Dear President Bush,

My honest feelings are good riddance. I simply think that you were an awful leader. It was not your stumbling over speech, or your pretend cowboy lifestyle, or your blind faith in God, or the fact that you are a recovering alcoholic. You could have had all of that and been a good leader.

What angered me most about your presidency is your failure to muster the courage to take the reins and direct the country. Had you not listened to Cheney and Rumsfeld, you had the charisma to possibly have done great things at a time when the world most needed a leader. Instead, you were a coward and caved to your Dad's friends, took the path of least resistance, and ruined everything that you touched.

I also know that you are clinging on to the hope that history will prove you were right, but the truth is that while Iraq was your biggest blunder, it was not the only one. Your presidency was marred with atrocious scandals and blatant nepotism and cronysm, and you stomped all over the Constitution to temporarily suit your needs. How will historians look at you presidency as a good thing in any facet?

Good Riddance President Bush, I will not miss you.

Chris
