The Last 100 Days

As of Sunday, President Bush will have 100 days remaining in office.  If ever there was a time to rejoyce at a President departing it will be in January of 2009 when George W. Bush returns to Texas.  With his poll numbers now lower than Richard Nixon’s the day he resigned and approaching the all time low recorded during the Truman administration, the American people and frankly most of the world are ready for Bush’s exit. As for Bush himself, he’s got plenty to deal with before he passes the baton.  Bush has vowed there would be no “letting up” in the final 100 days, but I’m not sure exactly what that means for this President.  “It looks like I’m going to have a lot of work to do between today and when the new president takes office,” Bush said this past week .  Maybe if the President had been more engaged during his watch this could have been averted. Ditto for Iraq.  Ditto for Katrina.  Ditto for global warming....
