President Bush Prepares to Leave

President Bush is getting ready to leave office and is putting aside an hour a day for photo's, etc. with Executive Office Staffers and their families. He is starting to say his goodbyes. However, it seems all one hears at this point in time is how he was the worst President ever. Please take this into consideration:

• No other President in American History has had to deal with such a massive attack against Americans, on American soil and the United States of America. It is unimaginable to think that almost 3,000 people lost their lives, not counting those who severely injured or who will suffer lung problems, etc.
• Hurricane Katrina was the costliest and one of five deadliest hurricanes and that happened on President Bush's watch as well.
• That President Bush had two wars going on at the same time in history.
• A failing Economy.

Just think about it for a minute to two. Try to remember seeing the planes crash into the World Trade Center. Do you remember the Pentagon in flames and Flight 93 that crashed while passengers averted what could have been a huge catastrophy if the terrorists had succeeded.

During that time, everyone looked up to President Bush and now it seems no one can say anything good about him. I find it odd that this country can blame a President for any and all things that is wrong even if it is totally unreasonable. And the hatred seems so rampant as he leaves office.

What it really comes down to is this. We live in a free country and elect leaders that we believe will lead our city, state, country, etc. Shouldn't all our leaders be held accountable? Weren't our Mayor's, Congress, Senators elected by the people of this great Country and isn't it their job to serve the people? I guess when I look at it, it is my opinion that most of our leaders failed. They all have big promises and state what they are going to do, but one must remember there is not one person in Congress and one person in the Senate, etc. If they don't work together we all fail and that the finger pointing needs to stop and our elected official need to look at themselves and why they are where they are. I believe this is lost as many politicians make this their lifelong job forgetting about why they were elected.

I truly believe that as time goes on History will be kind to President Bush, what he faced during his time in office and how he lead this country.
