To the Editor,

I didn’t wish for the failure that was the Bush administration. I didn’t wish for lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction that led us to an unnecessary war, resulting in 4,228 deaths of American soldiers and 1,000,000 Iraqis.

I didn’t wish for 4.5 million Iraqi orphans, including 500,000 homeless children. I didn’t wish for the neglect of our wounded soldiers that was exemplified by the Walter Reed scandal. I didn’t wish for the disregard of our military by failing to equip and protect them as too few of them were sent to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I didn’t wish for the total disregard for the citizen-soldiers known as the National Guard to be rotated on multiple deployments to war zones,leaving our nation and their families in jeopardy. I didn’t wish for the shortchanging of our veterans by cutting services and raising fees for our veterans.

I didn’t wish for the crumbling economy with poor oversight of investment banks by the SEC, 1,000 percent increase in the deficit and tax cuts in light of a war in two countries. I didn’t wish for a record number of homeowners to lose their homes due to mismanagement of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I didn’t wish for a complete disregard of the Constitution and law shown by the Bush administration, as evidenced by one signing statement for every 10 laws passed — making these laws invalid.

I didn’t wish for over 45 million Americans to be without health insurance, leaving a sicker population to be entering our emergency rooms for primary care. I didn’t wish for record high unemployment, decreases in consumer spending and closures of businesses large and small as a direct result of the 2003 tax cuts proposed and passed by President Bush-to the objection of 10 Nobel laureates in economics.

I didn’t wish for any of these, and yet they happened.

Now I hear people wishing for the failure of the Obama administration. Who would wish for the failure of their country?

President Obama has a formidable task ahead of him. I pray he has the strength and foresight to create success out of the failures left for him.

To the Editor,

Has anyone noticed that those Americans that suffer from Bush Derangement Syndrome, now expect those of us that did not vote for the O’messiah to drop to their knees and worship along side of them.

Hopefully, they won’t mind if I wait to see what he does with the five loaves and two fishes before I join in the stampede.
