If you haven't already seen it, watch the video.By no means am I a fan of George W. Bush, but I know I'm not alone when I say I'll be missing him. Obviously it has nothing to do with his policies or what he stands for. Over the past eight years, he has been a steady source of entrainment. Afterall, how often do we have the pleasure of seeing our president (impressively) dodge flying shoes during a press conference in a foreign country? So what if most people either don't respect him or despise him? At least he makes us (and them) laugh!
Barack Obama on the other hand is far from entertaining. Eloquent bouts of rhetoric notwithstanding, his press conferences are boring at best. He tries to crack a joke every now and then, but he only comes off as corny. I guess being smooth and funny don't always go hand in hand. There is at least one benefit to that: we won't have people all over the world laughing at our president anymore!

People don't simply "laugh at" our president... they talk about him, they hate him. That is because he is a strong personality and he has always done what he thinks is right and been very open about it. People cannot stand a person who says that he believes in and does it even if it is not the most popular thing in the world (i.e., removing Saddam). For all of the talk of change, Obama will bring the US back to "business as usual".
