So very true. I abhorred his turn towards the left with regards to govt, but I do respect the guy.
Well said! Bookmarked.
This is about as fair a summation of GWB’s Presidency as I have read. I disagree with the author on one point, tho’. I think History is going to judge GWB as one of the greatest American Presidents ever. Obama has a tough act to follow, only he doesn’t know it yet.
Although I disagreed with some of President Bush’s actions, this article is right on the money regarding what a decent man he is. If we humans had the power to see the true measure of a man’s soul, my instinct tells me that George Bush would come out much, MUCH higher than Barack Obama . Unless Obama really experiences true conversion and acts on that, he will end his career far below.
(It will also be interesting to see how smoothly the transition from Obama’s presidency to the conservative who follows him will go.)
In other words, had Bush been any kind of a leader. Sorry, but 'nice guy' and 'classy' are about as applicable here as they would be to a surgeon whose patients all die.
He was treated sooo badly by the Press which infected many people.....it is unforgivable. They elect this empty boob hussien -—and discard Laura and W like trash. I hope to God George gets his justice when some people with brains actually look at his accomplishments (referring to terrorism). I despise the MSM.
I have a lot of mixed feelings about Bush. In 2000, I thought he was the best choice and the right choice for the job. I 2009, I’m not so sure - but only because we witnessed few real examples of his conservative credentials.
That said, the statement about a divided nation rings more true than ever before, and this is a charge I lay at the left’s feet. It is the Democrats who have driven a wedge in this country that has created a political divide. It is Democrats who have driven the wedge in the country that has both created, maintained and exacerbated the racial divide. And, it was Democrats in the Clinton WH and Democrats at the Obamessiah inauguration who displayed some of the most classless, juvenile and immature behavior towards the incoming/outgoing president, Bush.
Clinton’s trashing of the WH and stealing $200,000 worth of property from the WH (remember the china, silverware and computer keyboard “W”’s they stole) - property that rightfully belongs to the American people.
The Obamanites’ “booing” of Bush and the whole “hey, hey, na na na” business is a prime example of just how immature, juvenile and classless they are. And, IMO, the biggest problem with Democrats and politics is that, with them, it isn’t about policy, it isn’t about patriotism, is isn’t even about America - it’s about who won. They have corrupted their political party into one giant Superbowl rivalry. And that kind of attitude will NEVER serve America well.
My daughter’s boyfiend (a Marine) remarked on how President Bush looked like the weight of the world was finally taken off his shoulders. It was finally taken off. Zero may have a tough job ahead of him, but his shoulders will not have to bear the additional burden of being pilloried by the press, the entertainment industry, and the looney left.
I am sure that today George Bush slept more soundly having been relieved of the awful burden of his office.
For conservatives and American patriots that love their country, it’s payback time tenfold. The enemies of America (Liberals and the MSM) trashed this President from beginning to yesterday’s end. Conservatives can now use their playbook back on them. Conservatives are more intelligent so I’m sure we can do a much better job than the Left and the media ever did.
George Bush is a good man who has served his country honorably. He was a darned sight better as President than his predecessor. And after this travesty of an Inauguration, I like him a lot better than his successor.
