It seemed to me he got pretty good applause today. Makes me wonder if the other countries are as anti- american as the media tries to make us believe.
President Reagan won over many of his critics in his second term, I think President Bush is going to do the same.
His eyes are blue?
Im no where near being a flamer, but even I have to admit that Bush is a stud!
GWB cracked a hockey joke! LOL!
President Bush's speech was EXCELLENT.
He is so clear, so firm in his beliefs, and so bold to say what he knows to be right, regardless of how it could be received. He is a leader.
His delivery is so genuine and passionate that he could change minds just with his confidence.
His comments were far more gracious than the liberal government of Canada deserved. I believe he won over many people yesterday and today. He was truly a gentleman, showing sincere appreciation to those very kind and generous Canadians who were there to help Americans in need.
He truly makes his opponents look so small, because he is so big.
When he gets those stupid "Why do they hate you" questions, I wish he would just respond with "Because they don't know me." Then flash that big Texan smile.
Oh, that is great! Love that pic! Thanks :) Wonder if Mrs. Bush has seen that? Her hubby's a pinup :)
Wonderful photos!! Thanks for posting them.
That would be great!
Nah, he's a lumberjack, so he's OK. :P
lol!
He raised the example of a former prime minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King, who did not wait for Hitler's Nazis to attack Canada before sending troops to fight in the Second World War.
He quoted King's words directly: "We cannot defend our country and save our homes and families by waiting for our enemies to attack us. To remain on the defensive is the surest way to bring the war to Canada."
The president added: "Mackenzie King was correct then and we must always remember his words today... There is only one way to deal with enemies who plot in secret and set out to murder the innocent and the unsuspecting. We must take the fight to them."
He's definitely no girly man!
Neat thread, and great comments.
My wish and my hope is that the Canadian people get to know him and love him as much as the American people do. He is a warm, friendly, touchy-feely, honest and decent man. I am NOT ashamed to admit that I absolutely, positively adore him.....
Judy:
Thank you for your kind words.
In my heart, I truly believe that most Canadians share your beliefs and convictions. At least, I hope so.
I will NEVER forget September 11th, 2001 either.......
Great minds think alike! ;-)
he he he
My favorite Dubya pic too. BTT.
I thought cowboys were "out" as far on the post-modern sexiness-meter.
