President Bush
Bush, thank you for eight years of pre-emptive war with a former ally in Saddam and a sovereign Iraq, rapid use of torture, sluggish reaction to natural disasters, and for destroying our once-valued Constitution.
Congratulations, you made this country less admired by the world with your fascist-like policies and fear-driven ideology.
Mr.
Ex-president, the world will miss the moments of your misguided signage and verbal mumblings; we all know oratory skills are not a requisite for presidency, and you were certainly proof of that.
Your good-old boy attitude will not be forgotten; I recall the contemptuous grin on your face when you spoke to Rummy about the war, and the bewildered look in your eyes when asked tough questions by intellectually superior grade-schoolers.
Some of your decisions might have gone unnoticed, but we all heard the constant reverberation of war drums coming from your former pad on Pennsylvania Avenue.
When you are back in Texas, rest well knowing that 30 percent of the U.
S.
population approved of the job you were doing upon your departure, one of the lowest approval ratings ever for a president.
It must have been difficult, sir, not knowing the difference between Shiite Muslims from Sunni Muslims, lacking historical knowledge of the Middle East.
As much as I will miss the mockery called the Bush Administration, I look forward to the future.
I am hopeful that President Obama can dilute the stench of beer and powdery white stuff wafting from the Oval Office.
Oh wait, you stopped using that stuff during your heyday in the Skull and Bones cult.
My final word to you, Mr.
Bush, hurry up and get your rear-end to Texas and start saying your prayers, history is coming to get you.
