Does Bush deserve what he gets
I am going to give you information and views from where I am seeing them. Inside a High School. But don’t stop reading, it gets interesting. One argument we were having in our English class (teacher initiated, don’t worry) was weather or not Bush’s reputation is really what is should be. I mean, people out there are so angry with him, because they wanted the country to be ran their way. Well, the problem is there are 304,632,500 (as of July 18, 2008; 9:40 AM) other people that he also has to make happy. That’s not even counting allies that he has to make happy, businesses, ext.
What I said above was true, but it is not what I wanted to focus on. Now that one person, say a very convincing person, is mad at Bush. He is now going to start telling all his friends and family members that Bush is a bad president. But since the United States has the attention span of a 1st grader, and the mood swings to match, a lot of people have no idea what to think because they don’t follow presidential elections or know what the hell is going on. But since they want to know what to think, who to vote for, and who is good and bad, they listen instead of do their own research. So now, there are a lot of uneducated people making an uneducated guess. That’s right, I said it because no one else would.
But it gets even worse then that. These people start preaching it to their kids. They are telling our future that Bush was a bad president. Problem with kids/teens, is that we don’t want to think for ourselves most of the time. Believe me, I know. We want to think we do but we don’t want to actually have to. So now their children think the same thing, with now backing, no reason, and no thought put in. They just go around and start talking the same way their parents do about Bush.
They greatest threat to America as we stand now is not oil, terrorists, racists, Buddhists, emos, religious leaders, or religions. It is, as the song goes, the American Idiot.
