Farewell
Wizbang —
... I expect he will leave with the utmost class (and will leave everything where it belongs) and although I am sure it will be a huge adjustment going from leader of the free world to Texas retiree, I have a feeling that George Bush looks forward to it. He has been far from perfect, but has had some great achievements for which he has received little, if any, credit and I truly believe he is a good man who wanted only the best for the country. I join my friend, the Anchoress, in saying "Thank you President Bush."

Farewell to the Captain of our Ship of State
The Wide Awake Cafe —
... Thank you President Bush for taking America on this safe journey these past eight years. The time seems to have flown and while I know that it is time for your term to end I am very sorry to see you leave. Our nation has been blessed to have such an honorable and good man leading it. I am sincerely sorry that there are so many Americans who don’t realize the good that you have done or the many sacrifices that you and others have made in the name of national security. ...

... who didn’t see a need to force doctors to provide normal care to infants that survived abortion attempts. George Bush didn’t do everything right, and on economics, he’s almost indistinguishable now from the man who will succeed him. He did everything he could on life issues, though, and Sunday will be an opportunity to give thanks for that, and to show some appreciation for it. (via The Anchoress )
President Bush: more concerned about getting results than getting credit

... . Update: I highly recommend you stop by The Anchoress . She has links to a lot of blogs by folks who have praised President Bush for his tireless efforts to do what was right. That means fighting Islamofascism around the world, fighting AIDS in Africa, helping the homeless, freeing Iraqis from the death grip of Saddam Hussein and much more. It's a great roundup.
