We often forget

How great he really is. How misunderstood, how maligned. But great, like no other President has been.

I can't agree with many of his policies, many I agree with as if they were my own. But you cannot deny his greatness - you cannot. I challenge you to try. Sure, you can spew rhetoric and lies, twist truths and bandy about names, but you cannot deny his greatness.

For all the talk in this election year, all the crass claims and cries of change - the only one who doesn't see in color? He's leaving soon and you cannot replace him with the three who are trying as they don't come close to greatness.

I think about that all the time...I'm really gonna miss him.

I couldn't agree more. And I'm finding it harder and harder to NOT defend him more vehemently.

Especially at work. Most of my customers blame him 100% for every one of their issues. It's just amazing to me.

But you put it perfectly!

Excellent post! Thanks for the link, too... I hadn't seen it yet.

I almost put my Bush/Cheney sign back up the other day... ;)

Amen, Sister. Thanks for pointing me to that article - though it pissed me off in places, it was good to read.

Wait, I thought he was to blame for, well, everything...?

Sorry, been reading the New York Slimes... ;)
