A sincere THANK YOU to George W. Bush...
Everything you did during this long national nightmare of horrors contributed to
the prefect timing for Obama's Presidential run.

And McCain, as it turns out, was a great opponent, for the same reasons.

1. I get what you are saying, but not sure I can really agree.
That's like thanking slave owners for allowing Lincoln to be elected.

4. No, it wasn't worth it
for all the death and deprivation and the people turned out of their homes and the retirees living in permanent fear.

It was not worth it, and we have to continue picking through all these crimes and calling them to account.

10. It WASN'T worth it, but, it made it possible for a black man to run for president and win
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 11:02 AM by blm
which is something NONE of us older Dems ever expected in our lifetime.

My daughter's teacher is a young black woman whose husband works for Obama in NC, and she told me yesterday that SHE never thought a black man would be president in America though she is at least 20 years younger than me. Bush made it SO BAD by 2006 that it changed EVERYTHING.

11. Actually, had Powell chosen to run in the 90s, he would have won.
My firm did polling on the issue.

5. The only time I'll thank George Bush is when someone plays "diving for quarters"
off the top of a fast-moving cruise ship, and George takes the bait. ;)
