State of the Union, er State, or ...

It’s been a long eight years. Some may argue for the better, some for the worst. I’d say it’s arguably the longest and most downtrodden political section of my life. Let alone foreign policy, the economy, education and No Child Left Behind, his tax cuts and fix while the economy continued to flail, Bin Laden still runs free, the United States is known for its inhumane stories at Guantanamo, Bush violated laws and constitutional limits on presidential power.

By golly, though, I’ll miss him. Not just due to the problems finding jobs or salvaging our foreign used-to-be-allies, but I don’t know who I’ll misunderestimate now… nor where I’ll find my entertainment when truly looking for news. Without Bushisms, I’m not sure what I’ll do.
I mean, I watched the quasi State of the Union Address tonight, and i almost didn't understand Obama's plans without "strategeries", or "misunderestimated" numbers, or “learned children”.

Let's reflect on some of President Bush’s greatest moments:

"People say, well, do you ever hear any other voices other than, like, a few people? Of course I do."—Washington, D.C., Dec. 18, 2008

"So I analyzed that and decided I didn't want to be the president during a depression greater than the Great Depression, or the beginning of a depression greater than the Great Depression."—Washington D.C., Dec. 18, 2008

"I've been in the Bible every day since I've been the president."—Washington, D.C., Nov. 12, 2008

"I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office."—Washington, D.C., June 26, 2008

"Anyone engaging in illegal financial transactions will be caught and persecuted."—Washington, D.C., Sept. 19, 2008

"Now, there are some who would like to rewrite history—revisionist historians is what I like to call them."—Elizabeth, N.J., June 16, 2003

and to end, because they're all so amazing[ly horrid], a quote that applies to tonight:

"And so, in my State of the—my State of the Union—or state—my speech to the nation, whatever you want to call it, speech to the nation—I asked Americans to give 4,000 years—4,000 hours over the next—the rest of your life—of service to America. That's what I asked—4,000 hours." —Bridgeport, Conn., April 9, 2002

To quote my friend Lindsay, no wonder we can't find jobs.. this man ran our country for eight years.
