No, George W. Bush will not be getting any shoes thrown at him today but he will receive the boot when President-elect Barack Obama takes office to become the first African-American President in the history of the United States.
Although I do feel terrible that Barack enters the Presidency with quite a load of tasks to fix. We as Americans should understand that rebuilding the economy back into shape will prove to be a lengthier process than anticipated.
I was listening to the radio today as an interesting topic came along. An award winning researcher from NASA, Dr. James Hansen, told Obama that his next four years will be the Earth's most important ones. Hansen insists that the United States must act as the leader to promote cleaner emissions to avoid the most recent ice-cap meltings. In relevance Hansen connects the irregular weather conditions due to carbon emissions being released into the Earth's greenhouse. I can make sense to that.
Dr. Hansen first warned the U.S. about the earth's possible climate change in 1988 until he was shunned by the government. Funny to believe that Bush Sr. was in office at the time. Why did we ignore this man for twenty years? Furthermore how did we let another degenerate generation of the Bush family into office in those twenty years?
I am not one to fickle with the past but we as citizens must take on the knowledge and responsibility of providing a place for our future grandchildren. Please excuse me as I am off to watch a QUALIFIED President take the reins of our country.
Good luck Obama.
