The truth of the matter is that in 2004 President Bush will defeat himself. “The cat is out of the bag”. “The genie is out of the bottle”. “The jig is up”. “You can’t fool all of the people all of the time”. President Bush is not a President. He is just a kid. He is just a transient personality in history, passing by, that history will barely mention in a short one hundred years from now.
He will be remembered as the son of a President, who came to office on the strength of “name recognition”. He will be remembered as a President who was lead by the nose by special interest groups, lobbyists, Cabinet appointees, major corporate interests, and the hidden agenda of corrupt Republican politics. He may be remembered as the President that destroyed the Republican Party in the interests of “special interests”. What emerges in its place, no one knows.
He will be remembered, if he is remembered at all, for the sheer folly of a foreign policy that alienated the world against us. He will be remembered for reading a bedtime story to a class of grammar school students as the worst terrorist attack in our history took place. He will be remembered for failing to sense the need to protect our great nation and for failing to take the correct retaliatory action to exact reprisal from the true culprits and prevent further attacks. And there will be further attacks, which he himself alluded too.
He will be remembered for the mess that he left for the President that succeeds him---for a $1 trillion dollar deficit; for the collapse of the health care system with more than 50 million uninsured Americans; for record unemployment levels of over 10%; for chaos in NAFTA, WTO, and trade agreements that went awry leading to millions of jobs permanently lost to foreign workers in foreign countries making as low as 3 cents an hour with no benefits; for record level personal bankruptcies of two million individuals and small business owners a year; for a sense that large, multi-national corporations just about bought the White House with over $300 million in Republican contributions; for wars, threats of wars, incursions, pre-emptive attacks, and full scale assaults on Third World countries in the endless pursuit of shadowy, faceless, nameless (an often non-existent) terrorists.
