Bush is definitely one of the worst Presidents we've ever had, but there's a naivety to say he's the only problem with America. America before, during, and after Bush will still have major problems that have become so fundamentally deep that it's nearly impossible to fix.

Our middle east policy has been a complete failure since around 1948. The problems in the middle east will continue long after Bush leaves office. People forget that during the Clinton administration we had people "hating" us...that's why the embassy bombings in Africa happened, that's why the U.S.S. Cole happened.

That's just once slice of the problems we have to face and deal with in the future, but other issues that have been around long before Bush stepped into office. Let's face it from the 1970's on we should have been actively developing technologies and alternatives so we wouldn't have to be dependent on foreign oil. Every President has dropped the ball on that one.

The education system has been in shambles for years, universal healthcare, there's really no feasible proposal that's been presented, and countless other issues like outsourcing American industry, weak borders, social security funding, etc, etc, etc, all these things started a long time ago and no one has solutions for them.

If I were to say what the main problem with America is...I'd have to say that our political system is broken and needs fixing. Congress, they should put term limits on immediately...95% of our politicians are bought by special interest groups. The Presidential elections or any elections for that matter, needs serious campaign finance reforms. Most of all people need to go out and vote. There should have never been a close election Bush vs. Anyone with a pulse...he should have lost in a landslide both times, but too many people are disinterested in their responsibilities. You have the right to vote, use it, if you don't fuck off you can't complain. How many people stayed at home thinking, "Bush sucks, no one will elect him, I don't need to go out and vote"...yeah, surprise!!!

So, Bush is definitely one of the worst Presidents, but it's too simplistic to say he's the root to all our problems...it's just nonsensical to think our next President is going to make things right...they're not.
