I almost feel like extending them a hearty, “Welcome home!” Last November, I wondered how the people of this country could drift so far off course.

Thank God, they’re beginning to find their bearings again.

I went and read it and then scanned the comments, which were also an eye-opener. The blog and the commenters clearly have had a change of heart and an entirely new perspective on Pres. Bush. Somehow, someway, the word is getting out, despite the MSM covering for The Won. It is the MSM who is the dangerous player in America today.

Until the era of Obama, I never believed any president would not care about America and protect her. As I said, until the era of Obama….

I get perturbed by those who wish to blame all the ills of the conservative movement on Bush. He’s a good man and history will do him justice. Four things led to his demise:

1) The vile and hate of liberals in Hollywood and the medis. Who can blame him for that.

2) His graciousness and classiness. While it may have frustrated conservatives that he did not fight more, he was often right. The office is above petty politics. He treated the office with respect and dignity and acted like the Presdient of all Americans, not just red state Americans.

3) The Iraq War. All war leaders and presidents have trying times. He always stood accountable and firm even when he was unfair recipient of bad intel, advice and coverage. Conservatives who supported the war abandoned him and blamed his ills on domestic policy. Its simply not true. War weariness turned him into a lame duck and a public villain.

4) His inarticulateness. Cant defend him on that. But his folksy charm was quintessentially American and after the silver tongued Obama, perhaps people will long for simple, plain speaking folk in the White House.

This is not a blog that changed its mind over the last year. Here is what they were saying a year ago.

I followed them during the election because they supported McCain but I can’t understand how they think Hillary would be so awesome but Obama is so terrible. Its possible that Hillary doesn’t share the profound hatred for America that Obama does but I don’t see a ton of difference in their respective degrees of leftism (Hillarycare, anyone?). I’d imagine this is why most of the Hillary supporters came around to liking Obama and the PUMA effect wasn’t strong enough to turn the election.

Great diary though. I’m glad someone is seeing it; there are still too many leftist blogs that are blindly following Obama.

but I must dissent. GWB refused to articulate and defend his own policies for fear of offending the left. He left outrageous lies go unchallenged until they became ingrained in the minds of the American people as known truths. He muzzled Dick Cheney for 8 years, rather than letting him do what we have seen him do so effectively when unmuzzled. He flattered Democrats, groveled before them, covered up their transgressions, but would not dispute them, even when that was to the detriment of his own presidency. He is, in my opinion, the number 1 reason that we have Democratic supermajorities in Congress and a dangerous, radical president, and why we are on the brink of a government takeover of health care.

It is every bit as inexcusable to turn a blind eye to the demestic threat to our lives and security posed by the Democratic Party as it is to turn a blind eye to the threats to our well-being that excist beyond our nation’s shores. GWB’s conduct, in this area, was inexcusable. Even now, he is silent while Obama attacks members of his own administration, and his wife and father are actually defending Obama. There is no defense for this, no excuse for this, and GWB should be held accoutable for what he did, and what the consequences of his actions were.

The Anchoress always finds good articles to lift the heart and spirit.

I didn’t agree with much of Mr. Bush’s fiscal policy, but I like him (and in the pictures of him clearing land he looks like my Dad) and Mrs. Bush is awesome. One reason I voted for him and his father was they made such a good choices in helpmates.
I also believe he was trying to do the best for this country and her citizens even if we didn’t agree. I do miss him, Mrs. Bush, their simple courtesy and dignity.

…they represented the pro-Hillary “PUMA” vote that was supposed to turn out in force for McCain (and who knows, maybe they did; maybe that helps explain how a disaster like Queeg came within seven points).

I’m trying to wrap my head around how anybody can be pro-Bush, pro-Cheney, AND pro-Clintons all at the same time, but I’ll take it.

Remember how shortly after 9/11 a lot of Gore voters were publicly admitting “thank God he lost”? Well, there’s a level of buyer’s remorse over B. Hussein that outstrips anything the media will ever report, no matter how bad things get. For all the things that made me angry about Bush, and they were legion, it was nice to have a president who actually gave a damn about our men and women in uniform and who, when presented with the wreath to decorate the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, placed it with honor and reverence rather than a casual, dismissive, disinterested sneer.

