Name a landmark after Bush
Kosovo shows its appreciation by naming a street after President Bush.
It’s better than a sewage plant.
Sorry to be a Grinch, but with his massive government bailout legacy hanging overhead, perhaps someone should name a bottomless pit after W.
Your suggestions?

Rename the Marianas Trench (deepest hole on earth) as the George W. Bush money pit.
Perhaps renaming the Grand Canyon to Bush Canyon?
How about one of the TUNNELS from Nogales, MEXICO to Nogales AZ, the GEORGE W. BUSH MEMORIAL TUNNEL???
How about the “George W. Bush Border Fence”?
Needs to be something about a dead elephant. How about a mastodon skeleton in the Smithsonian. The GW Bush fossil.
For all of his Bush’s flaws (too liberal and too lazy), I still think there’s a good chance the country will miss him someday.
After a dirty nuke goes off in City X, and Obama dithers (and tries to find a way to apologize to the guilty).
After Iraq becomes a thriving, democractic, non-threatening anti-terrorist ally.
After cultural/governmental liberal insanity has driven the country to the brink of self-fragmentation.
After Fedzilla eats everything up (but with the “best intentions”, of course).
I think a city in Iraq should be named after him since he FREED MILLIONS OF IRAQIS even when the critics told him not to.
I think they should build a new military base after him since he loved all military folks as though they were his own children.
I think a street in New York, close to where he met with all the victims’ families of 9-11, should be named after him.
I could go on and on…..but I think MM’s post was low and not very becoming of her.
Pres. Bush is not a perfect man, nor does he claim to be, but he did alot for people who had no other help. We have not been attacked on our soils since 9-11 and that has alot to do with him as our Commander-in-Chief.
So, yes MM, you go on and be a Grinch while I thank God He gave us a Pres. with a conscious, a Pres. who feared him and stood up for life instead of Planned Parenthood. I thank God he gave us a President who respected his marriage and showed us all how to have a successful marriage in the public eye.
I will spend my time thanking God for this man. I will miss him.
Merry Christmas to all.
Close – but Bush’s HELL Canyon is better… Hell’s Canyon is already appropriately named (except for the prefix) and is deeper and less appreciated by the general public.

How about The BUSH BORDER FENCE???
Hahahahhahahahhahhah
after all there’s more bushes there than fence……….
I think the most appropriate memorial to Bush would be a weapon system that is primarily used to battle terrorists.
I second The spaceman…sorry no time to read…….
You are not alone. Much as I hate to say it, President Bush made some mistakes. BIG ones. But he was right on many issues, and is a good man over all, lambasted in the press and media for every slightest stumble; rarely acknowledged for his great accomplishments. Hopefully history will vindicate him.
And yes – Merry Christmas everyone.
How about if all the CEOs, CFOs, fund managers, etc. named their children after George Bush? He seems to be one of their major benefactors.
In the case of AIG, the CEO should name all of his children and grandchildren George ala George Foreman
A military base or a warship
Granted he’s been a schlub about the bailout and the border but let’s not forget some of the good he has done by prosecuting the War on Terror and the Iraq war. So he deserves something along those lines
I have no ideas.
But, at least people are waiting until President George Bush actually DID something.
Unlike Barack HUSSEIN Obama, who’s done diddley squat, yet there are schools being named for him, people are proposing holidays, etc.
Bush tried hard and means well. I really believe that.
Anyway, John McCain can console himself that 2001-2009 was actually the equivalent of two terms of the McCain Presidency.
I have to agree with poster no. 8 (Artbyruth) to some extent in that MM, who I hold in high regard, did not come across well in this post.
I guess that many of us are frustrated in the waning days of the Bush administration. I remember reading someone’s comment elsewhere that Bush’s problem was that he spent more time being mayor of Baghdad than President of the United States. I have always been supportive of the Reconstruction effort (note that I did not use the term “war” effort, which I believe is improper) in Iraq, although I would have to admit that it has not always been properly administered. But I do fear that for all the good that may have been accomplished in Iraq, it has been at the expense of allowing the problems in the finance and mortgage sector in the U.S. to fester such that we face the economic difficulties that we do today.
That being said, I want to wish my fellow MM posters (even lgm and chapoutier) a most joyous Christmas and a prosperous 2009 (which will admittedly be a challenge with BHO in office).
I’m sure it will. He may be found to have been lacking in some areas, but his prosecution of the War on Terror was commendable.
Bush has been wrong about a lot of things that are important to us, but I have to give him credit for the war on terror. A military base or battleship would be appropriate.
