Poll question: Poll: Which are you more excited about: the end of Bush or the beginning for Obama?

I honestly can't decide whether I am more excited about the end of the Bush Administration or about the start of Obama's presidency. I've waited for the former for 8 long years, but the latter is just so exciting. So I thought I'd post the question to all of you and see whether people are more excited about Bush's last day or Obama's first day.

1. Obama becoming president, no doubt.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. I would rank them 1 and 2

[JeffR]

3. The first option is really good

but the second one is just flat-out mega-good.

[provis99]

4. tough choice...

sorta like being asked which is better: not getting kicked in the ass anymore, or getting a cookie?

[Dawgs]

12. "A cookie"? I was thinking more like 'a job', or 'healthcare', or 'an electric car'

Not a tough choice for me?

Bush was bad, but Obama is in a position to do some really great things for the world. Great things that could last for decades. We'll get over the Bush presidency.

[Stand and Fight]

5. I know what is behind me. I do not know what is before me.

I voted I am more excited about Bush FINALLY leaving office.

ON EDIT: I'm a pragmatist. Can't help it.

[Iggo]

6. Known known. Bush go bye-bye.

Known unknown. Obama to be president.

Sad fact: I channeled that Rumsfeld "known unknown" spiel for that.
Sadder fact: I understood what Rummy was saying.

13. Hey, I found myself rooting for Dick Cheney the other day

When he was trying to get support for the auto bailout. Stranger things have happened, I guess.

[silverojo]

7. Both--equally

No option for that, so I couldn't vote. ;)

[votetastic]

8. End of Bush would have still happened if McCain won

Therefore, the beginning of Obama.

[beltanefauve]

18. Really?

Nothing McCain said indicated we wouldn't be getting more of the same.

[old mark]

9. Obama. I have managed to ignore the W regime as much as I could

for 8 years. It will be pleasant to find a real person in charge, and interesting to watch his administration repair and rebuild our country.

[Kahuna]

10. That's a tough one. I've gotta go with no more bushco. nt

[Balderdash]

11. Tough question

We desperately need Bush gone and we desperately need Obama doing the driving. Hurry January 20th 2009!

[democrattotheend]

14. 36 days

[Maru Kitteh]

15. They're both so wonderful, it's almost hard to choose.

O
ba
ma
!

[mwb970]

16. A surprisingly hard question!

We are about to go from the worst president in our history to someone who will probably be one of the best. Both sides of this coin are very, very shiny.

I have to say on balance that I am slightly more excited to get rid of bush and his horrible administration. The destruction he has brought to our nation, our world, and our planet is almost too much for the mind to encompass. This awful national nightmare will end soon, although it is becoming obvious that time itself is slowing down as the blessed day approaches.

17. Both

I plan on celebrating the end of an error and the beginning of a new era.
