Admin On My Way To Wanna Be

January 21st, 2009 by Admin

This is a great video tribute to the man I truly admire. Many of you may not agree with me and that's your right to do so. However, I won't allow negative comments on this post. So, just be nice and respectful if you are capable. If not, I have no use for you.

The song is by James Hooker.

      There's the David I know and love. I recently wrote an email to our local radio station that stated a few good things about Bush and a few bad things.

      Then I wrote a few good things about Obama and few bad things.

      If more people could see past their own BDS and recognize the good in this man, this country would be in a much better place.

    I truly admire Pres. and Laura Bush. Like David said, I didn't agree with every decision he made, but I never doubted that he did what he believed was right for our country.

    I,(we) too, truly admire this man! I sooo wish, somehow, he and his family could know how many of us out here feel this way! Wishing him and his family much deserved R&R, peace, respect and Godspeed.
    So glad to see this great video, thanks for posting CJ.

    CJ,
    Thank You so much for posting this! I really admire President Bush as well. He is a man of integrity and so loves his fellow man and especially the troops. He had some very hard choices to make after 9/11 and he went after the terrorists where they were with the help of you guys and gals in the armed forces of course. Thank You guys so much for your dedication to the protection of this great country of ours!

    Godspeed President Bush! Many of us out here love and respect you and your family very much and Thank You for your service to our country! We will miss your smiling face and the many ways you were so upbeat!

    Thanks for sharing. When an objective history is written President George W. Bush will be in there with the great presidents.

    I've listened to this song about a dozen times over the past couple of days and watched that video.

    Just lovely.

    I hope President Bush has a good retirement and he and Mrs. Bush get to just enjoy life now. He's served this nation enough. Time to be a citizen and enjoy his free and safe life that he worked so hard to preserve.

    He may have misstepped here and there and I surely got aggravated with him at times, but in the end, he put this nation first and never wavered in his conviction that our military and our nation deserved every sacrifice he could give. Even his reputation and all the disdain heaped upon his time in office.

    That right there gets my respect and admiration.

    Good luck, Mr. President, and thank you for your service.

    Thank you
    Every time I get mad at Mr. bush
    It doesn't last. His farewell speech
    in Texas was a reminder to me why
    I prayed so hard for his re-election
    I know Mr. and Mrs. Bush Love America

    Great retrospective. I wish Mr. Bush and his family well, and I hope they get some well-deserved rest.

    Well Done, Well Said, Thank You

  13. Jan says:

    Thank you for your website, your service to our country and the courage to stand up for a man who did what he thought was right for his country! I certainly don't agree with all of President Bush's policies but I admire him for having the courage to make tough, unpopular decisions. I know he loves God, his country and our military. (as I do) I didn't vote for Obama, but I pray for him all of our leaders and military daily. God knows they need it! Thanks again for such a wonderful and inspiring website!

  14. Mary says:

    I dunno, I like the video. Not agreeing with a prez every single time goes without saying, at least I hope it it. Overall, his actions were good and mightily outweigh the things that annoyed me here and there.I'm glad I supported this guy with my inconsequential little California vote…twice.

  15. Jason says:

    Great video! It's time we show thanks to americas former president!

    I'm running the official thank you letter to president Bush at ThankW.com

    What a lovely tribute to one of the most unfairly maligned presidents in our history. He is in good company: Lincoln and Truman suffered the same indignities. How hard it is for a man of principle and integrity to also be popular in a nation where these values are so easily discarded. Those who poured their ridicule and venom out against this honorable man should hang their heads in shame.

  18. Southpaw says:

    Wow! awesome…have to keep telling myself "grown men don't cry."

  19. Rick LaTurner says:

    The video made me choke up. What a good and decent man. We won't have the likes of him again anytime soon.

  20. Carole Staebler says:

    God bless President Bush. I miss him already. He always had a smile and was upbeat, even with the weight of the world on his shoulders. He had God in his heart to get him through the tough times. I always felt safe knowing he was protecting our country. May he enjoy a happy and peaceful retirement with his family. He deserves it.

  21. indiemonic says:

    Nice, touching video. Thank you for sharing. More power to you and Pres. Bush.

  22. Bill Zerbe says:

    Thank you for a reminder of what a good and decent man Mr. Bush is!

  23. Elaine says:

    wow, so beautiful, I watch this video three times. So beautiful, sweet. Big Girls don't cry, after watching this video, can't help but CRY.

  24. Marty says:

    I think there are many people who would have loved to cheer for President Bush at the Republican Convention, and were disappointed that they didn't get their chance, and other of us disappointed not to see him be honored the way he deserves.
