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.
“”” President Obama often seems to suggest that his administration is facing challenges more difficult than others did. He might look back on the first words of President Bush’s first State of the Union address: “””
“As we gather tonight, our nation is at war, our economy is in recession and the civilized world faces unprecedented dangers. Yet the state of our Union has never been stronger.”

Words from an AMERICAN LEADER.
My thoughts exactly!!
Lots of photos at Jenna’s link!
The park sounds delightful A recreation of the WH Rose Garden included too.
Thank you so much, Dr Deb!!!
The whiney incompetent pretender Obama hasn't got a clue how to act like the man President Bush is. I want him back!!
Thanks for the links!
Thank goodness so many of the President’s staunchest supporters (including you, me and the rest of our DOSE family) have continued to challenge the lies of Obama and his MSM enablers!! Cheney, Hughes, Rove, Thiessen, Blakeman, Gerson, and even Paulson . . . BTW: I can’t wait to read Karl Rove’s book and Laura’s book will be out soon thereafter!!
I feel forever indebted to VP Cheney and to John Bolton also for standing up for President Bush and his administration against the evil and against the trash talk that sought to not only weaken his great and honorable leadership but also to weaken our nation during the time of war. Unforgiveable on all counts. God bless the great leaders we had and continued prayers for our brave troops who have to serve under the present administration.
I’m not that visible around here any more, but I do check my pings, and I always see what you have posted. It is a blessing to keep track of our President, and I wanted you to know I read all of the articles and watch all of the videos you post. Thanks so much!
I love President Bush and I miss him so much!
Thank you, DrDeb, for your terrific offerings tonight. I loved reading Karen Hughes' article. It wasn't very long, but packed a punch. Wow.
Yes! Do you know the dates that Karl’s and Laura’s books will be released? (Can we pre-order them on Amazon yet?)
A "duhhhh" moment. ;)
This is the first time I saw Rove call himself “conservative”, and it’s on the book cover. Is he really “a conservative”? He surely has been good at disguise.
So, is he living in Dallas or in Crawford?
Thanks, onyx! :)
So.........what brings you to a positive thread about President Bush anyway, Theodore?
Is amazon offering an audio version also? *wink*
I want it in audio also.
I guess you haven’t been paying attention for a long time.
www.amazon.com. ;*)
OH HAPPY DAY!
Nothing like having Karl Rove read to me.
