And, I remember how stunned, shocked, and totally befuddled the media was when Bush began visiting the wounded troops at Walter Reed, and other places.
Just the fact that he would not take the media with him, but chose instead to take only the WH photographer. And, he never announced he was coming to the public. Only the hospital knew (of course).
I loved those pictures that were posted on the thread, “A Day in the Life of President Bush”. That thread got started because the media would not post any pictures of Bush. Their hatred was so disgusting .. and it finally became a joke, “... it’s Bush’s fault”. That’s when they finally stopped saying it.
And who could forget when he went to Iraq in a super-secret surprise Thanksgiving visit. Shocked the heck out of all of us, but made a lot of us conservatives feel dang proud.
No, he wasn’t perfect, but he did some good.
(Could you imagine Clinton...either one...doing something like that?)
