Bush Criticised For Not Achieving Goals In First Year Out Of Office

Jan 20th, 2010 marked the first anniversary of Barack Obama’s inauguration as President of the United States, thus also marking one year since George W. Bush left office. This milestone has drawn attention to the complete lack of effective post-Presidential behaviour by the former Commander In Chief, who had made a number of outlandish and speculative promises about what he could and would achieve once free of the responsibilities of his station. One year ago, Bush made assurances that he would clean the gutters, tidy up the garage and fix the toilet, but to date he has made little progress on any of these.

"This is nothing short of frustrating," said Laura Bush, former First Lady. "George never was one for housework, but if he says he'll do something, he should do it. This isn't like the capturing Bin Laden thing, he can't just hope the next guy's gonna take care of it." However, former President Bush is reportedly pleased at meeting some of his other goals, which included watching more ESPN and composing folksy anecdotes about being the most powerful man in the world. By contrast, Dick Cheney has enthusiastically surpassed his own aspirations, seizing power in a number of developing nations and controlling them from the shadows, as well as shooting at least five more people in the face.
