End of the Bush Era

I wrote earlier about the The so slow death of Bush. Now the WaPo has set the date for the End of the Bush Era, it is in the past. Here is a piece from the obituary;

And so the Bush Era ended definitively on Sept. 2, the day Bush first toured the Gulf Coast States after Hurricane Katrina. There was no magic moment with a bullhorn. The utter failure of federal relief efforts had by then penetrated the country's consciousness. Yesterday's resignation of FEMA Director Michael Brown put an exclamation point on the failure.

What happens to Bush now? He has more than three years left in his term. The moment he understands that he was very lucky to be president and acknowledge his failures, the US people will have some level of respect for him. If on, the otherhand, he arrogantly keeps claiming to be in control he'll be doomed to an agonising life in limbo.
