Tomorrow at 5 O'Clock (12 in the USA, 5 here) Barack Obama will become the first black president of America, and I couldn't be happier. But before we usher in a new age of hope, let us remember the last age we are passing through. An age, not of hope, but of sorrow (and embarassment, I mean look at Bush, how stupid does a country need to be to elect him?). George W. Bush leaves office holding a new world record. He has the lowest outgoing approval rating of any president, ever. 22 percent, only 22 percent of the country like him, and lets face it, those 22 percent of people are most likely red-necks and KKK members. Although I feel at this moment, an analagy is needed, so lets have a little think back. Think back to the Christopher Eccelston series of Doctor Who, do you remember the Satalite 5 episode? With the Mighty Jagrafess? Yeah? That's what Bush is, he's the Jagrafess, he has stunted to growth of the Earth (no, not just America, but the entire world) by eight years, sure, the Jagrafess did it for one hundred or so years, but what's the difference? I mean George W. Bush can't count to either of those numbers. Hmm, now that I say that I'm having doubts about what the examiner marking my politics exam is going to say about my essay titled "Barack 'The Doctor' Obama and Joe 'Rose' Biden", only time can tell. I also heard another analagy in the Guardian today, from an 11 year old boy. He said that he was happy that the good guys won. The good guys, makes Bush sound like the Emperor, no wait, he'd be Darth Maul, Cheny is the Emperor. Why not Vader? because Vader has a conscience, that's why.
But at least tommorrow he will finally be gone from our lives, he can finally go back to Texas. Although, I'm sure there is one thing we'll all miss about George W. Bush, he may have made the lives of innocent Iragi's a living hell, but damn it could he make a speech. But perhaps he have "Misunderestimated" George, perhaps he will go on to bigger and brighter things, an amusement park maybe?
I will finish with a simple statement, to all those republicans out there who have managed to figure out how to turn on this evil Devil machine called a computer. You all may be living with your heads in the sand, you may all think that the world is fine, the recession doesn't exist and that the war on Iraq is both a good thing and not killing innocent civilians, but let me tell you this: The world is broken, it was broken by George W. Bush. But this new guy, this "Obama" he has come along, and let me tell you this, can he fix it?
YES HE CAN!
