This letter is in response to a Jan. 22 letter to the editor titled “Accept it” by Leah Nicole Hadley of Sumner.
Ms. Hadley tells us in her letter that we should just accept that George Bush is our president. She claims that he was chosen by God to be our leader, that he leads a moral life and is a knowledgeable man who obtained a “high-class” education after high school. She also claims it is a fact that he is one of the best presidents our country ever had.
Ms. Hadley needs to wise up to a few things, and I would be happy to enlighten her and anyone else who is of the same opinion. George Bush did not become president because of God. A small, unimpressive majority elected him. Attending a “high-class” college does not make someone more knowledgeable than anyone else. I also want to point out that just because someone claims to be Christian does not make one moral. There are many who claim to be Christians but go around damning others for being sinners when they are no better themselves.
Furthermore, to say Bush is one of the best presidents in history would put him in the same league as Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy and even Bill Clinton. Bush hardly comes close, and Ms. Hadley needs to accept it.
