The Bush Era and Beyond by a Political Enigma: PART ONE

As the Presidential Campaign is heating up, and as politics is shoved into our faces, I, a person who really only knows nothing about politics and besides catching the news once in a while is completely oblivious to what is going on in our country, would like to sum up the George Bush era from my eyes.


I am a college student, a 23 year old whose daily worries involve finding my keys and getting laid. Pretty much after that, as far as the real world goes, I don't know what is going on. But I do know a couple things that happened during the Bush era that I am sure you will remember.

The first is the tragedy of September 11th, 2001. You probably know where you were when you first heard the news, as do I, in my English class taught by Mr. Brennan. Accoridng to Wikipedia, 2,974 died that die, and 24 people are missing and presumed dead. We all know what happened: a expertly crafted coordinated attack took place involving groups of men hi-jacking airliners and then driving them into familiar, symbolic American landmarks such as the Twin Towers in New York.

Now, you have to admit, as a person that that plan was a pretty damned good plan for doing what it was intended to do. Obviously it took a lot of time, patience, hard work, devotion and the willingness to die for what you believe (any of that sound familiar).

Now apparently from what I've heard, again, I don't really know, Bush knew about this, even the Clinton administration knew something like this may happen and didn't react to it properly and because of this Bush takes some shots. Well you know what, I mean, what the fuck are you going to do? I mean PEOPLE HI-JACKING PLANES WITH FREAKN BOX KNIVES AND THEN KAMIKAZEING INTO BUILDINGS!!!! Not one person ever thought that would be possible until that happened.

Talk about gettn fucked over, Clinton turns the White House into the Dallas Cowboys' white house of the Michael Irvin days and gets off scotch free. Bush, who seems like a good character guy, gets 9/11 dropped on him literally out of the blue. Now that just sucks and isn't fair. You might say as President he should be ready for these things. Well you know what, even though he had that Rache Caldwell "Oh shit, that just happened" look on his face when he was in Florida with a bunch of kids, WHAT THE FUCK WAS HE SUPPOSED TO DO? TAKE OFF HIS SHIRT AND TIE AND UNVEIL THAT HE IS SUPERMAN AND STOP THE TERRORISTS AROUND THE WORLD.




There are other people in the government you know, and as far as I'm concerned they did the best they could do to handle that situation. Face it America, Al-Qaeda clearly saw something they thought they could exploit and they did, nothing you can do there. Props to those on United 93 by the way, those people along with the firefighters and volunteers are real heroes, not Michael Phelps.

Stay tuned in for Part II titled "Katrina: Don't build cities under water with shitty levees."
