Honor in Transistion
While the clamors for change and to restore our good standing in the world keep coming from the left. President George W. Bush keeps handling situations the same way he always has. With class. They’ll be no missing ‘O’ buttons on keyboards, no vanishing silverware from Air Force One as he leaves office along with the staff. In fact Mr. Bush has been more than accommodating to the incoming president and his team. They have even credited him for it.
“President-elect Obama thanked President Bush for his commitment to a smooth transition, and for his and First Lady Laura Bush’s gracious hospitality in welcoming Obama to the White House.”said Stephanie Cutter, spokeswoman for the Obama transition office.
This should come as no surprise seeing that he has always treated others in office with dignity and respect. Senator Hillary Clinton is the only sitting senator with her portrait in the White House. George Bush put it there. He also unveiled former President Bill Clinton’s portrait that day, Bill was quite happy.
”The president, by his generous words to Hillary and me today, has proved once again that in the end, we are held together by this grand system of ours that permits us to debate and struggle and fight for what we believe is right,” Clinton said.
Bill and Hillary have since trashed him again and again and Obama has also said many ‘unflattering’ things since the election. Bush also bent over backwards to honor Ted Kennedy and the Kennedy family. Renaming the Justice dept. to honor Robert, Ted’s brother, seeking Ted Kennedy’s input and support on such domestic issues as education, prescription drugs, immigration etc. Ted was so happy to accept an invitation to the White House for a private movie based on the Kennedy’s. Still old Ted has never stopped excoriating President Bush, so much so that George Bush Sr. asked him to tone it down. The list goes on and yet everyone that the President has been kind to has turned to bite him. President Bush has not turned in kind, instead has held the dignity of the office as his guide in handling each of these disappointing actions of the liberal left.
It seems that the left is all so eager to hear President Bush’s praise and can’t get to the isles fast enough during the State of the Union address just to shake his hand with huge genuine smiles as cameras snap photos. While big movie stars and singers are happy to receive millions to help those with aids in Africa (more than any other President has ever done).When all the country was lost after 9-11 and looked to him for guidance, support and leadership. When every major leader agreed (at one time or another) even espousing to do the same as he did or more about Saddam Hussein. They all have turned like dogs to eat vomit lowering themselves and bringing disgrace to our political system. George Bush has not done so but continues to be gracious.
President elect Obama will face many challenges, he has been finding out about those in the past few weeks from meetings with President Bush. He seems to have sobered some with this new information so perhaps his rhetoric will soften or even (dare I say) ‘change‘. Somehow I doubt it. Even so President Bush invited Obama to the White House today along with former presidents Clinton, Bush Sr. and Carter. He didn’t have to include these men but he did. Out of respect for the former presidents and for the incoming President Barack Obama. To show Americans and the world that we, the United States of America support our leadership and stand for one cause.
Respect and honor in transition and in serving. Let’s hope President Elect Obama has paid attention.
