Lowered Standards Make Success Easy!

[4thofeleven]

A DEPARTING George Bush yesterday told Americans that keeping them safe from further terrorist attacks after September 11, 2001, had been his greatest achievement…

…"There is legitimate debate about many of these decisions but there is little debate about the results," he said. "America has gone more than seven years without another terrorist attack on our soil."

Well, I personally think George Bush is selling himself short! What about his other achievements? Why, under his leadership, only one American city was obliterated! The economy is merely in recession, not a depression! A full twenty percent of the American population don't actively despise him! And with the help of a magic rock, Bush has ensured there's been no tiger attacks within the US during his term in office!

But I suppose it makes sense that the achievement that he's most proud of is that there was only a single massive terrorist attack in the US during his presidency. That's a pretty good record, right? I mean, nobody's perfect, are they? We can only hope that Obama will prove just as competent in limiting terrorism to only a single major incident in eight years...
