Isn't President Bush classy? Wasn't his speech fabulous? Certainly, he talked about some things that he did as President, but that wasn't the theme of his speech. Instead, the President focused on what was great about the American people. He cited the wonderful Marine who saved so many of his buddies' lives, and it was he and others like him on which Bush focused. "We will not tire; we will not falter; we will not fail" because of great Americans like these.
Contrast this with Obama's take on Americans. This one needs him to help her pay for her nursing education, as if she won't be able to pay off her loans after she has a job making more money than I ever will. Then there's the one who needs child care because she won't get married to the baby daddy so they can pool their resources. Then there's the union guy in Ohio who can't get hired because his union is mad at him...oh wait, that's Joe the Plumber. He doesn't count. The point is, to Obama, Americans are only victims who need the government (HIM) to help them. They're not courageous like the Marine, or smart, or philanthropic. They're just sad, pathetic people who you would think were stuck in the USSR.
Obama has no class at all. Class is about your attitude and how well you conduct yourself. It isn't about how much money you have, as so many people think. It's about conducting yourself with grace and dignity, as Bush has. It's about lifting people up, not tearing people down. That's the great difference between class and no class, Bush and Obama.
Thank you, President Bush, for eight years of class.
