I miss, George W Bush

[Jspur]

35. George W Bush was the first president in my lifetime that I truly hated

. He became president right when when I was 17 and half years old as a senior in highschool. I couldn't vote that year he ran but I could clearly tell he was an idiot and reminded me of all the affluent privileged smug kids I went to highschool with. I wanted Gore to win but unfortunately Bush got away with cheating in Florida due to the Supreme Court ruling in his favor.

Little did I know the worst was to come as a freshly 18 year old freshman in college when it came to Bush. For those of you who don't know I'm a US born Indian guy whose parents are from India. My ethnicity is Punjabi and I have been mistaken on many occasions of being middle eastern with the way I look. 9/11 happened and afterwards my college experience sucked since I had to deal with a lot of dumb angry racist shit heads who thought I was a terrorist due to my appearance. That was annoying to deal with and Bush made it worse with his stupid war on terror propaganda which pretty much painted all brown skin people as the enemy.

On top of that I made many enemies on campus for speaking out against Bush's war on terror and the laws he enacted such as the patriot act. That truly was not a fun time in my life when it should have been. College is suppose to be fun but for me I never look back on it on fondness due to the nonsense Bush put me through.
