Do you feel more angry as the Bush occupation ends?

[jimlup]

I find my rage mounting again. In a different way than election day. On election day I felt desperation and a glimmer of hope as we moved forward.

Now I'm raging mad. Can't the Bush occupation end already??? All the anger of the last 8+ years is welling up as we reach the bitter end.

1. No

but I'm feeling a great sense of relief and optimism. :)

[madokie]

2. is that anything like happy

if not then I guess not

[aquart]

3. You mean, aside from my fantasy that he walks out of the White House

And onto the gallows?

I have an ice cold vindictiveness toward BushCo. Nothing like the heat of rage at all.

[cynatnite]

4. It's a reminder of how he got in the WH and the hell we've gone through since then n/t

[JuniperLea]

5. It's more like fear...

Like I can't believe they would actually leave, and they will do something very last minute to prevent this transition from happening.

I blame Bush for all my fears and cynicism.

6. The only thing that angers me is the

conventional wisdom that as a country we must move forward and not hold Bush accountable. I heard Tavis Smiley say that this morning on C-SPAN.

I think Bush and Cheney need to be tried for war crimes. A part of moving forward would be seeing the two of them do the perp walk.

[Mist]

11. I watched CSPAN this morning too, and it seems that 4 out of 5 callers want

the Bush administration held legally accountable. That was the word used over and over: "accountable."

[ikojo]

14. What was interesting about Mr Smiley

agreeing with the pug caller who used the word forward more times than necessary is that after that call he agreed with slave reparations. If we as a country should not look back EIGHT years, why oh why Mr Smiley should the country look back 142 years?

15. That's right! It sure angers me that Bush is going to get away scott free. n/t

7. I'm angry that the Democratic Party, ONCE AGAIN will do NOTHING....

To punish and/or prevent the same snakes and their spawn from coming back another day, to do it all over again.

[ejpoeta]

8. i have to agree with you there. pisses me off.

if they think that by not going after bush they are preventing the republicans from going after obama or any other dem president again like they did with clinton, they have another thing coming. this idea that they are doing anyone any good by just forgetting it is outrageous! we can't forget it. if we don't prosecute, then it's like telling bush and his cronies that what they did was ok. and then it will be done again as soon as they can get back in there.

16. People in his administration first served under Nixon

They are the same snakes that were tied to the illegal shit that went on during the Reagan/Bush Administrations, that the Democrats refused to investigate. Idiot In Chief promptly put them back to work, and they have been training their spawn to do the very same thing all along. No penalties, just the pay-outs begets more of the same, when they roll back into town, after a few years of trashing the Obama Administration for petty crap that means nothing.

[4 t 4]

9. I feel so glad it's

about to be over I could scream

[SammyWinstonJack]

17. That makes me angry too! Leave the door open for jeb in 2016.

[NightWatcher]

10. I'm shivering with an.ti.ci.pation just hoping that it is really almost over

our long national nightmare could be on the verge of being over. Now I know Obama is not a Messiah, but he is a HUGE improvement over bushco

[jimlup]

12. I'm glad but...

My sense of relief won't really kick in until his is OUT OF THERE. Right now I feel my anger mounting BIG TIME!!!

I'm really sick sick sick of that bastard!

Every time I see his sick face on TV I feel like :puke:

[Liberal Veteran]

13. It rankles that he gets to leave with the honors of the office.

....when he was never fit for the job anyway.

It's funny you mention it, because I was just about to post something similar.

It's watching a person who has been a disaster sit up there still be fucking clueless and talk about his "joy" and totally miss the real cost of his mistakes. From pretty much ignoring intelligence until the towers fell, to the bait and switch war, to the celebration while a city was drowning, to allowing the abomination that is torture to become "just routine", to willful neglect of our economy.

And the poor, the sick, the jobless, the maimed, the wounded, and the dead can only sit back and feel anger that he did so much damage and will walk away untouched by it...except for his reputation.

The only real salve is to remember that around 80% of the nation looks on his leaving office with a sigh of relief. And upwards of 99 percent of the world feels the same.
