Where to begin? I suppose I could go off on the usual rant about his failings as a President but that would be redundant. History will tell if he is indeed the worst President ever and although I'm tempted to say that that's what will happen I can't in truth say that some of his actions did not save us from something far greater than September 11. However I think in his case that the bad will far out weigh the good. Maybe and perhaps I'm reaching, we needed someone like Bush to save us from ourselves and wake us up from the malaise we had found ourselves in after fifty years of decline. Once we realized just how dangerous someone like Bush has been for our nation it motivated people to think beyond their comfort zones and find that this nation needs more than it's citizens sitting on the sidelines while someone tells them what to think and looses the game at the same time. I'm not big on sports metaphors but I think a team is usually only as good as its coach. Once we woke up an saw just what we've become and people finally started admiting that the Emperor isn't wearing any cloths perhaps that was enough to push people to vote. I don't know, but it would be nice to think that after all the bad that has happened in the last eight years that the potential for good that may come from the Obama administration has made some of the horrible sacrifices American families have had to make worth something.
