US/World Economy: FIASCO/FAIL

Re: Bush's Plane Ride Home

The irony is that I actually started this thread with the expectation that it would be a rare neutral thread about Bush, at least by my standards. I kinda have this vision of Bush leaving power by grabbing a pitchfork and retreating to some dark lair somewhere, when in fact he's just kind of dropping back into private life, where he can really do no more harm. To borrow a phrase, his time ended "not with a bang but a whimper."

Suffice it to say that I agree with those that believe that Bush will go down as the worst president in history. For details on why I think that, please consult virtually every post I've authored in this section.

I think we can all agree that it seems like some kind of cloud has been lifted this week. Hard to explain, it's like there's a mixture of relief and optimsim among people, including me. No one - for the most part - believes Obama is going to wave some magic wand and turn the world into Big Rock Candy Mountain, but it sure does feel like everyone has (to use a word that has been beaten to death) hopeful.

And this is coming from someone who voted Republican in the past three elections!
