Breaking up with George Bush

January 22, 2009 · Leave a Comment

I’m loving all the comparisons of the end of the Bush presidency with the end of a bad relationship… And it’s true, when I was at the inauguration, it really felt very cleansing, like we needed 2 million people to stand in sub-freezing temperatures for eight hours in order to collectively cleanse of the past eight years. Here’s one blog post that makes the analogy. Since Tuesday I’ve realized just how low my standards have become for President – something that also happens in a bad relationship. Watching Obama repeal the gag rule, Hillary get confirmed and military prisons closed makes me realized how little I’ve come to expect from Washington.
