Farewell, True Leader

You ruled with unflinching leadership. In the face of opposition from the enemy abroad known as terrorism and the domestic enemy known as liberalism, you stood tall. You prayed for guidance, made your decisions, and stood by them. That's all you can ask of a leader.

President, you had the admiration of the troops you commanded. Not every president can say that. They supported you. They trusted you. When it comes down to it, what else is there for a commander-in-chief?

Sir, you believed in a higher power while in office. You spoke of a compassionate, merciful, loving, powerful, and demanding God. For wearing your faith on your sleeve, I say thank you. I rested at night knowing that our nation's leader was a child of God.

Now I will never claim that you made every right move while in office, then again, I'm sure you'll never claim that either. But I know you always did your best, and put this country before anything else, even when it was the unpopular decision.

You kept this country safe after a horrible attack. An attack that was both unprovoked (no matter what liberals tell you) and vicious. Not for one second would I wish someone else in charge at that time. Your leadership guided us through a day that none of us will ever forget. Then you pledged your entire presidency to hunting down those evil-doers and those who helped them.

Finally, Mr. President, I wish you well. You've been made the butt of jokes, been made a buffoon, and a war-monger. You are none of those. It is my prayer tonight, that you enjoy your life after the presidency, and that history remembers you better than this ignorant generation.

God bless you, President George W. Bush. And God bless America.
