Thanks for this heartwarming post. With the present administration’s cr*p flying in at us every day, this was a welcome respite.

and better.
Of course, a Rose Bush would be an improvement on what we have now.

I think in the two years he has been gone we have seen what a crap bunch of fools he had to deal with in the Senate and House on both sides of the aisle.

That said, I’m sure glad we’ve moved on from him and his tenure as President.

He may not have been perfect (that amnesty thing really bugged), but at least he was human ~ as opposed to the commie-muslim- monster-in-chief we have now.

President Bush had faults, we know that…..BUT

When I watched that video I realized how different he is compard to the bamster…….we really have to work hard to get Obama and his band of thugs out of office so we can get back to what we know works for our country.

Bright days ahead Redstaters, I can see it…..bright days ahead!

Oh well … to quote Glenn Reynolds; any sentence that begins with “If Republicans were smart” tends to complete itself.

PS: I do believe Christie has a YouTube channel.

his lack of outrage at what is happening now to the country and ideals he risked his reputation to protect is really disappointing. I know he’s trying to play the elder statesman role and under normal circumstances he would be doing a great thing, but times have changed. If he is not genuinely concerned, enough to speak out, then he is really as naive as his critics have said or he’s more concerned about his legacy. Either way, a man of great character, whom I idolized for a time, is failing us now. He should take his queues from Cheney. Obviously Cheney really cares.

now I wake up every hour on the hour.

if he were to attack Barry and co in the way in which you suggest, it would be on every single front page in the country and, here’s the kicker…wouldn’t help.

I believe GWB is striking the precisely correct tone that I wish the other living non-Bush ex-Presidents would adopt.

The only thing that matters in the short term is the November elections. GWB throwing himself into the fray would make HIM the story. We don’t want that.

Bush gave us 4.36 unemployment, 15000 DOW, 4 million jobs, and confidence we could defeat any attacker.

The collapse of the housing market was a Dem.-generated mess a la Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae that the Bush tried twice to address and was defeated by both Reps. and Dems.

Bush spent all of the first year of his second term pushing Soc. Sec. reform, and got one or two MSM nods for it, as we now face bankruptcy in the “fund” at any moment.

Bush’s backing for Medicare Advantage and more private money and planning (which Obamanationcare strips) was an excellent step toward addressing the horror of Medicare financial failure.

What we miss in George W. is he was a grown up, an adult, someone who had administered a state as a governor, who had addressed alcoholism and knew his limitations as a human being,

Now, we have a megalomaniac who thinks he can stop the tides and plug the oil leak by waving his magic teleprompter and waving his arms around. Worse, he is determined to change the entire governmental and commercial relationship in America and leave us more vulnerable to Greece-like finances and instability,.

Thanks for the reminder of what a presidential president is.

George W. Bush has been such a busy man these days, I don’t know where he finds the time to make these nice videos. Between blowing up deep water oil derricks (he looks great in a scuba suit!), crashing the Greek currency, and using his telepathic powers to simultaneously force the Democratic Congress against sound judgment to run up $13T in debt while convincing employers not to hire due to increasing medical insurance costs. All that, combined with his volunteer role as a big bank mortgage lender, appraiser, AND forecloser, I don’t know where he gets the energy. All that brush-cutting keeps you young I guess. Like playing golf a lot or sailing a yacht.

It’s the personal touch that tells you he cares.

Anybody that complains about policies or whatever is just being a moron. Nobody’s perfect except God, so we all make mistakes, and we all do what some people like and other people loathe.

I remember the Christmas season of 2001, with the big anthrax-in-the-post scare and everything. I was only nine at the time, and I remember crying to my mom that “those terrorists have ruined *everything*!” And then we’d watch the news and see Dubya promising to take out the bad guys or some such, and it made it better for me. I was remarkably aware of what was going on in the world at age nine, and I felt able to trust the President.

I could trust Dubya. I can’t trust the one we’ve got now. Oh, I tried. Believe me, I tried. I made many valiant attempts to give him the benefit of the doubt, to say my prayers for him, that he’d be a good leader and all that, but… I had to give that up because I can’t trust him. Now when I say my prayers, I lump everyone together: “Dear Heavenly Father, please give those in government wisdom to lead, or at least a half an ounce of sanity.”
