Writer's Block: So Long, Farewell

[chocolatecream]

Death...destruction, failure, murder, poverty, decline of America's economical status in the world, unhappiness...etc etc. So many negatives and very few positives...did i mention death?
The man has left a legacy of failure. President Obama has so much to do. We, as Americans have so much to do as well. Let's all work together. Mr. Obama cannot do

Do you sincerely think all those negatives happened as a result of one man in only eight years?

[chocolatecream]

Yes I do. Any positives from our president as of now, are definitely outweighed by the negatives. And from this response, im assuming you disagree. Which is what America is about. The opportunity to voice our own opinions. So...I can only advise an individual as yourself to refer to historical documents which will indeed educate and support the said statement above. One person can cause massive deterioration. Especially a president of one country. We as a people have not voiced our opinion enough. But, as the president of the United States, he should have taken more care. Once again, I will refer to the most recent and non recent historical documents to further implicate the truth of my statement. Perhaps reading and studying American history? The history of any country and their downfall based on ONE individual who was given the power to lead? And last but not least...eight years is an astronomical amount of time to degrade a country. And please, if there are any positives from the current President Bush that will honor his

Since you asked

Here is a link to an article by a historian who offers pointers to arguments for and against Bush.
He concludes:
As a historian, I believe that any final judgment about the Bush years must be put off for at least a minimum of ten years, when we can see how things work out in the future, and more records of the administration are made available. Indeed, it is foolish for historians to echo commentators who make firm statements about how history has proved Bush to be evil incarnate. Similarly, I think it foolish for conservative historians to issue contrary assessments.
Which kinda makes sense to me, but sort of lacks the emotional appeal some seem to seek.
Cheers,

Re: Since you asked

and since these poorly written words make sense to you....this puts both you and I on two different sides of the table. I disagree. Thus, we are all entitled to our own opinion. If you cannot see the "evil" as the historian has stated, that has been practiced.....I'm not sure if you will ever WANT to learn and understand the truth. We all have our own interpretation of what has happened. Some fail to read truth, especially truth written in black and white. The individual who wrote this, holds high in your esteem. I find this person to be an idiot. But then again....this is my opinion. Since you seem to find little fault in Bush's "accomplishments"...Im writing all of this for nothing. I dont think we will see eye to eye. Emotions, morale, values and ethics can drive humans to make their own decisions. Some make better decisions than others. Those void of emotions, such as Bush, tend to drive others toward a definite end. They care not for their fellow man
