It's about time.

Yes, George Bush will go down as our first truly socialist president. His administration is the one that turned capitalisim into socialism. And maybe history will some day show that's what made Bush a 'good' president. Wouldn't that be ironic? The guy who prided himself in being a laissiz-faire free-enterprise capitalist steered us down the path to socialism. By nationalizing the banking and insurance industries. His way of rescuing Wall Street and many of his political cronies from the blunders of greedy capitalism. Oh, Bush isn't all that concerned about the middle class. Never has been. There, he'd just as soon let nature take its course and let everyone struggle. Bush was in office to serve the rich, not to benefit the poor and the under classes. No, Bush's goal always has been to keep distributing more and more of the wealth to the rich. Rob the poor to pad the pockets of the rich. Just the opposite of Robin Hood. But look at it this way. Bush has opened the door to socialism. If it's good enough for the rich, it should be good enough for the poor. I'm thinking that Barack Obama and the Democrats will pick up where Bush leaves off -- and give us a brand of socialism that benefits the poor. It's about time. --Jim Broede
