Bush Gets Emotional Over White House Transition

“As January 20th draws near, some of you may be anxious about finding a new job or a new place to live. I know how you feel,” Bush told them with a laugh.
I doubt it.. he has spend almost as much time at his ranch in Crawford as he has in the White House. Only difference now is that he will be a guest if/when he returns to Washington.
I only wish we could do the switch now.. Bush as already put the country in the toilet.. a couple more months and he could wind up pulling the handle and flushing it.

Bush will forever be known as “WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!”

lolo hahahahah lolo ahahahahahah lolo hahahahahah You cant be Serious!!!That man is a Muderer and War Criminal hope he rots in hell where he belongs!

– Can anyone give me a hint when I will be expecting to receive the $1000 that President 0bama said that he would give us if we voted for him? –
Can you cite your reference for that $1000 he said he would give you?

I voted for Bush BEFORE I realized he had become a theocrat. The extreme “Religious Right” has wrecked the Republican Party.
If the GOP has any hope of ever returning to power, they MUST move toward the center and expunge the religious zealots who have transformed the party into something it was never intended to be.

Can you cite your reference for that $1000 he said he would give you?

===========================
On August 1, 2008:
The first part of Obama’s plan is an emergency energy rebate ($500 to individual workers, $1,000 to families) as soon as this fall.
“This rebate will be enough to offset the increased cost of gas for a working family over the next four months,” Obama said. “Or, if you live in a state where it gets very cold in the winter, it will be enough to cover the entire increase in your heating bills. Or you could use the rebate for any of your other bills or even to pay down debt…
We live in ND.

i dont n=know much about politics, but all i know that McCain sucked in the elections…

– The first part of Obama’s plan is an emergency energy rebate ($500 to individual workers, $1,000 to families) as soon as this fall. –
Ahh yes, the windfall profits tax on the oil companies.. forgot about that. Same thing Palin used in Alaska to boost her popularity and McCain came flat out and said he would not do under any circumstance.
My guess is that you will just have to wait until sometime after January 20th for Congress to work up legislation for it. I guess it’s a good thing Obama won, as it was not even a consideration with McCain :)

For all you Bush haters out their F%^&^& you!!!! After Bush won his first term as President he could not get into office and pick his cabinet because of Al Gore’s claim to to Presidency due to proclaimed voter fraud in FLorida. It stalled him three months. He also had to deal with Billy Boy Clinton’s failures as President to deal with Al Queda while in office. Bush then had to deal with 9/11/01. I will say he will go down in history as a great President. He kicked some ass and restored justice to defend the rights of all Americans who lost loved ones on that day. Do not ever forget his contribution, if you do your a worthless American.

Bush has had one of the toughest presidency’s in a long time. Wait until they get ahold of Obama. I hope they chew him up and spit him out. They are already making excuses for him and now instead of Hope it is the Audacity of Hype.

Concerned American,
For your question in case you have been misinformed,
From our Greatest Leader’s website:
http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/newenergy_more
Obama and Biden will enact a windfall profits tax on excessive oil company profits to give American families an immediate $1,000 emergency energy rebate to help families pay rising bills. This relief would be a down payment on the Obama-Biden long-term plan to provide middle-class families with at least $1,000 per year in permanent tax relief.

We still have 2 months and 14 days left. Can we still bring this guy and his cronies up on war crimes when they’re gone?

You all should be ashamed of yourselves for the comments about OUR president. No matter what President Bush has done or not done he is STILL the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and deserves all the respect that goes with the office. The same goes for President-Elect Obama. I did not vote for him and it scares me everyday to think of what could happen, but I will still respect the man and come January 20th he will be given the same respect as every president should. That is what is great about our country. We can say and feel however we wish but my goodness, have a little respect for someone who voluntarily took on the hardest job in the world. And unless you are willing to take his place then you should show some respect.

Concerned,
I don’t care it’s windfall or waterfall. He told us we would get it as soon as this fall if he was elected and we voted for him. Do you think it’s gonna be his #1 priority to help us poor Americans?

dint barry soetoro say he would legalize weed?

Don’t like Bush at all, but this was very gracious, very touching and I admire his efforts in this transition.
Well done, Mr. President.

I am still waiting for someone to explain the evil “Bush Policies” We have not had another attack since 9/11. Maybe if Clinton had done more, 9/11 would have never happened. Iraq was probably not the place to go, but we are there and can’t just pull out like Obama and Pelosi want us to do. America stood up to its enemy and told them that we wouldn’t take anymore crap.

Hey people! Congress declares war not the President. John, Hillary and all the rest of your idols voted for it too.

GH, where I come from you have to EARN respect. Had he been a GOOD president or even par president I would have no problem. But he abused his position and “screwed the pooch” on every issue that came across his desk. He’s an abysmal failure. He was able to get re-elected because of those religious fanatics and his fear mongering tactics. I for one would have voted for a dried up, rotted, moose pelt before I would have voted for Bush.

Hey Sam – let’s look into criminal charges against Obama while we are at it. Of course, we can’t do that, we would then be labled RACIST.

I am glad that bush is making an effort to help with the transition. However,
01-20-2009 the END of an ERROR…

At least George won’t steal the “H’s” off the keyboards or take any of the furniture like slick willy did.

Praise God that the Bush Administration is coming to an end! It’s been 8 years of sheer hell!

To those of you who are President-elect Obama supporters, I do not expect kind words from you about President Bush but, I do expect you to respect the office. To those of you who DID support President Bush in 2000 and 2004 and now, since his term of office is almost ended, you find it necessary to assualt him with a barrage of criticism, I say to you… GET A GRIP! Whether you agree with President Bush or not… until January 20, 2009 at 12:00 noon, Mr. Bush is the COMMANDER AND CHIEF of this country and deserves the respect of his office. I’m curious to see how you critique Mr. Obama once the “honeymoon period” is over and he faces the day to day challenges Mr. Bush has. If our new president makes any mistakes, God knows I’m sure you’ll all be right there ready to eviscerate him!

“Independent Fighter, your the kind of person that needs to be taken out back behind the shed and given an attitude adjustment. Your a pathetic, worthless pile of crap that needs to be cleaned up!!!”
—————————————-
I’m sorry smitty…you obviously have me confused with your savior “Bubba Bush”. Now go play with your guns and wave your confederate flag.

I agree with Smitty Smith. President Bush is being blamed for things that took place before he was in office and now he is reaping the after effects! Did he make mistakes, yes. But NO President is going to make everyone happy! I think he did a great job! He deserves our respect and gratitude! I voted for him both times and I voted for McCain! America has a hard 4 years ahead of them, this country is going to get even worse. But God does have a plan for this country, I pray that He looks over us each and every day, we are going to need it! God Bless you and your family President Bush, thank you for protecting this country since 9/11!

James Buchanan is the worst president in history. Last time I checked, Bush didn’t lose any states.

– until January 20, 2009 at 12:00 noon, Mr. Bush is the COMMANDER AND CHIEF of this country and deserves the respect of his office. –
Respect is earned, not given simply because of where one sits. Bush lost most peoples respect long ago. He has shown poor judgment, a monochromatic view of the world indicating a simple mind unable to deal with complexities, and an inability to do his primary job, uphold the laws of the land.

jeff….. you MUST be kidding… right??? if not…OMG!!!!
I AM SURE you were a mcsame/palin supporter! and you wish that obama can only do half of what bush did??? what are you talking about??? bush’s economic policies have thrown us into the worst economic times since the great deprsssion!!! we are looked down upon around the globe and have to hang our heads when we say we are american!!!
we have killed innocents for the sake of revenge for what mean ole saddam did to his daddy!!! the man pretty much considered our constitution a lousy piece of paper meant for the peons… NOT HIM THO!! the list of negatives is too lengthy to post here…but WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING MAN??
JEEZ…. AND THEY LET PEOPLE LIKE THIS ACTUALLY CAST BALLOTS!!! no wonder mclame got some votes!

Thank you President Bush for keeping America safe. We have had NO terrorist attacks on US soil since 9/11. When all is said and done, history will show you to be among the BEST Presidents. God Bless George W. Bush, and God Bless America!

To all you Bhaaa-rack Oh-bomb’a sheeple out there… the WORST president in history was Jimmy “where’s my pea-NUTS” Carter! With his do nothing but stand frozen by fear (like Bhaaa-rack did during the first few days of the financial crisis). Or is appeasement to powers that were not our friendly… and his socialistic ideals that ran gas prices and unemployment up… making a bad situation worse! Strange: Almost EXACTLY what Bhaaa-rack and his sheeple want to do… Raise taxes in a recession, give hand outs with money that is not there… and cost our nation its free capitalist republic status to turn it into a nanny-state socialistic turd!
Obomb’a will fall to the same fate that Jimmy Carter did… because they are two peas in a pod… cowards against our foes, tax and spend fools!
Mark my words kids… you heard it first from your Big Daddy!
Bunch of ignorant, stupid, lemming, sheeple!

The only thing that I don’t agree with Bush on is his immigration policy. And McCain and Obama have the same one. The illegal immigrants are going to be the downfall of America. I feel sorry for our children and grandchildren.

