Awwww... I'll miss him
W will speak at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs today. In years past, I might have made the effort to go welcome him.
The spin is incredible. While our freedoms are eroding, we're occupying a society that was doing just fine and didn't pose a threat to us. And I don't know who appointed us the transformer of the societies of the world...
Only 237 days...
I hope we do better after that, but I don't believe that a better future is solely dependent on a different prez. We, the people, have to willingly lower our material expectations and increase our skills of interdependence. We have to expect MORE of our leaders. Ahhh... it's been too easy to have low expectations the last eight years...
White House press secretary Dana Perino said Bush would zero in on one constant -- "that freedom has the power to overcome tyranny and transform societies."

"Freedom has the power to overcome tyranny and transform societies" is one of those phrases that is wonderfully poetic and would look great on a Hallmark greeting card, but doesn't really mean anything. It's all style and no substance.
Just like…
;o)
Uh, isn't Bush's real mantra, "that tyranny has the power to overcome freedom and transform societies."
Thomas, It's just scary to me that so many people fall for words. Meanwhile, a lot of hellacious actions are taking place.
Robert, You got it right! Perino must have made a little error in his wording.
I find it strange and frightening that Dubya does not recognize the tyranny and oppression of his own administration. If I remember the history I’ve read, neither did Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Napoleon, etc.
Nick,
I think he DOES know what he and his administration are doing. Power in the hands of the wrong people...
