1. Not doing a very good job as an ex-President

3. I said President. Not ex.

4. Hey, he's the second best ex-president alive now. That's not bad.

Unless you count Gore.

2. I just miss peace, prosperity and optimism

EDIT: Oh yes, and intelligence and coherence in the President.

[Robeson]

5. It was nice, wasn't it. The age before fear.

15. Some o us are lucky enough to be old enough that we will be able

to have clear recollections of it.

6. Maybe we should stop calling him that

I mean, if Hillary runs, think of what her nickname will become...

[Robeson]

7. The other side calls her that already.....

...but I get your point.

[Placebo]

8. Don't we all?

I miss having a President worthy of our respect and admiration, and of his place in history.

9. I saw him a month or so ago...

OK, so he was recovering from heart surgery (he looked really good, by the way), but I was less than impressed with his messages, which were awfully centrist -- which, these days, means farther right than I'd like to see any Democrat.

But I, too, miss the days of coherent sound bites, a president who gives real answers to real questions, and not having the fear that we've all somehow warped back to Germany 1933.

[Robeson]

10. Glad he looked good.....

...the last time I saw him on TV, I honestly thought he was on deaths bed.

The coherency aspect you mentioned can't be overstated. There was coherency, and pragmatism, which was explained with a logic trail. I didn't always agree, but I understood what was being discussed. Now, we aren't even dealing in the "reality" world, as Bush's advisor's have said themselves.

[FreedomFry]

11. Yes, he attempted to educate as well as inform.

The tragedy is that most of America wasn't listening.

12. I love the Big Dawg unconditionally it seems.

Hardly anything he says pisses me off. I always rationalize it away.

:sigh:

[no_hypocrisy]

13. I miss the Big Dawg AND the democratic Congress.

He really couldn't do his best with Gingrich putting sand in his shorts every time he turned around.

14. i voted for him twice & would again if i could...
