I make this a separate entry because the thoughts Iwish to express are so contrary to that post - even contrary to how I feel at the moment.

Our nightmare ends today.

The Bush presidency will go down as perhaps the greatest failed presidency in history.

As I write the neo cons and the far right pundits attempt to re-write history.

They are using phrases like "The Obama Recession" and "The Bush Recovery Plan".

It wont work.

It wont work because Bush is not a failure for the things that went wrong in his tenure. He is a failure for what he is.

His administration of blame and shame was his failure.

Why worry about some guy living in a cave. What could he possibly do?

In the wake of our greatest tragedy was the greatest international support for this nation in history.

Do I use it to unify the world for generations to come?

No - I take it as an opportunity to be the playground bully and dictate terms for how I want the world to be.

After the greatest natural disaster in our nations history I find out that the frat boy buddies I appointed are incapable do I make decisive changes to get back on track?

No - I find a way to blame the victims and the other party for what went wrong.

When the nation needed someone to comfort us and be our strength. When we needed to call on all the talent available to us. When we needed to know we were all included did you reach out?

No - You chose instead to spend your political capital purging your perceived enemies.

Good people who's job it was to tell you when you were wrong - did you listen to them?

No you chose to drive them away. Even to ruin some of their lives.

Some say your failure was in trying to rule by deceit. But self deceit was your real failure.

So now you go back to Texas to build your Library. You leave behind your mess for others to clean up.

We will clean it up. We will because your lack of faith in the American people was misplaced.

In the end your failure was that you just don't get it.

Not only that you don't get it but that you are incapable of getting it.
