Liberal Bloggers Miss President Bush

Hillbuzz.org, a left-leaning blog written by a gay couple out of Chicago, just ran a post thanking and praising the former President George W. Bush and Laura Bush for visiting the victims of the Ft. Hood attack at Walter Reed while criticizing President Obama for his lack of leadership after the attack and for not taking a stronger stance against radical Islam.

Here is an excerpt:

Oh, how we RAILED against Bush in 2000…and how we RAILED against the surge in support Bush received post-9/11 when he went to Ground Zero and stood there with his bullhorn in the ruins on that hideous day.

We were convinced that ANYONE who was president would have done what Bush did, and would have set that right tone of leadership in the wake of that disaster. President Gore, President Perot, President Nader, you name it. ANYONE, we assumed, would have filled that role perfectly.

Well, we told you before how much the current president, Dr. Utopia, made us realize just how wrong we were about Bush. We shudder to think what Dr. Utopia would have done post-9/11. He would have not gone there with a bullhorn and struck that right tone. More likely than not, he would have been his usual fey, apologetic self and waxed professorially about how evil America is and how justified Muslims are for attacking us, with a sidebar on how good the attacks were because they would humble us.

The full post is a decent read with an interesting perspective and it definitely generated a “buzz” as it currently has over 1,000 comments.

We miss him too:
