November and winter is now upon us and it is almost frightening to realise it is almost a year ago that the election was held that made us realise that the previous 8 years of President George W Bush time as President was drawing to an end.

Even though it has been about 9 months since George W Bush left office for many it seems another age so much seems to have changed and many things we hold dear now seem to mean nothing.

We miss the class and character that George W Bush, his wife and of course his father and mother portrayed to the American nation and the world.

I hope the following photos will help us remember time of maybe great sadness and challenge for the nation but also a feeling that there was somebody at the helm that was strong, confident and above all put his love for his country and fellow men first and always did and said what he believed to be the right thing to do.

Enjoy your visit to Sanity Island

Standing with Romanian President Iliescu, President George W. Bush waves to thousands of Romanians in Revolution Square in Bucharest, Romania, Nov. 23, 2002. The square is the site of the 1989 revolt that toppled communist rule and where the Romanian people denounced the dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. "And here, in December of 1989, you broke the silence of your captivity," remarked President Bush. "From that balcony, the dictator heard your voices and faltered -- and fled. Two generations of bitter tyranny ended, and all the world witnessed the courage of Romania, the courage that set you free." White House photo by Paul Morse

Snugs, you did good, you did very good.

That was a refreshing walk down memory lane.

I miss him very much, warts and all.

Thank you snugs..

[Darkwolf377]

Thank you for posting this. So refreshing after the endless Bushbashing that goes on around here.

I didn't agree with everything he did, but I did agree with so much of what he did, from the WOT to his pro-life stance to taxes, freedom.

So very tired of the "Bushbot" slams against those who respect the guy, and am grateful for folks like yourself for reminders like this.

[MEG33]

Me, too, Gator.

[GOP Poet]

Gosh. I miss him. I am very happy to see he is enjoying his life after the presidency. He deserves it.

Dubya had more class in his pinky finger than Obama can even wish for in his entire lifetime.
