Bye bye Bush
I’m going to miss George W. Bush.
Our 43rd president wasn’t perfect by any means, but out of the three presidents I can remember, he is my favorite. When I was little, it seemed like Bill Clinton had been president forever. I don’t have any memory of Bush 41, and until Bush 43 was elected, it seemed like the name Clinton was basically synonymous with the word president. In the 2000 election (the first election when I was actually into politics) I rooted for Bush, and I was happy when he won. Same with 2004. In this election, let’s just say I wasn’t overly thrilled with the result.
Although I am trying to give Obama a chance, I liked Bush better and am sad to see him leave. He had a few policies I didn’t agree with, such as increasing AIDS funding for Africa, spending so much money on the Iraq War, and increasing airport security, but overall I think he was one of our better presidents.
