Sad thing, he doesn't have a clue.

I almost felt a little sorry for George Bush. There he was. Sitting at the chilly inaugural. Only a few feet from Barack Obama. And he had to listen. To an enlightened new president. Repudiating so many of Bush's dreadful policies. Felt to me like the dawning of a new era. One of hope and optimism. Anyway, Bush seemed to have a blank look on his face. Maybe he didn't even hear what was being said. Maybe he just shut it out. For eight years, Bush was the decider. Unfortunately, anything but a good listener. Maybe Obama's words went far over Bush's head. So why should I feel sorry for Bush? But I do. If he ain't a sad man, he certainly had a sad presidency. Of course, he doesn't think so. He's convinced he did the right things. Starting pre-emptive wars. And fiddling as the nation's economy went into the tank. And dividing the world into good and evil. Bush is going back to Texas. Thinking he's one of the good guys. Sad thing, he doesn't have a clue. --Jim Broede
