Chance To Bid Bush And Cheney God Bless, Or Good Riddance
Roll Call, Congress.org, is providing the opportunity for Americans to write, and have delivered by e-mail or regular mail, a farewell message to President Bush or Vice President Cheney.
This is their message:
TELL PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH GOODBYE
This is your last chance to send your final thoughts to President George W. Bush. Do you send him off with cheers or jeers? Post your message to Letters to Leaders so everyone can see your final words to him.
You can also say goodbye to Vice President Dick Cheney.

I took advantage of the opportunity, and appreciate Roll Call giving me the opportunity, but the chances that the e-mails or letters will actually be delivered to or read by these gentlemen are remote to nil.
So here are my two letters (Sorry for the similarities, but these are two very similar gentlemen):
To:
President George W. Bush
January 13, 2009
Dear President Bush:
It would be disingenuous of me to say that I am sad to see you go, or that I will miss you, your administration, or your policies.
I sincerely believe that the vast majority of Americans are relieved that the past eight years are finally coming to an end, and are looking forward to hopefully restoring or repairing our economy; true compassionate treatment of the sick, poor, and needy; national pride and confidence in our country’s leadership; the respect and admiration the world community has always had for our nation; and, most of all, the rule of law and our Constitutional processes.
I do thank you for your recent kind words and actions towards our incoming president and his family, for what you have done to make the transition of presidential powers as smooth and honorable as possible, and for any good intentions you may have had when you assumed the office of President of our great country.
I do wish you and your family well
To:
Vice President Richard B. Cheney
January 13, 2009
Dear Mr. Cheney:
It would be very disingenuous of me to say that I am sad to see you go, or that I will miss you, the Bush administration, or the policies you have been instrumental in developing and implementing.
I sincerely believe that the vast majority of Americans are relieved that the past eight years are finally coming to an end, and are looking forward to hopefully restoring or repairing our economy; true compassionate treatment of the sick, poor, and needy; national pride and confidence in our country’s leadership; the respect and admiration the world community has always had for our nation; and, most of all, the rule of law and our Constitutional processes.
I do thank you for making Americans painfully aware of how careful they need to be in electing or selecting their future national leaders, and that “gravitas” alone a good leader does not make.
I do wish you and your family well in all your future endeavors—except in seeking another national public office.