Don’t hold your breath for your $1000. The Big O hasn’t even paid his campaign workers yet and they’re hoppin’ mad. Kinda puts a new spin on things when you find out they PAID their canvassers, now, doesn’t it? Obama bought this election with the millions he promised not to use. Sad that the black folks can’t see they’ve been bought once again, in 2008.

Hey guys, you’re fools if you think Bush gave a rat’s ### about anyone other than the rich. He and his cronies made a killing (pun intended) in this war. Their crimes will go unpunished, but the consequenses will be visited on the American people for generations. You stupid people. Wake up! W’s damage is still not fully known. These guys are very evil people.

Concerned American:
Unless your IQ is sufficiently over 140 you ought to clog that ignorant puke spewing pie hole with your fat little fingers so you can’t type such foolish, childish, garbage!
If there is NO security… the economy is a MOOT point! There would be economic, civil, and government chaos if ever, God forbid, there were another terror attack on US soil the likes of 9/11….
Flip’n tool… go get a CLUE!

You, the American public are responsible for the country you have and the shape it is in. As a rule, you are ignorant, disloyal, needy, flagrant hypocrites and have a 2 second attention span. You are hypocrites who literally salivate when you have a scapegoat. The personal characteristics of the average US citizen disgust me. But then, that’s the way people are everywhere, unfortunately.
I hope the citizens will realize they elect leaders to command, because as a group, the voters are a soulless, mindless, ignorant, raging mob, and support the next president, and show him respect, even when they disagree with his policies.

“Sad that the black folks can’t see they’ve been bought once again, in 2008.”
Hey ignorant white fool, go find out how many WHITES voted for Obama. The racists will die hard in this country, but your views will die nonetheless because your children hate you and the way you think and live. That’s why they voted for Obama.

SNL skit – Pelosi, Reid and Frank
Do you have a job? No
Are you an American citizen? No
Are you a Democrat? yes
Here’s your loan.
If a liberal show like SNL knows where to put the blame then everybody else should too.

Big Daddy : How do we fund the military if we have no money? Economy has to come first, or we implode. Ideally, we need to keep it in balance, but we’ve gotten ourselves into a big hole and we need to rationalize. We need to be vigilant re: the war against terror, but our allies have had terrorist attacks made upon their soil since 9/11. We need to inspire greater assistance from other countries with our endeavours – we can’t be chasing terrorists across sovereign borders and in and out of every foxhole in the middle east – it will bankrupt us. Then how safe will we be?

– Unless your IQ is sufficiently over 140 you ought to clog that ignorant puke spewing pie hole with your fat little fingers so you can’t type such foolish, childish, garbage! –
My, my.. such a compelling argument in support of your claims..
– If there is NO security… the economy is a MOOT point! There would be economic, civil, and government chaos if ever, God forbid, there were another terror attack on US soil the likes of 9/11…. –
Your assertion is not based on reality. There have been terrorist attacks all over the world and in far greater numbers than 9/11, and yet not a single incident of your predictions regarding chaos. And in analysis of removing terrorist threats over the past 60 or so years, rarely has military force been successful. Indeed, look at what military force has done with our current situation in Afghanistan and Iraq. We could have had 10 times the size of our military, and that would have done little good preventing those 19 individuals from performing the attacks on 9/11. Again, simple minds do seem to think alike.

Hey Lee – vastly more whites voted for Obama than did african americans, so have a seat and enjoy this glass of shut the hell up.
It was HIS campaign and HIS money, so it’s NONE of your business who was paid. (And by the way – he didn’t promise not to only use public money – only to use it if certain other situations were as they should be… and they weren’t.) That’s what happens when public money is not accepted. ANY criticism you have of how he spends the money is pointless and pathetic.
The VAST majority of campaign workers are unpaid, anyway, and the “hoppin’ mad” story you’re referring to is apocryphal – UNTRUE.
One last thing… for BigDaddy and Smitty – your sour grapes are pathetic. Here’s the proper response: ha haaaa ha ha ha ha haaaaa!!! HA HA HAAA AHA HAAAAAAAA!
Pathetic.

I wish no harm to befall Obama and I would hope that no one else would either. His associations scare me like they did the 56 million that voted for McCain.

BUSH WAS BEHIND THE CURTAINS ON 9/11!!!
The evidence is overwhelming!
If your gonna accept all the propoganda about Obama as gospel…you better go read up on 9/11 before you make yourself look more ignorant than you already do.

Big Daddy – “tax and spend liberal” is a dead term. You might have learned this if you’d stepped out of your cave in the past 16 years. Clinton left the US in a condition of unprecedented growth and streamlined government, and Bush expanded government and drove the country into the ground. Using the term “tax and spend liberal” exposes you as more of a “little daddy”.

“It is because of him that we have a n—— president. Shame. He should have been up there issuing an apology, but he isn’t bright enough to know or care how he wrecked this once-great country. He is beneath pity. He is fit only for loathing.”
This is hysterical. You’re just as ignorant as he is! No one cares about the n word, idiot. I’m black, and I think your post is hilarious!

– Please tell me how you would fight a war on terrorism. –
Well, first off – there is no such thing as a ‘war on terrorism’. That is a made up term in order to push a political agenda. As for how to deal with terrorist organizations? Perhaps you would like to read a recent congressional testimony given to the senate armed forces committee in September.. notice it’s similarity to what was put forth in the Iraq Study Groups analysis, and what the goal of Obamas 2007 withdrawal plans were:
http://www.rand.org/pubs/testimonies/CT314/index.html

Thank you President Bush,
I am glad that we finally had a president who could talk (at times) to the ordinary people (less than 90 IQ). An amazing president who obviously deeply believed in God (Cheney). Who led the masses to the bright light of freedom and liberty (oil wars). The great man who helped us to achieve the true american dream of prosperity (101 K’s). I am ashamed that I am one of the smart elites (educated) that have not understood this great man’s heart (guantanamo bay) that speaks to the masses (28% of the country who cannot read)
Amen
JS

Diane – I think you fight a war on Terrorism with infiltration and intelligence. You plan for the long term, infiltrate terrorist organisations and destroy them. We’ve lost a lot of soldiers, caused the deaths of thousands of innocent civilians, are being bankrupted by the exercise and have not caught Bin Laden. We don’t have much to show for all it has cost us. We can talk all day about how much more secure we are – or are not. At the end of the day, a good argument can be put that we have actually made matters worse while achieving very little.

Bush has had one of the toughest presidency’s in a long time. Wait until they get ahold of Obama. I hope they chew him up and spit him out. They are already making excuses for him and now instead of Hope it is the Audacity of Hype.
++++++++++++++++
diane – I do not mean to be mean but Bush is leaving Obama the worst mess this country has seen since the great depression and Bush made the mess to boot. I have no pity on the man (Bush) – he so deserves every bad comment (albeit we can do without cuss words)that he gets.

Diane…
You cannot WIN a war against terrorism. It’s not like it has an “army”. It’s a train of mind. You may be able to contain it, for lack of a better word, but you will never defeat it! That was part of Bush’s arrogance and ignorance. He jumped into Iraq thinking that’s where terrorism lived. LOL…it’s every where! They sit back and watch and plan and attack. Bush didn’t plan…he just attacked…again showing his ignorance. Terrorism has been happening for thousands of years! We can’t even stop domestic terrorism in our own country…how ignorant of Bush to think he could brainwash a totally different continent with totally different religious beliefs.

allistair – Guess you forgot that in Clinton’s last 4 fiscal quarters, the economy kept going down. 4.8,3.5,2.4, and 1.9%. Bush inherited a recession. Clinton said during his campaign that he would bring tax cuts to the “middle class”. Well, we are still waiting for that tax cut and oops, he RAISED taxes once he got in office. From 2003 – 2006, GDP grew over 3% per year. The economy has grown 20% since Bush took office. More “rich” people paid more taxes under Bush than Clinton (19% compared to 21%). Under Clinton, unemployment remained under 7.3% and averaged 5.2%. Under Bush, unemployment remained under 6.7% and averaged 5.2%. Since the Bush tax cuts, federal revenue rose. Defense spending has gone from 3% of GDP to just 4% of GDP. There were more Military deaths in 1980, Carter’s last year in office with 3,392 than in any year of the Iraq war. During Bush’s presidency, the bottom 20% of income earners had their wage go up by 91%. The top 20% of wage earners had their wages go down by 26%. Obama wants to take out your 401K’s and put them into the social security fund. First, you have NO control over your social security, it is OWNED by the Gov’t. Think of all the millions that will be taken out of the stock market. All those businesses will lose money. Remember, stockholders own a piece of those companies. Businesses will not hire new employees, they will increase the cost of goods, they will pay more in corporate taxes. You will pay a higher capital gains tax too. Hope you are happy. Once Obama comes in, you will be aching to have Bush back in office.

– There is always a way to win a war… but we lack the balls we had in the 40′s during WWII! When we nuked the Japanese into total submission! –
Then I guess by your rational, we should be nuking Britan as well? After all, it was british ‘terrorists’ responsible for us not being able to take liquids on airplanes, as well as the reason we must remove our shoes at security checkpoints.
How does that fit into your nuke the enemy and the faux ‘war on terrorsm’?

I didn’t vote for Bush. All my friends hate him with a passion. His name is a four letter word spoken. I think he could have done far better and I think he knows it too. But I don’t hate him and that speech was very dignified. Now is the time we all need to put our differences aside and work together to bring the country back to the great nation is once was. Better days are ahead, I can feel it. God bless all of us.

