Has any president in US history ever evoked this kind of reaction?
Mayan priests will purify a sacred archaeological site to eliminate “bad spirits” after President Bush visits next week, an official with close ties to the group said Thursday.
“That a person like (Bush), with the persecution of our migrant brothers in the United States, with the wars he has provoked, is going to walk in our sacred lands, is an offense for the Mayan people and their culture,” Juan Tiney, the director of a Mayan nongovernmental organization with close ties to Mayan religious and political leaders, said Thursday.
Bush is going to be remembered as the most hated president ever in the history of the United States. He has tainted our reputation across the world, and our children and grandchildren yet unborn will still be paying for his mistakes when they are old men and women.
Maybe once he leaves office, we should ask those Mayan priests to come and purify the White House, too.
