Oh, To Have A Man Back In The White House

JOHN adds: God, I miss the man. I disagreed with him on a number of issues--Medicare drugs, spending in general, immigration--but no one ever doubted where his loyalties lay or what country he thought he was President of. I will never forget the evening in October 2001, shortly after the September 11 attacks, when President Bush walked onto the field at Yankee Stadium to throw out the first pitch in the World Series, wearing a bulletproof vest because no one knew what to expect, and threw a perfect strike. We have had many highlights since we got involved in politics, but, likewise, I will never forget the Republican convention in 2004 when President Bush's appearance was preceded by a video that ended with a catcher's eye view of that pitch coming down the heart of the plate. Bush entered Madison Square Garden, moments after, to thunderous applause. It's good to see that he still throws a baseball like a man, which is how he governed.

Man, no kidding. Every time I see Bush I think how nice it was to have an honorable man in the White House. He was sandwiched between a professional quality liar and an incompetent (in more ways than one) liar. Whatever misgivings we had about some of Bush's decisions, as John says, were tempered by the fact that Bush loves this country and was doing what he thought was best for it. What we have now is a neophyte who does NOT love this country, and seeks to tear it down. Fortunately, the voters are seeing through the media hype to the man himself, and it ain't a pretty picture.

JASmius adds: Follow this Foghorn Leghorn vid to the 00:45 mark; it nails Barack Obama's spastic attempts at first-pitch-throwing and the window they provide into his true character.

And, yes, yes, feel free to substitute "guy" at the appropriate point in the line.
