What Now?

What Now?
By: Jen Bundy

In recent weeks, there is no doubt that newly elected President Barrack Obama dominated the media outlets and was the center of much excitement. His momentum into office is fueled by hope and faith that Obama will lead this country to success. However, little has been said about his processor George W. Bush. With Bush leaving behind an economic recession, two wars, and countless other conflicts there has been little remorse surrounding his departure. But some have to wonder, what now?

President Bush left behind his beloved homeland of Texas to journey to Washington D.C. over eight years ago to serve his terms in office. Many wonder, will he miss it? Being President must have become accustom to him and his family, just part of their daily routine. Will he miss the kitchen staff, who will serve every meal to your exact specifications? What about the beautiful history all within the walls of The White House? Or will they be rejoiced to journey back home to a warm welcome, and leave behind the close scrutiny and disappointment in Washington D.C?

In a recent interview with People Magazine, Laura Bush admits that as a family they will be looking forward to returning to Texas, where they have always held a home in Crawford. The Bushes are planning to spend their new free time relaxing on their ranch and slowing down their hectic pace of life. Both are quoted as saying, they will continue their charitable work which among other things, advocate education, feeding the hunger, and literacy. Although many may be looking forward to this new era of politics, some people such as Lorne Michaels, a writer on Saturday Night Live, will miss President Bush and the endless of jokes that surrounded him.
