It's Almost Time to Say Goodnight to Bush!

Eight years of terror, humiliation of the American people, economic pitfalls, senseless war and flat-out stupidity are coming to an end. Nest Tuesday, Barack Obama will officially transition from President-Elect to the President of the United States. To celebrate, I think someone should buy me Goodnight Bush, a cute parody fashioned after children's book must-have, Goodnight Moon.

I am absolutely elated that Bush's reign of failure is closing. I'd all but given up on the US of A until the great states came to their senses and elected President Obama. I sincerely believe that the next eight years will bring prosperity, opportunity, peace and promising international relations. Let's take a look at Bush's stance on these issues over the past two terms:

"It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity, and incumbency." -George W. Bush, June 14, 2001, speaking to Swedish Prime Minister Goran Perrson, unaware that a live television camera was still rolling.

"See, we love - we love freedom. That's what they didn't understand. They hate things; we love things. They act out of hatred; we don't seek revenge, we seek justice out of love." -George W. Bush, Oklahoma City, Aug. 29, 2002

"I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things." -George W. Bush, aboard Air Force One, June 4, 2003

"I'm not the expert on how the Iraqi people think, because I live in America, where it's nice and safe and secure." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Sept. 23, 2004

"I like the idea of people running for office. There's a positive effect when you run for office. Maybe some will run for office and say, vote for me, I look forward to blowing up America. I don't know, I don't know if that will be their platform or not. But it's -- I don't think so. I think people who generally run for office say, vote for me, I'm looking forward to fixing your potholes, or making sure you got bread on the table." --George W. Bush, on elections in the Middle East, Washington, D.C., March 16, 2005

"You know, when I campaigned here in 2000, I said, I want to be a war President. No President wants to be a war President, but I am one." --George W. Bush, Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 26, 2006

"I heard somebody say, 'Where's (Nelson) Mandela?' Well, Mandela's dead. Because Saddam killed all the Mandelas." --George W. Bush, on the former South African president, who is still very much alive, Washington, D.C., Sept. 20, 2007

"I've been in the Bible every day since I've been the president." --George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., Nov. 12, 2008
