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.
It's just GOOD to see THE President again!
Oooooh, did not know you could edit!
Talented you, dear ohioWfan! There’s always your art work for sourpuss faces. LOL.
GMTA? :) (My second one is small because I edited out those fingers which creep me out!)
I'm not sure anymore.
LOL! Pink Floyd.
What a difference....This was class.....Now we have ghetto trash....
LUV the creative editing!!
I was great seeing President Bush behind the presidential podium again — ahhhhhh the good ole days!!
[I’ve got the DVR ready to go for tomorrow!}
I can only conclude that the George Walker Bush 43 facebook page was posted by a fan and not the ‘real deal’ . . . President Bush must have found out about it and had it pulled . . . Bummer!!
:^)
Well, darn.
Such a pleasure to see President Bush today, even if he had to be in the presence of Obama, the man who has mocked and reviled him for over 2 years. One would think O would have some shame, but I realize that is a forlorn hope.
Be sure if you are going to contribute to Haiti through the joint site, you get the address for donations that goes to TEXAS and mail it there. I noticed there were two addresses and I would like President Bush’s people to be counted in his column.
Some of my best work, if I do say so myself!
(I left the hand in so I could leave the Presidential seal in the photo and savor the memory of having a REAL President).
gmta, indeed! :)
I'm only DVR'ing them for the President and sure don't want to get some crappy shows without him........you know what I mean? :)
I simply *love* your Pelosi interpretation! Bravo! Bravo!
That IS a bummer!
Still a Facebook page for the Presidential Center??
I got a lot of emotion out with that one. :)
I have more. Would you like to see another one?
LOLOLOLOLOL
Yes, and I am looking forward to seeing you improve Bill Clinton and the fraud in the WH in much the same way!!!!
I love your idea of leaving the hand in so that the seal could be seen. However, those fingers just creep me out.
