all that good will spent. All those good feelings about the US and what it stood for, squandered.

40. waste.
I was 29 going on 30 when Bush was elected. I feel like a whole decade of hopes and good health in the prime of life was just pissed down the drain. It's definitely changed my whole world view.

52. Awestruck.. Bush has proven himself to be even MORE stupid and inept than I thought he was in 2000.
Which is no small accomplishment, since I gave him credit for being as dumb as a well boiled turnip.
