Seriously, I think he has brain damage. What he said was decent enough, but, listen to his speech pattern. It is slurred like a drunk. I almost feel bad for the evil bastard.,

Yawn. Turned it off after 55 seconds. I want my upvote back.

>> ^vaporlock:It is slurred like a drunk.

That's what it sounds like when you try to speak while chewing on crow.

Thanks mintbbb, I wanted to know what he had to say about the whole thing.

Looks, and sounds, like he's preparing for his administration's funeral.

Bush is doing the best thing he has ever done while in the Whitehouse... leaving it.

Can he even walk the streets again? What will he do now? He's got a date with a chainsaw and some brush-clearing down in Crawford.

Karl Rove, 'Bush's Brain' is now a celebrity pundit on Fox News.

Fox News is gonna start firing up the christian base, just you wait and see. They're gonna wind up the hatred and play to the blatant racism that they know is there, they'll take to the streets with crosses, holy water and shotguns.

I hope you're wrong, Irishman, but I can visualise it.

Is that the plan? Keep on blaming Bush and Fox News when the Obamessiah and his merry band of kleptocrats start their hi-jinx?

As you will soon discover: the sales pitch used to sell the clunker won't keep it running.

^too bad you weren't this skeptical and cynical about Bush's administration and his policies before he trashed our government, economy, environment and general standing in the world. I find it hard to take you serious, it's as if you haven't been paying attention to what's happened in the last 8 years and are only concerned with leaving posts that sound more and more delusional instead of rational.

come on bush, declare martial law. you know you want to. give the people a chance to put their fists where their mouth is.

That's the first speech of his that seemed agreeable. He's done horrible stuff but it's hard not to feel a little sad for him at the same time.

"Laura and I extended an invitation to President-Elect Obama and his wife to come visit us in the White House. After we lock up all the silver and nail down anything stealable. Them people'll steal anything that ain't nailed down, yanno. I think it's genetic. Did I mention he's black? You people elected a black person! Dick Cheney is going to kill all you people in your sleep. He can do it, too -- he's a vampire, a goddamn unholy blood-sucking vampire! Screw it, I'm launching the nukes. Jesus, here I come!"

Did I see Quantumshroom speaking up in a -negative- fashion against the *President Elect*?

Oh my goodness! He must be Un-American and Un-Patriotic, because ALL GOOD CITIZENS must blindly follow their President without question, lest be labeled as subversive Anti-Americans!

Tides have turned my friend.

He confused me when he referred to Obama's election as:"This inspiring moment that so many have awaited so long". I mean it's only been 8 years, I know under the circumstances it seemed a lot longer but it's surprising to hear the admission from Bush.

*ducks*

I wonder what Mr. Bush's role will be. He does seem out of place between the other former Presidents, as he has such an incredibly low popularity rating. He is also not a particularly gifted speaker, public or otherwise.

no role....

Keep in mind that in recent polls, Bush was ranked #7 in the list of "best presidents" . In 50 years he will probably be in the top 5. Funny how history is re-written.

^Truman was tremendously unpopular when he left office, history has come around on him. Not saying it will on Bush, in fact I may doubt it, but history can't be called in it's own time.

Also notable, the three presidents to have the highest approval ratings at any given time (Truman, Bush I, Bush II) have all also had the three lowest.

too bad you weren't this skeptical and cynical about Bush's administration and his policies before he trashed our government, economy, environment and general standing in the world.

As a proud conservative, I consider myself more cynical and skeptical than you about government's ability to solve anything. I am equally skeptical of human nature.

My Bush disappointments are many: spending like a liberal, open borders fiasco, NCLB, taking no action against rampant fraud in both Iraq and Katrina cleanups, pushing the bailout without debate and towards the end, failing to stand up for himself or his party. Bush lacked core principles, and look what all his pandering to lefties got him: unbridled contempt.

Nevertheless, Bush got a hysterically bad rap from the main-piss-stream media, which has acted like deplorable, infantile squawking seagulls these past 8 years, criticizing the man even as he spent money like a liberal and expanded government. I'd say the lowest point for the bottom feeders was blaming Bush for Katrina while ignoring the fact New Orleans was run by corrupt taxocrats (and still is!) all the years those levees should've been fixed.

I find it hard to take you serious, it's as if you haven't been paying attention to what's happened in the last 8 years

Look what the rest of us had to deal with from the blame-America-first left. Worst Congress ever, controlled by taxocrats. Soaring gas prices and they do nothing. Non-stop negativism about Iraq, even as the good news increased exponentially. 9-11 conspiracy theories taken seriously. Lefties seem to have awfully selective hearing and vision when that irrational-beyond-measure Old Tyme Bush hatred kicks in.

But all this is going away. Soon it will be your fellow at bat. Some people have to learn things the hard way, and that time is here for you, Obama's True Believers. Grab a chair. The Jimmy Carter Remix w/ guest starring 60s radicals is about to begin!

QM you've almost become a parody of yourself these days. It's as though you're trying to specifically stand out on the edge.

The way you confidently inform people that bad times WILL come, that nothing will change now that obama is really going to be in charge.... you must know, surely, that there is a reasonable potential for you to have to eat those words. Yet you say them anyway with absolutely no room for reversal.

You're not a dumb guy at all, so my take is that you're just saying it to be controversial, and because it's what you've always done.

In all honesty I think(and hope) he will be remembered better by history than figures like Kofi Anan, Reagan and maybe even Carter. As much as an angry public tried to blame it on Bush, the sale of weapons to and funding of jihadist's in Afghanistan was started by Carter. Reagan went on to expand that program and even helped out Saddam as well. At the very least, history will look more favorably on the guy that fought such elements over those that propped them up. Kofi Anan actively stopped any intervention in Rwanda, hopefully history hangs much of the blame for the 800,000 dead there on his shoulders. One difference between current views and historical views is that current times often over look the effects of inaction, history though looks at failure to act as well(see Chamberlain).

^the top presidents have also been the ones who expand government the most. don't think its a coincidence. the presidents you are made to look up to K-12 have increased the scope and power of government to the largest extent. it would be naive to think that the government doesn't have an interest in sustaining itself. in a couple dozen years, the history books will paint bush as a strong leader who (ab) used his power to "save" the country.

when did you ever learn anything negative about a president in K-12?

Play golf, go fishing, work at his farm. Pretty much exactly the things he did while he was president.