– Registered Republican my A$$!
Lying liberals… A fool only a mom could love! –
Typical response I expected from such a simple mind.

Unfortunately, Bush will b living in Park Cities, Dallas, Texas and I will now have 2 find new places 2 eat and hang out due to the traffic and Dallas racists that reside there

Vermont: What?
Foolish banter is better kept for you diary…

Yes, he is definitely a ‘human being’. Just too bad, he didn’t show it sooner.

FunkyWhite:
Exactly it is…
That is the problem with these progressive liberal democrats! They don’t have the balls that Wiliam Ayers does… at least he admitted to being “…a small c communist… the last one willing to admit it…”
These dems like Reid, Palosi, and Obama are all closet communists! The only hope we have now is that the limited number of Republicans in Congress can resist and push back hard enough on their socialistic quazi-communist agendas! Like windfall profit tax and spread the weath individual taxes… only to be given to another whom did not earn said money!
We are at a cross roads my fellow Americans! Better all keep a very close eye on the dem. controlled government… so we don’t end up as “comrades” by this time next year!
Resist Socialism people!

HOW MANY SOULS HAVE PERISHED IN BUSH AND CHENEY´S HANDS BOTH US SOLDIERS AND FOREIGN INNOCENT PEOPLE! HE WAS IMPEACHABLE YET NO ONE DID AND HE DESERVES IMPRISONMENT FOR NOT ONLY MAKING AMERICA POORER AND BORROWER FROM CHINA BUT FOR LYING HIS WAY OUT TO WAR.

History will be kinder to him than most of us were. Thank you, Mr. President.

I don’t agree with Bush’s policies, but he is clearly a class act who respects the office. He is making a gracious and honorable effort to pave the way for President-Elect Obama for the good of the nation and Obama’s administration. This is the way it should be. I wish we would have seen more of this kind of grace and honor used in the presidential campaigns. Both McCain and Obama failed on that point, in my opinion. I’m tired of the bitter partisanship. Whatever happened to selfless service for the good of America?

– so we don’t end up as “comrades” by this time next year! –
Yawn.. wake me up when they come by to take my tractors so they can give them to the ‘collective’. The McCarthy era is over, so you should try to step into the 21st century with the rest of us grown ups. Reality is a nice place, you might enjoy it.

Burn in Hell Bush. Good riddance.

Poor Daddy.. when will you realize that your drivel is just that. As far as video games, don’t have any.. although my grand children do.
And I seriously doubt I will be receiving any ‘redistributed funds’.. I was quite willing to allow the middle class to pay more taxes than me under Bushs tax cuts, but it seems that gravy train will be ending soon. I have no problem returning to the tax rates that were in place under Clinton. Someone has to pay down the debt and close the deficit, so it might as well be individuals such as myself who have profited quite well over the last several years. And while my tax rate may jump by 3% to 39.6%, I am sure that with my current shelters, I will still only pay somewhere in the 15% range, still well below what the middle class will be paying.

Bush is a good man, a better person than anyone will ever realize, I certainly hope that Obama doesn’t have someone running round the country for 2 years telling mindless robots how bad a country we have.

That is what this country has come to…..a bunch of mouthy disrespectul people. PRESIDENT Bush did not create this mess all on his own…..he has an entire congress….democratic at that, that should be taking blame also…
GROW UP

Perfect president, hardly. The worst president ever deserving of the obtuse conspiracies, anger and hatred he’s generated on these posts, reverberated by the liberal media for the last 5 or 6 years? Not even close, history will judge him much more kindly.

Big Daddy, at least you are closer to reality than some on this board, but you are still way off. If blacks simply voted monolithically because of color, we would have President Al Sharpton, President Jesse Jackson, and yes…President Alan Keyes. Youth pop culture and language of African Americans is no different than the Greasers of the 50′s, Valley Girls, Punk Rockers etc. So shut up MOFO! After I finish dis 40 ounce Ima get my gat and popacap inyouazz. You ignant G! Peace out….word.

People hated the war, not Mr. Bush.

Put this murderer in the
cage, and show a future generations

Laura Bush is divorcing George because she has had enough of the affair between W and Condi Rice. Laura has been staying in a hotel – not the White House.

“…always tell your students…” eh?
Therein, “lies” the problem with our education system… You want to try to complicate life and reality with all this “gray” area!
I guess if you can’t do… teach! Right?
You reaffirm your naive perspective my good man/woman!

Concerned American:
Teachers should be made to have at least a decade of REAL world life experience before presuming they can teach anything!
Going from student to teacher is quite a problematic dynamic… you haven’t any experience from which to draw from!
The blind leading the blind as my father use to say!

“I guess if you can’t do… teach! Right?”
—————————————-
I can see you now Big Daddy…you probably drive a gas guzzlin’ Ford 4×4 and have several guns. Probably current military, prior military, or wannabe military. Overweight with facial hair. Scared to death of black people and the unknown.
Are you not aware that your boy McCain mentioned in one of the debates that he wanted to put in motion a plan that enabled all military people to be able to teach…without being licensed. So he’s saying that just because you served in the military, that qualified you to teach the youth of America! LOL!! Some of the most ignorant people I know are prior/current military. The military is a way for dropouts to get buy since they can’t get jobs.
Now that is some good stuff! The retardation of America! As a matter of fact…isn’t GWB mildly retarded in some way? I guess he is another example of how great America is. First, a mildly retarded man becomes president and now a black man! A great nation indeed.

Indi “fighter”
You have a lot of nerve insulting the military and the people whom have fought and died for your right to be a complete moron!
Yes, I’m well aware of the Service men and women teaching idea! They, unlike you, have had to make LIFE or DEATH decisions… not only for themselves but for their closest friends!
YOU, on the other hand are not worthy to carry their foot locker son… That I guarntee!
You are an embarrassment to America and humanity as a whole!

– Teachers should be made to have at least a decade of REAL world life experience before presuming they can teach anything! –
Fear not.. I did not go into teaching until after I had retired. And I had not considered it until I was asked by many of the Regents to do so.
Your presumptions are all unfounded, as is your rather perverse view of the world. Indeed, your statement “Therein, “lies” the problem with our education system… You want to try to complicate life and reality with all this “gray” area!”; That simply shows your lack of ability to deal with the complexities of todays world, and instead view it in binary terms. Such a simplistic view of reality leads to rash conclusions and unrealistic goals, and is evidenced by many of your statements and your resorting to simplistic ad hominem attacks and other logical fallacies to try and support your position.

Megan,
Good man? This guy who destroyed the fabric of our society, who tortured innocent people, who spied on innocent citizens, who has no clue to this day the damage he has done and he is a good man for you? Some people just don’t get it.

How about they stop taking away our money in the first place… then we don’t need to have an economic stimilus!
Trim the fat and cut their pay… they have their political war chest they can use for travel and the like!
Our government is the MOST wasteful of any in the entire world… programs for this, grants for that, hand outs to this-that-and-the-other!
The whole point of the English settlers ditching the Crown and wanting to go independent was the fact of taxiation without representation… WE don’t have TRUE representation now! WE are back right were we started! The whole idea was every man for himself, good, bad or indefferent! But they had that freedom to chose what, where, when, and how to live! You sheeple are complete fools who have sold their soul to the devil for “hope” when it is nothing more than HYPE!
It did not begin with Obama but it will end with him, provided he gets his way and his programs become law!
Nothing is free… even from the govt. As the old saying goes: A$$, GRA$$, or CA$H! You never get something for nothing and IF it sounds too good to be TRUE…. IT always is!

For those of you that live in lala land here is some insight that may help you come back to earth. Mr Obama promised more than he can deliver. Change is coming and you will feel it in your pockets soon.For Mr Obama, his victory honeymoon is going to hit a screech halt when he steps in and face the realities the Office of the President have to carry. He will come out of there hated ( like Bush) and a lot of gray hair ( like Bush ). The change comes from inside the people’s minds and heart. President LBJ ( Dem. ) became a tenacious fighter for Civil Rights, Welfare , Head Start , Peace Corps and much more and end up hated like no one for taken this country into a long and costly Vietnam War without a war declaration from Congress, based on a lie that a North Vietnamese attacked a US destroyer ( it never happened ). So like most Presidents the realities of this country and the world will take away the sweet taste of victory into a sour taste of failure on Mr Obama. There you have it !

Hate! That’s all I hear coming from you who’ve trashed Bush on here. Not one of you have the true scoop on what’s happened in the last 8 years. You all hate him because you’ve been told he’s stupid, a war-monger, an oil-driller… the key words here are, “you’ve been told”. What makes you think you know enough to judge our president? You sound no different than children calling the under dog on the playground a bunch of third-grade names. You only listen to one side of the story and align yourself with the enemies of our dear country. I’ve lived in one of our enemy countries in the last couple of years and you have no idea what you’re talking about if you support our enemy countries. They are all just as happy about the president-elect as you are. Though I didn’t vote for Obama I plan to respect him because he’ll be my leader as a U.S. citizen. I really think you should be showing our current president respect and stop being so intolerant of another human being.

