~~PING!

"So this is the message to our liberal friends in the media: you didn't beat this president, he beat you. You and your allies in Washington failed time and again to take this good man down. Indeed, he was elected and re-elected despite your historic efforts to the contrary."

Thanks STAR, for the ping to this excellent editorial.

I am not without some serious criticisms but I must say that in such a critical time for our nation President George W. Bush engaged in the fight in the WOT when just about any of the Demagogues would have found endless excuses to do less. Think Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, John Edwards, Hillary, Obama, et al....

So, yes, we have been fortunate in many ways to have GW as POTUS, and although I also see serious flaws in policies, I would take him over any of the leading presidential contenders (and Presidents) we have had in the past 20 years...... so that’s saying A LOT.

Starwise, thank you for this thread and the ping.

Through some very tough times, our president did not waver from his beliefs.

God Bless President and Laura Bush.

Thank you for being here for us, Mr President!

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.

Thank you for this thread, Starwise. I didn't agree with all his decisions, but for the entire 8 years, I felt he was an honest man, a man who feared the Lord, loved and honored his country, and any and all decisions he made he felt were for the best of his country.

Words fail me when I try to express the admiration I feel towards Lady Laura. She is an inspiration and roll model.
