Yippee!
I caught a small portion of his farewell address to the nation on Thursday while picking up some tamales from a nearby restaurant.
I find it interesting that he constantly (especially in his campaign out the door) is trying to sell the idea that the U.S. is safer today than pre-9/11. His sales tactic goes something like this: "We have not had an attack on U.S. soil since that day." And according to him, it's due to his efforts.
If you remember with me, back to the post 9/11 days, you might recall the very real fear of Anthrax. It began on 9/18/01. The attacks killed 5 people and infected 17 more. It was classified as a terrorist attack. Maybe because the fall guy wasn't middle-eastern it doesn't get classified in the same category, now, as 9/11 crowd, but it WAS post 9/11 and it was a terrorist act AND it was and remains still, a very real threat and fear held by a lot of Americans.
If you want a reminder of history, check out Wikipedia.
Do I feel the world is better on his way out the door as it was on his way IN the door? I'd be a fool's fool if I did. And the king of fools is out trying to sale the idea to the American public - His so called legacy.
Bush's True Legacy:
I'm looking forward to Tuesday along with so many other Americans. I look forward to seeing Obama sworn into office and hearing what will be an electrifying speech. What a great and momentous day we have before us!
I know I've posted this here before, but it bears repeating:
I am so excited for Tuesday!!!