Well, we will see just how poorly the Prsident ran the country once the “savior” Obama takes over. There is something wrong with the picture when the world cheers on a new president. Now they don’t have to fear the good ole USA anymore. I don’t know why all the belly-achers don’t just move to another country like rich Brad and Angelina. They don’t even live here anymore, but you can bet they have to stick their noses in our business and advise people how to vote. It’s a shame what our country has become. In 4 years, you can bet that people will be begging for a conservative,right-wing president to take over again.

Get used to it Redneck America the Liberal America is finally here….You Barack naysayers need to travel outside of the US to see the “real world”, a multi cultural world, one other than your conservative white boring as f*** safe haven. You are all fearful, ignorant creatures that spew hatred toward the new guy. I can’t wait for the Black agenda!!!!! Soul Train in the white house…..PS see how stupid you all sound…..

Can’t see Russia from my home… but I can be there in a matter of hours on my Falcon 7! ;-)

Can I ask everyone on here something? What are you hoping to accomplish with the back and forth arguing on a comment board about President Bush Getting Emotional Over White House Transition? Seriously. I pray this isn’t how you live your lives, just trying to win the argument of one’s personal ideology against another. I mean really, it’ll be 50 years into the future, and you’re gonna be talking to your grandkids saying things like “yes sirree, on those Internet comment boards I argued against everyone I didn’t agree with, and I told them a thing or two! I changed the world! And your grandkids are gonna look at you with pity, knowing you’ve wasted your life.
I suggest we talk less about the stalemated ideologies of Left/Right, Liberal/Conservative, Democrat/Republican, and talk more about the kind of people we all want to be, what kind of community we want, and what kind of world we want. And I bet we’ll find we have a lot more in common, and that we can actually work together to actually DO something constructive, rather than abuse the comment feature. Let’s show respect to President Bush AND to each other.

It is amazing that everyone who is bashing President Bush assumes everything they have been told by the media is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. None of us have been privy to the national debriefings by the NSA and CIA like President Bush. The information the President recieves in these meetings are not for the weak. They are high classified and if you were given the information the President is given you too would probably make the decisions he has had to make. The intelligence that was given to him about WMD was intelligence that the CIA, NSA, England, Canada, and other countries believed were true and accurate. Based on the intelligence presented to President Bush he made the best decision he could make for the country. Do not pride yourselves on calling him a murderer. We are at war. Lest we forget who was helping the Taliban…Iraq and Iran. Once President-elect Obama started receiving the briefings the President Bush was receiving Obama started changing his tune regarding Iraq. Sometimes the President has no option when he is given the information he is given. History will judge President Bush, not the liberals and conservatives right now in this moment.
Jimmy Carter was the worst President. Those of you bashing Bush probably do not remember the Carter years, rationing gas (not because of a natural disaster but because he was an awful president), the receision, the horrible leadership.

gregoreite:
That is most intelligent thing I’ve seen written on here all day!
Godspeed!

Yuck:
Never said anything against the Right… I am “The Right” You must have seen another post whereby they were calling me out as “red neck”
The name of the poster is at the bottom… not in the body!

I agree with the people who have made decent comments about President Bush. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion because it is a FREE COUNTRY, but until you’ve sat in that position yourself, as the President of the United States, maybe you should reflect on your comments and see if you could have done a better job. Maybe so, maybe not, but personally I respect anyone who has the guts to step up and take on that task, and at the same time, try to make everyone in our country happy…it’s impossible to do. Part of that happiness is our responsibility, not the President’s. I just thank God that I live in a country where we can decide who will be our president, and we have been doing that since 1789. God Bless America!

Yes Big Daddy,
you are right. We’ll all be in the same boat. We’ll all be just as poor as the next guy. You won’t be any richer. Don’t kid yourself. There is a reason people are trying to ESCAPE other socialist countries. You DON’T want America to change. You don’t really know what that means.

By the way, the correct term is “Commander IN Chief”, not AND. If you had ever served your country in the military, you would know that.

Interesting that people refer to Bush
as stupid. What does that say about people who enabled him(Iraq vote) like
Hillary Clinton,John Edwards,John Kerry,
Joe Biden?

Changing Masters will not set you free. Those who have hatred for one and piety for the other are to some degree slaves.
It is what led the world to where it is today.

Bush has totally messed up the country

Let’s not forget about the Democratic ran Congress that has a lower approval rating (18%)than Bush. Congress is what has messed up the country. The country was doing well until two years ago when the Democrats took control of Congress.

Good riddance to a terrible president. Good heart or not, leadership isn’t made on good intentions. George W. Bush is just about the most terrific presidential failure my generation has seen. The bar has been very much lowered for Obama.

Jwench,
everyone was happy or at least satisfied with the previous 6 years.

I find it amusing so many of you blame all our problems on one person. You are deceiving yourself if you think any one person could mess up so many things. Our economic problems are a result of a natural cycle along with certain laws and choices set in place by past presidents and legislation, including Carter and Clinton. A lot of people think Bush did what he did in Iraq for the oil. It seems rather silly to me that he’d do that and not ‘plant’ the nuclear weapons there to be found.
My opinion is Bush stood up for what he believed in. He tried to do what was right. That’s more than I can say for a lot of the past presidents who were wishy washy and political scum. I hate politicians who change their stance to match those of whoever their current audience is, just to gain acceptance. Bush stood up for what he believed in, and did the best damn job he could.
If our current status is anyone’s fault, it’s ours not his. It’s our fault for electing a bunch of wishy washy idiotic representatives to congress. We should have shut the door on the Saddam saga 20 years ago. We shouldn’t have been giving money to families that could not afford the loans. It was our own greed and pride that got us into this problem.
I laugh when I see people blame Bush for our problems. It’s like watching small children point fingers and blame others for their own failures and short comings.
Before this country can heal it’s wounds and fix it’s problems, the people of this great nation have to stand up and take responsibility. The status quo is our fault, not the presidents. When you blame Bush, you are just extending the problems.
The truth is, if I could vote for Bush for a 3rd term I would. I voted for McCain. I honestly think the less qualified person got voted in as the President Elect and it scares me to think of the horrible things Obama can do to our economy. My job supports the DoD and historically people in my field of work suffer when a Democratic president is elected. I fear for my health care. Socializing healthcare is a scary proposition to someone who already has good healthcare. I worked hard to get where I am and now it’s possible my healthcare will get worse so that the people who dropped out of highschool and went partying instead of studying are going to get better healthcare. I fear for all the children that may not survive because of legal abortions.
I will say this though. Obama is an amazing orator. I haven’t seen anything like that since JFK. Let’s all hope he’s not all talk and no show. I hope to god he doesn’t drive this country into the ground with socialism and dreams of utopia.

For those of you who think that Bush was the worst president ever, Obama has a surprise for you.

You contradict what you said earlier in your post.
“You are deceiving yourself if you think any one person could mess up so many things.”
The man is not even in office and people are already predicting he will be a failure. Give the guy a chance.

Susan ….. no one “forced” the Bush administration to go to war in Iraq except the BUSH ADMINISTRATION! Get a clue! (Or do you still believe Saddam was responsible for 9/11 and that he had Weapons of Mass Destruction?)

SARAH THINKS AFRICA IS A COUNTRY…..THEIR INSIDERS THOUGHT THEY WERE A BUNCH HILL BILLIES AND OBVIOUSLY SO DID THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

Bush is a greeday coward and should be tried for the war crimes and lies he told the American people.
Hey Bush i hear they are closing Guantanamo Bay…heard you are looking for a place to put your library..just a tought..

What war crimes!?

At least George won’t steal the “H’s” off the keyboards or take any of the furniture like slick willy did.
______________________
It was the W’s clueless.

Because of Bush and his botched war, and other controversies numero uno Iraq. 2006 and 2008 was open season on the GOP!

Lets see what Obama can do

J.V. – - – By your logic, then … President Clinton could not have been as “awful” as some on this page have been saying. And Bush, Sr. must be the one we should all be blaming! Is that your position?

If anything happens to Obama, there will be a civil war. Bet your life on it. Fortunately, security is better than it has ever been in presidential history but there is always a nut or two with an agenda looking for their 15 minutes.

Tendergroins – - – Such things should not be said … or even thought … in this environment! Have you seen the posts of some of the nut jobs on these pages? Please don’t give them ideas!

I am quite amazed at the flux of positive and negative commentary… the patient, respectful analysis of the right towards Obama and the vicious, spiteful words of hate towards Bush. Why did I ever serve 20 years in the military so scum like you could speak such drivel?

I remember the lead-up to the war in Iraq … the threats that Saddam had WMD’s ready to attack us with, the promises to hit Iraq with “Shock and Awe”, etc. What I DON’T remember is an OFFICIAL declaration of war. Can anyone help me out with that? Is that why the prisoners at Gitmo aren’t subject to the Geneva Conventions? Please explain this to me, if you can.

Well said! Are you here to make points or shoot your big mouths off!? What good is insulting an outgoing Leader?
Sorry about my typo

In case you haven’t noticed the headline mentions Bush. I bet you are going to tell me what a great job he has done.

This has truly been a historic election, However a one party-rule will not completly help the country’s problems.