If history is any guide, Jerry Ford, half term and never elected President, who became VP after Agnew resigned only because he had RINO tendencies and Democrat leaders in Congress told Nixon he was the only VP nomination they wouldn’t block, is getting an aircraft carrier.
One term failure Jimmy Carter, possibly the most incompetent chief executive to date, got a nuclear submarine instead of a carrier because he has been a submarine officer briefly, and one term President George HW Bush, has an aircraft named after him.
I served aboard the first ship ever named for a man not yet dead, a long time Georgia Democrat who earned the Navy’s devotion by never voting against a military budget. Fellow Georgia Democrat Jimmy Carter approved naming a ship after a living individual. Since then, others, like John Stennis, who have done nothing worthwhile but serve in one branch of Congress or the other, have had ships named for them while still alive.
If (and it is an if), Barack Hussein Obama ever agrees to fund another aircraft carrier, William J Jefferson will be high on the list of names.
I think it is BS naming ships after people still living, but it has been going on for three decades.
And let’s not forget justices Roberts and Alito (even given Bush’s unfortunate but brief dally with Harriet Meiers).
Only God knows what kind of damage future Obambi appointees will do on the Supreme Court.
Maybe approve renaming the country to the “United States of I’m Sorry”.
How about an official President GW Bush Institute for “How Not to Try to Make Friends and Influence Incompetent, Idiotic, Corrupt and Traitorous Liberals” Studies?
That’s would be the P.G.W.B.I.F.H.N.T.T.T.M.F.A.I.I.I.C.A.T.L.S. for short.
Here you go. . .biggest hole in the ground:

I consider myself chastised. Should have given more thought before posting, as some of you have. Thank you for some perspective. I would vote for Bush again if he had run instead of McCain. Would prefer 4 more years of Bush than the risk we face now.

MM,
I am strongly opposed to using public funds to rename anything that already has a name. However, if citizens can either find something new to name or can raise funds to pay for ALL operational and administrative costs in the renaming process, and vote to do this, I would not get in the way.
1) The Predator aircraft
2) Any city in Iraq
3) Any street in lower Manhattan
4) A tribute at the (eventual) rebuilding of the World Trade Center
5) A new anti-terror school at Joint Special Warfare Command
and finally:
6) The name on the building when the NYT finally goes into bankruptcy.
The George W. Bush Rio Grande.
The “W” stands for “Welcome to America, illegal aliens.”
How about changing the international borderline of the U.S.A. and Mexico to the George W. Bush demarcation line. We could put up a sign stating that it is just a line set up to let anyone who wishes to come here know that after crossing their benefits start and assurances to Mexico that it in no way impedes their sovereignity.
madmonk, you beat me to it by seconds….
Let’s name something in Iraq after him.
Put him on the mound. We already know he can throw a strike.
Let’s rename the Detroit Lions after Bush. They can be the Detroit W’s and their 0-15 record would be a perfect parallel to George Bush’s presidency.
Sorry, frontierguy.
Merry Christmas.
That is hard lad-and sadly all too true. From 1988 on we have had some really weak men as President-with Barack Hussein-Allah Be Praised-Obama we really do not know how bad it will be-but it will be bad.
So we Trust in our God and stand ready to defend the right and oppose the wrong.Kosovo-where we really should not have been involved. We fight jihadist in Iraq and Afganistan and help them build bases for the Caliphate in the Balkans.
Yes I too believe Bush tried hard and means well, I wish him well. But we must do better next time. President Bush TIRED to reach across that damn isle and what did it get him? Springsteen is releasing an album attacking him-this Nixon Frost movie is using a trailer super imposing a picture of President Bush over Nixon’s farewell wave-he is attacked continuously by the Left. So I must not-even if I have in the past.
We have an enemy-it is the Left; RINOs are their natural ally and must be marginalized. This Moderation-Can We All Get Along Nonsense is just that nonsense. We have a way of life, culture and future generations to protect. The Hell with weaklings.
Bush blundered big time on domestic spending, the bailout and border security, but trust me, in three or four years, after Obama and a one party Congress have remade America in Pelosi and Barney ‘Bum Burglar’ Frank’s image, you’ll wish he was back.
You’ll probably wish Bill Clinton was back.
Maybe even Jimmy Carter…
President Bush is a brave, honest, and caring man. I thank him for always acting on what he thought was best for our country.
Unfortunately, President Bush is not a very good judge of character, and he put trust in the guidance of people around him, some who were worthy of that trust, and others who were not.
