Bush: 'Our Long National Nightmare Of Peace And Prosperity Is Finally Over' | The Onion

I remember reading this great piece of satire when it was first published in The Onion almost 6 years ago. It's scary to look back and see how close they came to predicting the future. The link for the article is below.

America under Clinton was a really good place to be. The economy was great, we lived in relative peace (besides the small-time conflicts involving specialized forces), and people were content with their president despite a minor sex scandal.

America under Bush is a much different place. Just as the Onion predicted, our peace did not last long under Bush's control. We have been at war for most of the Bush presidency, and most American's are not even sure why. Just as the article predicted, greedy industries like oil and defense contractors became rich under Bush's military-industrial state.

Fiscal policy under Clinton actually made sense. The federal defecit was turned into an surplus. Bush turned it right back around, even though he was supposed to be conservative. Is conservative now just a word to get southerners to vote for you? It certainly never seemed to mean much more than that to Bush. Anyway, read the article.
