The moment I read your post and saw it was from you....I instantly thought of 2 things......”Sexual POTUS” and...........Watching Obama in the White House, will be like watching a 4 year audition on American Idol but NOT laughing.
Nice to see you!

I wish you could see my face, because I can feel my cheeks burning red.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh you lucky duck! I am on the Central Coast of Kalifornia..would LOVE to be there too..so give him a big shout out from those who love him from this neck of the woods.
When President Bush was Candidate Bush running for his first term I went to a rally in Fresno. They had vets on the stage and I was I think the only female vet..retired Marine. I had a book for a friend ( who is a Democrat) who loved McC..his book Faith of My Fathers. I took his book for him to see if maybe I could get the autograph..the Secret Service was so nice about that and I got it..and shook hands with him and was up close to the President and shook hands...it was awesome..And Miss Laura has the bluest eyes..oh my..she wore a teal colored dress that night..it was such a highlight. I get excited just thinking about that great event..I have my Bush yard posters and pompoms too..
He is just a down right good man, a man of such faith and love for this country and willing to sacrifice himself for this nation. Someone else’s name is not worthy to be in this same article to be compared with this fine man..so we won't say it.
God go with you, Mr President.

While he doesn’t take the hearts of all this nation , he takes the hearts of those who understand him with him as well.
just a little post script to my earlier post

President Bush is exceedingly gracious with his comments - far too gracious if you ask me considering how many daggers Obama had for Bush. Yet after this the left and blacks will continue to hate Bush. Go figure.

[StarFan]

I am so green with envy that you'll have an opportunity to welcome him home. I pray he gets the reception he richly deserves and earned.

I know there will be many who wish him good riddance believing he was the worse President ever. Sad that these same people have forgotten how grateful they were that he, not Gore, was in command on Sept. 11th.

I will always be indebted to you, Mr. President, for not letting polls and focus groups dictate how you lead us during these very trying times. History will serve you well.

Real blurry screen here already. I know I'm gonna be sobbing in about 20 minutes.

I have felt love for two presidents in my lifetime: Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. I still tear up when I look at pictures or video of President Reagan.

[AmericanGirlRising]

I’m thankful to President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Mrs. Bush for being our leaders the last eight years. I will miss them.

[silent_jonny]

I'm here!

(temporarily suspending tagline ;)

[kozanne]

I’m really going to miss him. Thank you sir, and may the rest of your life be everything you wanted it to be.

From a most grateful American.

(temporarily suspending tagline ;)

I can't believe I did that. Actually, I can. I am still blushing.

President George Walker Bush ~ 43rd President ~ 2001 to 2009

[silent_jonny]

And there’s an audience there. I wasn’t expecting that.

[JDoutrider]

Reflecting the same thoughts, and emotion as many here... As much as I differed with him on amnesty, and other actions, I still thank him for his actions on the war and protecting America.

We will all miss his steady hand on the latter of that comment.

[retrokitten]

Me either. I’m already tearing up.
