Warts and all, President Bush is so far ahead of Obama and other "liberals" that I ache for someone like President Bush, who loves America and those who defend her, to occupy the White House again.

[GlockThe Vote]

As a person bush never ever engaged in the crass thuggery like Obama does.

[The_Victor]

Regardless of how some might feel about his policies, and their lack of conservative principal, W is a good man.

[trailhkr1]

I have been hearing from quite a few people that would take Clinton back over obama.

[ncfool]

God Bless President Bush! What a Great man compared to what we currently have.

[Gaffer]

I will be forever grateful President Bush was in office during 9/11 and that he took steps to put a structure in place to deal with Global Terrorism. However, my gratitude stops there.

He was wrong about DHS and TSA. He was wrong to allow TSA to become unionized - he was wrong in the power he allowed them to gain.

He was WRONG in not answering his Democrat critics and allowing the sheep among us to be further polluted with Democrat Media Lies. He was wrong about compassionate conservatism and about believing there is honor and good in Democrats - that he could work with them to better this country - he was just plain wrong!

He concentrated on protection from Islamists from without, and he neglected the real danger from the Islamists, Democrats, Socialists, Communists and perverts from within. He was just plain wrong.

I had a lot of political issues with Bush but never doubted that he was a good man.

Just yesterday they were talking about him sitting in a meeting with severely wounded vets and he told them that he was personally responsible for decisions leading to their injuries and was not going to simply walk away from them.

When is the last time Obama took responsibility for anything?

[Michael Barnes]

Cool that you posted this.. I was thinking the exact same thing a few days ago. I wasn’t crazy about the “compassionate conservative” thing, but I DID feel safer and lots of my American brethren had jobs.

[C. Edmund Wright]

You have Bush. Obama is the natural result of Bush and Rove and their “new tone” and other idiotic things they did. Bush is no real conservative, and his insiders know it. He played us. Well, he played some of us. Some of us were nervous and nauseated from early 2001. We got a bit of a conservative right after 9-11, but that soon faded.

You shouldn’t miss Bush. You still have Bush, in a very real way. Enjoy. I would invite anyone who disagrees to peruse the following:

I have said this before and I will say it again:

1. I know people that know GWB well, and in one case gave LOTS of money to his campaigns. All of them have said he is an ENTIRELY different person to talk to one on one than he is when somebody sticks a microphone in front of him. The bumbling, ah, er, stuff that he did on camera, which unfortunately was nothing like him one on one, was used by the liberal to define and undermine his presidency.

2. As Governor of Texas, he governed by his own instincts. He started out as president governing by his own instincts. Somewhere during his first term, when re-election began to loom, he started to listen to “consultants” and “advisers” instead of following his own instincts. And that was the end of his effectiveness.

(Oh and by the way, even my great hero Reagan listened too much to advisers during his second term. That's why his second term did not live up to the greatness of his first term.)

[SnakeDoctor]

Heh. Bush? Obama makes me miss Clinton.

I subscribe to the President’s Facebook page (yes, I still refer to him as President Bush). There are some photos from that bike ride.

He continues to serve after almost 4 years out of office. Compare that to the current occupant if the White House. President Bush loves and respects our troops. The would-be dictator wants to destroy our military and create his own revolutionary guard.

[Revelation 911]

the guy who brought us the patriot act and tarp- puhleeze - I miss Reagan

[CatherineofAragon]

I’ve forgotten what it’s like to have a first couple I’m not sickeningly ashamed of. I don’t like Laura Bush’s abortion stance, and I got a bit tired of her frozen expression, but I’d take her in a minute over the gargantuan, third-worldish, rump-shaking Godzilla we have now.

[greene66]

I miss Reagan even more.

But mostly, I miss America.

[Outlaw Woman]

This is the period of time that I'm thankful to God for President Bush's leadership and direction.

Yes, President Bush made some major errors in office; mostly not fighting back against the vicious assaults made on him on a daily basis, particularly in his second term.

But President Bush did alot of things right as well. He refused to sign the "Small Arms Treaty" with the marxist U.N., he refused to sign the keyoto (sp) treaty, which is 'cap and trade' in its essence. He lowered taxes, and his most lasting legacy: the appointees to the SCOTUS.

When the other Bushs are mentioned; he will never come to mind. His own mother and father distanced themselves from "George" on a Larry King show. Essentially saying that "George" is more conservative and sees things differently than them.

Yes he made errors but he did alot right. Did anyone ever doubt his love of country; his love for the military?His determination in keeping us safe? Remember how it felt to be proud? To feel secure? Remember taking our economy and our own jobs and situations for granted? Remember hearing, in all the daily media noise, that unemployment was steady around 4.5%? Remember how we rebuilt after 9-11? Not only do I miss that but as someone else on this thread said, I miss America.

I remember after the 2000 election, the common mantra by (some) the media was that the adults are back in charge. Remember that disgrace called Clinton and his trash pried all the 'W' keys from keyboards (or was it GWB keys?).

A true class act and a true leader and yes, he is missed.

[bkopto]

I miss Bush

I miss his character. That said, I miss neither his policies nor his political instincts, in the least.

Bush bears much blame for the election of the current occupants of the the WH.

[mykroar]

Bush was fantastic following 9/11 and was quite humble throughout both terms. He went off the rails in his final 3 years, but it’s day and night (insert racist accusation here) comparing 0bama to Bush.

[Utah Girl]

Me too.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I miss that, too. Just not Dubya.

[what's up]

Thanks for your post.

President Bush was a giant in what could have been a very dark time in history.

He took on the challenge and led the world with dignity and class.

He was so far ahead that all his enemies (MSM) could do was snipe at his flanks and they used lies about the economy do do it.

They fooled many on the middle and the right, but I was never fooled for a minute by their tactics because I expected them all along.

President Bush will be noted as one of the greats in history and he can rest easy for the rest of his days because he served with honor. Have a great day.
