On November 4th, one of the strangest and worst eras in our country's history will come to a close. I think it is safe to say that George W Bush has effectively destroyed any chance a future Bush has of getting into the white house. That has to be particularly frustrating to Governor Jeb Bush who has hinted at wanting to run for the presidency. However with W's approval rating at 25% (lowest in US history) I think it will be a long long time before anyone in this country could even stomach the thought of another Bush running for president. Truth be told had George Bush Sr's role in the Iran Contra affair not been downplayed chances are W wouldnt have even gotten the nomination. However he did and thus the strangest story in American Politics was written. Why is it that W has been such a bumpkin as a president? There are I think a few answers to that. The first is the handling of the post 9-11 affairs. W handled himself really well after the whole 9-11 attack took place. A scared nation looked to George Bush to calm its fears and for retribution and we were given just that. Bush waged war on Iraq and within a few weeks American troops had effectively dismantled Saddam Hussein's regime. After a few months Saddam's two sons were killed and the madman himself was caught by U.S. Forces. Then things started to fall apart. The American public learned that it's leaders, the ones they looked up to when uncertainty ruled the land, had lied to them and started a war under false pretenses. Even so, there was a feeling that what we were doing was right and just. After all Saddam had to go. He was a vile evil man and his death made the world a better place. Then we learned that the government had given Iraq 80 Billion dollars which the new Iraqi Government was just sitting on while the US spent 10 billion a month in Iraq. This led to the real downfall...the economy. In 2007 the stock market reached an all time high coming in at over 14,000.56. Exactly 1 year later the stock market rests at just over 8,000. Trillions of dollars have been lost in the last year, many people have lost their jobs and their homes, and there is a general sense of panic among the public that we are headed for another depression. George Bush has mishandled every crisis that has come his way and it was no surprise that he mishandled this one. Next January the Bush circus will fold up its tents and roll out of Washington where for $200,000 you can hire the circus and its disgraced ringmaster to speak for a few hours at a company gathering or a fundraiser or charity event. However in Washington the show must go on and a new circus will roll into town. Be it John McCain or Barack Obama. All I know is that I feel bad for whoever gets elected because he will have 4 years to clean up an 8 year mess. God help the next president of the United States because he is going to need it. In God, Rev. Williamson
