““Tell those kids in your class not to give up on POTUS,” he wrote, using the popular acronym for president of the United States. “Tell them life for a president is not easy, yet I have never heard #43 whine about the loneliest job on earth, never seen him pose gazing out into the future to depict how tough his job is.”

hmmmmmmm...

This article was amazing. I read it in bits and pieces all day, but in it’s entirety it is excellent. I gained more respect for W having read it. One thing is for sure: he’s smart, well read, and a damn good statesman, with real awareness of history and the American presidency.

Obama couldn’t light a candle to him.

During the 2004 campaign I was asked by someone on FR to moderate a Bush forum in Yahoo groups. I had to choose a new screen name and, off the top of my head, I chose W4freedom. How’s that for prescience?

I loved this article, but I cannot fathom how someone who can write so admiringly about W could vote against him. Boggles my mind!

Thanks for the ping, though I’m a tad late picking up my pings.
