Barack Obama could stand to learn a thing or two from President Bush. President Bush spoke for nearly a half hour and uttered no words of praise upon himself. He lifted up the works of others and spoke of heroism, character true values. He spoke with true honor and love in his heart when referring to his father and home land, he spoke with conviction and truth and humor. So while keeping silent on his self, who he is as a person spoke volumes. Well done Mr President
It’s remarkable that he has maintained high popularity in Texas, a traditionally Democratic state, throughout his time as Governor and now as he ends his Presidency.
A near 25 minute speech in length and NO teleprompter! I wonder how Obama will sound when he goes off to some Liberal school.
I..uh…wanted to uh…uh…congradulate you…for uh…for a job…uh…well done.
I was one of those Galveston Aggies he mentioned. I wanted to thank all of C.S. for making the 1600 of us welcome while our small campus was being fixed up along with the rest of Galveston. Especially when you showed us on our little maps how to get from point A to B when lost.
I didn’t say “generally” democratic, I said traditionally. There have been 39 Democratic Governors, and only 6 Republican governors. Only until very recently has Texas had a Republican Governor and a Republican cabinet. And the State’s population is still 40% democratic.
Don’t know where you’ve been… staying far from history books obviously.

Great man. He was able to maintain his character even when the media tried to shred him to bits. We are happy to welcome him home to TEXAS!!
