Of all of the things I have written about President George W. Bush, I never thought I would write the following line: He is a quitter.
I could always rely on W to be the "decider guy" out there making all the bonehead moves he has made over the years. But to give up? Nah, say it ain't so.
Well, it is. With two months left in his presidency and in the middle of the worst economic crisis this nation has seen since The Great Depression, George Bush has basically handed the keys to Barack Obama. Never mind the fact that, by law, he has to serve us until January 20th.
As we have seen for the last eight years, Bush has no clue what the fuck is going on. His incompetence in handling this crisis is monumental and so, rather than trot out his usual propaganda of "everything is fine, don't believe your eyes," he has elected to head on down the road to pasture.
Because he knows that everything is not fine and it is probably going to get worse. And, by and large, it is his fault for mainly doing nothing (due to the fact that he knows nothing) and partially thinking, erroneously, that the free market would take care of itself.
So, I guess his complete and utter failure is now complete....well, except for the 24 percent of the country (see the real "victim culture" on the right) who think it is all someone else's fault. I guess it's time for someone who is actually competent to clean up the mess. The cynic in me wonders if he can.

I'm really not sure what purpose it serves to kick Bush again when he's down, but sure, I'll pile on.
Seems to me Bush's heart wasn't really into being president after getting reelected in 2004. Then in 2006 he really lost all interest when the Democrats took control of the House and Senate.
He was never interested in the policy aspects of the presidency. He wanted it because he was a glory hound, had a daddy complex and the delusion that he was some cowboy diplomat who was going to change the world.
When Iraq blew up in his face, Katrina demonstrated his incompetence and the economy melted down, the handwriting was pretty much on the wall that he'd go down in history as one of the worst presidents. Not a lot to be happy about.
These days Bush has the sheepish look of a frat boy sitting in the burned-out shell of his frat house after a wild night of booze and drugs. He can't remember exactly how the fire got started, but he's sure it's not his fault. And someone else is going to clean up the mess.
you guys may as well talk about bush some more because most of you aren't going to have much to talk about after january when you won't have anyone to criticize or blame for your problems.
He can't remember exactly how the fire got started, but he's sure it's not his fault.
And it was a great party up to that point.
Funny how the Repubs surely regret running a cipher for President in 2000.
