Well, I'm not going to miss him. I won't be applying the soft gaze of revisionism on him and his regime.

Saying he always did what he thought was right isn't great praise if he was consistently wrong all the time, and being firm in his beliefs is a nicer way of saying that he was stubborn, misguided and not open to reason (a political fundamentalist, if you like)

Indeed, there has not been a publicised terrorist attack in the US since the Twin Towers, but at what cost to your world image and to your own freedoms and rights? Incidentally, don't forget that there had not been a terrorist attack in the US EVER before that idiot came into power.

Unfortunately, to me anyway -Bush will always be a semi-bordeline buffoon (the aggressive yet slightly retarded younger brother who everyone ignores at barbecues) who only got into power because he was backed by big corporate business, the oil US defence and industry and by stealing a second election.

Good riddance. The world is suddenly a safer place already.

I hope you guys are not kidding yourself that you voted in a black president because you are all suddenly an equal society...... Barack won the election simply by being not Bush or McCain.

I question whether the American people would have voted in a chimp just to get rid of those people.
