Farewell #43

This morning I find myself reflecting on the George W. Bush years. George W. Bush, notably one of the most hated people of my time, who was forced to make unpopular decisions, costing him perhaps his legacy. After September 11, American’s finally allowed George W. to be THEIR President.

Shortly after, with his unpopular decision to go to war, people began lambasting him for not only that decision, but everything going wrong in the world today. President Bush is a true leader, he made choices to keep America safe, and keep America safe is what he did. He was a patriot, a hero, and a good man, and for these things I am forever grateful.

While I may not like the policies that Obama supports, I have a respect for the Office of the President, even more after I fought for people to respect the Office of the President during George Bush’s reign as the 43 Commander-in-Chief. Therefore, I welcome President Obama, and wish him the best, as my American President.

    I also have great respect for the Office
    of the President. My fear is that Office
    may be userped by one not have that respect who is constitutionally inellible to hold the Office. Our US Supreme Court has actually distributed a case for full hearing before all nine Justices tommorrow on just this issue. Please look at the following website:
