HillBuzz is a website I first found during the 20008 Presidential Primary Elections. It is run by a group of gay Chicagoans who support Hillary Clinton for President. I don't spend a lot of time at that site, but there was a link I stumbled across in my internet surfing that intrigued me.
One of things that we have been struggling with in American politics for a while is civility. There are problems on both sides, but I seem to notice that they are more common on one particular side. One of the things I have not liked from either side is the personal attacks on whoever holds the office of President. Unfortunately, there have been some unfair personal attacks on President Obama and the unfair personal attacks on George Bush continue even after he has left public life.
The linked article at HillBuzz is a thank you to George and Laura Bush for the time they spent (without seeking publicity) with the Fort Hood soldiers. The article notes the compassion, class, and willingness to solve problems of our former President.
This website was set up to help Hillary Clinton run for office, so there may be an underlying purpose in this article. I believe that President Obama may be challenged in a Democrat primary in 2012. He is vulnerable to challenges from his left and from his right. You can't vote "present" continually when you are the President of the country and expect to stay in office. This article may be the beginning of a challenge to the President from his right. The other challenger from the right may be Evan Bayh. Watch his actions in regard to the healthcare bill.
At any rate, it was nice to read the article.
