Sure, countless amounts of people worldwide have suffered for the mistakes of our fearless leader. But has anyone taken the time to consider what he's been through? The sacrafices he has made? I didn't think so. More after the jump...
Current est. have the civilian deaths from violence count at anywhere between 83,521-91,094. We also know that over 4,000 of America's soldiers are no longer with us, while thousands upon thousands more have a permanent reminder of the mistakes of our leaders. I don’t even want to imagine the horror of receiving that call or that knock on the door telling you that your loved one(s) is/are not coming home. My wife is in the Army and she has been to Iraq, and it's not fun not hearing from them for weeks or months at a time wondering if everything is ok. The sacrifices these people make are amazing and we should never forget nor forgive what President Bush has done.
However, I don’t think we truly give President Bush the understanding he deserves. I don’t think we realize, better yet, care what he has done for us. He's made sacrifices too! This was just in the Huffington Post. That’s right, he gave up golf! Golf! Wait for it... GOLF!!! As you can guess, this is were the snark ends. (is that what it's called? This is my first diary so I'm not sure.)
The nerve of this man. What a joke! I can't believe he had the nerve to say this:
"I don't want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf," he said. "I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal."
I guess on one hand it's true. You don’t want to be playing golf when people are dying for no reason because of something you did. It's not a good look. But to imply that this is some great sacrifice that you are making? You feel like you owe us something? How about giving back the lives of those lost? How about bringing our troops home? How about you cut the BS and go away?
I've had about as much as I can take with this man. Is it 2009 yet?
