Yes, it is indeed our old friend Salon that published this hokey-but-sweet little number. Are they just desperate to boost their circulation, or does this mean they've finally decided that Bush won the election?

Holy Cow and wholly chao! What is the world coming to when Salon publishes a piece like this?!
To: white rose
Are they just desperate to boost their circulation, or does this mean they've finally decided that Bush won the election? I'm sure they've realized in this time of national crisis that it is our call and duty as Americans to rally around our leaders, putting petty differences aside for the greater good.
(Somebody stop me, I'm gagging myself...)
Bump for THE PRESIDENT.

When I watched some of our President's Town Hall meeting yesterday, I really felt that G-d was there too. Something special happens in the President's presence and I suspect everyone feels it.

I am at work, so I have to hold them back. I am so proud that this man could not only restore the dignity of the office back to normal, but elevate the bar for those after him.
When I read this, it reminded me of Truman as well:
"Down to earth. Like Harry Truman. What he says isn't all flowered up; he just says it, and it means a lot, you know."
I remember a story about how Truman used to always thank the help and even celebrated the end of WWII with the WH Staff. They remarked that in FDR's many years he had never thanked them for a damn thing, let alone talk to them.

I actually remember Truman's presidency. He wasn't perfect but he certainly never got above himself. He remembered just what a terrible responsibility the Presidency was till the day he left office. I will never forget watching an interview with the slimy one and his wife. They said when they woke up the next morning they were convulsed with laughter that they were going to the White House. They never got it and never will. Unfortunately, the country still has a lot of folks who think they did a good job. G-d help us.

What a fabulous article. What a fabulous President, those people will NEVER forget that night.

Great post!
To: white rose
Thanks for posting this article, it is a great one, I would never have suspected it from Salon. I think Bush has been winning over almost everyone with whom he has interacted.
To: white rose
It boggles the mind that Salon published this.
Thanks for posting this great article.

Thanks for the ping.
Three cheers for our President Bush.

He must have walked his guests of honor out, then doubled back by himself to come into the kitchen..."How are you all? Wanted to thank you for your hard work tonight."
I bet the Clintons never did this. They obviously did not care about the people who served them, and how hard they worked.
I recall reading a story about something that happened shortly after George and Laura moved in to the White House. They wanted to have a dinner party for their Texas friends, and one of the WH staffers suggested that the party be held in a certain room. GW said, "No, that's too far from the kitchen. It would be too much work for the staff." "Oh, that's all right, sir," the WH staffer replied. "We're used to it. We used to serve Mr. Rodham in that room all the time." Apparently Hillary's slob of a brother, Hugh, used to sit in that dining room all the time and be served like a king, not caring how much work he caused, and he was only the brother of the Worst Lady! Here was the actual PREZ-- GW-- being concerned about the WH staff and not wanting to make them work too hard!
The way it ended up, George and Laura entertained their friends in a different dining room closer to the kitchen. Thank God for George and Laura, and the class and consideration they possess!
