SO LONG, BUSH!

I am SO happy this day has finally arrived! Not only are we turning a new chapter in history by inaugurating the first black president, but we are FINALLY getting rid of George "Dubbya" Bush. Good Riddance!!! In honor of this momentous occasion, I'd like to give you all some deep thoughts to ponder. Enjoy!!
