Audacity of Truth
Move Along:
""The whole issue of this - of talking points, frankly, throughout this process has been a sideshow. The whole thing defies logic. And the fact that this keeps on getting churned out, frankly, has a lot to do with political motivations."

9-11: George W. Bush and his bullhorn
Lots of people have written today about that terrible morning: where they were, what they remember, maybe honoring the victims or the many valiant heroes of the battle and its aftermath. I wondered what I would write. I decided that, rather than focus on the day itself, something others have done much more eloquently than I ever could, I wanted to share video of what has become one of my strongest memories from that time: the moment, when, three days later, George W. Bush stood amidst the smoldering ruins from which the dead were still being recovered and rallied a stunned and bloodied nation:
That was the day a man who won a disputed, contentious election truly became President of the United States of America, and I’ll forever be grateful for him.

This what a real leader does and says in a time of terrible crisis. I will never, ever, forget this moment. Thank you for posting it.
Awesome. I will never forget that moment, either.
Most notably, a man who loves God and his country/countrymen.
A great unscripted response for all time!
Thank you for posting this. It was a shining moment of true, real hope in the aftermath of 9/11 and it’s a great reminder of what true leadership is about.
I know Duh-1 doesn’t have it in him to respond as a leader would, but can you imagine how confused, ignorant and babbly he would have been then and there had he had to make a speech, especially without TOTUS?
I’m not a GW fan because he was a jackass/socialist lite, but this was admittedly a shining moment.
President Bush, and I proudly use the tile and name, wasn’t afraid to stand in the middle of America or his troops and grieve the fallen. I admire his courage and compassion and his making decisions that protected Americans.
