Our long national nightmare is over...

I will sign, but I refuse to reveal my real name on a message board, so I'll just sign as "The Lizard Person".

Amen.

I don't ever want to hear his name again, unless the powers that be decide to put him in prison where he and Cheney belong.

Oh, and I'm glad that whitehouse.gov is no longer controlled by our enemies:

Your Bush Derangement Syndrome is showing.

Bush's derangement has been showing for the last 8 years.

Thanks God it's finally over.

But I do have to say I applaud Bush for the smooth transition he gave.  He easily could have dug his heels into the dirt for the last 3 months of his presidency.

At least now the government will be screwing up under the leadership of a Democrat.

I'm waiting for J.J. to chime in with "after you, the deluge".

I'm waiting for J.J. to chime in with "after you, the deluge".

It might have already started.

The first song I heard this morning was "On the Radio," which is a favorite.  It also recalls the late 1970's.

While it is but a symptom, and not uncommon for a drop, the stock market dropped 300+ points.

Although I am glad that Bush is finally out of the White House, like Opebo, I am quite pessimistic about Obama's first term as President of the United States, primarily as I expect him to pander to the right on so many occasions it shall not be funny.

You've basically just become a parody of yourself at this point.

The comparison to the late 1970s is a poor one - we should be so lucky!  The late 1970s were merely a period of some moderate inflation, while what we are suffering now is a full scale deflationary depression.  Alas, the appropriate comparison is the 1930s, not the 1970s.

Let's look towards the future, shall we?

We'll start with that tomorrow.

Haha, ok.

I'm going to take this to mean 12:00 EST on January 21st.

Well the last Dem Pres did the same thing and most of the American left still love him.

Uh... no. We wouldn't have had a President Bush if that were true.

The American left loves Third Way, Big Government is Dead Bubba? That's news to me.

Welfare Reform, Don't Ask Don't Tell, tax cuts, broadening capital punishment at the federal level all certainly seemed like pandering at the time.  On the other hand he did pass the Brady Bill and the silly/pointless Assault Weapons ban, vetoed a ban on partial birth abortions and gave a half hearted attempt to nationalize healthcare.  So he might not have spent all of his 8 years pandering to the right, just most of the first half.

[minionofmidas]

The objection was to the claim that the left loved him at any point after 1994.

Thank god he's gone... sometimes I thought that those eight years were never going to end.

And I think I'm going to commemorate this by watching Oliver Stone's W. the day after tomorrow. For some reason this movie wasn't able to find a distributor in Germany, so the cinematic release was skipped and it is aired on TV this Friday. I just hope it isn't as bad as the presidency it is about.

[minionofmidas]

Certainly won't feel as long.

Seriously?  Who the hell voted for the guy in 1996?  I'm talking the "American" left here.

International. Our long international nightmare is over.

Oh yes, it was worse outside the US. The Americans had at least some influence on him.
