Thank you, President Bush. Thank you for standing up for the United States and dealing with the worst attack on American soil in years with confidence, grace, and determination.
Thank you for vowing to defend and protect our nation to the best of your knowledge, facing public disdain and hatred in the process. Thank you for being pre-emptive and attempting to reach the core of the problem before it potentially reached us.
Thank you for keeping taxes low for all. Thank you for understanding the need for Americans to keep their money and use it how they want.
Mr. President, during your time in office you have faced many challenges but have dealt with them in a way like few others could. You have faced criticism with your head held high, never wavering from your values and striving to make America a safer place for all of us.
So thank you, President Bush. While history and people may see otherwise, know a few realize and appreciate the effort you put forth to make the United States, and the world, a better place to live.
President Barack Obama, you, too, have many challenges ahead of you. The nation awaits your first actions as the leader of this country. While you deserve respect as the commander in chief, I can only hope you that you realize that keeping this nation safe is your No. 1 priority.

Great article
It's always good to know that not everyone has been brainwashed to hate President Bush. The country was extremely indifferent about Lincoln emerging America into the Civil War. Today, however, he is seen as our greatest president. History will judge President Bush differently, just as it did Lincoln.
A job well done
Ms. Hodges,
Thanks' for reminding your readers of how President Bush has kept us safe and made the tough calls to go on the offensive to deliver a crippling blow to the terrorists that prevented them from killing more Americans here on our land.
President Bush admitted to some mistakes but there can be no doubt that history will note how he took to heart the oath of the presidency ..."to protect this country from enemies foreign and domestic". He did his duty and did it well, so I join you in thanking Mr. Bush.
I can only hope that our new president, if faced with the choice of popularity or national security, will have the same character to choose the later.
