    I think the 'faint praise' is in reference to LE's posts. They infer that she can find nothing nice to say about him other than he likes Mexican food and thinks he has a cute dog.

    IMHO, that is not praise, but making fun of the President, and it does not lend credence to the sincerity of this thread.

    That I hate the president. That I oppose everything about him.

    Do you have no praise of our President to share here CMG, or would you rather try to railroad the thread to comdemn me?

    President Bush is an example to the entire nation by his total devotion to his wife and daughters.

    I mentioned at the beginning that I would not delete posts unless they violated BB rules. My request for praise only was just that - a request.

    When the president was interviewed by an extremely hostile Irish reporter he balanced a stern response with treating her as a lady. That is a rare trait.

    Thank you. The Moderators are out of control here. They are both non-Bush voters by their own admission and they have both been very critical of the President. They will not allow his supporters to either be silent or to defend him on their own terms. This thread should not have been started by a Bush critic and it is a disgrace.

    And a 'request', by the OP, is usually followed out of respect for his wishes.

    President Bush is a Godly man. I voted for him twice and wish I could vote for him again.

    The Baptists in Tennessee would have responded even without President Bush's inspiration. In fact, we responded to the needy even when Clinton was President. Just an observation. </font>[/QUOTE]You post THIS right after you warn another member it's a pro Bush thread!
    :confused:

    Enjoy throwing a little cold water on praise for President Bush, do you? ;)

    How is this thread in violation of board policy? Are you angry CMG because you did not think of it first?

    President Bush is a patriot who does what he sincerely thinks is best for his country.

    President Bush takes his oath of office seriously.

    I keep trying Sue. I am saddened that a thread started to praise President Bush, even by those who are not 100% behind him, has been derailed inot a thread questioning motives.

    President Bush behaves like a leader at international affairs.

    This is from the official White House web site for kids:

    Did you not see the Barney Christmas video? The Barney videos are here:

    Agreed. [​IMG]

    Sorry you feel that way.

    When President Bush had two former Presidents working together for the tsunami victims, it was a good idea.

    I see President Bush as a "real" person. I would love to have he and Mrs Bush in for a cuppa tea ;) .

    It's difficult to read exactly what's in another man's heart. I believe the Bible makes it clear that's something we can't really do.

    It does seem to me there was an element of sarcasm in the establishment of this thread. It seems it's just a way for C4K to prove his point that he does not "hate" the President but only disagrees with his policies. C4K's insistence that only pro comments be posted is very unusual, from what I've seen, since other threads don't have such limitations in either direction. Of course, there comes a point where we have to accept a person's stated reasons since we can't really "see" into their inner motives.

    Perhaps this thread should be moderated by someone other than C4K, a moderator, since there is a rather obvious conflict of interest involved? But, then, all moderators have strong political bias just like the rest of us mere mortal contributors! That's been made clear more than once to me.

    Regardless, this is another opportunity to express whatever we believe about the President and his actions. Our comments, pro or con, are not restricted to this discussion. We're still free to post comments on other threads as well. There are plenty of threads with "Bush hater", anti-war, anti-government, or whatever themes to choose from!

    I don't know whether every one we label as a "Bush hater" truly hates the person. Labels are frequently too broad for specifics. Some, I suspect, do actually hate the President in a very serious way. Some, just don't like his polices. Some, truly believe serious problems exist and need to be addressed differently. Some just like to complain and blame anyone in a position of responsibility.

    I do know that there's a whole lot of unmerited criticism and blame put upon the President - and others as well - for things that are beyond his ability to handle, not his duty to handle, or that he is, in fact, handling very well.

    President Bush is sticks to his commitments. He is not a compromiser.

    I do not understand the conflict. I simply wanted a thread where all posters, those who support President Bush 100%, those who do not like some of his policies, those who did not vote for him, and those who oppose him could all have an opportunity to say something in favour of him.

    The BB has often run "protected threads" in the past. This is not unique. The suggestion that moderators not moderate threads which they start which pretty much accepted practice, unless there is a clear violation of the rules.

    Why is this so contentious? Why the big fight? Can we not just take this as it was intended and everyone look for the good in our President? Am I destroying the preconceived that anyone who did not vote for President Bush hates him?

    In starting a pro-President thread I have been accused of hypocrisy and sarcasm. Can you point out one false, hypocritical, or sarcastic post here that supports that accusation?

    Can we please keep this thread on topic? The topic is to post favourable statements about the president.

    President Bush held the nation together brilliantly in the days around 9/11 when we were our most fragile.

    As my Mom used to say:

    "If you can't find anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

    President Bush honors God and his family with his committment to them.

    Another thing to like about him is that his wife is Laura Bush.
