Absolutely correct. President Bush had led our military and intelligence and other agencies which have kept this country from being attacked since 911 2001 - as most Americans, me included, expected to happen after that ghastly day.
But then we saw President Bush’s reaction - calm, measured, emotional when needed, but most of all - DETERMINED.
He has kept that course, undeterred by the most horrendous anti-Bush syndrome which is a single monotone hate speech diatribe put out hour by hour on NPR, CNN, MSNBC, Cspan (mostly), etc ad nauseum.
Just for THAT, President Bush should be remembered as a GREAT PRESIDENT.
He also restored personal honor and dignity to a White House which had been totally trashed and debauched under the Clintonista regime.
With his wife Laura and wonderful family, he restored “normalcy” of a love between husband, wife, children parents as the “role model” family as our first family - for that - for eight years of seeing that love between the President and his wife and his children - non self serving love - he has greatly blessed this nation - and the world.
The President has kept his pro-life approach in every issue that mattered on that front in the cultural war to destroy our nation. He has withstood withering attacks about opening up the federal pocketbook to support embryonic stem cell research - enduring the most vile accusations and detrimental statements for that stand. His Supreme Court appointees will continue to rule from a Constitutional basis rather than an activist basis - esp in issues that restore the dignity and protection of unborn children in this country. Of course there is still Justice Stevens and the prospect of an Obaminational appointment of an ultra liberal Sup Ct Justice should we elect B.O.
Just for that stance, America and the world and all who love LIFE and FREEDOM - should give this President the highest marks possible.
The President loves our men and women in the military and they love and respect him as their commander in chief - something that could not be said either about the person preceding Pres Bush or the joker who may be elected to succeed him.
The economy has stagnated in many ways - but the unemployment rate and the inflation rate have stayed relatively low as have the interest rates. But it’s the soaring price of gas - brought on by the refusal of the loony leftists down through the decades that have prevented drilling for and refining oil.
He has not vetoed enough spending bills by Congress, but I understand that to do so, would mean he would have to veto virtually every bill coming down the pipe....which would suit me just fine but would make the press go even more bonkers with bds.
In Europe, we have more conservative leaders in Germay, France, and over here in Canada.
The only reason the Europeans hate him is because their own controlled media and our leftist msm, speaking for the DNC, have convinved them our President is a lightweight intellectually who has problems speaking publicly. Yet he continues to be proactive with them all on a variety of issues that matter to this country.
Then there is Israel, the Palestinians, and Russia - some very huge foreign policy problems and ones which I have disagreed about their direction. But we are still talking with both - isn’t that what the Dems continue to demand of us?
There are other issues of course - immigration being the biggest one.
But overall - I will BET a TON that in a few years - esp if Obama and the Dems take full power - this country and the world will see such damage take place that millions will be yearning for the “good old days” when George W Bush was President...and I already know I will be one of them.
Totally right !! Bush will be know in the futur as one of the BEST president ever !!
Wonderful post!

I will be joining those millions (and millions) as well.
And I will be smiling when the picky. narrow-minded, whiny, FReepers, who demand more from this man than they do from themselves or anyone ... perfection, start to hint at wistfulness for the days when George W. Bush was our President, and, due to HIS devotion to his duty, resolve, courage and intrepidity, and the awesome bravery of our unparallelled military, we’ve endured no horrors, no terrorist attacks on our soil since 9-11, thank God.
I pray it is ever thus, but I fear it will take another catastrophe to wake up the delusional and numbed brains of some folks.
