In the past I have been criticized for not being very positive in my observations relative to our outgoing president "w" and his side-kick "Big Time" Cheney. I must say that my actions never came close to the vitriol and vituperative hate expressed by right-wingers toward probably the best president we had over the last sixty years; Bill Clinton. There are very few reasonable people who wouldn't jump at the chance to have Clinton back in office or trade places with our country's economic circumstances in the 90's with those of today.

My what a difference eight years makes. I can think of very few things I agreed with that "w" did during his time in office but since the most recent election I can honestly say thanks. Without his efforts the results of this election would never have happened. He was the best player on our team. He proved beyond any doubt that the republican party was completely inept at governing and that their ideas are pathetically impotent. With a base of rabid right-wing fundamentalist evangelicals like James Dobson, and others ready to impose their vindictive religion on all Americans what did you expect from a country founded on the personal freedoms of a secular Constitution? Their party is in shambles and they have no respected leaders ready to pick up the pieces. Try starting over with a new party based on the principals of the U.S. Constitution.

Without a nemesis to attack or impeach, as they had in the 90's, they seem to be lost in the wilderness of one-sided FOX news and right-wing talk-show ineptitude. Liberals had so many legitimate reasons to impeach w & cheney but chose not to waste the country's time the way the repus did in 99. This election impeached just about all deserving republicans anyway; without a doubt. The country has spoken. I just wonder if republicans are listening? With "w's" approval ratings the lowest in history I look forward to hearing from bush after he goes back to Crawfish, Texas and tells his one-sided story with Hannity or Rush. "W" was asked to write an autobiography but has declined. He said he didn't know that much about cars. That just about sums it up doesn't it?

So long and thanks again for bringing intelligence and competence back to D.C. It seems appropriate that the racist G.O.P. would be responsible for having a black president have to come in and pick up their trash and clean up all the messes they made. The only good side for Obama is that the only way he has to go is up. Minorities have had to live with arrogant, self-entitled, and elitist conservatives for over 200 years. It's about time things change. And once again, thanks "w;" Mission accomplished!
