Bush years have been good years

Recently we actually had to endure a letter from Elaine Gough of Westchester calling President Bush and his administration treasonous and also calling for their impeachment, the double whammy!

Hey, Elaine, if you want credibility with any letter, you need to add some conclusive facts to your allegations-you had none. My guess is that you have no facts, simply a hatred for President Bush.

However, if there was a chance that any of your accusations held water, the Dems/liberals would have jumped all over them. I believe you will see the Bush administration end their term with heads held high and history judging them favorably, as in the case of President Truman.

What you and your ilk seem to forget is a very important part of Bush's decision to go to war - he had the approval and backing of Congress. Nothing unconstitutional about that! War is ugly, but a necessary evil to combat people looking to kill us.

President Bush entered office in a recession, then Sept. 11, then consumer confidence at an all-time low with the corruption from corporations like Enron that were allowed to build during the Clinton days (which affected the stock market and economy), and what did Bush do? He has been able to protect us from another attack, build up the economy, bring back the stock market to over 13,000, gain the respect from other parts of the world through recent elections of conservative leaders, successful in Libya's Moammar Gaddafi declaring his WMD and destroying them, prosecuting those CEOs and executives responsible for ruining the financial lives of many Americans, and successful in facilitating the six-country discussions with North Korea. These are some of his achievements, the list goes on.

Although I do not agree with some of the Bush policies and the way the war was run, I do believe he was the right person at the time. Especially ahead of Gore or Kerry!

Now, in less than two years, the Democratic Congress has achieved a hurt to the economy again with their stonewalling on moving an energy plan. I would hold U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid accountable for treason, and call for their impeachment.

Now, these are undisputed facts!
