The American people have relegated the Republican party to minority status and elected Democrat Barack Obama to take the nation in a new direction. As citizens, we have a choice. We can wait and watch as the Republicans block the changes we want to see, and while the media shifts the blame for the failures of the Bush years onto President Obama--or we can get involved and help our new President make the changes America needs.
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney should have been impeached as soon as it was discovered that their administration had cooked the books on the reasons for invading Iraq (or for any number of other high crimes and misdemeanors engendered by their ill-conceived War on Terror). But they were not impeached--though they may wish they had been; because now America must deal with their crimes within our criminal justice system.
The real legacy of the Bush Administration is to be a reminder. George W. Bush is the embodiment of all the human frailties the Founding Fathers warned us about, and his administration is an example of how bad government can become, if citizens do not stay informed and involved.
