Me too...I'll miss the Bush family. While so many of us did not agree with all his policies, we recognize the man for a man of faith and a man who did what he did because he thought it would be best for the country and not for any personal gain.
Today on the phone, my middle girl said she is calling the youngest to arrange a time to get together to watch the swearing in and the departure of “ that evil man”. That set me off. Her dad was making the throat cutting gesture to tell me to shut up but I said no I am going to say my piece...and that was that that evil man has kept this country safe from attacks for the last 7.5 years! I told her that many conservatives were not happy with some of the spending issues and said so out loud. I also told her I hope 0bama fails in all his efforts to bring socialism to our shores. Then when she went on about how bad things are in their area..people out of work...etc and this crisis due to Bush I asked her if she knows what the cause was..I could hear the blank stare...the housing markets..she said her husband said this...to which I told her..that 17 times the Bush administration brought this to the attention of congress who did nothing and the people at fault,,Franks, Dodd, Meeks, Waters and a host of others brushed it aside..and here we are today and it has affected all parts of American life and business now. The trouble with both girls is that they watch 0prah and Ellen....they read and think not past that and the younger is married to a democrat...she never had a political thought in her head until she married him..and he is a great guy but his family is steeped in the democrat party. So we have two brainwashed girls..only one of them has a husband who gets it.

The last sprig on our branch of the family tree is just as airhead on politics as your daughters.
Sorry, but I figure they all deserve soon to be President Obama.
And we deserve him because we failed to act together soon enough to defend the organs of propaganda and schooling in this country from far left wing control. And then we wasted a lot of time and energy arguing with each other about how many angels can fit on the head of a pin.
We are now reaping the whirlwind.
