Dear George Walker Bush

You had me completely fooled into thinking you were a total idiot. As I see history dawning upon me I look back and realize you were actually spectacular beyond our old, narrow-minded paradigm. Somehow, with all of our backwards, undeveloped values on life and society we did not yet understand how couragous, humble and gracious a leader you truly were. I'm sincerely sorry for being one of the people that mistook you as a man bought bye lobbyists into letting the country fall apart. That was unfair, you proved to be a hero in the battle against AIDs. That can redeem all of yours' and congress' unforunate screw-ups that required us to pay thousands of dollars a person in taxes to correct. Don't worry, we're not mad. We're really not, for times's magnificent gift of retrospect enabled us to see the error in this judgment. I hope you enjoy for first day of retirement at Crawford, I'm sure it'll feel very similar to your presidency.

Warmest regards,
Kip
