Bush’s Last Speechifying
So, I wasn’t going to watch this, but I figured what the hell. It is too freaking cold to go anywhere or to live.
Wow, he’s citing Afghanistan as a success story. Oh, and followed by Iraq, so great!
Bush acknowledged that there is ‘legitimate debate’ about some of the decisions he’s made, but ‘there can be little debate about the results.’ Um, I disagree with both that assessment and nearly everything he’s done.
He just can’t stop the smirk. I think it’s his nervous tic. (But, oh the rage it inspires.)
He also think he’s ‘expand[ed] opportunity and hope here at home.’ It appears he means NCLB and Medicare .
‘Vulnerable human life is better protected’ and America’s air and water are cleaner. I know he genuinely believes that first one, but it takes some serious gumption to look straight in the camera and say his environmental policy has been beneficial to the environment in any way.
But, oooh, oooh! This is the last time we’re going to see him as our president!
I remember thinking in 2004 that we wouldn’t get through these four years, but somehow we did. Not unscathed, but there are only 4.5 more days of this nonsense. And I get to spend the last two of them on vaycay.
I’m just glad he didn’t preempt The Office or 30 Rock. When I saw he was speaking at 8 I was incensed, but the existence of central time means he didn’t ruin absolutely everything he touches.
I mean, I’ll probably just watch them on Hulu anyway, but it’s the thought that counts.
And this is what I chose to blog about today. I dedicate it to the happy thought of Citizen Bush.
