100 Days of Bush Countdown Starts Now

I've been waiting 8 years for this time to come, and it's almost here. My friend actually sent me a keychain last Christmas that is a countdown clock to Bush's exit. I haven't looked at it in a while. Actually, I have gotten to the point where I don't really think about it much anymore. I spent 4 years disliking him, then I got to vote for the first time, and of course it was against him. Then I went through a period of time when my anger was at an all time high, then at some point I kinda went numb. And that's where I still am. Sadly, at this time and place, I don't have much hope left. So I will certainly be happy to see the end of this era(or error.. LOL) But at this point I am not too confident about the future, things are just too bad right now, it's depressing. But a celebration would be cool, although since I moved I don't know anyone here--so nobody to celebrate with. I'm thinking it will probably just be a normal day, I'll get online, come on mylot, see what everyone has to say about the new start. I definitely will be relieved, just not hopeful, hopeful went out the window 4 years ago, when he was elected for a second time. Anyway, just wanted to say that I am on of the 78, although I've been on the opposition the whole time, even when it was 78 approve and 22 not.

I am one of the 78%, and I plan on celebrating no matter who is elected in November. I have said over and over that anyone (even McCain) will be better than Bush (But, McCain is making it harder and harder to say that). It will be great to see him go back to Texas and stop destroying this country. I think the world will celebrate his return to Texas.

I don't think I can wait that long. I can't believe that many Americans still support him.

Maybe for those of us who aren't able to actually go out to a big party we could have our own myLot Marathon Countdown Party starting at like 24 hours before the inauguration and going on until the new President is sworn in and Bush is OUTAHERE??? We could have the longest ever myLot discussion with all of us giving our "favorite" (or least favorite) Bushism, Bush blunder, Bush lie, etc. We could have door prizes for the first one to come up with something good Bush has done or something intelligent he has said. I know, that's pushing it... What do you think? Any fellow homebodies here that are interested in celebrating together? Annie

"We've endured a complete lack of leadership for almost 8 years now." That is just wrong. At least half the country disagreed with you for 4 of the last 8 years. His approval ratings were fine for the first four years with them being above 80% for 6 months. He may have had the lowest approval ratings ever, but he also had the highest so at one point, he was providing leadership and the country knew it. Too many people can't remember how things were a year ago much less four years ago.

OMG, That is awesome. Just the title alone was great! I hadn't thought about it but you are completely right. This is definitely an occasion worth celebrating.

Amen, It has felt like the longest 8 years of my life and it's been a rocky 8 years. I'm not going to throw a party of any sorts, but I sure am going to be relieved. Also I'm going to pray, that whomever gets elected, even if it is McCain that they do something positive for our economy.

I have no opinion as to Bush's conduct but I think had he been a democrat, the people would not have complained so much. There is a double standard. He is rather boring, but the president can only do so much. if he did he would be a dictator and he can only do what he has been told by his advisers and the information he gets. He is not a god. I think the way the economy went down hill has a lot of other factors, like the Democratic congress practically forcing lenders to give sub prime loans to people who are poor and have bad credit just because they are black because if they did not, the lenders would be accused of racism. It takes more than eight years for problems to come to light. So I am going to celebrate when the congress contains a better mixture of democrats and republicans. And I hope McCain wins.

I'm going to jump for joy...whoever replaces him can't do no worse than what's already been done to this country...all they can do is mop up what's leftover of this president's lack of leadership and disservice to the people and the country...

I wish I knew more of the ways this man has failed. I know about the war in Iraq but I do tend to agree with the idea since Saddam was a bit too dangerous to leave in power but I don't really know of all the other things Bush did to make him so unpopular. Maybe you can tell me where I can get better information on this. The Prime Minister in my own country, Trinidad, is also an utter waste.

i am not in any way a bush supporter and never have been and i am happy to say i never voted for him. with that said, he has left this country in miserable shape and we are all struggling because of it. he is a miserable excuse for a leader of such a powerful country as the US. he is smug and arrogant and has done NOTHING for 8 years but make things worse.

I am really glad that Bush will be out the last 8 years have seemed like 12. This administration has seemed like the adminstrations that wouldn't end. All I can say is I hope the next one is better than the current.

Wow it looks like you feel real strong about this. I would say that since you have the countdown and everything you should go out and party. Find some people as strong about it as you and go downtown(where ever you live),dress up in red, white, and blue and do red, white, and blue kamikazes all night long. Hell yea why not. After all this country is going to have new leadership and a whole new way to look at things from here till 4 years from now. I didn't really consider partying but i think i might consider it now.

Trust me, Americans aren't the only ones that are going to celebrate such a feasty occassion! But on the other hand, I have quite high doubts about the one(s) to come next.. since they're all just being manipulated by israel either way _

Personally, as i've said before, i'm not a politics-type of guy, but i'm starting to feel that the reason he's in office overall is because the PEOPLE voted for him. It's not all of Bush's fault that he almost screwed up America, but it's because the people voted for him instead of John Kerry. I didn't vote in 2004, but i've wanted Kerry to win the President's position. Only when I find a suitable candidate to vote for, THAT is when i'll start voting. But now that people voted for Bush anyway, it sounded like they were asking for trouble, and look what's happening to America today. People need to look deeper and more closely, research and scrutinize the candidate's backgrounds, and select the most logical and most sensible choice for candidates, and not just because of emotional and reactionary decisions. Remember, it's the people who VOTE for the President that decides the fate of the USA, not just the President itself.
