The differences between George W.
Bush and our now President Obama never cease to amaze me.
I certainly don't think that everything Bush did was the correct path to take, especially in issues of a financial and of an economic nature, but over all, his pluses far outweigh his negatives.
and I feel he was the right guy at the right time.
I especially admire President Bush for his stand on national security, he went ahead in spite of opposition from the left and implemented policies and procedures that have kept us safe for over ten years.
For that difficult task alone he should be praised.
Following the precedent set by George Washington and adhered to, by almost every president since, (except Carter and Clinton),he never once blamed a predecessor for any event during his watch.
The practice is and should be followed by every leader, not only the President, but the leader of any organization as well.
It is just common courtesy to not criticize someone excessively after their term of office is completed.
He has always accepted responsibility of not only his actions, but also the actions of those working under him as well.
As Harry Truman once said,"The buck stops here.
" Bush accepted responsibility, Obama doesn't, he still blames everything on Bush and everyone but himself.
Obama has very thin skin and doesn't handle criticism very well.
Obama thinks he can shift the blame onto someone else and the public will buy it.
This isn't true any longer.
It may have worked for a while, but most of the American people are finally waking up and realizing Obama's true colors.
Like him or not Bush is a patriot and believes in America, he believes in America's ability to right itself during any time of peril and sooner or later do the right thing and continue on in it's path of individual freedom and free enterprise.
Obama doesn't, he believes in the socialist view point that only government can solve our problems, he believes that government knows best how to fix the problems in our personal lives and the individual is clueless and needs to be lead around like sheep.
I for one don't believe that.
I know how much air to put in my tires, I know what kind of car I want to drive and whether or not I can afford to put gas in it.
I know what kind of light bulb I want in my house and if I want a big Mac or a salad for lunch.
I know the consequences of my actions and am willing to accept them.
Obama has never figured this out, he thinks he is smarter than the rest of us and needs to make those kind of decisions for us.
I for one agree with George W.
Bush.
Let's return America back on the path it was intended, a path of individual liberty and responsibility, let's leave the socialism to the European countries, if their way of life was so great, our ancestors would have never left.
