George W. Bush said his good-bye last night. I believe this man did his best. His campaign promises and goals were side railed nearly 8 years ago when the United States was bombed 3 times one morning in September.
W. has kept our soil safe, our lives protected, and has led the free world to uncover our enemy. We have sent our troops out to answer the call to war. George W. has strengthened our military which Clinton had slashed in half.
It is true his ratings have not been good these past 3 years but they have been better than those of Congress.
I believe history will reflect his strengths. I do not mean the history taught our children through publications that say less about Ronald Reagan than they do about the illustrious reign of the peanut farmer.
Let's keep in mind that Reagan became president when unemployment was well into double figures and mortgage rates were as well. He did not focus backward to Carter but ahead to better days.
Let us revisit history and judge our new president against the example of Ronald Reagan who cut taxes and gave us all encouragement as we came back from that recession. To say nothing of the political changes in the world under his watch.
I do not hope Obama does well. I hope Americans are given all the opportunities possible to climb back out of the hole that continues to grow and grow.
'til later
