This is my favorite.
Well, 6 months later, many are regretting that mistake in judgment. If they'd had the facts about just who brought on the mortgage crisis, they might have thought twice, but the MSM never revealed that; still hasn't, to this day.
I've got a feeling that it means a lot more coming from guys like Ken Russell than he will ever know considering the love and respect President Bush has demonstrated for them through the years.
Adding my love and appreciation for President Bush and all that he did to keep us safe. God bless him and his family. God bless our military people and their families. May God continue to bless America
President Bush didn't cause the economy to tank, and that's a big part of why Obama won. McCain was ahead in September.
Blaming President Bush for the election outcome is baseless.
Indeed. His words were powerful and displayed leadership and a determined perseverence that the country needed then and still does today.
I'll never understand those who branded him a bumbler who couldn't put two words together in a sentence.
All I can figure is those folks prefer the oratorical skills of such greats as Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Barney Frank, or the canned gibberish of pompous performers such as Barack Obama, John Kerry, and Al Gore.
What is the source for your fantastic assertions, the DNC?
"War has been waged against us by stealth and deceit and murder. This nation is peaceful, but fierce when stirred to anger. This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others. It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing. George W. Bush, 9/20/01
I always thought the overall strategy on the war on terror was not Iraq directly but the overall goal was to totally isolate Iran, and it was accomplished in the beginning with our initial success in Iraq, and Afghanistan and the partnerships that the bush administration established in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. Iran was for a short time isolated. Only when the frickin Dems showed weakness did Iran start a full court press. I think the Bush administration saw an opportunity for unrest in Iran. Maybe I’m wrong but I think that what recently happened in Iran is what the Bush administration saw as an opportunity 3-4 years ago and we would have been in a strong position to rally the opposition in Iran.
It wouldn't surprise me at all. It's obvious to me that his respect for those who serve in uniform is real and heartfelt. It's in his nature to continue to thank as many as he can.
Thanks for reposting the complete quote from STARWISE' post.
It was all a media game from the campaign of 2000. They kept track of every verbal fluff out of millions of words and kept replaying them over and over again.
They didn't note that algor had far more verbal gaffes than Bush because they were presenting him as the "intelligent" one. (Is that a joke, or what?)
I've heard President Bush speak in four different venues and every time he was articulate and impassioned, and even eloquent.
(Can you imagine if all the enormous goofs of Obama's plus all the ahhhh's and ummmmmm's were published together? He'd come across as a moron).
Oh wait..............he IS a moron!
& the worst is still to come; check BC threads here on freep and you’ll note that there’s initial evidence pointing to chosen1 having paid almost a million to various law firms. Plus there’s the money push that key dhimmicrat races during this last election got from chosen1 floating them bucks from his huge stash - some of these pushed dhimmis over the hump as it were, contributing to their majorities. Think Pennsylvania & Ohio, for starters.
The one that concerns me the most: chosen1 setting up the stimulus to kick in right around successive election cycles in 2010 & 2012. Reminds me of how the local govs would get the streets paved during the months before a general election; always had a beneficial effect for the party in power.
GOP has an uphill battle, imo...

President's Remarks at National Day of Prayer and Remembrance
I thought that speech was the Friday after 9/11, but when I saw the 20th, I doubted my memory.
Did he address Congress the 20th?
(I suppose I could look these things up myself, but you're so good at it! :)
No kidding. It's never been rougher, IMO. Our best hope is that Obama continues to reveal his complete incompetence to deal with issues foreign and domestic. His poll numbers are sinking, leading me to believe that chinks in his armor are forming.
What we need now is some strong leadership in the GOP. I hope it's there...........somewhere!
Thanks! Much appreciated.
Yes, the address to Congress was on the 20th.
Good to know my mind still works...........some of the time! :)
WOW! Thanks for the pictures.... especially that first one. I hadn’t seen that one before. How I miss President Bush. I don’t even use the word “President” any more. I feel as though I don’t have one. It’s all so depressing.
