Me either
A former US Cavalry soldier has penned a beautiful tribute to President George W. Bush and a simultaneously stunning reprimand of current President Barack H. Obama.
He’s right, of course.
For all his faults and foibles President Bush was a man who wore his heart on his sleeve and obviously bled red, white and blue. President Bush desperately poured himself out in an effort to meet the needs of our servicemen and women. Meanwhile, President Obama travels the world apologizing for our nation and seemingly criticizing the American people at every turn. The difference between the two Presidents is night and day, and the comparison does nothing but shed light on the darkness that has been the Obama presidency.
“14 years ago, I had a President who was certainly neither the brightest crayon in the box nor the most eloquent.
He didn’t fill everyone’s ears with shit they wanted to hear. He made mistakes, as all leaders do, but he owned up to them.
14 years ago, I had a President who made me proud to take the Oath of Enlistment.
14 years ago, I had a President who shared the sorrow of the nation instead of blaming the nation for the heinous deeds of others.
14 years ago, I had a President who never let the people forget he was one of them, instead of setting himself aside and higher than the people he swore to serve.
14 years ago, I had a President who was proud to be an American and who shared that pride with the people.
Today, I have an eloquent but petulant schoolchild pretending to be a leader.
On the worst day in American history since Pearl Harbor, I had a President who told the world that America will not bow down.
Today, I have a charlatan snake oil salesman who bows to my enemies.
But 14 years ago, I had a President.”
