Support the Commander in Chief

President Bush is a great commander in chief and has done great things for this country. He has been the best commander in chief that I have had the privilege of working for.

During Slick Willies presidency I had serious reservations about re-enlisting and making a career out of the Air Force. After President Bush took office it was clear that he was the president that the armed forces so desperately needed to repair the damage done by the Clit-on era. While I have deployed twice during President Bush's tenure and I have spent more than a year away from my family I have re-enlisted and I will make a career of the Air Force. Despite the increased deployments since 9/11 the quality of life in the military has raised ten fold...

...Throughout my career I have been part of many presidential details. I've shaken hands with, both Clinton and Gore (needless to say I almost scrubbed the flesh off of my hands afterwards), I have had the pleasure of speaking to Gen. Colin Powell, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Gen. Tommy Franks, I met Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf (guest speaker at a military event) and above all I have spoken face to face with George W. Bush on two separate occasions, once at Travis AFB in CA and once in the Middle East.

Now having been face to face with these people I offer you a comparison. All three times that I worked near the former president Clit-on, he rushed from his limo to the podium and back again. He barely acknowledged the troops around him. He failed to return salutes. (It is optional for him to return the salute, but it burned the troops every time he failed to.)

George Bush on the other hand works the crowd. In CA after he spoke (shortly after 9/11) he spent nearly two hours shaking hands with the troops and speaking to everyone he could. He spoke to everyone from our commanding General all the way down the lowest ranking Airman Basic.

Can we afford another Dumbocrat that can't even acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the troops?

George bush is not only the best president for our troops he is clearly the best president for our nation’s defense.

In recent ads presidential wannabe, Senator John "Scary" Kerry, has questioned President Bush's military service. How can you question the service of the "highest ranking" member of the armed forces. I have respect for John Kerry's military record as I respect all Servicemen and women. However, until you have been the commander in chief how in the hell can you question the military record of the commander in chief.

George bush is a people’s president. He is also a true American. He is not afraid to speak his mind. He is honest, and he is not afraid to act. The actions following 9/11 have been called reactive by the Dumbocrats. I say they were pro-active. By freeing both Afghanistan and Iraq from there oppressive rulers we have shown the world that we will act to prevent acts against humanity. We will act to prevent terrorism, and we will dedicate the time, money, troops and effort needed to get the job done.

You going to be in Qatar at any point this summer? I will be. It would be cool if we could do the first Deployed Meet-Up there...

I agree with the sentiment, but I have one minor nitpick. President Clinton *was* the elected CIC, and deserves the respect his position deserves. You don't have to like the person, but the name-calling grates.

Just my .02

I agree that while he was CIC I did have an obligation to respect Slick Willies position, but now the he has moved on (thank the gods) I no longer have that obligation. He was not a good representation of a CIC. He also made America look weak with his pull out of Mogadishu!

That's funny - I would have had to take a shower after meeting "Clit-on" and Gore. No, there's no obligation to respect the man just the Office of the Presidency. And anyone who uses the Oval Office for the back seat of a car deserves no respect from me. And I voted for him. I certainly do not agree with Bush's decisions and/or policies all the time, but he sure is a strong dedicated president. For 8 years Clinton let al Qada et al bomb us overseas, hit a ship and bomb the Trade Center once (after which the man was said to utter, "We'll do it right next time.), and he did nothing of any consequence. What Bush needs now is some good advisors and planners .. a few more L. Paul Bremers would help, no?

I couldn't agree more Betsy. At the bare minimum Bush has been an upstanding President. He has also been a very worthy Commander In Chief!
