For President Bush, it seems, love is in the air.
Standing Friday before a welcoming crowd at Texas A&M University, he talked about the "unconditional love" he received from his father, the "gift of love" given by a couple who care for foster children, and his eagerness to return to the "place I love" once he leaves office.
The president who once dared militants to "bring 'em on" is getting a bit misty in his final weeks, taking frequent opportunities to explore his sensitive side while discussing his legacy -- from the importance of his Christian faith to his conviction that, sometimes, all we need is love.
In his weekly radio address Saturday, Bush referred to the "loving influence of God" and called on those battling addiction "to seek treatment, because your life is precious to the people who love you."
In defending federal anti-drug programs recently, the president said: "Government must not fear places of love." In a television interview, he pondered God's love and how he seeks to show "appreciation for that love." At a meeting with children of prisoners this month, he extolled the virtues of loving those who are less fortunate.
"Oh, it takes some time, it takes a little bit of extra love, but by helping a child, you can really help the country," he said in North Carolina. "You help yourself by loving, but you help America -- one heart, one soul at a time."
It's a little too late to repent your sins Bushy...
