The King's English -- George W Bush, Jr

Did you tire of one President's lecturing and preaching? Do you cringe at another's tweets, his lechery and "leechering?" Then as George W Bush Jr's term fades from the annals of recency Let us recall the stirring words of this man of abiding decency "Junior" as the USA's President was a bit of an anomaly As he observed: "I know how hard it is to put food on your family." (Jan, 2000) It was rather hard to take his Presidency all too seriously After this: "I know the human being and fish can coexist." (Sept., 2000) For education, he and Laura shared a passion, a yearning To wit: "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?" (Jan, 2000) Of course, Bush could also be sharp as a tack, downright uncanny Like the time he bragged, "They misunderestimated me!" (Nov, 2000) And after eight years in office, "W" had become quite the orator As seen in this reflection: "I think I was unprepared for war, --er." (Dec, 2008) So there you have it, a smattering of evidence ~ That speaking the King's English is not required of a President

It is truly tragic our expectations and standards for our leaders are so abysmally low-

What do you mean? We're definitely making progress. Our standards for Trump are much higher than they were for Bush: We used to laugh; now we cringe... LOL and LOL again. "Tis a pity, Michelle, isn't it?! Thanks for stopping by and commenting on this one. :) gw
