In response to "musubi, from the bb's, I get, and respect, where you're coming from..." by Stephen

Well, this sounds positive. As an outside observer, I agree with some of what you've said about Obama.

My fervent hope is that, in 100 years, history looks back on Dubya and doesn't forget to leave out the big black marks he's left on the country. I realize that's counter to Obama's hope of rebuilding the country, but frankly, George Walker Bush was *THAT BAD*.

Now, he did manage to do some good things (See: Fighting AIDS in Africa), so those deserve to be remembered, too. But he's pretty much destroyed your country in the eyes of the rest of the world, and the people on the right wing need to recognize that and accept any olive branch they can find.

Obama probably won't be the greatest president ever, but that doesn't matter right now. What matters is recovering from Hurricane Bush, and he says he wants to try, so you may as well take him at his word.

I've often wondered how Bush would be viewed by Americans if the following hypothetical situation came to pass. - Loyola Nov 7, 16:05 2
- i think the split on that would be about what it is now. - Guy Nov 7, 16:15 1
  - It's certainly optimistic to think that half the country would demand to pay 4 times higher gas prices for the reason that they didn't agree about how - Loyola Nov 7, 16:21
I will take your double negative as a Freudian slip. - Dr.Vermin Nov 7, 16:00 3
- I'll take that bet. our grandkids can collect. - Will Hunting Nov 7, 16:11
- see? Bush is still a hero. if you think the last 8 years were a success, we're doomed to repeat it all over again. -- nm - Guy Nov 7, 16:09
- *ahem* Yes, thank you for that consideration. However, I still think that his presidency was a clusterfuck. :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 16:05
