Your 'rant' demands a re-post of an article that says it all:
CRUCIFYING GEORGE W
September 6th, 2005
It is a painful thing to see a good and decent man slandered and abused. George W. Bush has been crucified in the media for five years, day after day. This week, after the unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe of New Orleans, the media mob is screaming louder than ever. It is a gruesome thing to watch, made worse because we can see the impact on him as a person.
Unlike Ronald Reagan, who could turn away a hostile question with a light-hearted joke, Bush is a man who genuinely wants to be liked and yes, even trusted by his opponents. He has done everything in his power to change the tone of national politics, and at every turn he has been greeted with vicious personal slander. It obviously hurts. Not a glib speaker, it must be agonizing for him to face a baying mob of media types who hate him and everything he stands for. Anything he says will be turned against him. He can only take the slings and arrows, without responding in kind, and quietly go back to work.

[I take great solace in knowing that God is preparing a special place in hell for those who are attempting to destroy our godly president!!]
I take great solace in knowing that he has a strong,wise,and loving wife to turn to,and that she can put it in perspective for him,and remind him that there are MANY of us out here,who admire,respect,and love him. It's just that the braying idiots are of course louder. That's what I tell myself anyway. This President had dealt with almost more than any other President in history,and been ceaselessly vilified while doing so.I hope he knows how many of think that he's great and love him. I wish that I could declare a national "Appreciate President George W Bush" day.I know he's not perfect,but he's a good man,and always willing to roll up his sleeves and get something accomplished,and he loves America.
