So we have a new President. Perhaps you've heard...
The local L.A. news anchors seem to reach orgasmic heights with the mere mention of his name. Yesterday was not just another inauguration....it was a sacrament. A new covenant, perhaps. Disgusting. Embarrassing. This is the news media....the people's watchdog? Their adulation of this no-more-than-average man leaves many of us wondering if the whole world hasn't gone crazy. Maybe it has. Maybe it's supposed to....
As mind-numbing as all this may be, my focus remains on the good man who has just vacated the office now being occupied by the people's messiah. Truly this man behaved with class and dignity all through. To say he was wronged over the last eight years would be a monumental understatement. But he endured...silently. Much like the Man who lived 2,000 years ago whom most of us rightfully worship, he opened not his mouth. Maybe he should have defended himself... It drove many of us crazy that he would not....but that was not his way.
He kept his head down and his eyes forward and focused on his goals....on what he believed was right. He was a man of conviction...a man of prayer. He exhibited more strength and character these last eight years than many of these newly discovered worshippers have shown in their entire lives.
This country is a lot better off because of the presidency of George W. Bush. A LOT better.... No faux-newscaster/commentator can change that just by saying it ain't so.
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to this man. I pray we will see this debt paid in my lifetime......and in his.
God bless President George W. Bush.
