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.
Howlingly funny!!!!!!!!
Thank you Snugs-san and Happy Year to you. These pictures bring a huge smile to my face but I also weep at what has happen to this country.
The bags were the initial inspiration.
Snidely Whiplash was a close second.....
I think I captured the essence of his character, don’t you?
My cup runneth over. I must me to bed.
Farewell, good night and thank you for a beautiful evening.
:0)
Gonna have to mull that one over......
Thanks, sissyjane! :P
It's nice when I amuse others as well. ;)
Yes—the beads! What great memories. That was a really fun night. We had to do something to deal with the horror of having her sit behind our President! I think we dealt with it very well. :)
Love it!!! :D
You can start with his devil horns and work from there. He’s EVIL.
You’re creative!!!
I went with a blend of Josef Stalin and sissy.
Like it? :)
THANK you, Ma’am! :)
YES!
STALIN and a touch of HOLDER!
I LOVE IT!!!
EVIL.
The earrings and necklace are perfect. They complete the picture that he’s NOT a serious leader, or a leader at all!
LOLOLOLOL.
An incompetant villain. A treacherous buffoon.
Really, can you imagine what it is like for GWB? Think of how much we all dislike (and that is a nice word!) 42 and 44. I have no desire to be meet either of them, much less them together. Unbearable! GWB is indeed an amazing man.
Precisely the words your art says to me.
“An incompetant villain. A treacherous buffoon.”
God BLESS him!
He's a better man than I am, Gunga Din!
Got to head to bed now. G'nite all!
NordP... you’ll love ohioWfan’s latest art work!!!!!
