It’s eerily premonitional...

It was indeed. I call it prophetic.

Not to be disrespectful to you in any way, but a lot of people have been saying things like, "GW wasn't perfect, but..." Thing is, no mortal human being is perfect, yet phrasing such as that seems to imply that many people expected perfection from him. Or, if not that, then it's kind of a way of reflecting that one should be embarrassed to praise President Bush.

Our Dubya did the very best he possibly could with an impossibly complex and inordinately difficult job. He was dealt a bad hand right from the start with Gore's piggish attempts to steal the election, having his transition cut in half, then Jeffords' disgraceful jump to tilt the senate to the Dims, then the Chinese shooting down our Navy plane, then the terror attacks and virtually simultaneous anthrax attacks.

I don't believe any president other than Lincoln has had a more turbulent first year.

My comment about him not being perfect echos that sentiment. Obviously there were things even I disagreed with him about. And that’s the point- anyone expecting perfection will be absolutely devastated. I think O supporters fall into this category.

I’m so tired of the “yeah, buts” about
Pres. Bush, as if any human being
has perfection written in his DNA,
except my merciful Jesus Christ.

Just 20% of the breadth, constancy and
intensity of the extraordinary stresses
and pressures this dear man faced would
cripple or render chemically addicted 99%
of his keyboard commando and other critics.

Just listening to the daily threat briefing
for over 7 years, and analyzing, strategizing
and successfully achieving the goal of keeping
our country free from further terror attacks,
when they were absolutely expected, IS perfection
in my eyes.

The gratitude I have for him is immeasurable
and forever.

God bless Pres. Bush richly the rest of
his days. He will always have my deepest
love, respect, and honor.

I love your tagline Wolfstar. That is one of my favorite songs and I have quite a few renditions of it by various artists, but I think Rascal Flatts did the best job with it.