I think most people dont realize how good Bush has been. Had Gore won in 2000, the US would have been governed by the UN after Sept 11, even if only temporary. and had Kerry won in 2004, Iraq would have fallen to terrorists and democracy would have failed there. People hate him, and wrongfully so. He really Helped the country out. Its too bad he has to go…and for a man who wants to spend through the roof no less

tendergroins – - – You are quite correct. However, seeing it in print might give the otherwise nebulous idea some semblence of reality and acceptability. I just don’t think it’s a good idea to solidify the dangerous thought processes of the fanatics. I do agree with your point, however.

Al Gore and John Kerry were not wanted.

All of u are morons if u think Obama is going to change this country, God have mercy on u and all of us, its going to be a long hopefully only 4 yrs of disaster for a man who has no business of being in the white House!!!!

Pay Back Time
Bush fabricated an excuse to go to war so his greedy friends could steal taxpayers dollars. Tens of thousands of mothers and fathers in America and Iraq have seen their innocent children killed. Bush ripped off America and put Americans in so much debt that it will take years to pay it off. And his phony war is still costing us $10 billion a month.
Around where I come from we put thieves in jail and make them pay back what they stole. Bush and his friends should be jailed and made to pay back all they stole.

We gave Bush a chance to do his best …. and we believed the falsehoods, (I won’t call them lies, because they MIGHT not have done it deliberately), that his administration fed us like pablum. We even gave him a SECOND chance, to hopefully fix the mistakes we had already discovered by then. Now, his terms are over. It is Obama’s turn to try to fix things. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt, (like we did for Bush), and see what happens. If he screws it up, we can always vote him out next time. In the meantime, let’s support our new President and give him a chance to prove himself … one way or the other. I don’t see how he could make the situation much worse … and he just MIGHT make things better. Time will tell.

I only wish Bush had not approved the bailout pass. Then the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac “oganizers” and “overseers” would be facing their accusers as they should.
Bush kept me safe on American soil for the past 7 years. I can only thank him for that.

“Bush kept me safe on American soil for the past 7 years. I can only thank him for that.”
Many have blamed Clinton for 9/11 because they claim that al Qaeda was plotting and planning “right under his nose”. What makes you think they haven’t been plotting and planning right under Bush’s nose too? Those people BELIEVE that “one thousand years is not too long to wait for revenge”. I don’t think we can give Bush credit for our “safety”, any more than we can really blame Clinton for 9/11. We’ll have to wait and see WHEN and WHERE they decide to attack us next. Don’t forget, Osama bin Laden is STILL out there.

President Bush is just another puppet in a long line- please take a look at this and remember how it all began.

Some far left dem .need to be fair with President Bush,he is a great leader of our country ,look at 9/11/01. He is a lot of better than Clinton and Carter ! you should enjoy with your new elected-president! do not point your finger to another. some of you have “small mind, crazy thought and rotten hearts”.You got what you wish already why you are still bitten about? some my black co- workers said ater Obama win:” Obama will make White house became Black house” after January 20th…

I seriously doubt that statement.

lu – - – If you have been in America long enough to remember Pres. Carter, you should have a better grasp of the English language by now. If not, you probably shouldn’t comment on things you don’t really know about. Carter was faced with unbelievable obstacles, particularly the “hostage crisis in Iran”. He made mistakes, but he has redeamed himself since as a Senior Statesman around the world.

All authority is placed there by God. He is the one who allows good leaders and bad leaders. We are instructed to pray for our leaders so that we can live good and peaceful lives.
God allowed both men to be elected to be in this place of authority. He chose them for HIS purposes.
It should not be this anger and bitterness against mere men who need guidance from a Holy God, the ONE who is really in charge of all things.
I prayed for President Bush and I will pray for President Obama. I hope you all will do the same.
Stop this silly divisive talk. It is empty chatter with no meaning.

Diane,
“JIMMY CARTER WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!”
Jimmy Carter said we needed to conserve energy and find alternatives to middleeastern oil. Reagan said he was a loon and all he needed to do was tell the Saudi’s to increase production.
At the time we were importing roughly 20 someodd % of our oil,,, now we are importing 70 someodd %.
Then he just redistributed wealth with Defense contracts and ran the debt up.
1980 was a wrong turn and we are just seeing the effects of it now.

Chris@PDX – - – Thank you! I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one here who REMEMBERS the TRUTH! Well said.

Randy, please: let’s be honest. There is plenty of that (intolerance toward people who hold different views) to go around on both sides of the political spectrum. No party has a monopoly on that.
There will always be tolerant and intolerant people on both sides, let’s not pretend that’s not the case. That’s just disingenuous.

President George W. Bush will have a memorable library in a broken down 1958 Bookmobile filled with comic books parked in Crawford, Texas… where ever the heck that is…

Absolutely, but I do not recall ever seeing the amount of pure “Hate” that people have shown towards Pres. Bush. Mostly starting with people in congress allowing it and not showing respect for the office. Unfortunate that people now feel its okay to openly insult “our” President the way they do. Never was done before, and I am not sure why its okay now. This is part of the reason the rest of the world thinks its okay to call our president names and openly insult him. Used to be Politics ended at the waters edge, but no more. Who is to blame for that????

like him or not for his decisions
SHOW SOME RESPECT, HE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
always remember, you are not forced to live here and can leave any time if you dont like it.
you idiots wishing bad things or death to him are an insult to this country.
I DID NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA BUT I NEVER WOULD DISRESPECT HIM LIKE SOME OF YOU HERE HAVE DONE TO OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT.

Taking a cue from “Concerned American” – Respect is earned, not given simply because of where one sits. Obama lost most peoples respect long ago (by associating w/ a known terrorist, a known racist, by saying “a white man’s greed runs a world in need,” by stating that “spreading the wealth around” is good, by stating that he “chose his friends wisely” and stating that those friends were “Marxist” etc, etc). He has shown poor judgment, a monochromatic view of the world indicating a simple mind unable to deal with complexities, and an inability to do his primary job, uphold the laws of the land.

America and much of the rest of the world is relieved that Bush and the likes of him might finally be gone. Their ideology and use of fear, terror, poor judgment of deregulation and organized religion in their efforts to create an imperial US presidency has cause tremendous suffering around the world. The Bush legacy will be considered the worst president and administration in America’s history. It will take many years to try and reverse the damage these individuals have caused. As for Bush being a “Good Man” this might be true depending on one’s point or reference, reality is Bush lacks the qualities of human greatness required of a great leader and a great American president.

rapunzel–I agree that much of the world is relieved that we have a new President, and I also believe that having people here and abroad feeling positive about our President is in itself a great thing. I also am very happy that his election is an especially moving and symbolic example and source of pride for non-whites the world over.
However, though as I’ve said, our citizenry is fairly ignorant and not even close, on average, to being as bright as most of our Presidents, I don’t believe that people ABROAD have even risen to that level, so what they think isn’t necessarily an indicator of how a President should act.
As an example, if Churchill, who was warning about Hitler prior to WWII, had been Prime Minister and not Chamberlain, perhaps Germany’s rearmament would have been stopped by a British-led European mini invasion. That invasion would have cost lives; it would have destroyed infrastructure; it would have caused the Germans to really hate the invaders; and it might not have been a permanent solution. It could have led to all kinds of painful problems. Without doubt, Churchill would have been assailed by critics who could point at all the negatives resulting from his temporary invasion. Churchill, on the other hand, would have been unable to point to anything concrete, only his conviction that the invasion was necessary to prevent later tragedy and loss of life. There’s no way to convincingly point at evidence which shows what “would have happened.”
Well, in real history, unfortunately, Chamberlain was Prime Minister and he wanted peace at any cost. The other European leaders, who also knew early on that Germany was violating the Treaty of Versailles, which forbade Germany rearming, chose the peaceful, safe, route and did nothing–EVEN THOUGH it would have been ridiculously easy to stop that rearming early on and fully justified by the treaty Germany had signed (just like Saddam).
So, thanks to popular, peace-loving, do-nothing leaders, 100 million people died, most of whom weren’t even soldiers.
Leaders who play it safe, never making unpopular decisions, always being “for” the good things–peace, helping the poor, mom and apple pie–they are easy to love, but they can eventually get you killed if they don’t also have the realistic instincts to act when it’s necessary.
Bush’s legacy won’t be determined until the chapter of history on global terrorism and religious fanatic jihads is finished. When it’s finished, Bush could be remembered like Churchill, but hampered by a lack of support in Congress, the media, and the citizenry in doing the necessary things; or, he could be seen as overreacting and a poor President. One thing is for certain, Rapunzel–YOU don’t know the answer. For now, he should be respected for doing what he believed was necessary and given the benefit of the doubt.

PRESIDENT BUSH WILL GO THROUGH HISTORY AS ONE OF THE GREATEST PRESIDENTS OF UNITED STATES AND ONE OF THE GREATEST LEADERS OF THE WORLD. MARK MY WORD!!!!

I will enjoy my time in heaven thanking President Bush for keeping the country safe and serving the office with dignity and character. As to all of you filled with vitriol and hate towards him and classless attacks….YOU will be the ones with places reserved in the bowels of HELL…have a great eternity there.

I will miss President Bush. I feel sorry that the media has decided to trash this guy. I don’t agree with everything he has done, but he is a good man with a good heart and has protected us since 9/11. I wish President-elect Obama the best but also know that in time President Bush will be remembered as a great president during very difficult time. God speed.

