Missing George Bush?
Commenter Mickey NTH is:
"Yeah, I miss him. He was decent and normal. He was an alcoholic that hit the wall and pulled himself out. He had tasted failure and knew what it was, he had lain awake in the dark watches of the little hours when all that is good in you shrivels, and all you can hear in your mind is the jeering."He had all of the advantages and nearly went Full Kennedy; and then he pulled out of that dive, corrected the spin, and climbed for altitude.
"Perhaps his days in an F-102 - an aircraft that I would not wish on my greatest foe - came to him. Perhaps it was Laura who pulled him back. Perhaps it was the examples of his parents - if you wanted Ward and June Cleaver in the White House you got it with G.H.W. and Barbara.
"I don't know, but somewhere he found that inner core of decency and followed it. Sort of like old Queen Elizabeth II - just fundamentally decent at the core, where it counts."

Your Say
I appreciated the expression "Full Kennedy." I think that should be added to the dictionary.

Now that is insight and comment worth blaring aloud over the Big Public Address System of the country. W was a very decent Man who led us all where we feared to go, and got us out of bad situations with our Honor and Integrity intact. When he said he would do something on behalf of the country, he did it.
The contrast could not be more stark in the situation we currently find ourselves suffering through.
George W Bush was a True Leader, and I miss him every damn day since his exit from Washington.
