Why the people of the US elected G.W Bush --twice

This excellent book gives an insight into the values instilled by Prescott Bush,carried forth by President George H.W.Bush and now being practiced by President George W. Bush.These men and their families know what it means to practice honor,integrity,and duty to their country.The people of the US,who gave them the honor to serve,see the strength of duty and conviction in their actions,and this is what they see in President George W. Bush and don't fall for the picture portrayed by the elite left wing media and establishment.There is no doubt that the Bushes believe it is a great honor to serve their country and they will do everything possible to ensure that they will do it to the best of their ability.Leadership and Statesmanship is one thing while politics is another matter.The Bushes are able to handle both and do it without being mean-spirited or nasty;even in times when things don't always go the way they wish.To them, a public office is a sacred trust and they will do everything in their power to insure that the office gets the respect it deserves.Whether or not you agree with President Bush on all issues,one certainly knows where he stands .He has proven to be a man of his word,will give it his best and along the way will do nothing to disgrace the office he has been elected to hold. There are a couple of thoughts the Bushes live by and everyone can benefit from them;regardless of their Faith or Politics: "Doing what is right is what is more important than being popular." "Principles matter a lot more than opinion polls." Keeping this in mind one can see The President lives by his convictions;and this is the foundation of greatness.This applies just as much to the cop on the beat,the teacher in the school,the coach on the sand lot and The President of the United States of America.It is what George W.Bush believes,practices and will be his legacy.
