History's judgement of Bush

As we stand on the edge of changing this great country for ever, on the precipice of falling back into the Old World from which we have risen so magnificently - I can't help but thinking of the man who made it all possible.

I am thinking of you, Mr. Bush 48. You probably hope that history will remember you for free Iraq. Your opponents hope that you will be judged on Katrina and Patriot Act. But I think the real thing remembered after 100 years about you will be Obama.

You see, Mr. Bush - it's your heavy hand and dumb mistakes in execution allowed our nation to elect someone so personally vacuous and ideologically socialist as Obama. Your presidency's main result was the feeling of anger against you that allowed the election of the man responsible for all the disasters we see now.

I hope you're happy with your legacy, Mr. Bush. Stimulus, Climate Bill, Social Medicine. All this became possible because of you.