50 years from now, Bush will be looked upon as Winston Churchill is now. He stayed the course, even when it was not popular, and like him or not, we have not had another 9/11 since 9/11. I only hope in 4 years we can still say the same thing. Hopefully since we are stuck with him, O will be better than the last two Dem Presidents, a Peanut Farmer and a chronic Liar.
Keep in mind Bush has been one of the most criticized Presidents in history, yet he stayed the course. Its funny that liberals are already whining about “equal time” for leftist talk shows to match up with conservative ones. One critical comment about their BS and they cry, cry, cry. They were smart to pick O, he talks a good game, but in two years I have a feeling there will be a Republican majority in Congress again after the true art of lies, mismanagement, and ignorance present themselves in a Democrat controlled government.
God Bless President Bush and those who have served under him. If you don’t like me or others showing our support for our President, go lobby for legislation to ban it. I am sure that is coming anyway……..

WHILE WE CAN NOT BUT ACCEPT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE SINCE WE HAVE A DEMOCRATIC NATION, THIS ELECTION PROVED SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO OVERHAUL THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF THIS NATION, IT IS NO DOUBT DETERIORATING TO ITS LOWEST LEVEL. AND NO DOUBT IT IS HAPPENING BECAUSE WE REMOVED MANY THINGS IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE OUR MINDS AND OUR HEARTS. WE REMOVED THEOLOGY / RELIGION FROM CURRICULUM BY VIRTUE OF SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE AND WE SEE PEOPLE WHO SPOKE THEIR SHALLOW VOICES.A LOT OF PEOPLE VOTED MORE FOR GOOD ECONOMY THAN PRINCIPLES, BELIEVING THAT IT IS THE GOVERNMENT JOB TO IMPROVE THEIR PLIGHT WHICH IS FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH. SOME PEOPLE LIKE A BAMBOO SWAYED TO THE DANCE OF “FAMOUS PEOPLE” THINKING THAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE A BETTER BRAIN THAN THEM WHEN IN FACT, THESE PEOPLE ARE SHALLOW PEOPLE TOO. SOME ALSO GOT FOOLED BY THE LIBERAL MEDIA, THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES. A LOT TOO MAY NOT HAVE EVEN TAKEN HISTORY SUBJECTS. IT IS REALLY A SAD FACT THAT AMERICA WHICH IS THE BEST NATION WOULD NOT CONFRONT THIS PROBLEM NOW. I DO NOT KNOW IF PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA WOULD TRY TO CONFRONT AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS OBAMA HIMSELF TOO IS SUFFERING FROM IGNORANCE ESPECIALLY IN THE MATTER OF PRINCIPLES OF LIFE. TO THIS DAY HE IS STILL IN DENIAL THAT WITHIN THE WOMB OF A PREGNANT WOMAN LIES A REAL HUMAN BEING AND NOT BLOB OF TISSUES.

It is sad that everyone forgets that Bush inherited Clinton’s mess. He had to deal with 9/11 and the aftermath. Yeah! he made mistakes. Yet, I also do not see any more terrorists attacks after 9/11 something that if Clinton would have handle instead of Monica it wouldn’t have happened. Yes, I hope Obama does well, but I also hope that in four years you all are not again saying what a horrible president he was. We forget the good and only remember the bad.

The Bush administration thrived on a “them vs. us” mentality that has caused great friction in this country and with other countries. Because of the Bush administration, people have been forced into blue and red categories when many of us are truly a blend of both. Because of the Bush adminstration, people are mean and judgemental about other people’s beliefs. Also under the Bush administration, the amount of people in poverty grew each year, the gap between the “Haves” and the “Have Nots” is the largest since the Roaring 20s (which as we all know proceeded the Great Depression, the average life span of Americans has decreased (mostly because of lack of access to affordable health care) and the difference between the highest and the lowest paid employees is at an all time high. Yes, the Bush administration attempted to avenge 9/11 and has prevented another attack on our soil, but at what cost?

Dear e …. Yes, it is very sad that people forget what Bush inherited from Clinton … Like a budget surplus … like a nation respected around the world …. like allies who would back us up when we needed them …. oh, yes, and maybe a few stains on the carpet in the Oval Office. What a TERRIBLE inheritance!

Oh, yeah. I almost forgot the other thing that Bush inherited from Clinton, (that Clinton inherited from Bush, Sr.) …… a really disfunctional intelligence community. Now, THAT really was a crappy inheritance!

Why is life so sacred ONLY before it gets born? Why isn’t the endangered life of the mother sacred? Why isn’t the life of the cold, hungry, homeless child sacred? Why aren’t the lives of soldiers and war-torn civilians sacred? These are the things I NEVER understand about the Right to Life bunch. Why do you stop caring about human life as soon as it REALLY starts?

This country is in “Grave” danger from the election of Obama. The fools that voted for Obama have no clue what is in the works for them. After looking at a majority of the fools in the park that night when Obama gave his speech, they were 75% or more college kids. Those are the fools Obama paid to vote for him. Now, the voters have spoken; just don’t cry when we get attacked as Joe Biden said in his speech as the next V.P. to Obama. Biden said, within the first 6 months, this country will be tested. That means attacked and Russia has already started. You fools that voted for Obama, the hurt that will come to you and your families will be tem times that of 911. The next attack on this country will be swift and you won’t even know its happening. You voted for Obama not even knowing the man. You will see how much of a man he really is if this country is attacked like his V.P. elect, Joe Biden, said in a news conference. What I want from Obama is very simple, in his speeches throughout his debates, he said that if elected, he will spread the wealth. When am I going to get my first check? He is living in a million dollar house right now and the state he grew up in, Chicago is a dump. Why hasn’t he fixed Chicago all these years? His half brother living on one dollar a month, where is his “spread the wealth”? Wouldn’t you think he would take care of family? Obama is a dirty fraud! mark my words, who ever voted for him, if this country gets attacked like Joe Biden said it would, don’t start blaming President Bush! You can go cry to your family and friends for being pretty talked by a fraud, Obama and Biden!

Matt S and Scott:
Must be nice to know everything and be so sure about yourselves. I am sure that if Bush were surrounded by a mob and a man asked that whoever was without sin throw the first rock, you guys would step up. The more certain you are that Bush and Cheney are the sons of Satan and that you are infallible, the more it’s obvious you’re unbalanced, immature, and astounding hypocrites. My God, how do people like you make it through life? And why do you bother?

Oh God, you Bush lovers make me sick! For one thing, most of the people were not college kids as you would have us believe. Yes, we had a lot of kids vote and I am very happy for that. We have a new generation voting. What the Hell is wrong with that? You are the type that sits back and complains about the kids not doing a thing but playing video games and smoking pot. Sorry, but they woke up to the lies of the right and how the bible thumpers were controlling the right wing. Good Bye Bush and dont let the door hit you on your way out. To bad Obama has class and wont put you in prison were he belongs. I was a republican, but I woke up half way through his first term…… Go away and let America fly again. For the record, I am a 42 year old white male who was very proud of my vote for change!

Don’t worry about all the Bush Bashers, half of them don’t have enough intellect to know a good decision from a bad one. Here’s one thing for sure–Less than a year after Obama moves into the White House, it will be the Bush Bashers who will be crying the loudest. And before the Obama term is up, the country will be wishing they voted for McCain. President Bush stood strong for what was right and moral—one of the many things the Bush Bashers don’t have the back bone to do. President Bush did have and always will have a good heart. Thank God we had him for 8 years. But you Obamanation nuts wanted change. I hope you remember how much you wanted change when it starts to affect your finances and your freedom. You might want to educate yourselves a bit on the definition of socialism.

They know where it’s coming from. From the north south east and west. God, no wonder Rush is on drugs, having to talk to these kooks all day long! Nothing but a bunch of racist fools. Damn red neck assholes!

Andrea Caruso, We shall see. Read your Bible and go to bed. Youll need the rest. It’s a long trip to Hell.

Andrea Caruso – - – Aren’t you the songbird? If YOU had done some research, you would know that your accusations were proven false some time ago. Please stop calling people nasty names just because they don’t happen to ascribe to your theories. (That means they don’t agree with your cockamamie ideas, in case you didn’t understand the vocabulary.) You don’t know as much as you THINK you do. But, with luck, you will learn over the next 4 years. We will ALL have to wait to see what develops and how the new administration will handle it. NO ONE comes to the office of POTUS with prior experience. They all have to learn as they go along. Some do, and some don’t. Just like people on these boards.

By the way, the 2 people they caught wanting to shoot Obama were ass stupid as a rock. Thats the KKK for ya!

A.C. **** Now you have gone TOO far! Have a LITTLE respect for the dead! You are uneducated and a raving bigot. If the “attack” on America comes, YOU will be blown up by it, too! You call others “fools”, but my dear, departed Grandmother passed down some advice that would serve you well. “It is better to remain silent, and be THOUGHT a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt”. Good night and good luck! YOU are going to need it!
ps. – the word is “damned” fool, not “dam” fool. A dam is a structure to hold back water. FOOL!

Well, it’s getting late and I’m getting bored now that the “Dam Fool”, (Andrea Caruso), has taken a hike! Good night to all! Sweet dreams! See ya!

