GWB second term

I can accept some aren't pleased with GWB having a second term. I understand how frustrated they feel. I recall my emotions when Bill got re-elected too. But, I got past it in a couple of days, (not months or years). Let the chips fall where they may, (and they will). We now see a President who loves and respects his spouse, feels an abiding need to honor his parents, clearly adores his daughters and is willing to subject himself to public criticism for his convictions. It is refreshing NOT to be hearing about this affair, that affair, this scandal and that scandal. To publicly humiliate your spouse and family is awful. How painful for them? George isn't perfect, no doubt. I am sure that he has had his private moments that he would like to keep private. "All have sinned and fall short of God's glory." But I have noticed the Republicans, (in my circles), don't hold GWB up as "Savior", only a crusader. I admire GWB for his conviction. If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. As an American, I was mortified and embarrassed about having a horney sex addict President. But also as an American, I was pleased that he entered eastern Europe to stop the tyrant sladering Serbs. The premiss is the same in Iraq, though more difficult. Remember the quote.... "Divide and conquer." We need to remain united in order to remain strong, to remain "The city on the hill". I plead with those on the other side of the isle, to come together and begin positive improvements for our greater good? In four years we'll go through an election again and change can be done once more, (for either party). Now that he's swore in, we cannot "undo" this election. Can we just move forward and seek a positive direction? A fellow American, NOT just a Republican, SC

Well said!!!

Sally, Going after GWB's policies is what will bring about positive improvements for this country. There is nothing that he has done that deserves any praise. Sure, he's faithful to his wife. I'll let her praise him for that. He loves his daughters. I'll let them praise him for that. He honors his parents--ok..... But that's not what makes a President. We have serious problems in this country. We have huge deficits, a large population of unemployed or under-employed, a large population of uninsured or under-insured, we have alienated our allies, we have been lied to about why our children are being sent to fight a war, and we are now facing budget cuts that will eliminate programs for things like drug-free schools, grants for communities to hire more police and huge slices to Medicaid. None of the positive things you mentioned about this President address any of these problems. I don't care about what kind of MAN Bush is. He can answer to God for that. What he has to answer to me, and you, and everyone else in this country is this: what kind of President is he? He is a miserable failure.
