Five Days Left, But the Hate Continues
I watched as much of President Bush's farewell speech as my daughters allowed. They both decided it would be the perfect time to fuss and/or scream. Still, what I was able to catch reaffirmed my belief that while Bush has been an imperfect president, he is a decent man.
One thing I've been especially impressed by is his refusal to engage in the sort of pettiness that marked the final week of Bill Clinton's presidency. Clinton signed off on hundreds of new rules on everything from ergonomics to arsenic standards, setting numerous regulatory stink bombs that Bush would have to defuse. Clinton also put the political 'no taxation without representation' DC license plates on the presidential limo, making Bush the bad guy when he removed the inappropriate statement.
Bush has done none of that. Quite the opposite. Even Obama aides are saying the White House has helped made this a very smooth and orderly transition. He has shown grace in the face of the incomprehensible rage displayed by the left. I say incomprehensible because even though Bush's time is done, some liberals are not done hating him. Read the liberal comments in this Hot Air thread. Or "feel the pain" of this puerile bleating in the LA Times.
You've got to wonder when the left is going to give up its addiction to Bush hatred, and how they're going to cope with the fact that his presidency is over.

Just different regular articles I've read and then when you see the comments -- it's Bush hatred like -- wow! So are these the same people that will forgive and give Obama anything? That's the part that scares me.

Did you see the pictures of the shoe throwing in D.C. today? Throwing shoes at a huge blow-up balloon. It's horrible.
