Farewell President George W. Bush...
Tomorrow we will all say goodbye to the man who has led this country now for the past eight years. There are many people who have mixed feelings about President Bush or how America and the world will remember his legacy. I personally believe President Bush was not a bad President as everyone seems to think. His time in office will undoubtedly be marked by September 11th, the Wars on Terror and Iraq, and Hurricane Katrina. I think it's important to remember September the 11th occurred just 7 months into Bush's first term. Looking back from then till now we all wanted revenge, we all felt fear, we all wanted war. Bush kept us on the offensive and acted quickly and decisively against our enemies. Although I may not agree with how the wars were fought towards the end of his presidency, I do believe we had valid causes and reasons to fight the wars in the first place. After September the 11th we foiled over 20 different other terror plots against our country...mere coincidence? I don't think so. Bush kept us on the offensive and was aggressive in attacking our enemies and defending our country. Were we attacked again after September 11th? No. And as for Hurricane Katrina kicking off Bush's second term in office...he responded quickly with urgency. For people out there to believe the Bush administration didn't do as much as they could to help the people of New Orleans, that is completely insane. Those people were warned COUNTLESS times to get out and they chose to stay...so that's Bush's fault? No. Overall I have a hard time with all the Bush bashers out there who don't truly appreciate what the man had to go through and all that he did for our country. I will truly miss President Bush and bid him a very fond farewell...

He might also be remembered as quick to duck from a flying shoe! I will always remember September 11th and the confusion that followed. Bush certainly didn't have an easy ride. I don't think the next president in office is going to have an easy ride either. :(
