President Bush's Farewell Address:haha....no
So President Bush is about to interrupt primetime television to present a speech to the American people. No this is not the state of the union address nor even an inauguration. This speech will be a farewell address. You may wonder why he feels such a speech is necessary. Well, it isn't. While many Presidents have made similar addresses, they only make sense when a President is bidding farewell to a nation which is generally sad to see him (or in the future, her) leave. In case the rest of you haven't noticed...... WE DON'T LIKE HIM! Let's remember all the good he has done for us: -link us to a two-front "War on Terror" in two hostile nations with absolutely no exit strategy -essentially ruin the economic success of the Clinton era by allowing subprime mortgages and credit default swaps to go unrestricted -destroyed America's international face -distanced our allies -enraged our enemies -told us that the "Mission was accomplished" (hmmmm am I missing something or is that war still killing American soldiers?) -failed to utilize American patriotism for a true multigenerational movement in the aftermath of 9/11 like a total overhaul of green technologies -made many, many Americans despise their own government and national identity
