on the eve of a new presidency i wanted to take some time to reflect on the past administration. the bush years.

it seems as though it was just yesterday that we elected him. and as we are today, we were excited to see him come in to office. we were and had been under clinton for so long. we were tired of his sexual exploitations. tired of his ruling, all the drama that he brought into the office. and when bush came in. it was filled of promises. it was a new day. man we couldn't wait for him to come in. and for the first few months, it was great. everything and everyone was happy.

and then 9/11 happened.

and who could have predicted, or foreseen such an event as that? who could have expected any president whether it be bush or another to go through it without being changed.

and its a shame, that bush will go down for what has gone wrong, rather than what has gone right. we see him not as the president that did anything. but as the president that started a war. the president that ruined the economy. the president that ruined america.

and isn't that a shame. even sitting here writting this, i find it hard to come up with anything that he did right. i find this a shame. and its not because i don't care but because this is what we are told about. this is what we will chose to remember him by. what they want us to remember him by.

and what of the president elect obama? who we have so much hope riding on. who we see as the change we need. and we feel as though he is the savior america is looking for.

but do we know what is going to happen in the future. there is no way anyone can foresee what is going to happen. will obama be the president that we wish him to be. that we are already counting on im to be?

we have no idea.

my only hope is that, four years from now. a year from now. even six months from now, we will be just as happy with obama as we are at this moment.