President Bush trusted White House Counsel Harriet Miers, and she helped select Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito. I think those nominations will end up being the single biggest positive aspect of President Bush’s legacy.
President Bush trusted Henry Paulson, and when Treasury Secretary Paulson presented the President with a manufactured crisis, President Bush enabled a giant step towards Socialism and helped Democrats win the November elections. I think TARP will end up being the single biggest negative aspect of President Bush’s legacy. Everything positive that President Bush did for National Security was just undone by handing our government over to Democratic Socialist Communists.
It’s not just the Jihadists who are at war against us. It’s also the Communists.
President Reagan understood the Communist threat. President Bush never did. Remember when President Bush “looked into Putin’s soul”?
Like I said, President Bush is not a very good judge of character.
I love the man, but he is gullible…he trusts people who should not be trusted.
I don’t know… what monument do you name after a man who had the best of intentions, and a huge heart for God and his fellow man, but who inadvertently helped our enemies destroy us from within?
This get my vote! However, I do admit I am really really pissed at him right now for not pardoning the two border agents. He has done some good things during his presidency, and he should get credit for them. But there are a few really bad things that tarnish his legacy big time!
Well said.
Especially:
God help and protect us and our nation from the socialists/nihilists/statists.
(P.S.-preview not working.)
Anyone who has tried to have a civil, rational discussion with a liberal will understand that they are truly the enemy of our culture and the very future of this country. It is that serious.
Haven’t read all the comments yet, but how about Women’s University in Afghanistan?
I’ll have snarky suggestions later…
I nominate the national debt.
Bush 2000-2007: Mt. BushMore.
Bush 2008: Bush(Death) Valley, California.
Oh, and we should have the USS George W. Bush. Make it an Aircraft Carrier.
Correct.
I’ve believed that for some time now.
The socialists are
parasitespredators preying upon our nation/society/culture, much as the muslims have been upon the nations/socieies/cultures upon which they have preyed for the past 1400 years.Irreconcilable worldviews are just that…irreconcilable.
What part of “irreconcilable” cannot be understood?

Off topic, but not totally…I understand the Arnold S. is whining that California is broke and bleeding money like crazy. I haven’t heard one word about the fact that CA has millions of illegal aliens who are contributing little or nothing to the coffers, but are bleeding the social programs dry. Could that possibly be a reason for the financial difficulties? Nah…no one in the media has mentioned it, so it must not be an issue.
As do I. Thanks for the perspective everyone.
Actually I think they should name that new big unmanned bomber after him. The president that put high tech unmanned warfare into use. And made good use of it at that.
Having a ship named after you is sooo last century.

how about an outhouse? its time to flush bush.
How about we rename GITMO the George W. Bush Jihadi Detention Center, or Dubya for short!

Well, the USSR bankrupted the USSR, through socialism, central economic planning and the expense of maintaining their empire. When the US goes bankrupt, it will be for the exact same reasons, and Putin will have had nothing to do with it.
Ditto to you and tony the tiger.
As we celebrate the birth of our Lord and in keeping with the spirit of His grace, particularly toward me and my many sins, I will use this time of year to be grateful for the hard work of our sitting President and remember that we are all just human beings, trying to do what we think is best. He bears the weight of the world on his shoulders. God bless him. God bless us.
Merry Christmas, Everyone.
He should get credit, and probably will, for causing the shift in American politics to a three-party or multiple-party system.
Why? He’s the last in a long line of Presidents who bridged a gap between social-conservative and political issues.
I don’t think anyone in the future will cater to social-conservatives and run-of-the-mill right leaners.
There’s going to be a split (or three if you see how messed up the Dem’s internals are).
We’ll call it the Bush Split.
Couldn’t we aim just a little bit higher? Please?
Some looked into Mr Putin’s soul-I look into his eyes and see a New Century Joesph Stalin-have any been following Russia’s new Treason Laws? Yes I belive Ivan and Joesph have a new champion.
As the American Left found excuses for and Deified Stalin they will now find excuses for and Deify Putin.
Ezekiel 38 and 39
Just a Little Right Wing Paranoia for our Trolls. But Merry Christmas to them too.
Bush lost his way near the end with immigration and the economy.
His administration has had a constant barrage for the last 6 years from the MSM about how bad the economy was even when it was good. As with all economic cycles, the economy finally tanked and the MSM cheered their self-fulfilling prophecy coming to fruition.
Every natural disaster has been blamed on the man. The MSM – talk about nithering nabobs of negativity!
