It's almost hard to believe but Wednesday, January 20 marks exactly one year since President Bush left the White House.
During his last public ceremony as commander in chief, he was booed by thousands of Americans who simutaneously cheered for Barack Obama as he was sworn into office on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.
Except for a June 17 speech in Erie, Pennsylvania in which Bush defended his policies and criticized Obama’s, the former president has been remarkably silent about his successor. He has not fired back at Obama despite the new administration inappropriately blaming Bush for all of their failures.
One year after taking office however, Obama has done a total reversal on his isolationist, non-interventionist foreign policy, and is now pushing President Bush’s neo-conservative philosophy as a justification for starting a new war in Afghanistan. What the Democratic Party once criticized as an over-simplified good vs. evil argument has become the cornerstone of Obama’s reasoning.

Damn straight! It will take time but in the long run Bush will be vindicated.
AN HONEST LIB?
Finally someone is talking sense...
Americans full of self doubt about being Americans and were thus swayed into making what is probably the worst decision it has ever made. Hopefully consciousness will be restored!
The bloom is off the rose, honeymoon is over. They went to bed at two with a ten and woke up at ten with a Zero..................
“During his last public ceremony as commander in chief, he was booed by thousands of Americans who simutaneously cheered for Barack Obama as he was sworn into office...”
Breeding tells and so does the lack of it.
After yesterday’s election results, the vindication has already started...
STUNNING EPIPHANY by a Kerry flunky - who has seen the light of truth.
***It should be obvious now, even to Obama’s most passionate supporters that shielding the free world requires more than mere words like “hope” and “change.” Bush’s detractors should be embarrassed having arrogantly thought they could do it better, and those Republicans who abandoned Bush when he needed them most should take a moment to reflect on their fortitude or lack thereof.
Americans who chastised President Bush for removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq should apologize and show him the same respect they are now showing President Obama as he neutralizes the Taliban in Afghanistan.
George W. Bush seemed to have an almost mystical understanding of what the American people needed when we needed it most. He reminded all of us of why we should be proud to be Americans at a time when there was a whisper that we brought the Sept. 11 attacks upon ourselves for promoting democracy abroad.
President Bush deserves our respect, not our betrayal.****

Just. Wow.
bump
Read the whole article. WOW!!! At the very end, there is a blurb about this guy and how he was an attorney for Kerry in the 04 race. It goes on to say that he has set up a foundation called “honor freedom” to “set the record straight” about the Bush years and his foreign policy. wonder if this guy has had a spiritual awakening. Seriously. The scales sure have been removed from his eyes!!
Yes, he will.
Bush bashing was always more about the hip and cool kids ripping the squares than any actual substance. Hip and cool will always be temporary, but substance is substance. Bush will eventually be remembered well, especially in contrast to the incredibly horrible Obama.
Some people escaped Jonestown too....even though they went there willingly...when faced with the reality...they wised up...
Oh yeah...this is going to get posted quite a few places....
Oh and the notion that Obama is “serious” about fighting the taliban?...it’s just a notion...
Although he gives Bush the props he is due...he still thinks Oduma means what he says...
This is absolutley unbelievable. Hope you are sitting down to read it.
This guy won’t get anymore invites to DC cocktail parties with this one.
He will, from this point forward, be called a “Neo-Con” which is liberal for “sellout Jew”.
I wonder what exactly brought this sentiment to a head? Perhaps one of his family is now serving in the military and “explained things” to him.
Bush did not blame Clinton for anything from day 1
AMEN!!!!
what I didn't like about Dubya the leftists and dims loved...way over spending and increasing govt....
but to see that gray haired handsome man with that grin is reassuring...at least he was a MAN and a LEADER....
“Bush did not blame Clinton for anything from day 1”
Could be that was the reason. Bush didn’t blame anybody because he WANTED the job and is a man.
Odumbo wanted the job and is a whinny little baby.
