the political demise of George W. Bush

On my website blog, I've posted plenty about the campaign which I'm now heartily sick of hearing about, and the current economic crisis.

The administration and both candidates have been pressuring Congress and the public to accept their two bailout packages and it seems that, up till now, neither will. In the past, the Bushies had everyone quaking in their boots to make them accept the most egregious of their programs including the Iraq War, The Patriot Act and their botched responses to virtually everything. It seems now the public has had enough.

For myself, I don't want to see another Bush appointee in charge of anything let alone the financial system. And I don't want to see any more theft of taxpayer dollars which has already gone on for 8 years.

Halliburton and the big oil companies can go you-know-what, in the words of our beloved vice-president, Darth Vader. And also, in the words of Peter Finch in "Network" and also the title of one of my blogs "We're mad as hell..."

If you think I'm exaggerating please read this article and comments.

I have not been the most fervent Obama supporter and have not liked his "move to the right". I've been told this is politically necessary which may be true but I thought he was doing well enough before.

We cannot expect miracles from Obama or anyone else but look at the alternative, the Bush clone McCain who can only promise 4 more years continuation of the most disastrous administration we have ever had.

Get over it America and vote for Obama!
