Dear President Bush, Do the Honorable Thing: Resign!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 18, 2008 -- Even you can't deny the fact that this election was just as much an expression of disapproval of your misguidance of our nation's direction as it was an exercise in merely selecting your successor. The fact that it was such a lopsided victory suggests that the voting public is convinced that any change from our present governance must be a change for the better!
Mr. President, you are presented with a momentuous opportunity. How you respond to this opportunity may be more memorable than anything else which might impact your legacy!

Mr President, the nation is in crisis. Businesses are failing at an alrming rate, jobs are being obliterated, the financial foundation of our economy is crumbling, people are losing their homes, and the list goes on and on! Mr. President, I submit to you that, under these circumstances, the last thing we need in the White House right now is a lame duck for the next two months! Yes, I know that two months doesn't appear to be a lot of time remaining in your term; however, judging from evidences such as the rapid pace of the undenial recession and the wild swings in the stock market in one day, for example, two months might seem like an eternity!
Mr. President, you have the opportunity to make a magnanimous gesture. You could stand down and yield the remainder of your term to your successor, to give him and his incoming administration a jump on trying to straighten out the mess which you have made of things (I don't know how else to put it, Mr. President?)! Let's face it, Mr. President: your legacy is shot! Following this suggestion might be the most honorable, merciful thing you might do at this late date to redeem in any way your legacy!

There is nothing which you can do to redeem the Iraq War. However Iraq might eventually turn out, such an overwhelming vote of disapproval was an acknowledgement of what an horrendous blunder the Iraq Invasion was on your part! Mr. President, it is time for you to concentrate on what good you could do for the country now! I submit to you that there is no greater good that you could do for the nation at this moment than to yield the remainder of your term as a gesture of good will!
Think of it, Mr. President, how the country said with its overwhelming vote that it wants you gone yesterday! Do you really want to hang around under these circumstances, knowing that your whole governance has been so utterly rejected? Wouldn't it be so much more merciful for you not to stand in the way of your successor's addressing these unprecedented challenges which we as a nation face?

Yes, we all may wish in hindsight that you had surrounded yourself with individuals who had the courage to stand up to you and give you candid advice, even if it went against what you wanted to hear, as opposed to your surrounding yourself with a bunch of 'Yes' men. Alas, you got what you wanted!
You have a choice, Mr. President. You can either bury your head in the sand and pretend that you were not fazed by the ou
