A Tribute to an Under-Appreciated President

This here is a tribute to the greatest president of my lifetime.  A man who carried himself with great dignity, humility, and upright character.  A man who, not even a year into his presidency, was thrown into a tragedy that would define the rest of his presidency.  He chose a path that would bode great conflict domestically and abroad; a path that was the right path to take.

A great thing about this president is that not only did he make the right decisions and do what was right for our country, he did it whilst being criticized by the mass media and many politicians.  He was not well loved coming out of his presidency, but now that the dust has settled from the dirt clods hurled at him from all sides, people are starting to realize that “Hey, we didn’t have it so bad after all.”  No, we didn’t have it so bad, we had it pretty darn good.  Was he perfect?  Nope.  Did he make some mistakes? Of course.  But did he own up to those mistakes and take the blame like a man?  YES.  Time may remember him for his lack-luster speaking skills, or it may remember him for his great policies and how he kept Americans safe, it’s up in the air.  I will do my part to make sure a few people remember him for what he truly was, a strong leader and a great man.

I’m talking about one George W. Bush.  A president that people may one day recognize as a great man and president.  A president that perhaps people will stop blaming for their problems (my sons a brat, it’s Bush’s fault!). A president that tried to move away from big government, all while dealing with terrorist threats and appeasing the Left.   A real president of the REAL U.S.A.

It’s about time we see the same from our present administration.
