President Bush's farewell speech was poignant and well received. He made his mark and his legacy will be the strength of our nation's response to terrorism.
He suffered tremendous personal attacks and persecution from his critics largely because of poor advice from subordinates. Yet he was strong and forthright sticking to his principles and relying on his great faith throughout it all. Even the new President expressed admiration for President George W. Bush's courage and strength.
President Bush was elected twice over formidable candidates each time. His popularity was high throughout his first term and well into the third year of his second term. He weathered personal attacks from hostile media which tried to brand him as intellectually inferior and a war monger.
The vitriol and hate for George W. Bush consumed the media during the 4th year of his second term and they regenerated that hate onto the masses through both the printed and televised media. Our nation rapidly became a hate filled population in which people declared they would "kill Bush" would "spit upon George Bush" "rape Bush's ***** wife"-etc. Much of the hate was through TV where so called political parody went far beyond comedy and hate filled messages both direct and subliminal filled the airways. TV watchers were fed a daily dose of hate for the president through reality TV and biased news.
Unfortunately both the media and the hate filled mimics in their feeding frenzy failed to recognize or ignored the good of George W.'s presidency.
They ignored the great progress the Bush AIDS initiative in Africa was making.
They ignored the fact that hostilities in Iraq slowed and nearly stopped completely so that US and Iraqi contractors could rebuild schools, hospitals and infrastructure.
They ignored the diplomatic victories that forced OPEC and other minor oil cartels to increase production and give US citizen's relief at the gas pumps.
They ignored the fact that President Bush was a master of diplomacy who could work with a Democratically controlled congress to get legislation passed. Only rarely did they defeat any legislation President Bush wanted. Unlike many Presidents facing a partisan congress there was never a deadlock.
They ignored that Bin Laden and his forces were trapped along the Pakastani border and constantly under pressure from Coalition forces.
They ignored the fact that the Bush tax cuts and stimulus packages kept businesses open and people working.
Let us hope and pray that the new president does as well as President Bush!
I wept today out of relief to say good riddance to George Bush. He ruined our image worldwide and has presided over torture, extraordinatory renditions and he did what he could in eight years to NOT uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
That man was WORST.PRESIDENT.EVER and the media finally started telling the truth about him, years into his administration.

I couldn't agree more! Watching that helicopter fly away was almost as great as watching Obama take the oath.

Typical liberal. They just talk and talk, but never have nothing to back anything up, or just pay attention to the few stories that their liberal media feeds them and neglects all of the rest.

Right, LOL, how was the media lying about torture, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, secret gulags - just where were the lies in that? Go ahead, I dare you to respond and prove this to be false.
