Has there ever been a Prez who has been on camera as frequently as this one? I know he considers himself a superstar but finding OB merchandising everywhere you go, and his annoying personal symbol [the US Presidential emblem was not good enough for this anti-American Prez] on fences, bumpers, etc. is beyond belief. If he is always on display, on camera, or on the Internet—who’s running the country???

Classy, mature adult vs. self-centered thin skinned childish brat. At least I was proud of America then….God Bless, George.

Amen, Sister!

GW brought dignity and honor to the office of the President. He maintained it well for 8 years, under heavy fire from his political enemies, and departed with grace.

As the Germans would say, “Das ist ein Mensch!” (Trans.: “Now there is a real man!”)

Pretty much spot on, except for the statement “…but on the measures he took to keep our country safe…”

Not to get picky or anything, but for a “leader” to open the borders like he did without enforcing immigration laws (except perfuntorily) I can’t give him a pass on that one. The economic mess we are in right now can in large part be attributed to the gazillions of wasted taxpayer dollars spent on protecting and enhancing the invaders instead of performing the functions our government is supposed to do (like oversee banking and mortgage procedures).

He is a very honest, straight shootter. In later years the population will well understand.

Notice how he decided to “take answers directly from the audience, rather than responding to pre-submitted questions.” Gee, and I thought President Bush was stupid. At least he can answer questions without having to pre-plan it like our Dear Leader. Thank you Mr. President. You might have made some errors and frustrated me at times, but I will give you respect, that I truthfully can’t give Obama at this time.

Well said, Ted, you hit the nail on the head. Bush wasn’t perfect, but he did what the thought was right for everyone involved. What he received in return was ridicule, scorn, and hatred.

I have no doubt that, years from now, history will be far kinder to GW then it will be to our media and their behavior over the last few years.

Thanks again, W!!

The thing that leaps out from that article, and what permeated his entire presidency, is the class and respect he has for the office. He is incredibly entitled to exact his revenge on his 8 years of abuse by everyone on the left by ripping into the O, but he won’t. He’s not that kind of man.

I cannot imagine how hard it must be to be him – having been called every single name in the book, had his character and family’s name assassinated almost daily in the MSM, treated so poorly around the world – and still be a calm, respectful, generous man.

I disagreed with many things he did, especially not fighting back enough or trumpeting his accomplishments more, but as I got to know him better after he was elected and especially after 9/11 I learned to really like and admire George W. Bush, and I am very proud to have called him President. I miss him too.
