using the word, the overall impression was that maybe bush was sort of a wimp. boy, were we wrong. as president, bush showed a quiet kind of courage. to do the right thing. even if it cost him politically. running for president in 1988, he had promised no new taxes. but when it became clear that the only way to cut the out-of-control federal deficit was to raise taxes, he did it. that took guts. it probably cost him re-election in 1992. at the same time, at the end of the cold war, he put out the word, no gloating, no boasting. the berlin wall had come down,

the soviet union was collapsing but bush had the great mind to know. he was ambitious, yes, he was, and could be politically humble. bush believed, really believed, in country first. he was the last of his kind. how much we miss him today. >> and now george h.w. bush in his own words. >> i wonder after being in public service for 25 years, and being as involved as you were nationally and internationally, how you decompress when you suddenly found yourself out of office. >> hurt probably and, what did i do wrong? how could i not get clear to get through to the american people better and all this stuff. so there was a period of that, but there wasn't any period of self-pity or thinking you

weren't on the other side of it grand lifestyle. and so we just went back to work and started answering mail and doing all the things -- some of the things you had to do when you were president but no decision making. go from one day making decisionhaomngas wrong and the next day nothing. nobody gave a damn about what i thought, cared, and that was the way it ought to be. >> what was the biggest mistake you made? >> when i said we're not get anything more taxes and then in a great compromise that for the first time put real controls on government spending, compromised and raised taxes, that hurt me on the right, and it was fodder for the left and the clinton campaign to go after me with, you can't trust this guy. his word is no good, even though most people know that compromise is sometimes necessary. but my rhetoric was so defined. read my lips, no taxes, that i

paid one hell of a price. >> i think character matters. a lot. i think you have to have a moral compass. doesn't mean you have to have a pristine personal life. i never liked all these intrusions and stuff, but patriotic values. sense of

your face as a digital i.d. >> reporter: republican senator mike lee and democrat ed markey have called on customs and border protection to stop expanding this biometric program, partially mandated by congress until the agency implements privacy regulations and provides a report to congress on the viability of biometrics. >> if the rules haven't been made and there's not a regulation for you to follow, we're just kind of having to take your word for it. >> well, u.s. citizens can opt out of having the airline collect their photograph and transmit to cbp. >> reporter: john wagner is the architect of the system. how well does the system work? >> we're seeing 98% to 99% match rates. >> reporter: as flight 185 to shanghai boarded, we watched most passengers opt to use the facial recognition system to board the plane. >> do you have any concerns about who is keeping the picture of your face? >> i'm not worried about it. this is the world we live in. tsa already has it. what's the sghnchs. >> reporter: they've been

sometimes a simple cartoon can say it all. george h.w. bush re uniting in heaven with his wife barbara and their young daughter robin. it would be a fitting end to a love story that began in 1941 when two teenagers met at a christmas dance. jim axelrod takes it from there. >> reporter: the young navy pilot married the 19-year-old love of his life while home on leave from world war ii. i married the first man i ever kissed, barbara bush used to say. when i tell this to my children, they just about throw up. and while they did their best to

keep pace with modern life over the next 73 years, this couple remained an old-fashioned love story. the two exchanged love letters throughout their relationship, including one george sent in 1943 while serving in world war ii. they shared it on the oprah winfrey show. >> i love you, precious, with all my heart. >> reporter: they were married longer than any other couple in presidential history. >> you make me feel wonderful, but then i always feel wonderful when i get to talk about the strongest, the most decent, the most caring, the wisest, yes, and the healthiest man i know. >> reporter: their six kids produced the widest range of parental emotions imaginable. watching one son become president. another the governor of florida. and burying a daughter, robin, who died of leukemia at the age

of 3. through it all, papi and bar as they called each other, celebrated and endured together. >> the way i describe it is they could be at a dinner table, and they can look at each other and they're talking to one another without saying a word. that's what happens when you're -- >> when you're in love. >> in love and together for that long. >> reporter: george and barbara bush were married for 73 years. he lasted just 227 days more without her. as everyone who knew them always said. there wouldn't be much point hanging around once they could no longer hold hands. jim axelrod, cbs news, new york. and that's the "overnight news" for this monday. for some of you, the news continues. for others, check back with us a little later for the morning news and cbs this morning. from the broadcast center in new york city, i'm elaine quijano.
