George W. Bush, Winner
Friends, Americans, conservatives; lend me your ears. I come to praise George W. Bush, not to bury him; I'll leave that to our famously unbiased media. Now that the eight years of his presidency have come to an end, there will surely be endless shovels of dirt dumped on the legacy of our 43rd president, some even heaved by our brethren on the right; but not here. I come instead not to speak specifically of his accomplishments or his errors, but of the man himself.
Love him or hate him, you can't help but think that despite a rambunctious youth, this man was raised right.
...we can and should admire the aspects of his character that not only saw the nation through the dark days after 9/11, but restored a measure of dignity to what had been an Office marred Impeachment and irresponsibility.
George W. Bush is one of the few powerful men in the world to recognize that homicidal brutes like those in Al Qaeda must be met not only with force of arms, but a steadfast resolve equal to or greater than their own. All the spinning in the world by his enemies cannot change the fact that this is what has kept our country safe from attack these last seven years.
This is a man who endured countless savage attacks on himself and those of his administration, and spoke not one bitter word in return. A man who, in stark contrast to his predecessor, cared not a whit about public opinion when it came to our national defense, trusting instead that future historians will do what their current counterparts refuse; to treat him fairly.
So this is the message to our liberal friends in the media: you didn't beat this president, he beat you. You and your allies in Washington failed time and again to take this good man down. Indeed, he was elected and re-elected despite your historic efforts to the contrary.
And this is his legacy: that this man did precisely what the President of the United States is sworn to do.
