It is now over a year since the best President of this century has left his office and the more time goes by the more I miss him.
I thought I would post an excerpt of his State of the Union Address, which he gave on February 2, 2005. I will post the link to the entire speech at the end of the quote for anyone to read the entire speech, if you want to
Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island
What a great choice for such a time as this. I've never forgotten this SOTU. Remember how he delayed it until after the Iraqis had voted? I stayed up all night watching the Iraqis vote a few days before this speech.
I miss him so much! I visited Mission 1 Accomplished this morning and just read the letters until my heart couldn't take it anymore. *sigh*
Thank you, Kaslin and all who post and add so much on these threads about this wonderful man ... OUR awesome President!
You are very welcome and I agree 100 percent
You are very welcome. Like I said the beginning, the more time goes by, the more I miss him

Welcome," said the President. White House photo by Paul Morse