Some comments in here are really disrespectful and frankly it is quite sad. By no means am I a Bush sympathizer. I voted for Bush in 2000 and Kerry in 2004. How can someone possibly say they hope Bush rots in hell? Regardless of your politics we are all Americans and the President should be respected by all Americans. You don’t have to agree with the man but you should respect the office. As far as his presidential ranking, only time will tell. The Bush legacy will be determined by events in the Middle East. Both parties are responsible for events that have occurred in this country. America needs a strong third party and Politicians who put country before their self interests.

Thank you Mr President for keeping us safe all these years after 9-11. that was your number one job adn you did it exceptionally. No one on earth expected us to even go 1 year afterwards without an attack, but as you keep the terrorists on the run, they were too busy to hatch up any long term drastic US plans (like they did with Clinton in charge).
History will remember you well, President Bush, long after the liberal media has died out and faded away. You opened up china too and kept Russia in check. God help us now.

I have always believed that our country’s problems were not to be blamed on President Bush. I think he has done a fine job and many folks should realize that there are more folks involved in making decisions for this country then just the President. This includes the democrats and republicans in the House, Senate etc… He has done a good job and I am proud he has been my President. He will be missed at the oval office. Best wishes to him and his family.

Message to Mark:
Just FYI – I am not hiding any HORRIFIC crimes in my closet as you so elequently state in your message. I am an average person at an average job and pays my bills. I am also smart enough to know that you can’t blame everything on President Bush. Did you not get enough hugs as a kid??????

“We face economic challenges that will not pause to let a new president settle in. This will also be America’s first wartime presidential transition in four decades,”
All thanks to you, you piece of garbage.

Thank heavens, the moron is finally leaving office. Good riddance!!!
I hope he and Cheney are prosecuted for war crimes and other crimes and offences against the nation and the people. They should not be allowed to hide behind the fact of his previous presidency and to get away scott free. An example needs to be made of them, as a lesson to future aspiring morons and would-be-tyrannts.

Despite the unfortunate and dismal outcome of the current administration, we’ve casted our ballots, we need a united front to overcome the current situation and prevail. Let’s not forget the post 9/11 sentiment of how united we were.

What a hypocrite! He did not get emotional for the 1 million americans losing their jobs and the countless number of people facing foreclosures daily, without the hope of finding a job or a place to live! He is not emotional about the countless number of lives lost by the Iraq war. Evict him now!

Still 2 months to impeach…

It amazes me how quick people are to think that one man (i.e. the president) has complete control to steer the country into the situation we find ourselves. He is the leader of the free world, and it is his responsibility to lead this country, but he doesn’t do it alone. Watch an episode of School House Rock and even a child knows that one person does not make the decisions for the entire country on their own. Bush has done some pretty stupid things, as presidents before him have, he has deceived people in attempts to pursue his own agenda. It is pretty hard for one person to guide the country to create our current situation in only 8 years…last time I checked many economist attribute the current housing market crisis to policies/practices implemented during the Clinton administration.
Don’t get me wrong, I think he unfortuantely created a fear within society that has caused the public to lose faith, but I also think many presidents before him have done the same at one point in time or another. Before you go pointing the finger at the one person who holds the top spot…keep in mind, like in business, there is a board (i.e. congress) that has a heavy hand in making/controlling the decisions and direction for this country, one man cannot do it alone. It’s that whole checks and balances thing.

Worst President of all times. May GOD have mercy upon your soul.

Thank you Pres. Bush. You have made mistakes, but don’t we all…You made me feel protected after 9/11. Today I’m better off than I was 8 years ago. Times have been hard, but history is full of hard times. The war has been hell, but you tried to make the world a better place. I do hope it’s done 7 over real soon. I have friends in our forces over in Iraq & they are proud of the work they have done to help those people. You are not a king or god, you are human. Too bad people can’t remember that…also too bad people can’t remember that we have people in DC who are too busy playing a power game, instead of being busy passing bills & so forth. The problems going on in this country sit on many shoulders not just on one. God Bless & keep this country

Concerned American you must be kidding aren’t you? A great President? DENILE is not a river in Egypt you know. This poor excuse for human being much less a president, is by far The Worst and Dumbmest president this nation has EVER seen and hopefully will ever see again!
I wish that there be a way to deny him his pension as a past President he did not earn a penny of it. If he were a man and a good American he would turn it down given the caos and meltdown he has put our country in. Just like his FATHER another GEM!

DeWayne Jackson, I totally agree, well said.

I am sick of reading all of this ignorance. Does no one realize that the $700B bailout package was only approved because of the Democrats. Over 60% of all Republicans voted it down. Over 60% of all Democrats approved it.
For once will a Democrat take some responsibility.

I personally think that -
- We should not use derogatory language for any president, be it Bush or any other president. It is one thing to have anger or frustration and it is another thing to insult the president. How will the world respect the president of the US, if the American people don’t?
- America re-elected him for the second term. If people did not like his way of handling things, they had a very good chance to get someone else to run the office and lead the country.
I have supported now president-elect Obama and if for any reason if he is not able to keep his promises, I will feel frustrated but that will not give me the right to use bad words for him. In fact, I feel, among all the candidates Obama was the only one using right words to describe failed policies of the Bush administration. That shows culture.

To TJ who says that President Bush “destroyed the fabric of society”, tortured “innocent” people, “spied” on innocent people; etc. etc.: I don’t know what fabric you are talking about, Slugger, as far as I can see people are still falling in love, getting married, having children, going to school, going to baseball games, eating their minds out, listening to rap, and are proud to be an American…I mean, you are soooo Michale Moore. As for torturing “innocent” people, Oh my God, dude, zip it. Unless you work for the CIA in the Middle East or the military in Guantanamo or Iraq, your conclusions do not have no bearing at all. You know nothing about any one of these “innocents”. Nor do you know how highly secret intelligence programs really work so bury your “innocent” civilians chatter, too. You and your family have been kept alive by President Bush for 7 years. No terrorist has been in your midst exploding his guts out just to kill you. No missile has been fired into your work place, nor have your children’s school been taken over by terrorists like in Russia a few years back. You should at least be grateful to this decent man for all of that. Alas, I have only tried to educate you.
I hope your irrational hatred does not get in the way.

Fortunately Bush is gone forever. All right wing fanatics can lie about how “great” he was or that he was some kind of victim of circumstances or other such blather, but the main fact is Bush is gone and there is nothing the necons can do about it except rant on history’s judgment or that war and economic theft was necessary or any other wild ideas they desire. The majority of americans have chosen a different course and the relief from Bush’s departure is palpable.

“Good thing most historians don’t have such a revisionist mindset and instead base history on facts”
Fact: We have not been attacked since 9/11/01. Who would have thought we could have avoided that?

President Bush did the best he could with what was handed to him. How would you have handled what he has faced? I say he and his team are to be commended for delaying the economic meltdown. This was ready to happen after 9/11 but he did things to secure not only our physical safety but also our economic stability. The media is already starting to turn on Obama, they have to sell ad space and sadly negative sells.

Thank you President Bush. With all your failings you truly put Country First.

i cannot understand why so many americans can say that Fox news is the devil when they watch that idoit Keith Obernman and believe every word that comes out of his mouth, that man is a fool and does not know it.
i pray that president Obama is a good president (even thought i did not vote for him) and that he does the right things for ALL americans.

I’m with Concerned American—those who think otherwise—careful what you wish for…

Any idea how many people the oil industry employs? That’s great, take away investment monies from private business and hand out welfare checks to incompetents who can’t take care of themselves. Can you see past the next three minutes?
Moron.

Right after 9/11, George W. Bush led this country ably… He brought the war to the terrorists which in effect stopped the terrorist from bringing the war to the U.S. of A. Reading people’s comments here shows me that most don’t understand how the Executive (President) and the Legislative (Congress) branches function. It also shows me that most are ignorant about the economic situation we’re in right now — that it wasn’t the President’s fault, but the greed of Corporations and its executives… these Corporations thought they can make money by lending to those that can’t afford, and just let whoever last touches it, hold the empty bag… it backfired… and now the economy’s in turmoil and it’s being blamed on no other than our good President, George W. Bush…. Mr. President, more power to you sir!!!

EMALQ,
If you going to chime in with your 2 bits, talk in english. No child left behind……. Good one, Mr. Bush.LOL

I will miss you Pres. Bush!. You did a great job. I know you did the best you could. Some people didn’t listin in school when the teacher explained how our government works. Thats a shame..I’d like to know who keeps the polls for approval ratings? I’ve never been asked my thought on if Bush was doing a good job, i would have voted YES. Everything wasn’t perfect & I don’t agree with the bail out. BUT he didn’t pass it. Perfect example of how things work in DC. DC does not care about the people of this country, unless you are giving them a fat check

OMG, – I have 2 kids in high school right now & guess what they both took government class & passed. My 2 kids know more than you. After no child left behind! Which I think was a great idea!

Yes your better off than I am. I make less than $40,000. I have to older parents, but I will not put the blame of the mess on one mans shoulders. It belongs on all the crazy people in DC.

