Of course Bush didn't blame anyone. There was nothing to blame anyone for. He inherited a country in terrific condition. (And then look what he did with it... )
As a resident of TX Looking back years later she couldn't have been more correct. There are thousands of Katrina refugees who are still in Houston TX and in many aspects Katrina was the best thing that ever happened to them.
Yes, I would second that. the ppl that fled NOLA were the dregs of that city. I think that B Bush was having a senior moment when she said that.
Bush retired from politics 2 years ago. He wrote a book, but that's about it. Retirement life in Dallas has been great for him. He can finally relax now & go to his ranch in Crawford when ever he like's.
He's definitely not a Bill Clinton or Al Gore still sticking their noses into everything.
George W is basically a very lazy and unworldly man. It's small wonder that he wouldn't want to use his influence, energies and wealth to improve the situation of the world, country or Texas.
I'm going to miss him. He is one of our greatest Presidents. He was the right man at the right time.
After an event like 9/11, most other countries would have turned inward and become isolationists. But Bush did exactly what was needed. He took the fight straight to the enemy and destroyed their hideouts.
Oh wow! ANOTHER stupid thread!!! Woo HOOOO!!! Why have any serious intellectual discussions about the REAL problems this country is having, when one can just post mindless, idiotic threads and get some type of latent neanderthal thrill out of it!?!?!
And yet you felt compelled to respond.
You're not going to get "serious intellectual discussions about the REAL problems this country is having" on CD.
You certainly don't think you get serious intellectual discussions on CD?
Really?

The most dire of which did not exist before the Bushbarians galloped into town.
I'm not defending Bush, I never liked the guy cause conservative he was not, but Clinton had the opportunity to veto the NAFTA bill, and he didn't. Every president since Woodrow Wilson has been anti-America, except JFK. And he got shot in the face. My most favorite president has to be Andrew Jackson, because he defeated the powerful banking interests that were trying to take over America back then.
"Founded in 1921 and headquartered at 58 East 68th Street in New York City, with an additional office in Washington, D.C., the CFR is considered to be the nation's 'most influential foreign-policy think tank."
I second that. He has fought the good fight, he has finished the course, he has kept the faith and he does care for our military and is not trying to shaft it. He is a real gentleman because he has been blamed for much he was not responsible for and could do nothing about, but took it on the chin and did not try to blame anyone else.
When a person knows that one day we will all stand before our creator and give account for our lives, he doesn't have to try to impress anyone. When a person has done the best he could, no one can ask for any more.
God bless the whole Bush family and give them peace in their retirement and maybe a little fun too.
I totally support his decision. I just wish he had made this decision about 11 years ago.
He is a 2 term former President.....that is what they do , or should do anyhow jimmycarter.
