I was not an Obama supporter, but I am a firm believer in backing the president no matter whether you voted for him or not.  It is a difficult job and anyone who takes it on is a strong person.  That includes George W Bush.  I was pretty horrified to hear the crowds at the white house today were booing him as he showed up at the inauguration.
 
Thank God those ignorant people will never be president and thank God that Obama is not ignorant like them.  Maybe he put on a show for the cameras so not to seem like an ass, but my gut tells me he despite the riff with the ex-president, Obama is a sincere guy and when hugged him I do not doubt it was real. 
It is sad that Hollywood and the media have to keep bringing Bush down.  He did, after all, deal with the largest terrorist attack this country had seen not even a year into his presidency.  The president does not run the country alone.  Obama, Clinton and all the others in Washington held power these last 8 years, too.
 
We, the people, really had no clue what was really happening.  We didn't have the same information they did and so we CAN NOT judge the decisions made.
As for the economy - if you care to listen to all the sides of the story it was already tanking before Bush took office and a terrorist attack is not exactly a good thing for the economy. 
So, hate Bush, blame Bush, boo him if you will, but in the end your ignorant ass is never going to be president.  At least Obama has a good head on his shoulders.
I don't think he will be the savior all his "people" see him to be and I will not join the Obama cult following.  However, I will be respectful because he is my president too now.  I will watch his mistakes and I may say I told you so, but I won't boo him or be ignorant about my viewpoints.
The one thing I hate most about people is ignorance.  I am hopeful that with Obama's presidency that some of the ignorance in this damn country may be wiped out.
 
I wish President Obama all the luck and I hope he doesn't turn out like all the other presidents and at the end of his term look like hell warmed over -lol.
