Whatever you may think of the policies of George W. Bush, you have to admit he’s a man of great character. I’ve spent so much of my time covering the election in Massachusetts, I’ve failed to note Bush’s appearance with President Obama and Bill Clinton yesterday. My apologies.
Jeannie DeAngelis wrote an excellent piece for American Thinker that’s a must read.
Yesterday, America witnessed a similar display of humbleness. George W. Bush, criticized, mocked, humiliated, blamed and dishonored by both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, put the needs of the Haitian people before personal feelings and pride.
One of the many thousands of things Obama demeaned G.W. Bush for was his handling of Katrina. Sharply criticizing the ex-President Obama vowed,“We must ensure that the failures of the past are never repeated.” Then Obama has the unmitigated audacity to call the supposed failed hurricane president in to assist in the relief effort to Haiti, a disaster of mass Biblical proportion. If Obama believed G.W. Bush was such a failure during Katrina, why enlist a bumbler in the Haitian effort? Or was Obama in need of an inclusive photo op before Tuesday’s special election in Massachusetts?
Not only did Bush respond to Obama’s invitation to assist the Haitian people, the former President ”heaped burning coals upon Obama’s head” by respectfully commending the standing President for a “swift and timely response to the disaster.” Quite the opposite from the fiery darts Obama has been lobbing for years in Bush’s direction.
For political expediency Obama continues to diminish G.W. Bush in the minds of the American people. In response, the ex-President reciprocated by building up Barack Obama’s wounded reputation before the nation. George W. Bush behaved like Officer Crowley; only this time Bush assisted a political cripple who may talk a good talk, but if you watch closely has trouble walking without a crutch.
In the Rose Garden lofty rhetoric came from Barack Obama before heading off to Massachusetts to campaign for Martha Coakley, while action was displayed on the part of George Bush. To even stand there in the company of unrelenting accusers means that Bush possesses the strength of character to put aside demeaning accusations and refuse to dwell on personal feelings in order to address the needs of a devastated nation. …
Read the whole thing. George W. Bush is a class act, and a good man. The way he was vilified is a disgrace. But he finds a way to rise above it. Character comes from within, it’s not something you can read from a teleprompter. Unfortunately, American are finding that out the hard way.
Now that Bush is involved, the Dems will have somebody to blame for everything that goes wrong. They shold put the ex-gov of Louisiana in there too, just to make sure that there are plenty of things to blame him for.

W is a class act even if you don’t agree with his ideology or politics. Manners can carry you far and pose a striking difference between individuals. I just wish W. would have stood up for himself and his staff a lot more than he did, but I guess that’s not his nature nor his faith. And I really wish he wouldn’t have gotten snookered by Hank Paulson, Trojan horse Democrat. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/10/hank_paulsons_dna.html
