The US has a new President...

[misscam]

and this might be the last time I use this icon. Wow. I'll need something to replace it with. (Any suggestions?) Well. Bye bye Bush, and your amazing abilities to piss me off. I'm almost a little sad. It was so convenient to have such a symbol for so many things I dislike in you. So long.

But so many hopeful Americans - historically many - looking so proud too, that was rather touching and strangely sweet and cheered me right up. Good luck, Obama. My part of the world wishes you well at least, whatever that might mean for you. (Be wise with that goodwill, yeah? There was lots of it for the US right after 9/11 and it was impressively killed so very fast.)

Good luck from Norway!

Given shit he's done will likely echo for years to come, i suggest keeping it!

I still can't believe Bush is gone. If only the shitstorm he created was gone, too. :(

I made myself a couple of new icons for the occasion - the one I'm using and this one too.



Feel free to snag either if you like :)

I wish him luck and I wish the world luck.

Oh I'd suggest keeping it. The stuff from his administration will still be hanging around during Prez. Obama's term. Well, at least for the first few months anyway.

Besides, it's an awesome icon. Hee. I kinda want to blow it up, print it and hang it across my apt. door. XD

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Yes, but he won't be making new stuff and thus others may pass his accomplishments, as it were.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Guess he wants the US to have something to remember him by.

They're nice, but he's not really my president, so I'd feel a bit weird about using them. I'm sure I'll find a perfect one eventually.

Ahhh, the sweet smell of regime change.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Some of the stuff will probably cling on for years. Ew. Poticial airfreshener is needed-

Hee, innit just? fondued_jicama kindly made it for me on my request. It seemed to express my distaste for him just right.

I suggest a 'hope' icon... because that's what I've got here.

*breathes a huge-fucking-sigh-of-relief-oh-hell-yes*

[krazykat.livejournal.com]

That's lovely. Mind if I snag?

[fried-flamingo.livejournal.com]

No, not at all! Snag away :D

I kid you not, that was the first thing we found a vendor selling. Obama air freshener.

I wish I knew who made that adorkable icon comparing Obama and the Ninth Doctor when it came to dorky dancing, because socute.

...I like fried_flamingo's though.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Seriously? I haven't seen that in NY. Now *that* would be good fodder for an icon, if anyone took a pic of that.

[neadods.livejournal.com]

Ignore previous comment; wrong picture. SOmewhere I have that freshener; the vendor pretty much ambushed us with a package deal of that, a keychain & a lanyard (which she put around our necks like a medal) I don't know where mine is, but it made it into the house.

I think you just need to find a new scapegoat, a new soul nemesis. You and Bush had a very special hate filled relationship, but considering all of the douche bags that are still doing terrible things in high positions of power in this world, I'm sure you can find a worthy rebound.
