It’s good that he, showing great nobility, fell on the grenade to save his Party.
Perhaps?
It is my humble opinion that President Bush has navigated treacherous waters for eight years with grace and poise. There were many times when it seemed like he was the only adult in the room, which would have disconcerted a lesser man. It has been an extended season of venal and lackluster leaders for our nation and far too many have cravenly succumbed to the temptation to feed their baser natures. Who knows what would have happened, had our leaders had any real spunk, considered as a group.
I believe President Bush has been a singular force to keep the nation united and moving forward and that the courage he has displayed has made him a lightning rod for criticism and carping, literally from every side. So right now, our own wishes and dersires are tied up in what we wanted to have to come to pass. That any wishes have been unfulfilled has been laid at his door. God willing, President Bush will always keep his own counsel about the pressure to which he has been subjected, and God grant him a long and peaceful life after the Presidency.
