This Is Where The Cowboy Rides Away...UPDATE: Commutes Ramos And Compean On Last Day!!!

Thank you, President Bush.

A very good piece from Matt Lewis of Townhall.

President Bush was cursed by his own success. He successfully kept us safe from more terrorist attacks following 9/11. This allowed others to grow complacent, though he never did. He was vigilant to the last. Unfortunately, this gave many ungrateful people the luxury of focusing on his shortcomings and browbeating him for everything under the sun.

Liberals truly, irrationally hate President Bush. Conservatives, many of us, are disappointed. Many Conservatives have abandoned him because of their thrall to conventional wisdom. Some of us, though, remember the good things and that we are safer and 50 million people are free because of him. As Matt Lewis points out the president, for all his faults, is "an upright, downright honest man."

It may not be too long until some of us realize how good we had it. I miss him already. He is a good, sincere man, not perfect, but far better than many give him credit. His enduring legacies of protecting us from terrorism and appointing two superb conservatives to the Supreme Court will be paying dividends long after the dust has settled in Crawford.

UPDATE: As a friend said, it would've been better had the president pardoned them fully, but, at least, their wrongful imprisonment has been ended.
