A Powerful Lesson in Class

[Posted by Jake]

Today, President Bush graciously declined to join President Obama on his victory lap around Ground Zero. This despite the recent events which have obviously validated the Bush Administration's anti-terror policies.

It has to be difficult for Democrats to appreciate Republican Presidents who choose to step away from public affairs and the limelight when they leave office. They're accustomed to these Democrat ex-Presidents who won't go away.

Jimmy Carter never misses an opportunity to say something stupid just to let us know he's around. The problem with Obama getting Osama is now Carter is going to be stuck with that "Worst President" label for the foreseeable future.

And then there is the Clintons, who view themselves as the successors to the Kennedys as the first family of Democrat politics. While Bubba could go cocktail-to-cocktail, and bimbo-to-bimbo with Ted, even the American public is not so shortsighted as to overlook the seamy Clinton soap opera that disgraced the highest office in the land.

President Bush has refrained from criticizing the Obama Administration, despite the hypocrisy and unrelenting cacophony of blame contrived by the Democrat apologists. "W" has carried himself with dignity, and he and his whole family have been a powerful lesson in class for all Americans.
