Just a good Old Boy

My brother and I were sitting on the patio enjoying an iced tea and discussing a blog I wrote, Only in America. He made a comment about the President’s actions, which puts everything President Bush does in the proper perspective; “people need to remember that he is just a good old boy from Texas”.

The undeniable truth of his comment hit me, he is a good old boy and it explains his actions perfectly. The President loves God and country, in that order, he is dedicated to freedom and he loves life and loves to laugh, even when it is at his own expense.

President Bush grew up in Midland and Houston, Texas. After graduating from college, he spent the rest of his life in Texas and served in the Texas National Guard as an F 102 Fighter Pilot. He served as Governor of Texas from 1994 – 2000 and speaks a mix of Spanish more commonly known as Tex-Mex. The President has a working ranch located in Crawford, Texas and more often than not proudly calls himself a Texan, being the leader of the free world allows him to do just that. By the way, if anyone is interested the President’s biography is available for reading at this link.

Now that we have that out of the way let’s get down to basics, there are three things a Texan loves most, God, Country and Texas, well, we need to throw in freedom too. Texans have a fondness for freedom, they come by it from excellent people too, Sam Houston to name one along with a few more that fought at a place called the Alamo.

If you ever want to know just how seriously a Texan takes his or her freedom just pose that question to Ozzie Osborn, the state of Texas did not appreciate it too much when he urinated on the Alamo, he can tell you all about a Texan’s love for freedom.

Yes, we have had our share of southern Presidents, but none as fun loving as George W. Bush. Our President even brought a Bush look-alike entertainer to a press function; the look-alike stood at an identical podium and would say what was really on the President’s mind. See, fun loving.

All of the people in the rest of the world who love to make snide remarks about our President better remember that he is a Texan and yes, they love fun, but go to far and well, you can imagine the rest.