Hello Lisa,
Here’s what I will and will not mind:
I won’t mind if you “bash” President Obama for making decisions that you don’t agree with, or that you think were mistakes. Especially if you also tell us why you think so.
I will mind if you repeat every Rush or GOP Talking Point of the day, even after it has been discredited. I will mind if you resort to name-calling and slander, unrelated to any specific thing that Obama says or does.
Given that you are already calling the majority of American voters “commie-liberals,” I expect that we won’t be hearing very much considered disagreements from you. I expect that your posts will be baseless rants like the last one.
BTW- I expect that you are a Conservative. Until Reagan came along, the word Liberal was the common counterpart to Conservative. There is and was never anything wrong or controversial with being a Liberal.
To paraphrase Bono, Reagan stole the word Liberal. We are going to steal it back.

I thought Michells dress on election night was dirt ugly.

boy you people have a short memory, maybe if all americans would have gotten envolved after 9/11 just like americans did in december 1941, we would be in such a mess, by the way didn’t the democrats have a big change when they came into the senate and house in 2006?, if this is the change coming I can’t afford it anymore

Ok bitter Obama haters – don’t forget that wishing Obama a bad time in office is tantamount to wishing America down the tubes. Still call yourselves patriots? Let’s see it now.

There is a real revolution coming in this country……..and the list of traitors who have it coming just got a bit longer…..that is all that has happened here. Peace for now.

“the man…deserves respect we would give any human being”.
I think that’s the issue. I would not expect respect for any individual in leadership, whatever the politics, from many of the people posting on this thread, because I don’t see respect for any human being who disagrees with the poster.
It would be interesting to count the negative adjectives used in these posts, and see what percentage are used to describe other posters–I would bet that the vitriolic comments are aimed as frequently at fellow posters as they are at presidents or presidential candidates.
I think it’s possible to vigorously debate contoversial issues and at the same time treat those we are talking to and about as valuable individuals who are worthy of respect because they are human. I think it possible to give them the benefit of the doubt as to motives even when we think they are so dangerously wrong that we are prepared to significantly invest in opposing their beleifs and policies.
I think it’s called civility.
i am having a hard time finding it.

It is so funny to see what all these die-hard bushbots are writing….GW Bush is a complete failure. He has bankrupted everything he has ever touched…..from the oil companies, to baseball teams, to our own country. He is truely a piece of work!! George Bush and the republican party has done more damage to this country than all the terrorist nations combined. Now is the time for CHANGE and for PROSPERITY….GET USED TO IT BUSHBOTS !!
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN AND YOU AND YOUR AWOL CHEER LEADER HAVE BEEN DUMPED !!!

I’m not even going to pay any attention to all of the “patriot” “comnnunist” etc. garbage.
But this talk about the “Democratic Congress” since 2006, and blaming pretty much anything on Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi is such easily-debunkable… bunk.
Yes, it is true that the Democrats have had a majority in the House since 2006. But for the 6 years before that, the Republicans, Bush’s party, had an absolute lock on the House. That lock was enforced by Tom “The Hammer” DeLay, whose hyper-partisan and eventually illegal tactics have left him out of office and under indictment.
The 2006 election also gave the Democrats a 1-vote majority in the Senate, and that counting Joe the Lieberman. The Republican Senate leadership has taken a very different view of the 60-vote cloture requirement, since becoming the minority party. So having a shaky 1 vote majority in the Senate has not been very useful under a Republican administration.
Can someone name pretty much anything that Pelosi or Reid have done to add to our current woes with the economy or our two wars?

Thank you for keeping our country SAFE for the past 7 years. God Bless you George W. Bush.

…
“Thank you for keeping our country SAFE for the past 7 years. God Bless you George W. Bush.”
,,,,
Did you mean:
“Thank you for ignoring the Presidential Daily Breifing of August 6, 2001, whose TITLE was “Osama bin Laden Determined to Strike Within the US,” and which went on to describe his likely targets and weapons, both with what turned out to be deadly accuracy. Your callous and flippant disregard for this and previous warnings along the same lines allowed the 9/11 tragedy to happen. That in turn allowed you to con us into attacking the unrelated nation of Iraq. And the combination of the ensuing War On Terror and Occupation of Iraq allowed you to run for re-election as a “War President, and to keep us all too afraid to consider changing parties for a few elections.”
Is that what you meant to thank George W Bush for?

I agree, Bush has always done his best. He is really deep down a good man and has shown he cares for America.

The letter of thanks to Pres. Bush is awesome, I cannot fathom why society doesn’t look through history and see what builds nations and tears them apart.
Only God builds nations.
“My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God’s side, for God is always right.”
Abraham Lincoln
What happened here, is Oprah got in a rush and didn’t wait for Gods timing as with alot of people, alot of african-americans did not vote for Obama.
America has alot of evil and garbage being practiced, and they voted in not a man, but a belief, value and moral that they believe in, if Obama would take a moment to read the Word he would realise how far his beliefs are from Gods. Until then this nation could go out like the Aztecs.

Bush’s leagacy will soon be left to historians to debate. The rest of us are happy just to move beyond it. I think his emotion response is because he’s relieved to walk away from a job he knows he screwed up badly. Sorry, but I don’t feel much pity. Bush was inspiring durning 9/11. It went down hill from there.

Once again,
A month before September 11, Bush was handed an intelligence briefing entitled “Osama bin Laden Determined to Strike Within the US,” that mentioned the possibility of terrorists flying hijacked airliners into US landmarks.
His response was “OK, you’ve covered your ass.”
That’s it.
Bush DID NOT protect us from 9/11.
Bush LET IT HAPPEN, and like most of his other tragic blunders, we can only guess if it was by design or due to his own stupidity.

I think Bush has been demonized by much of the country. Political figures end up becoming characatures when they are just human beings. He is a good man and did his best. He was just over his head. It’s the majority of American’s fault for voting him into office. YOU (those who voted for him) are the one’s who were too stupid to see that he was not presidential material.
I do not think he deserves the horrible things said about him, although I never voted for him. The WORST president ever? Come on! Remember Nixon? Resigned in humiliation? Remember how Clinton was made a global fool of for the sex scandal? Give up the negative crap! Show some compassion! If you don’t approve of the job Bush did, then don’t vote for him. But Stop Bashing! Or do you think debasing others makes you better than them? It doesn’t!!!
All the Best to President Bush and his family. I wish you well.

For all the people in the world who want something for nothing. You have think you have your Victory! The fundamental right of ownership and the true product of the mind: Individuality, have been greatly upset. The true greatness of the American way of life has always been and will always be measured by the individuals desire to be completely self accountble and ones fervent desire to promote these principles to his associates. To those of you looking for your hand out, desiring to be like the rest of the world (God for bid), I tip my hat to your victory. For the rest who truly desire to live by the sweat of their own brow, and maintain stewardship of that product, I moarn for yor deepend struggle to be truly free. Either canidate would have been a loss, I am sorrowful that in our day in time and apparantly as history has shown will continue to be left to choose the lesser of the two evils.

I’m only 27 so I didn’t see first hand the presidencies of the past but I would say bush is the 2nd worst pres ever. Even repsected journalists who know these people first hand (Bob Woodward) has said there was never a criminal element in the White House with Bush only Nixon. I think we can all agree though that Bush was our most unintelligent presient ever. It showed in his cabinet and judge slections, VP choice, Iraq War, education policy, nothing on environmental policy at all- infact an across the board ban on science. He has been horrible. I am coming to the realization that people with extreme ideoligical beliefs shouldn’t be in office becuase those beliefs heavily influence actions and decisions.
This is the first election in my lifetime that had been won by my voting class. 18-28 year olds won this election. Not just by votes but by talking our parents, grandparents, families, friends, anyone who wold listen to vote Obama. I’m personally pround that I got my 90 year old republican grandpa to vote democrat for the first time in his life. Obama had proven that throughout his campaign(the best run campagin ever) that he is an intelligent, a serebral decision maker who understands how to prioritize and accomplish his tasks. Also, love the people mentioned for an emegrency financial committee. No doubt we’ve dug oursleves in a massive hole and there is no easy short term fix but with Obama I have hope we will be better off in 4, hopefully 8 years.
It’s time to invest in education, wind energy, natural gas, health care and infastructure or as a nation we will keep going down the same path were on.

Bush..a great President..thats kept you worhtless Americans safe..to bad all of you who speak badly of him were not all cramed into the twin towers on 9/11

Way to go Mark!! Totally agree with everything you said. Also, can we come up with a way to mark all the doors of the anti-war crowd here at home so that when the terrorists DO come to America, our fine men and women of the armed forces can pass by your homes and let you defend YOURSELVES!!! Maybe a big YELLOW ribbon would be appropriate.

I hate to see that Obama is buttering up to the Zionists. It was not enough that he selected Joe Biden, a notorious pro-Israeli proponent as his running mate. It is also the fact that he saw fit to name as his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel. This man is so in love with Israel that it”s hard to believe he”s not Iraeli.

“Bush Gets Emotional Over White House Transition”
He should have felt that emotion before he sent our brave troops off to die in a war that America didn’t have to start.

I think Bush has been demonized by much of the country. Political figures end up becoming characatures when they are just human beings. He is a good man and did his best. He was just over his head. It’s the majority of American’s fault for voting him into office. YOU (those who voted for him) are the one’s who were too stupid to see that he was not presidential material.

All the Best to President Bush and his family. I wish you well.
