Why I am ready to see the end of the Bush era

I think this interview typifies why it is time for President Bush to ride off into the sunset. He has done some great things for this country (no terrorist attacks since September 11) but I am ready for a President that can communicate in a clear, articulate, and intelligent matter. I also find it somewhat insulting that the President believes I should accept his claim that "America doesn't torture" when he refuses to define what he considers torture. Without that clear definition, his claim is worthless. That definition would not require him to reveal specific tactics, as he claims. Notice also he chuckles when Bill O'Reilly says his administration has been called fascist. It is this smug superiority that turns off the average American. Unfortunately, John McCain has been known to exhibit some of those same mannerisms. Being called a fascist is not a laughing matter, and President Bush should take such claims seriously.
