Excellent article! The only thing I would add would be the incident, about 3 or 4 months into his administration, with the Chinese jet fighter and the subsequent capture and release of the Navy flight crew.
GWB is beginning to sound like Job.

Out of all the things mentioned that he's had to endure -- this is the one that angers me the most -- "Fierce opposition from his political opponents if he does anything more than sneeze"

Wonderful article that sums up how I feel about him. He is a man to be trusted, is not driven by ego, and is motivated by a sincere desire to do the right thing.

Yet, with all this going on, two indisputable facts have surfaced about the man in the Oval Office.
First, this is a man we in middle America have always identified with and trusted. We know his word is his bond. He's not perfect, he might not always be right, but we instinctively know he makes his decisions based on what he believes is best for the American people. If America were a small town, Bill Clinton would be the used car salesman everyone but newcomers and idiots avoided; George W. Bush would be the owner of the general store who also happened to be mayor, chewing the fat with the locals around the wood stove on Saturday mornings and helping them to get things done that needed doing.
Second, this is a sincere, pious man, which is also the underlying reason for the first point. George W. Bush demonstrates a quiet yet confident faith in the Creator, which governs his everyday life and decisions. We have seen it all too often in his eyes in the past 18 months - there is real pain there, real tears when things have gone truly bad, tears shed not for himself but for those of us who are suffering emotional or physical pain. Again, if we saw America as a small town, George would be in church on Sundays and would try to close up early on Wednesdays to get to church then also. He'd be one of the first on the phone to you when a family member died, and no doubt Laura would be by soon with a covered dish and just the right words of comfort.
In short, this is a real man

this is the one that angers me the most -- "Fierce opposition from his political opponents if he does anything more than sneeze"Me too. There is nothing wrong with honest difference of opinion, but the Dems undermine him even when his goals match theirs. The constant demonization of Bush's character and agenda sickens me. This is a time when a small modicum of cooperation and work for the common good of our country should be at the top of the opposition's political agenda.

I still think that the defection of Jeffords thru covert deals with the democrats and therefore difficulty in getting his agenda thru a democrat majority also is a load that the president has had to deal with.

George Bush is an EXCELLENT President. It's so funny because, when I think he has done something that I don't agree with, it ends up that he was RIGHT all along and KNEW what he was doing all along! This is a great man!!
To: Master Zinja
No offense, but that sounded like a letter to Teen Beat magazine lol. Some people just completely idolize politicians, and it's amazing.
To: Master Zinja
You've said it all!
