I miss President Bush
Me, too.
Yeah, he wasn’t and isn’t perfect. He was authentic and he was sincere and he thought about what he was doing. He cared about this country, our traditions and our history. He is a bit younger than me, but I still see my own father in him. A bluntly honest man who spent time learning even while being the most powerful person in the world. A man who could weather the slings and insults and not let them influence his decisions.
Most of all, he is a good human being. I wonder to what degree that is true of all his virulent detractors on all sides?
I know the sorts of comments this post might bring. I really don’t care. W never responded to all the viciousness. It was frustrating, but meant the detractors never even visited his head, let alone lived there, rent-free or not. He had more important things on his mind.
I’m glad he could feel our prayers. Much more important than feeling all the hatred.
Me too.