All in all, I thank God we had George W. Bush as President rather than Al “the bloviator” Gore, or John “Swift Boat” Kerry.
Bush took a stand on principle after 9/11 which is a rare move in politics these days. Now, I’m afraid, we’re back to the “hold your finger to the wind” Jimmy Carter type of principles and decision making.
That city can name their sewage treatment plant after George W. Bush if they want, but while they mean it to be negative, they should remember that its the sewage plant that cleans their filth from the drinking water.
Does the largest American sinkhole in the United States have a name? If not, it should be named in honor of Bush. Something like…
The Bushocrat Abyss
…would be appropriate. I know, some will not get the symbolism, although, most liberals will, since that’s what they’re in to.
Merry Christmas all!
I wish I could come up with something witty and sophisticated in response to Michelle’s request but I can’t. Perhaps in the spirit of the “advanced” socialist countries of the prior century, the state of which we are now rapidly careening towards, we could instead do everything possible to expunge all trace of the man. The years of Bush the II would be a lost period in our history of which future scholars could speculate but no one would know for sure (”Who could it be who said this? Who was it who did that?”). Like Shelley’s poem about Ozymandius, we would look upon the waste of those years and experience a deep despair but future generations would be unable to name the president or party that was in power for most of those years.
Come to think of it, after eight years of God-Emperor Obamugabe and his re-education camps, that may in fact be the result.
I think a landmark for Bush should be Area 51, Top Secret and hidden from the public.
Seriously, though:
The Progreso/Nuevo Progreso International Bridge
connecting Mexico and Texas. The Bush Amnesty Bridge.
Yeah, that might happen. Pigs might fly, too.
The Statue of Liberty, with this quote:
“Bring us your illegals, and we will support them.”
I find this entire thread utterly disgusting. None of us have the right to treat President Bush in the manner I see him treated for the most part in these posts. Frankly you are spoiled whiners.
One can only imagine the crushing responsibility of his office. Have you ever had to go to a hospital and visit a 19 year old who has had his body ripped apart because you ordered him into harm’s way? How about visiting the young female with a severe head wound and burns? You ridicule a man who has had to bear that ?
Well George Bush has had to bare that. You honor the people who served; well honor the man who bore the burden of sending kids to their deaths for you. He’s also had to visit with parents and widows and their children. You sit in safety and 50 million people who never lived in freedom before have it because that man did his job every day for 2,922 days. You do not see Bush vacationing in a 30 million dollar resort. You do not see him astronomically increasing his wealth because of his PUBLIC SERVICE.
Bush has been a PUBLIC SERVANT and he is a patriot.
Yes, I disagree with the bailouts, the border, the drug benefit and probably a dozen other things. However, George W. Bush is a moral, decent man who has suffered and endured more than we will ever know on our behalf. And I for one am grateful for it as are the people of Kosovo.
Michelle, you need to pull this entire post immediately. I also think you owe the President a written apology. This “name something after Bush” is what I would expect to see on Huffington Post or Daily Kos.
If you find my comments too harsh and wish to remove my privilidges from this site that is your prerogative.
Hoooah Mr. President. Hoooah.
Maybe so, but you do see him astronomically decreasing our wealth because of his PUBLIC SERVICE.
Well, let’s see. You say we mustn’t criticize Bush. Liberals and some pseudo-cons say we dare not criticize Obama. Not much left is there? Other than Putin and the weather.
Okay everybody. The word has come down. Go home, shut up, and count your blessings, if not your coins.

Actually, this is a good idea–and a very apt metaphor for his Presidency. Protective (to the extent that it has been built, parallel to anti-terrorism), with good intentions (yep), more effective when it’s stronger (the way the surge worked); a target to all who hate the project or architect (socialists, pro-anmesty, and BDS people); fiendishly expensive, although cheaper than the alternatives proposed by “the elite”.
Flyoverman, you’re not alone. There are a few others of us here who see the good that Bush has done, and have expressed our thoughts of good wishes and gratitude.
Take Heart!
Merry Christmas.
Say what you want about the man but at least G.W. Bush gave back the presitige and honor to the office of the POTUS which it rightfully deserved. Given the political climate of today, I’ll vote for him again, considering all the alternatives that’s out there.
Michelle, I’m one of your biggest fan but on this issue I have to disagree with you. That being said, a Merry Christmas to All and May Peace Reign on Earth in our lifetime.
The Bureau of Printing and Engraving Bldg at 14th & C St SW in Wash., DC should be renamed the GWB Money Printing Plant or at least name one printing press after him. After all, they will now have to print 24/7 to keep up with the bailout demand.