It’s the little things that are turning even those who don’t pay close attention to politics off Obama, but these little things stare us in the face, daily, relentlessly, and are snowballing into a cumulative perception of this President as a cold, thoughtless, jive-ass son of a bitch. When a bunch of gay Hillary supporters in Chicago miss the honest simplicity of a George W. Bush, you know something’s happening in this country.

Thanks for the link because so far I can’t find much in the way of Obamabots who are repenting. If it weren’t for the horrendous damage being done to our country right now, it would almost be funny that W led directly to Obama (with McCain the catalyst) and now Obama is leading to the resurrection of W’s image.

Right now I sure don’t see evidence Obama can get re-elected without massive fraud and maybe not even then.

we now have a Pressssident that won’t shut the heck up. Alssso, 0bama sssoundsss like a ssssnake or hassss a problem with whisssstling when prouncsssing sss.

Asss much assss it hurtssss me to ssssay this, but I think Hillary would have been 100% better presssident than 0bama. I have a good feeling she wouldn’t have sssspent her time sssssurfing the world apologizsssing for the United Statessss.

I’ve always felt that time would judge Bush more favorably. He went of course where spending was concerned, but he did do well in terms of standing up for freedom around the world and keeping this nation safe. For that I will forever be thankful and respect the man!

…these people beat on Bush relentlessly for eight years and destroyed his presidency. They created an atmosphere which enabled the worst president in U.S. history to get elected, which has this country teetering on the edge of destruction, and they’re SORRY?

SORRY?

F—- you, you’re sorry. That isn’t sufficient at all.

I’m not impressed that they might recognize the Bushes had more class than the current cabal. Any moron can see that.

I don’t know enough about these people to know whether they supported Obama or if they were part of the Hillary Clinton PUMA group; either way, they set the table for what happened last fall and “I’m sorry” is not going to excuse that kind of damage. Shut up and go sit in the corner with the pointy hat on.

this site should be doing a booming business:

either GW, or the old man. And I won’t start now, His mistakes were very real and are partially what led us to this sorry state we are now in.

But of course Obama cannot compare to him, at least Bush, for all his foibles was a man, a patriot, and a leader. Obama is none of the above.

and there were many, he is certainly preferable to Obama. Obama is a disaster who is actively destroying the United States. The total disregard and hatred he has for this country shows in his every action.

I’d rather have Bush than Obama any day. I think considering he had to deal with a democratic controlled congress and senate he did pretty well. I hear a lot of Conservatives lament about his spending and budgeting policies, but one must consider Bush had to negotiate with a Democratic majority and Republicans like Bob Bennett who love to spend.

When I see the left wing nut-jobs Obama appoints to the courts. This is an area of stark, night and day difference we can all appreciate.

I do miss GW Bush’s confident cluelessness.

There was no way anyone could have predicted that Islamic terrorists might strike the US (what daily briefing?)

He was going to “smoke out” those terrorists… in Iraq??? I think he forgot they were still in Afghanistan.

And we are still looking for the “weapons of mass destruction.” Any day now, right?

He had such respect for our soldiers in harm’s way that he begged the thugs in Iraq to “bring it on” to show our toughness.

And, of course, he stood by while his cronies on Wall Street took the economy down.

But at least GW Bush is comfortable now.

Or did mean the One who WON, and derives his ego and motivation from the fact that he pulled a bait and switch, i.e. Mr biPartisan hasn’t talked to Republicans since April. Mr NonRacial called the Cambridge police actions against his black buddies, “stupid,” and solely on the appearance of the policeman’s white skin. Mr no More Lobbyists has a White House wing full of czars who are lobbyists. Mr Not one more dime added to the deficit has wracked up more debt than the first 200 years put together.

Yes, I miss having someone who had a Harvard MBA in the WH, and Barney Frank is still in charge of Housing policy, is he not? No wonder there is a financial and credit meltdown,
That’s my 2 Korean won worth of punditry and I’m sticking to it.
