An Email To President Bush
Posted: Wednesday, October 17, 2007

I sent an email to our Commander In Chief, President Bush I know he will most likely never get to read it therefore; I thought I’d share it with SearchWarp readers. If you would like to send comments to the president here is a link to the white house email address
Mr. President your term of office is almost over why don’t you leave behind a great legacy. Why don’t you as the leader of the greatest nation in history leave your office with honor, respect and popularity? What I mean is turn that aggressive profile you have chosen to show the world since you took office into a more compassionate, loving nature, which is popular in today’s world.
The tough guy image and attitude went out with President Nixon. Nixon also began his presidency with a very unpopular stance with the American people, However when he decided to show the world his true colors he was hailed with honor as a great commander in chief.
I would recommend you stop playing the role of the school bully. Be a teacher, teach through example if you want our young to be respectable, and caring citizens lead the way.
Our young should not be trained to kill but rather to heal. Ask for guidance from your God you seem too put so much trust in.
“You do not lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership." Dwight D. Eisenhower
Yes you Mr. Bush if you want our respect you must earn it by the ways of your behavior. Let us announce hail to the Chief with the words coming from our heart with meaning and patriotism.
We cannot solve any of our domestic problems and fight in a foreign war at the same time. Let us end the war, not by deserting the people of Iraq or Afghanistan but by leaving them with peace within their own country. Let’s face it we are there for the oil we will have to buy it from them not take from them. In addition, move forward to tackle all of our internal problems with dignity, fairness, and equality.
The economic war within our own country must be dealt with. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, is the root of all of our problems. DEAL WITH IT! Honestly. Make America the land we can all be proud of. I heard your father say this at one time during his administration. [Quote] “I want to make this country a country we can all be proud of" finish your father’s dream. God bless you!
Sincerely and with the utmost of respect
A concerned citizen… David A Tanguay

David, while we don't see eye to eye on some things, I agree our President is not what he portrayed on the election trail. My biggest issue with someone running for any office is their value of life. I'm not talking about the war, I'm talking about pro-life. If life is truly valued, then I believe the other things will start falling into place.Please log in to respond to this comment.Mr. or Mrs. Anonymous, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I’m what I call a natural democrat and although I also consider myself a liberal (don’t get me wrong) a liberal is a dirty word to conservatives. My stand on liberalism is for the reason I believe in change. Although I do not need a decision from a supreme court justice “in favor of,” or a sermon from a preacher “opposed” telling me that murder can be justifiable. I consider abortion in any form as murder. A strong statement but I believe this to be true. The only thing I see Bush doing good is his stand on abortion and stem cell research. however how can a man save a baby's life and then sentence that same child to death 20 or 30 years later for committing a crime? I'm also opposed to the death sentence. and war itself isn't justifiable not in today's worldPlease log in to respond to this comment.
David, thanks for saying what so many of us think. If our President would spend as much time on domestic situations, many of the foreign ones would disappear. Situations such as honor and honesty, truth and dignity amoung our representatives.Please log in to respond to this comment.Thank you Gary, I just don't see how anyone with such a big responsibility as Commander in Chief can keep his mind on domestic issues while our boys are in harms way. Could you work at you job responsibly Gary if your daughter was in Iraq?Please log in to respond to this comment.
I believe President Bush started his first term in office on a strong, decisive note. He knew what he wanted to do and he did it. Now it's as if he's lost direction and will. He needs to decide what he wants to do and how he wants to do it, and then do it. And to heck with the naysayers.Please log in to respond to this comment.Actually Danny, when Bush first took office we were not engaged in war. I believe his big mistake after 9/11 was going to war blindly. Why Iraq? They were not responsible for 9/11, we are in Iraq for the oil not to bring democracy to the people. I also believe Osama Bin Laden can be dealt with through negotiation. As far as him losing direction and will, well we are a nation of the people. One man cannot rule on his own that would be a dictatorship. We need the naysayers to question our judgement. thank you for commentingPlease log in to respond to this comment.
Regretably David, I think Mr Bush is a character who is not sufficiently evolved to be able understand the merrit of your words. Perhaps his children's children will fare better.Please log in to respond to this comment.Well CB, President Bush is in the same age bracket as you and me. Therefore by nature he is in the same groove as we are. I believe he has evolved enough to understand what the world truly needs and is asking for. He just seems to want to preserve our barbarous past. It’s a different world today, it’s time to wake up and begin living. don't you think?Please log in to respond to this comment.
Hi David, Thanks for writing that letter. Unfortunately, it is not in the cards for this president to change his stripes. Let's hope for the best in 2008!Please log in to respond to this comment.Well James, change in a part of human nature. I believe most people really want to change they just need a little encouragement.Please log in to respond to this comment.
Hi David re: "It’s a different world today, it’s time to wake up and begin living. don't you think?" I do agree. Sadly though the power always seems to be in the hands of the agressive and not the passive.Please log in to respond to this comment.To me CB today’s aggressive are not natural, they are merely all wind. As I point out in my article the tough guy image went out of style. Today’s world is composed of lousy actors, they even enjoy trying to make people believe they are psychologically ill. I can’t help but laugh at these so called new nuts in today’s society. I lived with the real ones when they were real not phony. I may have lost you here CB, or do you understand what I’m saying?Please log in to respond to this comment.
Dave, I write on Searchwarp about my disease, multiple sclerosis. In the past year my MS has debilitated me. My comment about Bush is this. He has vetoed bills that would make stem cell research a possibility. If he or one of his immediate family had MS or something else debilitating I bet he would change his mind on stem cell research pretty quick! That's all I got for now. Jon WegnerPlease log in to respond to this comment.Mr. Wegner, I sympathize with your condition. I don’t know that much about stem cell research however I understand it involves destroying an embryo. As I am opposed to abortion I stand against destroying of life for any reason.Please log in to respond to this comment.
