The morning of Sept. 11, naturally, I was on FR. A thread popped up about a plane hitting the world trade center and I was in shock. Pictures were posted almost immediately. I found an old television at my office, fiddled with the rabbit ears, and saw live the plane hitting the second tower. My shock had turned to panic. I was scared and sick considering the reports that 50,000 people worked in the twin towers. (One perceptive poster even speculated that this was Bid Laden's doing.)

When President Bush made his first statement, I thanked God that Al Gore was not at the helm, that we were being led by a strong man, a christian man. The President's speech on the 20th brought me assurances that this terror would be dealt with decisively and with dogged determination. My panic was replaced an inner peace thanks to our great President - he gets my peace prize.

God Bless President Bush.

Last night, one of the most yellow of Democrat dogs I know, admitted that Bush is doing a great job against terrorism and he's glad that Bush won the election.

I never thought I'd hear those words from the person who said them. There is hope.

My brother in laws girlfriend shared these same feelings with me. She told me that she had to admit she didn't vote for President Bush. That when 9-11 happened it scared her very much. She called her 2 sons in New Mexico and to this day won't even think of getting on an airplane. But through all of this she looks forward to seeing President Bush address the nation because he is so confident, brave and represents a calming tone to her. These feelings started immediately with the first speech to the nation after the tragedy. He gives her a peace about things she otherwise would never have. She is so relieved that he is our President.
