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.
Yes, please exhibit the other one!
I remember that! Fun night. Didn’t you do the beads for her as well?
Oh, could I? REALLY? Please, please, please!
Then: Ohhh---it's SO NICE to see W at that podium again!!!!!!
Then: I'm soooo sick of hearing Clinton and Obama talk about THEMSELVES! God Bless George W. Bush - he knows it's NOT about him and whatever he's done, it's about helping those people raise their spirits and money to help them. I-I-I that's all you ever hear from the other two!
Then: Do NOT touch W - you filty socialist/marxist jerk! ...or you either you perverted awful person!!!
STANDING OVATION for you, NordP!
I love EVERY WORD you wrote!
Her coloring is my favorite.
We laughed so hard that night, we were all in tears.
We stayed on the DOSE very late that night.
It was a SOTU speech.
The thread went over I forget how many posts.
And I am amazed that you remembered the (color coordinated) pop beads, dmd25!
I remember laughing so hard that night that I cried. (Helped me deal with the reality of having a witch as speaker of the house....)
Ah. The delicate interplay of color and texture in such a prestigious setting. Genius!
BRAVA, NordP! BRAVA!!!
That’s the one.
LOLOLOLOLOL
We stayed on the DOSE till the wee hours.
Uncontrollable laughter.
Why, thank you again! I’m glad you noticed that I made a great deal of effort choosing the color scheme, and doing the fine detail work. :)
It's not only the artistry but also the craftsmanship that makes such a dramatic impact.
Timeless.
How's this for a first effort??
SUCH fun!
The tension! The drama! The moustache!
OH WONDERFUL JOY!
Doncha think?
Yes, there's that, but the parallelism between the mustache and the blue bags under his eyes is just exquisite. Very deep. The bags, that is.
ROTFLOLOLOLOL
Oh, he looks immensely better. He was so fake until now!
STARWISE - come see ohioWfan’s art work. Saints be blessed, she’s back at the easel again!
That remains our night to forever remember!!!!
Now that you’re in the mood, what can you do about the fraud?
President Bush is definitely scheduled for Meet the Press and This Week . . . I’ve also heard that he’s going to be interviewed on all of the morning shows (Fox included).

BTW: I LOVE your most recent artistic effort — Bill Clinton has never been ‘drawn’ so accurately!!!
