An open letter to President Bush
Dear President Bush,
Today is your last day in office and I wanted to take the time to thank you for your service to this country. I wouldn't wish the Presidency on my worst enemy nor do I want my son to pursue that office. I couldn't stand by while my own son was ridiculed, mocked and hated by the people of his own country. If people disagreed with him and were respectful about it, that's one thing, but to call him stupid and want him dead is too much. So thank you for bearing that burden.
Did you find it ironic that people made fun of your intellect? I thought we valued a leader who spoke like us not down to us. I guess none of them have mispronounced a word or gotten a phrase wrong. I want some of what they're drinking. (I'm sure my letter is far from perfect grammatically. Did you know I used the word "dramastically" in a sentence the other day? It isn't even a word but maybe needs to be.) Oh wait, they do get things wrong (Obama visited more states than we have in the Union, sees dead people. Biden tells a wheel chair man to stand up). However we all know that they were "tired" or at least that is what their spokespeople told us. I think the real reason is because they are human and make mistakes. Maybe they forgot that you are human as well. Anyway...
Thank you for loving God and not being ashamed to show it. Thank you for doing all you could to protect those sweet unborn children and the moms who were in a desperate situation to not make a decision they would regret later. I pray, as I'm sure you will, that Obama would remember those unborn children and their mothers with love.
Thank you for showing the world that a powerful man can love his wife and stay faithful to her. Your love for Mrs. Bush is very evident and inspiring. We all can tell she adores you too.
I'm sure you have your regrets. I'm sure you feel you failed in some ways. Again, you are human and I'm confident you did your best with the information given. I make mistakes and bad decisions all the time and am glad that they don't affect the world. I wouldn't want that responsibility.
Anyway, I need to wrap up this letter and tell my kids to clean up their mess and then get dinner made. I hope tomorrow goes well for you and in the coming days, you'll get some time to relax with your family. You earned it.
God bless,
Amy Shearer
