How He HOPES He'll Be Remembered

Last week our lame, lame-duck President showed off his latest lame move--the unveiling of the Presidential Portrait. Traditionally this portrait shows the outgoing President looking distinguished, having an air of grace and authority.

Our lame[duck] President, GeeDubya Bush pulled another fast one and thumbed his nose (yet again) at the tradition of the Oval Office. The artist painting the portrait was a former classmate of Dubyas, and our lame [duck] Prez asked him to portray our nations most hated leader in a more casual, relaxed pose.

So, here we have the end result--good ole Georgie sitting on the floor in a casual shirt (sans tie), in a good old folksy-type pose.

To me this is yet another pathetic move by a less than pathetic President. This portrait screams "forget about all the problems I've caused this country...two wars; an environmental firesale to big business; $10T (that's TRILLION) dollars of debt; a weakened Congress; a demoralized military; suspicious allies; near depression-level economy, etc.

No...to me the lame ducker is trying to tell everyone (enemies and supporters (however few there may still be) that he's just Georgie--the down-home, next door neighbor guy who happened to live in the White House.

Well Shucks and tarnation...I forgot he was just like me!

Do you see my point? All throughout his Presidency, his now infamous Spin Machine of an Administration always portrayed Dubya (and Cronies) as if there really WERE acting in the best interest of this Country--and not in their own self-serving, money hungry selfishness that truly spewed out of the West Wing.
Now here he goes again, trying to convince everyone that the Domestic nightmare that was his Presidency was really not his fault--cuz he's just a regular guy like you and me...

Sorry you Lame-duck. Your spin machine is well past broken, and all your attempts to tell us you're really one of the good guys just ain't gonna happen. You will always be remembered as the worst President in the history of this once great nation.
