Now of course are going to come pages and pages of right wing trolls trying to gloss over Bush's failures by blaming everything on Clinton and the democrats and making excuses for why the Iraq war is somehow not Bush's fault.
Bush failed because he was never qualified in the first place. Even if 9/11 had never happened this frat boy would have run America into the ground. He was elected for all the wrong reasons in 2000 so it shouldn't come as any surprise he doesn't know how to do anything. The only reason anyone voted for him was because he said Jesus a bunch of times or they thought they were going to get back a bunch of money they never made in the first place.
George W. Bush said more about the state of America in the late twentieth century then we were ever willing to acknowledge on our own. He is the end result of a society that is so successful we can afford to elect our leaders based on nothing more then who someone else wants to marry or some other trait that has nothing to do with fixing actual problems. And that is exactly what we got, someone who can't fix any problems. Because he was never elected to in the first place. He was elected to overturn Roe or make it easier for people to buy assault rifles they never needed or cut taxes you never really paid but think you did because you listened to some guy on the radio who knew you didn't in the first place tell you you did. Distraction and selfish ignorance got Bush elected and we the world as a whole paid the price.
Those of us who never fell for this stupidity have paid more dearly then most because we realized early on this man was never qualified but still had to live through him anyway. Let's hope society as a whole has learned something too.
