Treatment of Bush has been a disgrace

[dekeguy]

One of President Bush's great strengths is his steadfast loyalty to those he entrusts with responsibility. One of his shortcomings is his steadfast loyalty to those he entrusts with responsibility. He has always stood up for the the guy who gets picked on and can't defend himself. He always takes responsibility for all that his people do or fail to do. The drawback is that he is a very nice guy who does not make anyone take the fall. He protects those he places on the hotseat whether they deserve it or not.
So much of the good and positive that he has done has been unreported or distorted. He is not the most articulate and polished speaker but he has guts and honor. As has been said in this thread, he may not have really wanted to be POTUS, but like Cincinnatus he was there to stand up and be counted when it really mattered.
He made some mistakes - Gee whiz, I didn't know he was supposed to be perfect. I thought he was supposed to give it his best shot.
I admire George W. Bush for his courage, his humanity, his willingness to take the heat and keep us safe while there were many who wanted to do us ill and many of us who seemed ready to undermine our president rather than work with him as a 'loyal opposition'. The impartial muse of History will treat him well.
Whoever occupies the office I will respect and support that person because he is the president chosen by us the American people. I respect and admire George W. Bush because he himself is worthy of respect.
