“It’s why I voted for the man, and don’t regret it for a second. “
I don’t regret voting for Bush either time.
I do regret the obvious fact he lost focus as soon as he gave his second inaugural address. To me, he ‘coasted’ right up til the aftermath of the 06 mid term, then he seems to have ‘snapped out of it’ somewhat.
Thanks for sharing. I do not regret voting for W twice and still feel he is the best man for the Presidency right now.
I really do not understand the hatred directed at the President - I think he is a good man who has the best interest of this country at heart.
” . . . the United States has lucked out again and found the right man for the job.”
We are indeed lucky that we have the right man in the job; too bad the media and the lefties refuse to acknowledge it.
Amen. Great post.
He is nobody but W. This, for a conservative, is a Good Thing.
Conservative?
Who is this guy talking about?
Carter said nu-ku-lar (probably still does) and was a nuclear engineer in the Navy. No one had a problem with it during his tenure. Wonder why? /s
But!! But!!! Rosie said that GWB has never been to a soldier's funeral!!!!
/sarcasm
Then I thought of the incredibly fine man we have in the Oval. We are blessed by God's grace to have such a fine man willing to lead despite so much slander in these troubled times.
Great article, Smooth. I think Lewis did a really good job in explaining the essence od George W. Bush in a short piece.
I think I admire President Bush the most when the dems rant and rave about some issue and he finally says he will meet with them and listen to what they have to say. He then goes on to make a decision according to his priciples and what he believes to be best for the country, he doesn’t do what is politically expedient. He just blows their minds. LOL!
I'd vote for him again if he ran against Gore or Kerry, but I think the writer misses the point.
Reagan was unapologetically Reagan, but he wasn't "in your face" about it.
Bush is Bush. Nobody else but George W. Bush. But he pushes it, and forces it on people, in a way that Reagan didn't.
I don't know if it's conscious or not, but people pick up on it.

Not true at all. Harry Truman came up in the long and honored tradition of "stump speaking" in American politics. In that tradition, a candidate stood upon a stump or the back of a buckboard wagon and spoke without notes. Radio and television pretty much killed that off.
When Truman was forced to work from a printed speech, he was deadly boring. But when he improvised, he could be devastating.
In his 1948 "Give 'em Hell" tour, his first speech, given from the open end of a railroad business car, started off as a boring speech from a paper source. A few minutes into it, Truman realized he was dying on stage. He muttered, "Hell, I can't deliver this speech," tore it in two, and began to work the crowd in the old traditional stump speaking style. He electrified the crowd and spent the rest of the tour winging it at each stop.
I've seen films of Truman stump speaking on that tour, and he was magnificent.
AWESOME commentary . . . thank you for posting it!!
Beautiful...
America doesnt know how blessed we have been having him in place instead of Gore or Kerry
It is difficult to understand the rats’ and others’ irrational but deep seething hatred of President Bush but they’re just showing what they are.
I’ll differ with this article on one count.
W did lead us to believe that we were going to give the terrorist world a Texas ass whooping. What we got was politically correct warplanning and touchy feely rules of engagement.
But to be fair, he never said he wanted decent border control, so I guess you can’t blame him for that.
BTTT!
