A Message We Can Always Use

I know a lot of my readers don't particularly approve of President George Bush. They think he has done a poor job these last seven years. Whether you like him or not though. You have to admit the truth in regards to this man's character. This President is always on his toes. When he is called on for his leadership skills. It has just been one thing after another. I would venture to say he has probably faced more adversity than any one commander-in-chief in history. The President spoke at a convocation ceremony for the students and faculty killed at Virginia Tech. I was thoroughly impressed with the speech he gave. I always say this President will look a whole lot better, after he is no longer in office.

In the event of something happening like this, words don't really suffice. Anything anybody would say wouldn't be enough in this case. This was a timely scripture from the bible that I thought fit the occasion. "Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good".

Common,
Oh how I enjoy your blog and I agree to a degree with this message but I do not aggree with everything this man said at this convocation! He made a statement that sent my remote control into my television? He let come out of his mouth "These students was in the wrong place at the wrong time". Common please tell me what would have been the right place! I mean these students were in class trying to get an education so what other place should they have been.

Thanks for responding. I'm glad you enjoy the blog. Let me say this as unconfrontational as I can. It is not my intent to tee you off. I don't know whether or not you like the president. That will determine how you take my answer."Give the man a break".

If you don't like him, nothing he says will satisfy you. You're hanging on his every word. Hoping that he slips up and says something silly. If he had said "they were in the right place, at the wrong time". Which would actually be the truth. That wouldn't sound right either. Then you would have called him stupid. Said his comment didn't make sense.

If you do like him, don't be biting your nails. Don't Worry about him making a perfect speech everytime he opens his mouth. Giving the person above something to feed off. In your desire to have him do well. You might be being to critical.

Common,
It has nothing to do with whether I like him or not and what you said is absolutely correct.

No, I do not watch or listen to every word he say nor do I wait around for him to slip up because it's obvious he is going to do that anyway. I was just wondering where should those students have been if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Thanks for sharing your opinion on the matter. As always I am impressed with your view of it.

Thanks for keeping it real
