A GWB Farewell
President Bush will give a farewell address Thursday evening from the East Room of the White House, the AP reports:
"White House press secretary Dana Perino said Monday that Bush will 'uphold the tradition of presidents using farewell addresses to look forward - by sharing his thoughts on greatest challenges facing the country, and on what it will take to meet them.'
"The president also will defend his record, Perino said, but will show graciousness toward Obama and not attempt to revisit the old battles of his presidency."
GREETINGS MR. PRESIDENT,
I HAD THE PRIVILEDGE OF MEETING YOU A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN YOU WERE IN MICHIGAN WITH THE POLISH PRESIDENT. IT WAS AN HONOR TO SHAKE YOUR HAND. IT WAS AN HONOR TO HAVE YOU AS MY COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. YOU WERE ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS ASKING THE GOOD LORD TO GIVE YOU THE PERSEVERENCE TO CARRY THE LOAD OF THE WORLD ON YOUR SHOULDERS.
WISHING YOU AND MRS. BUSH ALL THE BEST IN THE YEARS TO COME.
THANK GOODNESS YOU ALWAYS SOARED WITH THE EAGLES AND DIDN'T LET THOSE TURKEYS GET YOU DOWN.
RESPECTFULLY,
Joanna Musser
LtCol USAF NC (ret)
