After watching the president of the United States address the nation on Thursday, Sept. 13, in regards to our current debacle in Iraq, I was once again reminded just how uninspiring an individual George W. Bush really is.

His "stay the course" rhetoric is old and ineffectual. This is a man who was given the greatest resources the world knows - the U.S. economy and military - and he has abused them both miserably.

By his own account, he intends to leave office with our military still stuck in the Iraqi sand, at the cost of billions of dollars per month, with no better plan than what is currently in place.

I cannot believe that I am actually anticipating the next presidential election season - complete with 24 hours of political ads, ad nauseum - to ever watching this president address our great nation again.
