A Patriot

After hearing several interviews recently with former President Bush, I realized how blessed we were to have a man of such dedication and integrity as our president for eight years. He is a true patriot.

President Bush had to make many tough decisions in the days after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. His new book, "Decision Points," talks about what went into those decisions. What impresses me most about Bush is that he based his decisions on the best interests of the country.

He wasn't concerned about what his critics or the media thought. He was only concerned with protecting the country and our interests.

President Bush said one of the toughest decisions he had to make was the decision to go to war. He knew the lives of American soldiers would be put in danger. That weighed heavily on him. He truly cared about the troops and their families, and he still does. It was a tough decision, but it was the right decision. America hasn't had another attack.

I'm glad George Bush was president during that tumultuous time in our nation's history. He is a man of great integrity.

Contrast that with the arrogance and incompetence of Barack Obama. Can you imagine if Obama had been president then? It could have been disastrous for the country. Obama clearly is in over his head now. He doesn't know what he's doing.

Obama doesn't have any leadership experience. He hasn't run a state or even a city. The only thing he knows how to run is his mouth... and he needs a teleprompter to do that. Obama only looks out for himself and his own interests. He doesn't care about what's best for the country.

That's why George W. Bush will go down as one of America's greatest war-time presidents, while Obama will simply be a one-term failure.
