For the first time in my life, I felt vulnerable in America. Then the president spoke, alas, I felt even more vulnerable. &amp;nbsp;My God, he's a basket case, &amp;nbsp;he can barely speak. &amp;nbsp;Obviously, he was so completely emotionally devastated I could almost &lt;br&gt;feel it coming through the TV.&lt;br&gt;The next time he spoke to the world before the Congress, he seemed a different man. He showed the &amp;nbsp;courage and strength I felt a president should have.&lt;br&gt;He gave me the impression he would walk into hell to see that it didn't happen again. &amp;nbsp;He did. &amp;nbsp;It didn't.&lt;br&gt;In my unqualified opinion, 9-11 defined President Bush. And, like a parent who has lost a child due to a senseless tragedy, they will sometimes overprotect the other children, ironically to their detriment.&lt;br&gt;In his desire to connect to the common folks, he often came &amp;nbsp;across as a &amp;quot;bumpkin&amp;quot;........And, to some who value the grammatically accurate sentence more then the deeper feelings of a man driven to keep the wolves from the door, I say, thank you, for the fruits of all the great minds, spell check included,&lt;br&gt;and, I hope the cool, calm, calculating, cerebral approach of the next president creates &amp;nbsp;a secure homeland as well. I think he will, how can he be so smart and still have such a heart warming smile? &amp;nbsp;I'm excited and bewildered &amp;nbsp;by this world. &amp;nbsp;Let's give presidents &amp;nbsp;the respect the office deserves, even if we despise their policies.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Oh, to be president...</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/13/1743426.aspx#1744032</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:00:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1744032</guid><dc:creator>matter of record</dc:creator><description>the gop will not win a presidency before 2024.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;the gop has become narrow in it's membership. it has become controlled by race haters, class intolerators, religous fanatics and haters, gender indifference and total ideaologues have become the norm for the gop. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;the gop aren't tolerant to difference in opinion. it will be a long time before republicans return to power in the white house. the senate and house majority will depend on the effectiveness of the white house. that means the majority will stay in place at least through obama's second term.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;live with it you right wing fringe fanatics. success lies in the middle.</description></item><item><title>Oh, to be president...</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/01/13/1743426.aspx#1744061</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Jan 2009 21:09:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1744061</guid><dc:creator>Va Ind.</dc:creator><description>By 2012, you will look back on these last eight years (2000 - 2008) as &amp;quot;The good old days&amp;quot;.</description></item></channel></rss>
