I recognize that this particular choice as one of the most memorable moments from the George W. Bush presidency may appear painfully cliche and wholly predictable.
I accept that.
That it has been seen many times makes it no less powerful or less stirring.
It is from September 14, 2001 at Ground Zero.

A powerful moment to be sure...and if I recall, done against the advice of some of his advisors...
That was such a great moment. So many people have forgotten that day and the devastation on that day in September 2001. will miss President George W. Bush and V.P. Cheney. May God bless them and their families.
Why does the author have to clothe his praise in such simpering defensiveness? That moment at Ground Zero was wildly uplifting, unique among presidential speeches, and wholly unpredictable.
That was one of the times I liked President Bush the best.
Still makes me cry. I love that man. I will miss that man.
