Mr. Bush,

As I see that you are now on your way out (and being replaced by Barack Obama), I recall why I voted for you in 2000. You seemed like a guy I could share a beer with, and I thought the malapropisms and pseudo-invented verbiage in your speeches was a little endearing.

Unfortunately, the past eight years have painted a different picture of you. You certainly ran this country like a business - unfortunately, that business was Enron. You did nothing when warned of a potential terrorist attack, and reacted by stripping me of my freedoms. You took my country that I was a little embarrassed by having a bit of a hick in office, and made me incredibly embarrassed by being a robber baron in office.

You made me appreciate $1.50 gas and controversy about marital flings in the oval office.

Sir, I wish you long life as well. I wish you a century of continued life, so you can see how history will make you out to be.
