Perhaps that's why.
Look at it this way. It's not really Bush that they hate. It's anything that is honorable and good that they hate. Since his character is the polar opposite of theirs, they curse him.

One picture.... saying more than all the words in an app. 950 page book.
Mr. President, policy disagreements aside, your Christian beliefs, character, compassion.... you now have my total vote of confidence.
That picture truly helped restore a tired, tattered soul. Thanks.
Thanks!

Your post was the most sincere and heartening one I think I've ever read here... thank you for that.
Genuine.
No
read that multi-chaptered book about the greatest man who ever walked the earth...each time he healed, the "elites" plotted how to kill him...
...not much has changed in 2000 years...
How could I forget?

President Bush does this sort of thing spontaneaously, instead of setting up these things as photo ops. Of course, this photo will never be seen on the alphabet networks.
Best Regards.
What's interesting to me is that picture almost doesn't look like GWB. I think due to how close the lens is when the picture is snapped, there is some "fisheye" distortion. But additionally he is transformed by his grief and has completely stepped out of his public personae. I think this is one reason the photo is so powerful. We know we are seeing him as he really is by how different he looks from the staged photo-ops.
PLEASE, bump to the top!
Tears!
I love this man!
People hated and plotted against Christ EVEN AFTER they personally saw him raise someone from the dead. I believe there are some people so consumed with hatred that they are too far gone for rational thinking, or human decency for that matter.
Call the president's comment line, tell him how much you apppreciate him: 202-456-2461
He surely needs it right now! Also, lots of prayer needs to go up for him while he's in Turkey, I'm really worried for his safety!
Definite BUMP for later! I remember when this first happened, and I am as heartened now as I was then.
When President Bush is re-elected, I am planning the "roadie" of my lifetime--a trip to D.C. in January, to see it in person. Any Freeper suggestions about lodging and Freeper meeting places? Wasn't there some kind of "Freepers Inaugural Ball" in 2001?
Please "ping" me with details, if known.
