After 8 Years Of Grief & Sorrow-Bush Finally Says Something I Can Wrap My Hurting Head Around...

[kpete]

Bush ‘relieved’ his presidency is almost over

Even if burdened, he also has the lightness of a man who knows the burden will soon be lifted. At a closed-door fund-raiser in St. Louis last Friday night, Mr. Bush was humorous and relaxed, said John C. Danforth, the former senator from Missouri, who was there. The president sounded a note about “tough times,” in reference to the economy, and “seemed relieved” that his presidency was nearly over, Mr. Danforth said.

“It was very unusual, I thought,” Mr. Danforth said. “I think it was a man who was relaxed and funny and looked as though he was about to shed this burden of the presidency. In a way, his speech seemed kind of like a valedictory. I took it as though, ‘I’ve done the best I can, I think I made the right decisions and now it’s almost over.’ ”

1. He gets no sympathy from me

Sure his presidency is almost over, but while he gets to go home to his rich cronies, we have to suffer through economic turmoil.

2. It's not over for us though...

This world will be living inside his wake of destruction for generations to come.

Oh well. Bush enjoys gaining access to jobs and positions that he doesn't deserve--then leaving a horrendous
mess or others to mop up.

Usually his daddy cleans up the mess. This time, it's the entire United States of America that will
be brandishing the mops, buckets and Pine Sol.
