As a new year commences I am sure we all miss the steadying hand of George W Bush who in the wake of terrorism or natural disaster gave us a feeling of calm amid the storm, of someone in control yet a man of compassion. This was shown during late 2004 early 2005 when an earthquake and violent tsunamis struck the nations that surround the Indian Ocean.
I have in fact chosen his radio message from January 2005 as the quote of the month for the first monthly dose of 2010.
A man of conviction and compassion, not all did and do agree with what he did but most will agree what he did he did from the belief that it was the right decision and done for the love of his country and its people and not for personal gain or popularity.
I feel the stark contrast with the current occupant of the White House more so each day when I turn the TV on to see what publicity stunt the current President is involved in. Even his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan he felt necessary to qualify with a promise of reducing numbers within so many months, again reminding us of the difference in character between the current and the previous President.
I hope the following photos from January 2005 give you some happy memories of a time when things however bad seemed more manageable and achievable because the President was in control and defending America and all she stands for instead of apologising.
Happy New Year to all and God Bless America and George W Bush and what he meant to us all during 8 very special years.
Absolutely! :)
Obviously, President Bush was the Cowboys’ good luck charm last evening!
VINDICATION AT LAST

House next to Bush home demolished
By: Associated Press - Texarkana Gazette - Published: 01/06/2010
DALLAS—A house next to the Dallas home of former President George W. Bush has been demolished.
Bush spokesman David Sherzer on Tuesday declined comment on reports that the ex-president and his wife, Laura, own the adjacent property, calling it “a personal matter.”
George Gomez with Billy L. Nabors Wrecking, which did work at the site, said he understands that the property is going to stay vacant and the Bushes “just wanted to expand their yard, get a little more yard.”
He looks GOOD!! Know he had fun watchin’ the Cowboys. Wonder if he’ll travel up to frigid Minnesota to see the Cowboys destroy the Vikings. (we can hope!)
Looks like a lotta people are happy to see him. :)
(I don't particularly like the Cowboys, but I'm glad they won for THE President!)
I love seeing people so happy to see GWB!
THANK YOU for posting the photo of President Bush at the Cowboys game yesterday!! [I love the crowds reaction!!]
Great to see the people at that ballgame and their love for
W!
Here’s a videoclip (much too short) to complement the photo of President Bush at the Cowboys game on Saturday — I just love his awshucks smile!! [And I love the overwhelmingly positive comments!]

“And thanks for the reminder that CSpan has dvd’s. I gotta order soma them!
(Do you have any recommendations besides the Inauguration?”
-
Among others, I purchased the 911 Prayer Service dvd, the 911 Speech to Congress dvd, CSpan coverage of the 2001 Inaugural/Inaugural balls dvds, and several SOTU dvds.
Oh thank you!
I saw him at the game... I mean on TV of course!
The video is real cute.
I loved that dress! It was like an extra long shirtwaist dress, but made from that lovely iridescent fabric. Perfect for the Texas Ball!
Yep...much too short, but good to see it anyway. We don’t
get to see enough of OUR president lately!
Thanks, Deb!

The new middle school under construction in the Lubbock-Cooper Independent School District will be named after Laura Bush, the wife of former president George W. Bush.
The Lubbock-Cooper board of trustees cited her background as an educator, her commitment to education and literacy as first lady of Texas and the nation and her Texas roots as reasons for the naming.
Laura Bush conveyed to school district officials the honor she felt about the naming, and said she and her husband would like to attend the opening of Laura Welch Bush Middle School in August 2011 if their schedules allowed.
So proud of the people of Lubbock for giving Laura this wonderful honor!
This one has to be one of my favorite "kid" photos ever. I LOVE it.
I need to get there and order these pronto!)
I hope there will be photos at the event!
THANKS, DrDeb!
(But, GO VIKINGS! ;)
