Unfortunately many Americans were not thrilled with the Policies of the Bush Administration nor were too many happy with the way he ran the country. I know I was not a big fan, but I will say this…he raised wonderful daughters. One must give credit where credit is due. If you have not already done so, you have to read the letter his daughters left for the daughters of President Obama. That was the most considerate letter two young ladies could have left for the next children of the oval office. Click here to read the entire letter “Playing House in the White House.”

 

My favorite part of their entire letter (although it was all good) “Our Dad, who read to us nightly, taught us how to score tedious baseball games. He is our father, not the sketch in a paper or part of a skit on TV. Many people will think they know him, but they have no idea how he felt the day you were born, the pride he felt on your first day of school, or how much you both love being his daughters. So here is our most important piece of advice: remember who your dad really is,” what better advise can you give then that? Even those parents who are not “high profile” get the bad end of the stick in society sometimes, or people view them poorly without even knowing them.  I think it is very important for us to remember our parents for who they really are/were, and not how others portray/ed them. Whether your image of your parents is/was good or bad, only those who grew up in the house with them will know them best.

Please note that I am not condoning how Mr. Bush ran the country, but he is no longer in office.  We need to move forward and leave the past in the past, and make the country better then it currently is. The Bush twin daughters helped the Bush family to leave on a positive note, and I honestly would prefer our last president leaving on a positive note then a negative one. Our country really does not need any negative energy floating around…we have a lot of work to do, to get back to a prosperous nation.
