[...] Me, I think that while President Bush never did find a first-rate Secretary of State, kept incompetents on the federal payroll too long (remember Mike Brown?) and can only be called “conservative” in relation to people like Al Gore and Dennis Kucinich, fair-minded historians will not be able to tag him as our “worst president ever,” because that title still belongs very much to Jimmy Carter. It’s faint praise, to be sure, but praise, nonetheless. And Bush deserves more besides. In spite of its mistakes, the Bush presidency was consequential, as well as principled. [...]

jmtfh – good idea – can someone pass my message on?

Dear President George W. Bush,

Mr. President, sometimes you seemed trying to many of us, but none can say that you ever stopped trying to be President for all of us.

May history treat you as kindly and generously as you tried (sometimes all too generously) to treat us.

My best wishes for you and your dear wife, Pretty Book Lady, to have a long retirement of joy and peace together.

And, sir, may we meet some day before His throne to take directly of His love forever.

Grateful son of God, Church and America,
Warren Jewell

“We know we’re never going to have another American administration as supportive of our core issues as the Bush administration has been.”

Maybe so, but then again, maybe *not*. Keep an eye on Louisiana’s governor, Bobby Jindal.

Ditto to everyone above. I hope Mr Bush knows of all who appreciate his work…..but then, he probably doesn’t need the adulation.

I respect the man despite some policy differences with him I’ve had…..God speed, Sir.
