Bushed Legacy

A woman who imprisons lightning once said, “Give me your tired, your poor, … the homeless, tempest-tossed …“

From the obvious tone of the last eight years comes a pathetic end.  George Walker Bush strolling away from a nation that went from prosperous to upside-down, like the economy.  The loss of the dream of home- and, with it, land-ownership has affected millions of Americans in an era where it is now obvious that we must answer the question, “War.  What is it good for?”

Bush’s legacy is filled with the increase in wealth by the power elite and a gross heartlessness towards humanity.  Those without a pulse, banks, war-related businesses, and other cohorts had their non-processing tummies filled with delightful liquidity, while Katrina victims languished.

Those victims never stopped but continue today, such as the fate of 30,000-plus poor Americans that had to be rescued from rooftops, the masses who have since made highway underpasses their new homes, the displaced families now strewn all over the USA, and those who no longer can return to their homes in the Ninth Ward.  All this because a leader, whose sense of humanity boils down to one camera shot of him musing dry, poetic satire about dictatorship, felt it was appropriate to usurp human rights for the power behind corporate welfare.

Keith Olbermann says it best in his new briefs titled Bushed.  We’re tired of you George.  Please go already.
