President George W. Bush Plans Quiet Day on 9/11

I've thought much of former President Bush today.

From the Dallas Morning News, "
Bush plans Quiet Day on First 9-11 Out of Office":


President George W. Bush plans a quiet day in his Dallas office Friday in his first Sept. 11 since leaving the White House.

In a statement issued by spokesman David Sherzer, the former president said:

"Eight years ago, our nation and our freedom came under attack. On this solemn anniversary, Laura and I hold the victims and their families in our thoughts and prayers. We honor those who volunteer to keep us safe and extend the reach of freedom — including members of the armed forces, law enforcement officers, and intelligence and homeland security professionals. Their courage, service and sacrifice is a fitting tribute to all those who gave their lives on Sept. 11, 2001. On this day, let us renew our determination to prevent evil from returning to our shores."

Sherzer says the former president would make no public appearances nor give any interviews Friday.
Thank you President Bush.

  1. There were so many issues I disagreed with Bush.

    That being said, we were fortunate to have Bush be our President during that time. It could have been Gore or Kerry...where would we be then I wonder? Would Saddam be in power? Would we've been hit again? The world will never know and I am very thankful for that.

  2. History will give credit to George Bush for no successful attacks since 9/11. George Bush knows that. He is content to retire. His accomplishments are not covered enough by the media. I ask you...do you feel safe? When Iran makes its move, what will Obama do?
