There has been so much hype surrounding the inauguration of President Barack Obama lately that farewell gestures, positive or negative, to George W. Bush seem to have been few and far between. He seems to have quickly faded into the background.

For those who would like to give themselves a proverbial pat on the back for still standing as a functioning member of society despite turbulent times under the 8-year term of former President George W. Bush, this ‘I Survived the [Bush Administration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beanbq-boots)’ tee shirt is a novel way to go about it.
