I'm as happy as anyone that Bush has finally been given the pink slip. Hopefully he'll get caught in his weedwacker while clearing brush in Austin and justice will be served.
But treating President Obama like the second coming is setting him up to fail...in our own eyes.
It's like assuming just because the Lakers had traded for Karl Malone and Gary Payton, the NBA championship would just be handed to them. It didn't happen and the Laker faithful were bummed out for the next 8 years. It was actually all Payton's fault. But I digress.
It's true that GWB screwed this world up in such unprecedented ways that there's no POSSIBLE way to damage it any more. Given that, it's going to take time. Give the man some space, some realistic expectations and expect that he's going to make mistakes.
And if all goes well, we may never see an old, privileged, white man in the White House again. Next up...Can anyone say Presidente' George Lopez?
