Excerpt:

Former President George H.W. Bush continues to improve and his “exchanges with doctors and nurses now include singing,” a family spokesman said Friday afternoon. “The president is alert, and as always, in good spirits,” Jim McGrath said. He added that while the 88-year-old former president still remains in the intensive care unit at Methodist Hospital in Houston, physicians are "cautiously optimistic that the current course of treatment will be effective. ” Bush has been hospitalized since Nov. 23. He was moved into intensive care on Sunday for treatment of a fever following a bronchitis-related cough. Jean Becker, Bush's chief of staff, earlier told family and friends in an email that the former president "would ask me to tell you to please put the harps back in the closet."  Bush is the oldest living U.S. president.

Key:

• Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
• The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
• The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
