Changing of the Guards
I would like to say something about this week in history. This week saw an end to an era and a beginning to another. It is amazing to see the advancement in humanity. It was only 150 years ago that we as a nation allowed slavery, it was only 40 years ago when we as a nation treated other races as less than human, but this week the nation has shown that we can change to have love for our fellow man, no matter the color of skin. Congratulations to our new president, Barack Obama.
I hate to see George Bush go. I think history will be more kind to him than the media over the last 8 years. The war against terror will be thought of as a success more so than it seems now. Mr. Bush said yesterday that he always did what he thought was right, it may not have been the popular thing to do but it was right. Was it a popular thing to go into a country and topple their leader? Gosh no! Was it the right thing to take away power from a ruthless dictator? Absolutely. I am rather glad though that we are out of the Bush years. It was time for someone new and that everything from my car not starting to my pituitary tumor was Bush's fault, according to the media. I guess he mess things up so bad that my tumor is still up there. Oh well. Thanks Mr. Bush.
