President Bush will soon be heading home and for many that day cannot come soon enough. Count me among those who will miss him and his bedrock decency.
He was the right President at the right time. He's also a good man. We're better off for having had his leadership for the past eight years.
I saw the footage from a local station of his landing in Midland. Midland is truly the middle of nowhere. Nobody gets their accidentally. And truthfully, he looked like a man who had had a rock removed from his shoulders. He said he was glad to be back in Texas. He had never liked DC even when his father was president. Frankly, there's a type of person who enjoys DC that just isn't really like the rest of us. I don't think he ever enjoyed his time there, but thinking back to the Gore meltdowns, Thank God it was Bush in office.
