That was really heart warming to watch. The home state welcomes back a pair of heroes.
The American voter may have unwittingly done the right thing: to elect the architects of their economic problems with one of the principal engineers at the helm. It will be interesting to watch them twist in the wind, as they wrestle with the cyborg they have created.
Thanks Kate. GWB is a President that America can be proud of, too bad they are too busy bowing down to Obama, their new Caesar, to understand what they had.
The same thing is happening here in Canada, PM Harper is battling not only the opposition parties, but also the MSM and most importantly the Liberal bureaucrats. Does Fire.Them.All. ring a bell?
Thanks for posting this Kate. I miss this good man and his lovely wife at the helm of USA. President Bush made me feel at ease in the world. I miss them more in my heart than in reality.
My peace of mind has taken a real beating since Nov/08, and it just keeps getting worse...
The man is genuinely likeable, and it is good to see his lighthearted spirit shine through now the stress of the office is on someone else's shoulders.
His wife, Laura, looks much more relaxed, and they obviously have a very good relationship.
I wish them both well, and the place in history he deserves.
Voting Present/'Bush Did It' Has a Brief Shelf Life
A few modest predictions:
1) As the world grapples with the economic downturn, especially the inability to fathom the long-term effects of radical changes in finance and investment of the 1990s, George W. Bush will seem less and less culpable for the events of September 2008.
2) As President Obama continues to give interviews as he did on Al-Arabiya or begins to offend some as is necessary when a President conducts foreign policy, George Bush will seem less and less a divider abroad.
3) As Obama talks more and more about the mess he inherited, how intractable the problems are, and how unfair the press, the opposition, etc. are, battered but stoic George Bush will seem more and more sympathetic.
4) And as the Bush stimulus morphs into the largest Obama debt plan and money-printing operation in history, and as the Democratic congress rushes to use the ("don't let a crisis go to waste") panic to enact European socialism, George Bush nostalgia will grow .
No, Kate. The VAST majority of Americans do not miss Bush. Even if Obama's popularity were to drop (and it will), 9/10 people would not want Bush back. You're delirious.
It was reported that O has spent more money in a week than Pres Bush did in two terms. It appears he has thrown congress and the senate under the bus, with all his executive orders.
He will soon find out that even tho the world worshipped him, they will not allow him to be their boss. He has put most of the Clinton bunch back in office, and named two guys with serious tax problems to make huge financial decisions.
Richardson had to resign before taking power, and a few others are suspect. Good going america.
His buy american stunt will cause him lots of problems world wide.

If liberals really cared about black people they would love Bush for being the President who - in the whole history of not only the USA but of the world ( so far anyway ) - who has given the most money to aid Africa.
I think it is now at more than 15 BILLIONS US dollars.
Even Bob Geldof - far left as he is - acknoledges Bush did great things for Africa.
But liberals prefer kissing the feet of a man who has accomplished nothing ( so far ) simply because his skin is the right color, the color that helps relieve them of some of their white guilt symptoms.
The facts make Bush the real phylantropist, Obama is just a walking-talking slogan with no accomplishements.
My conscience is clear knowing I have respect for a man who really did a lot for Africa, more than anyone on the planet ever.
Liberals/ Bush haters give themselves good conscience by being Obama worshippers simply because his skin is dark.
I chose facts, I chose reality.
Liberals live in a world of illusions, they reject facts.
Saving countless lives in Africa deserves respect.
Being popular for being black is nauseating at best.
Bush cares about black people, there is 15 BILLIONS US dollars in Africa to support this evidence.
Obama cares about himself and you love him for that.

"You liberals are strange people..."
That is an understatement. As they, the libs, still attempt to blame evrything that isn't nailed down on President Bush they don't realize that their time in the MSM-limbo bubble is running out.
It is a fact: Super Sleth President Obama has exposed more high-level tax cheats in two months than the IRS has in the last ten years.
Why this blog? Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice
of an ordinary Canadian
yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

mailserver in Europe)
I can't answer or use every
tip, but all are
appreciated!

Kate, thanks for posting that. Nice to see.
History will show just how unfairly Bush has been treated.
God bless George Bush. God bless America.
Thanks, Kate.
Good job Mr. President.
Err... the new president want to know where you used to yell at your wife without TMZ finding out.

Gosh...I like this man....time will tell what a bunch of idiots that has replaced Mr. Bush..

Yes, Barry. They will. As Bush said himself, "I think history will prove me out." Check again in 30 years.

I recommend folks connect to the Wall Street Journal and read Peggy Noonan's opinion piece. methinks the honeymoon is over, folks.
Dubya managed to maintain his dignity and humanity in the face of the most vicious media onslaught in American history,
The new kid already looks like he could use some sleep.

DOH... more coffee!
Yes, Yoop, but has The One's illegal alien Auntie been deported yet???
"It is a fact: Super Sleth President Obama has exposed more high-level tax cheats in two months than the IRS has in the last ten years.'
Kind of making an arsonist the fire chief, eh.
"The VAST majority of Americans do not miss Bush."
Do tell!
Upon which vast and plausibly accurate study do you base this assertion?
