As a new year commences I am sure we all miss the steadying hand of George W Bush who in the wake of terrorism or natural disaster gave us a feeling of calm amid the storm, of someone in control yet a man of compassion. This was shown during late 2004 early 2005 when an earthquake and violent tsunamis struck the nations that surround the Indian Ocean.
I have in fact chosen his radio message from January 2005 as the quote of the month for the first monthly dose of 2010.
A man of conviction and compassion, not all did and do agree with what he did but most will agree what he did he did from the belief that it was the right decision and done for the love of his country and its people and not for personal gain or popularity.
I feel the stark contrast with the current occupant of the White House more so each day when I turn the TV on to see what publicity stunt the current President is involved in. Even his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan he felt necessary to qualify with a promise of reducing numbers within so many months, again reminding us of the difference in character between the current and the previous President.
I hope the following photos from January 2005 give you some happy memories of a time when things however bad seemed more manageable and achievable because the President was in control and defending America and all she stands for instead of apologising.
Happy New Year to all and God Bless America and George W Bush and what he meant to us all during 8 very special years.
What great news! I will be glad when we name a school after
one of the Bushes here where I live in West Texas!
Laura certainly deserves this honor. Thanks for posting it!

PRESIDENT BUSH WILL PROVIDE THE KEYNOTE ADDRESS FOR THE SCI HUNTERS CONVENTION ON JANUARY 23, 2010

And yes, tickets for our ‘unpopular’ President’s speech are already soldout — the only speaker/entertainer to have achieved soldout status.

I got a kick out of this paragraph....
Last month, PBS ombudsman Michael Getler reported that he'd received "quite a few" letters from viewers who worried that the show would promote Bush's political views.
Oh, yes. Heaven forbid that a conservative, patriotic perspective would be given on a far leftist media outlet like PBS.
The hypocrisy of the left is sometimes astounding.
And yet, oh so boring at the same time.....
Yep, those leftists really walk their ‘open minded’, ‘tolerant’ talk don’t they?! /sarc
Personally, I can’t wait to watch the Bush Institute programming — it’s the only reason I would ever purposely watch PBS.
The program, called “Ideas in Action,” will be hosted by the head of Bush’s think tank, James Glassman.
Thank you for keeping us updated!
FOXNews.com TODAY
President Obama has tapped George W. Bush, a prime target of Democratic criticism during the presidential campaign for his response to Hurricane Katrina, to help lead Haiti relief efforts in the aftermath of the earthquake that devastated the country two days ago.
I thought that I heard that it was GW’s father that was going to work with Clinton as they did during the tidal wave in Indonesia. It WOULD be strange if it were GW...since he has been so badly criticized for Katrina.
His response, however, was much more timely and quick than Zero’s has been to this disaster, IMHO!
LOL! I simply can’t imagine those two in the same room, much
less on the same mission! Thanks for clarifying that, Onyx!
I miss him, too! *sigh*
After all the Bush bashing and blame... yet Obama calls on him!
OUR PRESIDENT has always been gracious. Of course, he’s always a PATRIOT FIRST.
I completely trust the heart and motives of our
decent, compassionate Pres. Bush. I *do not*
trust the motives of the man who requested
his services ... at all.
Rush had something to say about this today.
Here’s Rush’s take on it ..

RUSH is the best!
I heard him today.

“You can say what you want about Pres. Bush,
but there were no more attacks after 9/11 ..
he was tough~~”!!
He’s a big investor in News Corp .. among
many other companies.
Here’s the interview.
