Honoring September 11th: I Can Hear You

I miss President Bush!

BUSH : "…Secondly, he is not escaping us. This is a guy, who, three months ago, was in control of a county [sic]. Now he's maybe in control of a cave. He's on the run."

and he's STILL RUNNING, EIGHT YEARS AND COUNTING, ZERO ATTACKS ON HOMELAND U.S.A..

THANK YOU G.W. BUSH AND ASSORTED AGENCIES AND PERSONNEL, FOR EIGHT TERRORISTS FREE YEARS!

This was one of our Nation's finest moments – we will make our way back to those days or die trying. I didn't agree with everything GW did but there is no doubt who he truly was – Obama is a disgrace thats only mark in history will be by being the first black president.

Alan Keyes and so many others that would serve with so much more dignity. Democratic party is falling in wuth some sketchy folks, (Oliver Stone = Chavez, Charley Sheen a 9/11 truther, absent media or perversely partisian media). You guys may assume too much of Reagan Democrats… 2010, it is coming quickly…

And in remembrance of this solemn day…

ABC world news ran a piece on the NYPD anti-terror unit, and credited them with keeping NYC attack free. They dug up someone who said they were undercover for the FBI, who "could" have gotten the one hijacker right before 9/11 but the FBI yanked him to an easier case. And Nightline did a piece on Tillman saying he thought Iraq was an illegal war fought for oil.

To summarize, Bush can't take credit, and it's Bush's fault.

Nice one, ABC. You Schmucks. No wonder John Stossel is going to Fox.

Oh my, let me guess that was the sentence immediately following the part the troll quoted?

Funny how they try things like that.

Tillman? Illegal war? Friendly fire, football hero Tillman?

(sigh) At least Fox is getting all the real journalists.

Not a teleprompter in sight! I did not hear one "uh", "um" or "er", not a single stutter.

Next time I hear someone criticize President Bush as being some sort of numbskull I'm gonna deck 'em! That man spoke from his heart and the masses heard him loud and clear.

Book coming out, letters to his wife etc were handed over to a "best selling author." Tillman had joined right after 9/11 when emotions were high, might have had some second thoughts which would be normal. But they became the highlights. Also, they mentioned he thought there were too many Special Forces involved in the rescue of Private Jessica Lynch, that it was a PR stunt, which was a given at the time but they brought it up anyway.

One other thing, which I want to see in context, they said he didn't want his death to be used to publicize the war, concern about his body being paraded through the streets (something like that). Given Mogadishu and events like soldiers and contractors being dragged about and hung from bridges, that could mean something else, as well as a soldier could have preferred a quiet burial. I want to know if they were adding separate things up to make a point that wasn't there.

But not enough to buy this book that was so obviously written to stir up controversy and sell copies.

Of all the other times in this week, this month, ABC could have shown that canned non-urgent piece…

He spoke that day with a clear strong voice. And that his voice was heard around the world. And it instilled fear in those who meant to do harm to the United States. They knew this guy was serious. At that moment, I couldn't have been more proud of my President.

And our current President has been heard around the world too. In a smooth voice, that conveyed our 'weakness' and our 'arrogance' to the world. And it instilled hope to those who meant to do harm to the United States. Cause they knew, this guy is serious too.

Americans heard George W. Bush, and the Islamict terrorists hear Obama… and love hearing him apologizing.

Ask youself "Who do I trust?"

For me, this 'they're going to hear from all of us' speech was the very moment I felt that it was going to be alright. It's also a perfect example of what a president should be in a crisis. I haven't seen it since and it choked me up all over again. That ability to communicate to people in a real, human way is something we're really missing now. Soaring rhetoric and noble gazes skyward only gets you so far.

And yeah, no teleprompter.

I feel like I should be doing something more active to show my disgust with ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC. Simply not tuning to their stations ever doesn't seem like it's enough.
Maybe I'll block their channels while I try to figure something better out.

Well, if for nothing else than the fact that Bush the Younger gave better gifts than Obama. I still can't belive that man gave the prime minister a bunch of non-region checked DVD's. . .an an iPod with his speeches? Jeez.

*MissQuinn*

To those of my friends and family shocked that I supported George W. Bush throughout his presidency and after, I always say that history will judge him much better than the majority of Americans did toward the end of his term after he left office. I voted for him in the election, but 9/11, and this moment in particular, was when I became a true believer in his strength, courage and conviction. As I said, I truly believe history will judge him well. I just hope that it is soon enough that I am around to see him vindicated. God bless W.!

I had never felt more proud to be an American that day, I will always get chills when I see this video. I miss my President, for all the things he did wrong in the later days, in those days he did EVERYTHING right. I would take him back in a heartbeat.

I'm on antenna and not on any ratings system, so they get nothing from me anyway. Avoiding links to their sites will have to do for a protest, seems Drudge only uses them (and CNN) when he has to.

Oh, let me count the ways. Right now my mistrust comes from the health care bill. I don't believe for a second that we're really talking about health care– we're talking about a huge government takeover and health care is simply the method. He's got the whole country talking about how we need to take care of the uninsured (vastly overstated) and has the liberals on their emotional high horses. I think he'd push just about any agenda as long as the ultimate goal of more government control is achieved. Auto bailouts, spending (stimulus) bill, health care, it's all about big government….

Gitmo will be "I'll believe it when I see it." First it was to be closed in a year, then "it might take longer," I heard of a recommendation report not coming in until late January, lately that one year "is not a firm deadline," etc.

Maybe they're hoping a hurricane will "force" a mass evacuation. But for real enjoyment, perhaps we can get them over the fortified section and "release" them into Cuba. Since it looks like they will get released anyway no matter what, might be worth it to see what the Castro brothers would do with such "harmless unfairly detained" people on their soil.

Maybe we can promote a "My president didn't need a teleprompter" campaign for bumper stickers and t-shirts!

To be correct, it was actually The Queen who received the IPod loaded with Obama, Obama, Obama, and some Queen. (The British figurehead, not the band.) Obama also gave back a bust of Winston Churchill that had been given to the US via the Bushes, again, from Britain, placing Obama firmly in the category of "total choad".

Where do you think Obama goes to smoke his pot these days?

Funny- I don't see this on Letterman's "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches". Which is odd, since this was indeed a great moment in presidential speeches.
