I'm a fan of Oliver Willis and his blog, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to take issue with this:

No, Jeff, you're wrong. He's not my president. He's not interested in protecting me, my family, or yours. He doesn't care. Ronald Reagan was my president, George H.W. Bush was my president, and Bill Clinton was my president. This man? No. He's the president of Jesusland, and answers only to them.

I'm one of those Democrats who used to get monumentally pissed off back in the '90s when prominent Republicans would occasionally utter phrases like "your president, Bill Clinton." And I was right to get angry, because people who truly love this country and its democratic form of government don't go around cavalierly undermining the legitimacy of its duly elected leaders.

So, as someone who knows that Oliver does love this nation and its democratic institutions, I'd like to invite him to join me in saying the following heartfelt words:

George W. Bush is my president. Dammit!

Well, considering that I am a proud resident of Massachusetts I'm not sure how I should react. I mean it is clear to me that he really doesn't consider my home state part of the US (his campaign practically had us as the fourth member of the Axis of Evil...). How many times does one have to be kicked before it is time to fight back?
