While there are those who are disenchanted with President Bush, I truly appreciate him and am thankful that he was our President for the last eight years. While many may argue with his policies, we cannot argue with the biblical truth that it is God who sets up kings and it is God who removes them. During Bush's second run for The White House, I remember John Kerry desperately needing some television coverage right before the election. Then former President Reagan died - and the country was reminded of a great Republican President. At Reagan's funeral, President Bush gave one of the best speeches ever and later went on to secure his second term. Bush has certainly benefited from many of these "coincidences" over the years. Now, as he prepares to leave office, how fitting that the President, whose first term was symbolized with the airplanes of 9/11, now departs with the symbol of an airplane - US Airways flight 1459 that recently crash landed in the Hudson River. The first planes symbolize a terrible tragedy while the latter plane symbolizes hope and courage. How unbelievable that this recent episode would happen on the same day that Bush delivered his farewell address to the nation. I know that even now, as Bush has one foot out the door, there are angry people who have to get in their last hateful opinion. But as long as Bush defines his success as having kept America safe so that his detractors could be alive to have an opinion, he will win. Thank you President Bush!
