We’re in for a tough time, and I’m sure going to miss the President looking out for us.

He is one of the finest men to ever occupy the Oval Office.

I haven’t been very much of a Bush fan lately, but I am very sad today. Bush is a good man, who has faced adversity, and some of the harshest and meanest opposition, but always faced it with class. I hope history is kind to him.

Now is not the time for criticism, but simply for us to say, “Thank you Mr. President for all you’ve done.”

God bless President Bush.

There seems to be a lump in my throat.

Well I am working tomorrow.... so Levin lounge for licking of wounds?

Yet never once was mentioned that the outgoing President has always marked this day either at church service or visiting some centre in honour of Martin Luther King, following are photos showing these events.
