Beating the Bush

The more I think about it, the more the Bush presidency angers me. Throughout the last 6 plus years of the Bush regime we have seen a steep decline in the state of US affairs and our reputation abroad. We are trillions and trillions of dollars in debt; due to a war we have no reason to be fight. Even now President find no fault in proposing ridiculous budgets of 3 plus trillion dollars (which, thank god, was rejected). And yet he seems to forget that our economy is on the verge of collapse, our dollar is losing value everyday, and around the world we can hear the chants of hate for Americans. Our president has dug us into a very deep hole, and there seems to be no way out. Right now, because of our nonexistent foreign policy and complete disregard of UN mandates, OPEC is threatening to pull out of the dollar and do business in the Euro. I guess President Bush should have thought about the repercussions of pissing of the Venezuelans, and, well, almost the entire Arab “brotherhood.” More than half the world blames us for a good portion of global warming and the UN has yet to forget about President Bush’s blatant disregard for dialogue and the sovereignty of the UN. All in all, we are simply broke and hated worldwide. So what are we to do? For now, we can only pray our next president does not follow in the footsteps of his (or her) predecessor and learns not to let history repeat.
