Yes Mr. Bush, Life Is Unfair, Thanks For The Reminder

Thank you President Bush for being such a calm and confident leader, raising the hopes of millions of Americans wherever you go. Oh wait, I'm sorry, wrong President, I must have been in some alternate universe where Al Gore rightfully won and ascended to be the 43rd President in 2000 instead of your sorry ass. Thanks for reminding the poor people of Tennessee that lost dozens of their family and friends that "life is unfair." What the f**k would you know about that sir? The only thing that comes to mind when I think of "unfair" and your name is how many people you have treated unfairly (to put it very, very lightly) over the course of seven years.

It was extremely unfair when you used the tragedy of September 11th to start a war in Iraq, a place that had nothing, I repeat, nothing to do with what happened here in New York. It is unfair that thousands of our soldiers have had to die for your lust for war. It is unfair that their families must live with your decision every day for as long as they live. It is unfair that the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on that mess is diverted from helping America stay fiscally strong.

It was unfair when you gave huge tax breaks to the wealthy and a few hundred dollars to the rest of us back when you started your woeful Presidency.It was unfair to reward your buddies in corporate America while scaling back programs for the poor. You have replaced programs that helped the least among us with corporate welfare. Those that are in need have nothing while those that have everything are given even more.

It was unfair Mr. Bush for you to have promised to rebuild and restore those that lived in the area that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and the levees that broke because of it. It is disgusting that they are still waiting for that aid two and a half years later. Now all you can do for the people of Macon County, TN is to remind them that life is unfair, piling on to the grief and despair that they already feel. You could have started by delivering what they need, but again, the best you could was to take a helicopter ride and poo poo them before you rode back to the White House.

Now that is unfair.

The only fair thing you could do would be to resign, but we are already painfully aware that it'll be a cold day in hell before that happens.
