In light of the current election, discussion of the Bush legacy is abundant. Most curious of this legacy is that many seem to utterly loathe him. Speaking with some Democrats, you get the sense that the President is worse than the enemy.
I don't know what left turn this country took that makes the President an idol of evil, but it may not be as bad as some make it out to be.
A recent Mark Davis, columnist for the Dallas Morning News, article noted that, Hillary Clinton's campaign speeches were punctuated with,
"The whole world is going to breathe a sigh of relief," she would proclaim, "when that moving van pulls up to the White House on its way back to Texas.
"She is, of course, largely correct. The sigh of relief will not issue from the whole world exactly, but from large parts of it.
The article goes on to note that the following people will be relieved at the president's exit:
-Hugo Chavez: Venezuela's socialist dictator. Nationalized Citgo Gas
-Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Iran’s dictator. “Israel must be wiped off the map”
-Kim Jong Il: North Korea's dictator. Oppressor of 23 million people
-Hamas: Terrorist organization. Enough said.
