Look what inspired me to start-up my blog, President Bush’s last press conference! I voted for President Bush because I wanted our country to be safe from terror events and you know what folks, the goal was met. Say what you will but  in my opinion, America was safer because the rest of the world knew President Bush meant business and a lot of evil-doers feared him. President Bush, like all humans, is far from perfect but he is a good man and I think history will reveal this. Two areas in which I remain critical of the Bush administration is the slow response following Hurricane Katrina and Iraq.

Iraq was a mistake in many ways. I supported the initial action. I cheered when Saddam, his sons and others were brought down. I did not cheer their demise but I cheered the end to their ugly power. I can remember my mother saying, “This is going to be like another Vietnam.”  As for the slow response to Katrina, it was a national disgrace and there is no excuse.

As for the recession, I believe President Bush did indeed inherit it. I disagree with his critics who have much to say about his “bail-out”. Again, President Bush did what he thought was best for our country. He like many of us did not want to see the recession turn into a depression. If you want to read viewpoints from his critics head on over to Malkin’s site for a good earful. I wish President Bush and his family all the best and I thank them for their service to our country and to our critics – America is a great land isn’t that why so many people want to come and live here?
