I’m not one of those people who one could say that I would anoint President Bush for sainthood. But he simply does not deserve to blamed for any of this. The vitriol and hatred for this man even exceeds my recollection of the hatred shown towards Richard Nixon. Overwhelmingly, it is not deserved. Perhaps the one thing I would severely criticize George Bush for is the fact that he would not publicly take on his critics. He let the wolves circle for most of the eight years of his presidency, and now the wolfpack is in for the kill.

I am ashamed of my country and most of its citizens, that they would succumb to the venal stupidity of scapegoating when they truly do not know the real nuts and bolts of why the housing bubble, energy prices, and the sub prime mortgage market are driving the economy into recession.

That they would freely choose to put a socialist into the office that George Bush now occupies is mindbending. That they would opt to surrender to our enemies and be happy with defeat simply beggars belief. I only hope that our people are not so stupid that they will not learn from the next four years. If they don’t, this country is pretty much finished as a great one with a unique heritage. It will be over. Finis.
