Bush speaks out
Well after eight years of ridicule, mockery, accusations, unfair coverage and negative scrutiny President Bush speaks out. This was to be his last press briefing and I suppose he wanted to share whats been long on his mind.
I’m no psychologist but it is obvious for anyone who saw this briefing or read the transcripts that all these issues have weighed heavily on him all this time. He spoke with passion about the country and it’s mindset right after 9-11. With equal vigor he asked us to recall the environment around the White House in those days. People being hauled up before congress and grilled on “why they didn’t connect the dots”. How the critics went from standing together to partisan bickering and finger pointing. ” I remember those days” he said with a sober tone. President Bush’s mandate at that time and indeed to this day has been to protect this country and rather than sit and do nothing he has taken action. Actions that every American should be thankful for but instead he has been lambasted by the liberal left and the elite. With the help of the media those perverted views have permeated to the average citizen and now it seems only a remnant see clearly the dangers we’ve avoided with the man who has lead us. Bush who until today held his tongue against his critics stood with his face against the darkness unwavering in his commitment. Can the same be said of Harry Reid? Perhaps Ted Kennedy stayed up all night worrying and in prayer? Surely Michel Moore,Ted Turner, Dan Rather, Nancy Pelosi, Hilliary Clinton and even Obama himself all gathered in support and stood in lock step with this man to ensure my freedom and yours. Sadly no, they all have fought tooth and nail to bring doubt and uncertainty to the brilliant moves made by President Bush. “fake but accurate”, “the war is lost”, “Bush harmed the country”, “our moral standing is lost”. Ranting and raving is not action.
There are those in history who have faced equal or greater odds. Books are filled with these legacies both failed and true. One book has not been written yet but the ink wells are poised and as time passes they will be emptied onto the pages of George Bush’s legacy. If it were written now perhaps the first line would be.
“You and I are safe tonight because one man stood”.
George W. Bush.

President W. Bush, as his father President H.W. Bush and Ronald Regan loved this country. They did what was necessary to protect it and all how lived on it’s soil whether they cared or not. I don’t see this with the new money hungry, blood thirsty socialist regime that was voted in.
God bless these three men for standing steadfast.
I pray that someday we will experience a man like them again.
