Who cares?

I'm the smartest person in my family; I'm actually probably the smartest person in my group of friends. They're all doing much better in life than I am.

George Bush was not a good President. He fucked up a lot of stuff, stuff that I'm going to have to be fixing in the nest two or three decades. He could've been the smartest man in the world but he still created a society of incredible debt, prolonged wars, environmental mess, an educational system now compiling the issue of decades of already misguided policy. I'd rather have an idiot that had stumbled in to the right choices.

Now off to my steadily more expensive college class that will get me a job almost no where. I can go on to spend years in debt up to my ears struggling to make a living, watching a government that I can't trust expand upon everything Bush did.

Shit, my really big developmental years, the time I spent in school, was basically spent with the country in a constant state of war. Awesome. Well, at least he was smart.
