Speaking of Bush


He’s outta there! I wonder what it must feel like to have everyone (meaning… the entire world) cheering for your departure. Does he even know? Or does he just chock it up to misunderstanding? Perhaps it is. I really do hope that one day 20 years from now some information comes to light that reveals Bush chose to become a hated man in order to keep the real reasons for war and nepotism secret. And we’ll all say, “Oh, Georgie! You were willing to become a hated man to save us from apocalypse! Thank you. Thank you so much!” And we’ll build him a monument and carry his saggy ass on our shoulders.

Until that time…. OBAMA! Every time I say that I am American (which I am finally not embarrassed to admit), someone has an encouraging word about the state of affairs. And most everyone I’ve met (from all corners of the world) mentions that they were glued to the TV with fingers crossed on November 4th. Obama is not just “America’s first black president.” He is a world leader who has, regardless of his skin color, ignited hope in the hearts of people around the entire planet.

FEB UPDATE: Just watched Obama’s first press conference. Man it feels great to have a president who knows how to answer questions! Finally.