I think some of GWB’s legacy will be treated kind by history, but having a Republican controlled Congress to make positive change and blowing the opportunity will be the negative part of his legacy.
They (Bush & Congress) could have gotten rid and fixed much of the liberal crapola from the Carter and Clinton Years, but blew it.
They’re saving that for Bernanke.
flyoverman, I appreciate your sentiment, and perhaps all of us would feel better about Bush if 2008 never happened. We did not desert him, he deserted us. He made it possible for a socialist, Obama, to get it into the White House. He should have fired Paulson.
The best reward for a RINO like Bush is to suffer the ignonomy of being forgotten by Americans until his name becomes synonymous with Obscurity.
Darn it, Michelle, you keep luring me back in here with these nicknaming deals. I’ll bite yet again with a typically feeble response.
I still think Bush was a much better alternative than Gore or Kerry. Even so, the Alamo could be renamed “The George W. Bush Forgotten Alamo.” The Alamo can also be symbolic of the damage done to conservatism since he’s taken office.
Remember the Alamo.
If I’m not back later, Merry Christmas to Michelle and to the rest’a you’s and yours.
I’ll keep my “Thank You, President Bush” yard sign in my front yard, and my “W Thank You” bumper sticker on my car. I owe my family’s safety for the past 7+ years to him and to Dick Cheney, and I am grateful to them.
I am afraid we will miss them the first time an American city is hit…do you have a countdown going on that, Michelle? It shouldn’t take long for our enemies to “try” this young new president, per his VP Biden.
Bush let us down with the immigration issues but I wonder what Gore or Kerry would have done with it and what they would have done with the war on terror. For the life of me I have not had one lefty tell me since 2004 what Kerry would do different in Iraq. The question is still open and by Kerry not explaining himself had helped him go down to defeat.
Can we name it the Bush ‘Bailout to Nowhere’?
Or we can memorialize Cheney’s “Undisclosed Location” after Bush.
President Bush deserves our undying gratitude. We wouldn’t have a good enough economy to have a recession if he had not had such a steady hand on the tiller after 9/11. Think of the billions (trillions?) of dollars in damages and loss to the US economy by the attacks which were egged on by the Adulterer-in-Chief, and George Bush had them land on his plate like a really huge cow puffy. He didn’t blindly strike back with a puny cruise missile attack – he liberated 50 million people! At least half of these are of the female persuasion, so GWB has been the most potent and successful agent for Women’s Rights in the history of mankind.
I am tired of MM demeaning this man at every turn. Yes, he has made some mistakes. But we would still be negotiating with the freakin’ Taliban if Albert Gore had managed to steal the election. And he would have been fighting Global Warming, not terrorism, in his term or two as President. Get some balance.
I love George Bush, and will greatly miss him and Dick Cheney. The main street in every Iraqi and Afghan city should be President George W. Bush Boulevard, or Vice President Richard Cheney Boulevard. And I agree with an earlier poster that when the NYT finally goes out of business, their building should be renamed the George W. Bush Institute for Women’s Rights and Developing Democracies.
We have a groupie!!!!
(Take that and shove it in your giblets Kos)
Oh come on you bush supporters. Michelle, correct as usual. Bush deserves nothing more thatn the scorn he receives. He is no conservative. Fine, I will give him the repsonse to the 9/11 attack and terrorists. But that is it. He not only supported amnesty, he chastitised anyone opposed to it as racists. He spent more $ on entitlements and gov’t growth than any recent president. He is now wrecking the free economic system with all these bailouts by looting the treasury and American taxpayers. WTH is wrong with you supporters? Call a spade a spade for goodnes sakes. BUSH SUX and left the once conservative republican party in tatters. Anyone who continues to defend this idiot is going to get everything they deserve form his legacy. Not to mention, you are the same people who scolded the dems for everyhtign they did wrong, but are incapable of seeing the harm bush did? Hypocrites!!! And please spare me the “obummer will be worse” crap. He most likely will be worse, but at least he has not yet proven his incompetence like bush.
I’m for naming the NAFTA “superhighway” from Mexico to Canada “GW Bush Boulevard.”
The Bush apologists need to sit back and think about their effusive praise of the man. He did not “save” us after 9/11; our military did! Likewise, he spouted brave words, thus “uniting” the country, after which he went back on damn near all of them.
He may be a decent man, but when it comes to actually putting America first, he’s been dumb as a post.
