BUSH’S OTHER WAR
Fighting AIDS in Africa, and winning.
by Joseph Loconte
01/30/2008 12:00:00 AM

FOR A FEW FLEETING moments Monday night—what should have been vivid and affecting moments—television coverage of President Bush’s final State of the Union address fastened on the image of a mother and daughter from Moshi, Tanzania. They sat, their faces alive with hope, in the first lady’s box seats. Viewers were not told, and no one seemed inclined to tell them, that Tatu Msangi and her daughter Faith quite literally owe their lives to the Bush administration.

ONE MORE YEAR LIVING DANGEROUSLY FOR UNSUNG COMMANDER IN CHIEF
By Thomas McArdle

To someone unaware of what America and the world have been through the past seven years, President Bush’s final State of the Union address might have seemed little different from any other joint-session speech of the past quarter-century.

Members of Congress from the president’s own party, seated on one side of the hall, stood and cheered often at the many well-designed applause lines, while those on the other side, from the other party, usually sat quietly — just as always.

More bipartisan approval might well have been expected for a chief executive who for more than six years now has prevented a repeat of the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

ANOTHER TOUCHING RESPONSE TO THE “ESSENTIAL PRESIDENT BUSH”

Texas Gal Says:
January 30th, 2008 at 1:43 pm

Thanks Anchoress. I’m a member of the 30% Club, as I like to refer to myself.

Personally, I’ll be happy to have my fellow Texan back home. I’ve grown weary from watching him become the favored punching bag for so called ‘conservatives’. As you say, he is the same man he was when he was elected in 2000. The only thing that has changed is his no nation-building foreign policy, but 9/11 changed him. It changed me too. Actually, I changed with him.

As far as the turning of the other 70% against him, I likened it the other day to group of blog associates to a woman who marries a man who she thinks she can change to be what she wants him to be only to find out she can’t. She faults him for being the person she knew he was all along.

And you’re right about some of this hurting his heart, I’ve had similar experiences in my professional life and I truly do recognize how much he has been hurt, not by disloyalty, but by the doubt of his character.

We’ll be so glad to have him back.
