Just seen it. Made me emotional.
I’ve said it many times here, but I’ll say it again. This Brit has nothing but love, respect and admiration for President Bush.
Has he been perfect? No, far from it, mistakes have been made, he’s made the wrong decision many times.
BUT, in my opinion he has made the right decision many many more times.
He has shown himself to be a wonderful caring patriot. A man that stuck to his convictions on the most important issue our generation has faced. He has not gone after the critics that have besmirched every aspect of the man, both political and personal.
He has been humble in the defeats he has faced and respectful to even his very worst critics.
I will miss his sense of humor, his compassion and his sincerity. His bold belief in spreading freedom and helping the worlds poor will inspire me for the rest of my life.
Thank you and god you President Bush, please enjoy your hard earned and deserved retirement!
Well said, thank you. I'm not sure why it should matter, when the whole world seems to have BDS, but it made me feel good for President Bush that at least one Brit "gets" him, and doesn't pretend to think he's a John Wayne wanna-be, just because he talks with a Texas accent and works on his own ranch. Many people do both things in their normal daily lives. Europe pretended they didn't understand that, calling him a "cowboy" with their cynical sneer, as if they were too unsophisticated to realise that that's a real lifestyle in America, and an accent has no correlation to intelligence or even education (at least not in America). President Bush is plenty smart.
I'm going to miss President Bush so much. I had my disagreements with him also, including a major one, but I have never doubted his sincerity or his love for this country, and his desire to do the right thing to keep her strong and free. I've never doubted that he's a man of integrity. I just hope the haters will just leave him and his family alone now, they are so riddled with hate that I wonder. Hopefully they'll be too busy worshipping their Kenyan idol, but the left thrives on hate more than optimism and satisfaction.
