Friends, Americans, conservatives; lend me your ears. I come to praise George W. Bush, not to bury him; I'll leave that to our famously unbiased media.
*snip*
We can also be pretty certain that his departure will not feature the ransacking of the Oval Office and Air Force One, or the sophomoric removal of the "O's" from White House keyboards.
If, as has been the case for his entire presidency, he is true to his word, he will be as magnanimous to his successor as he was to his predecessor; notwithstanding the disrespect he received at the hands of both.

I had to include your breathtakingly real drawing of President Bush. It’s simply magnificent ... and will stand the test of time and be more appreciated in the years to come, just like its subject.
You’re truly an incredibly gifted artist .. I’m so grateful you created this wonderful piece that we’ll always have. HUGS!

The left thinks if Gore had become president there would not have been a 9/11. Like as Al Qaeda knew how President Bush would attack. Had the terrorist known he would fight back, I am sure they would held back.
You can be sure we would have had another attack if Gore had been elcected or had been successful in stealing the election, because he would not have done anything about the attack, and the same goes for Kerry if he had won the 2004 election

Thanks Star, you have been a great and loyal person. It’s nice to see people who can look through the hate and see the man.

Thank you for this thread of appreciation.
Of all the political and social philosophies, conservatism promotes: self reliance, individual effort, decency, love of and service to Country, charity, humility, doing what is right, confronting evil and giving praise to our Creator.
I believe, as President and personally, George W. Bush held to those principles - however, he has been surrounded and opposed by a majority of citizens, a Congress and mindless media kumquats who do not...
To: STARWISE
Agreed starwise
God Bless President & Mrs Bush!
Thank you for keeping our country safe for the last seven years.

"For I say unto you in all sadness of conviction that to think great thoughts you must be heroes as well as idealists. Only when you have worked alone -- when you have felt around you are a black gulf of solitude more isolating than that which surrounds the dying man, and in hope and despair have trusted to your own unshaken will -- then only can you gain the secret isolated joy of the thinker, who knows that a hundred years after he is dead and forgotten men who have never heard of him will be moving to the measure of his thought -- the subtle rapture of postponed power, which the world knows not because it has no external trappings, but which to his prophetic vision is more real than that which commands an army. And if this joy should not be yours, still it is only thus you can know that you have done what lay in you to do -- can say that you have lived, and be ready for the end."
Oliver Wendell Holmes
Thank you Mr. President

Thanks, STARWISE. I believe President Bush will be appreciated much quicker than the media realizes. His approval rates are slowly climbing, and that will only escalate as the contrast with his successor becomes more apparent.
To: DTogo
Nothing but tingly feelings up everyone's leg, huh? Were you looking for an Obama thread?

Thanks for the “ping”.
I am in total denial about the change that is just days away. ;-(
Thank you, Mr. President and Godspeed to you and your family.
To: STARWISE
Thank you, Star :) I’m honored that you would want to include it.
To: MozartLover
You’re welcome. Thank YOU and your son
for your sacrifice and service to our
country. God bless you both.
Sadly, some folks are completely narrow-minded
and lose sight of the BIG picture.

Me, too. I can neither still believe it
nor imagine that anything so shocking could
happen in these United States of America.
