Is it just me or did it feel like Bush was president FOREVER
I was just thinking that today when I was walking around the mall.

I feel like a weight has been lifted.

2. Yes, it was like time stopped or something
It's like having a nightmare when you know that you should not have a hokey pokey contest with John McCain (a dream that I had) but you can't wake up and it goes on and on.

10. Bush was 100 days in office when my son was born
I was hoping Bush would lose in 2004 so he'd have no memory of W being prez

5. Yes. He's been president for my son's whole life and most of my younger daughter's.
And for nearly as long as I've lived in Idaho (we moved here from Minnesota in October of 2000).

It feels so very much longer than the eight years Bill Clinton was president.

7. No it wasn't just you.
The last eight years have been a living hell.

And the next two months will be positively
excruciating.
