George W. Bush has been elected the President of the United States of America. He is the President of U.S.A. For tis alone he deserves the respect of the people of the world. I can only imagine what accomplishments had to be made and how much work was involved to get to the position he holds today. It seems to me that he has many convictions that he is determined to fight for. Whether these convictions come from outside influences or within, most of us can only speculate. And as far as I'm concerned, irrelevant. At least he has the balls to be doing something, rather than just talking about it. Sure, he is pissing some people off in the process but you will never be able to appease the entire population with a single course of action. He was elected by a clear majority of the American population to make the tough decisions for the citizens of the U.S. His tactics and policies may not always be well liked but the changes are evident and the benifits are clear.
I spent the early part of Wednesday afternoon walking throughout the downtown area of Halifax and I have to say it was quite a sight.The preperation, execution and protests were evident througout the downtown core. From excitement to indifference, and everything in between. Even the protesters had a little party on Spring Garden Road, after they performed a mock trial putting President Bush on trial for war crimes (which for some reason there was no representative for the defense).but hey it was "better than sitting in class all day".(heard it with my own ears)
Bottom line a presidential state visit to Halifax is a good thing for Halifax.
