NBC’s chief nit wit Keith Olbermann is still signing of with, “Good night and good news the blah blah blah day since George Bush declared ‘mission accomplished’ in Iraq.” Well first it was a bone headed move by the White House to place such a sign above the president – even if, as the White House as always claimed, the “mission accomplished’ only applied to aircraft carrier’s mission. Hmmmm why not just a “well done” sign then? As the White House has no doubt learned, war is a tricky thing.
It has now been 2,667 days since 9/11. There have been no major attacks during that time. I wonder if NBC and the rest of the LameStreamMedia will give Bush/Cheney any credit for keeping us safe when on 20 Jan 2009 – the 2,688th day since 9/11 – they peacefully hand the executive power of the U.S. over to Obama/Biden?
Sorry I just can’t see Doofus McGoofus and his side-kick tingly leg Mathews or any of the other left leaning media lemmings giving our current president his due in this regard. That’s too bad. He deserves it.
In Iraq when he was being blasted from the left, right and center, he held his ground and saw that through to what is now – listen Olberdoof – nearly mission accomplished. It remains to be seen if P-E Obama will squander the hard won advances in Iraq. I don’t think he will.
President Bush held Dems up to ridicule for not renewing the Patriot Act and Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Dems swore they’d never give Bush what wanted - then did. After months of demagoguery and ranting like a…well like a Democrat… even Obama supported the bills.
Bush’s little noticed or written about African policies have saved millions of lives, but that wasn’t enough for Hollywood crowd who embraced Darfur as their cause de jure. Besides, the MSM so hates President Bush they cannot muster a kind word even for a policy that saved millions on a continent where the high browed travel to adopt children. After all, they couldn’t possibly have any of those dirty, white, American, Christian, children from Appalachia running around the mansion. It’s much better PR to travel around the world and snatch up a black African child from some strange land than to travel around the corner to Catholic Services to adopt a poor American child.
On the domestic side President Bush has given us one disappointment after another. Open borders, protectionist steel tariffs and now an endless list of entities that the federal government is willing to bailout.
But for keeping us safe for the last 2,667 days; for freeing 50 million people in the Middle East; for setting the conditions that will give the region two new representative governments to point to as examples; for saving millions of lives in Africa; for never once turning as mean spirited and petty as those who oppose the very idea of him breathing, George W. Bush is Lex’s Man of the Year.

Good choice. He also did not sell the Lincoln bedroom, diddle the White House interns, get impeached, or pardon convicted felons for pocket money. He brought dignity to the position after it had been pulled through the carnival outhouse. The Griffin.
