In recent days, there have been a host of articles, recollections, retrospectives and commentary tendered on the Presidency of George W. Bush.
As expected, with the grace of a five-year old's temper tantrum, many of the Bush missives have been mercilessly scathing and unforgiving. Some have been fair, but most have been written by spoiled-brat feet-stampers who cannot stop sticking pins in their "W" dolls long enough to string two coherent thoughts togther. Admittedly, there is enough to criticize President Bush for from a conservative perspective, but it's difficult to take any analysis of his eight years in office seriously that relentlessly punishes him for keeping the United States free from terrorism for seven years.
Rather than compose a piece trying to summarize the Bush Presidency, as many more have done far better than I could ever hope to, I decided to post a modest little video, just over a minute long, that I consider one of the shining moments of his Presidency - a powerful, moving and unforgettable moment from his time as Commander-In-Chief.