Saying he’s better than Al Bore or JFK II would have been — a point about which I agree — is no praise, merely an acknowledgment that the Dems ran, and continue to run, the most unbelievably bad choices for the presidency.
We deserved better. We still do. Enough with lackluster morons in the White House! I pray that we can replace Osama Obama with someone who understands the Constitution and cares more for the needs of Americans than he does assorted foreigners.
Weary citizen, would you have any ideas how Gore or Kerry would have handled Amnesty, entitlements? I would love to know how they would handle such issues and Iraq also. I realize how you and fellow conservatives are sadden by Bush’s rhinoism and a true clear conservative leader doesn’t seem to be out there yet. If one does come on the scene you can bet the ranch that the MSM will try to destoy he or she as in the same fashion as Sarah Palin.
Rename Mexico, Bushland..
I tend to agree. Bush was the right man for the time.
Maybe a Bush Plaza at the new Trade Center…if it’s ever built.
We should now keep presidents as far away from the economy as possible. Heck, we should keep CONGRESS as far away as possible.
Naming rights; Save the flight 93 Crescent Memorial for B Hussein.
By the way, what is going on with the crescent in PA?
Michelle?
Maybe a Friday story?
MrScribbler -
Bush DID save us after 9/11. I lived in Saudi Arabia, 2 miles from the Khobar Towers, and when it was blown up, the blast shook my house. We listened to The Zipper give his empty promises, condemning those cowardly acts in the strongest possible terms yadda yadda, vowing to bring those responsible to justice. Well, it never happened. It would not have happened if Clinton had been President for 4 more terms. The man had no huevos, only words.
I used to sit on our front porch in Saudi Arabia when Clinton would decide to retaliate with an air strike at something in Iraq after Saddam fired on those patrolling the No Fly Zone. We’d watch the fighter jets go out in fives and sixes on afterburner, and then Clinton would change his mind after the planes were in the air, and call them back. Most of them had to land still carrying their ordnance. The bastard put our troops in great danger, landing with all the bombs still on the wings, rather than make a decision and stick with it.
Bush didn’t say much, but he did beat the $#!+ out of the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and Saddam. That was what Clinton was obligated to do, but he just kicked the ball down the field and let a real leader do the work.
Eyes Roll……. Are you serious.
Bush has been a dichotomy of reason since day one: Half the time I support him and half the time I hate him. Instead of being decisive he has done everything he could be to “fair” then he turns around and we have the Ramos nd Compean situation. Until they are freed I have no use for the man, but I still respect the office.
Having said that, in honor of the position he has held I agree that the park at ground zero should be named after him or a portion of it at the least. As President the year following 9/11 he was “presidential” and then some. He had to rebuild the military and intelligence agencies and did it in record time. He followed protocol and worked the UN system and for seven years we have been relatively “safe”–unfortunately we have no clue what has come across either the southern or northern border–yet.
Merry Christmas, as my son says “peace out”.
I read all about ACORN and Obama, but I was totally unaware that George Bush personally stuffed all of those Republican primary ballot boxes with McCain votes and then subsequently directed McCain’s pathetic campaign.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.
And we accuse the Left of BDS? Hmmm must be contagious.
Agreed, 100%.
Huge heart, tons of guts, the utmost respect for the office of POTUS, but never-the-less a gullible soul, always trying VERY hard to see the value in every American, worthy or not.
God bless George, and I thank him for his service.
Note to George: new tone is a bad idea in this present world of politics.
Federal Reserve. Due to the debt we are in.

Flyoverman -
Well said. I thought I’d read the entire thread before I posted, but somehow missed yours until now. I agree wholeheartedly with your disgust for this thread.
Have you noticed that Obama can’t come up with a viewpoint on anything for at least two days? Even when Georgia was overrun by Russia, all he could come up with was that everyone should just use restraint. That’s like me hitting you in the nose, and a third party tells us both to just calm down, while your nose is bleeding and I’m feeling ever so much better for having gotten a chance to punch you without repercussions. I don’t believe that man has thought deeply about anything except himself and his rise to fame, fortune and power. That is going to matter when the crap starts flying, as it absolutely will do. Obama is not up to this job, but his election is not the fault of George Bush. It is the fault of the MSM who would not do their job, and it was financed by Obama’s campaign being willing to accept illegal donations by the truckload.
Well, we’re going to learn the hard way that George Bush took this job seriously, and has used his best judgment whether we think it’s good or not. He is not an opportunist, and Obambi is. I am afraid George Bush will be sorely missed in a few months. Give the man a break, MM.
