It was typical Bush speech, simple and clear.
We say thank you to Pres. Bush.
Thank you for keeping this country safe.
Why do I think that Bush will look better with time?
Rick Moran has an interesting post:
"For good or ill, George Bush will be remembered as a consequential president whose footprint will affect presidents’ policies far into the future.
Witness Barack Obama keeping many of his foreign policies – even ones he criticized during the campaign.
Right or wrong, those policies cannot be easily tossed aside or, even more surprisingly, Obama found upon being briefed that the policies were sound and correct after all.
This is true to a large extent of Iraq.
Our withdrawal under Obama will differ only at the margins from Bush’s plan."
In a couple of years, Obama is going to look a lot like Bush, specially on the issue of national security. Also, Obama will learn just how complicated these issues are.
Last, but not least, I'm impressed with Bush's demeanor. He looks comfortable and totally happy with himself. He is gracious and elegant.
Thank you Pres. Bush! We welcome you back to Texas. Hope to see you at a Rangers' game!
