Our nation has been wounded, but not mortally. Freedom has been challenged, but our leadership has never been stronger. The hands that are folded in prayer will soon take up the sword. This tragedy could prove to be America's finest hour!
President George W. Bush--no gravitas??? What fool ever said that?
As a student of history and politics, I have never seen a better speech by anyone! And the words came from a sincere, determined, and honest heart. Lincoln, FDR, JFK, Churchill, Reagan--you have seen President Bush touch the hem of greatness tonight.
We saw the comfort and commitment of FDR after Pearl Harbor. We saw the dogged determination of Churchill, who carried Britain on his shoulers and refused to surrender. We saw the vision of JFK, who pointed our way to the moon. We saw the simple, plain-spoken eloquence of Abraham Lincoln. Moreover, we saw a man who shares Reagan's unbounded optimism and love of country
President Bush appreciates the greatness and traditions of his office. He realizes the significance of the moment, the threats to our future and way of life, and the inherent need for confident leadership.
Perhaps the tragic deaths of our citizens could bring about a great legacy for our children--the systematic annihilation of world terrorism.
Darn, I am proud to be an American tonight! We are fortunate to be living in these times. We are blessed to be living in this country. Tragic times call for great leadership. And I believe the United States of America has never been in better hands.
Mario Cuomo, where has this has-been been at?? LMAO
My sentiments exactly. I just returned from a patriotic rally at our local baseball stadium in Metairie, Louisiana. We actually watched the speech live on a huge screen during the event. The outpouring of patriotism and pride was overwhelming! The crowd hated to leave even after the program had concluded.
I firmly believe God gave us this man for this time in America. I am so thankful He gave us one that is so sincere, so unpretentious and with such empathy and firmness.
