Frankly, don’t miss you George
I see some FOB (Friend of Bush) has sponsored a billboard with a smiling George Bush and the saying “Miss me yet?” [“Just asking,” Newsline, Feb. 11].
My personal response is that I don’t miss him in the least — not even for his many laughable lines. What I do miss is the money we have poured into the unnecessary Iraq war and the American youth squandered there.
What I do miss is the budget surplus in place when he took office and the taxes we used to be able to collect from his rich friends. What I do miss is the sense of honor I used to feel about the way we treat our friends — as equals deserving of consultation and cooperation — and our enemies, before we authorized torture in dealing with them.
But George Bush? I ain’t missing him at all.
