Bush better not get an internet connection. If he does, and has all that retirement time, he'll inevitably start reading what he should have been the entire last 8 years, how he was dead wrong.
I think the Neocons somehow limited his available information. But doesn't this happen with all leaders?
Too late.
I heard Laura bought him a Google for a retirement present.
bye bye f**ktard! Never voted for you and after 8 years of turning this nation into a sewer at least my conscience is clean that I didn't have a hand in it by electing the most inept person I have ever seen in the White House in my four decades of life!

On the 20th of January, the nation will symbolically flush the toilet in the White House and send GWB gently rotating clockwise through the sewers back to Texas. GWB has been making the rounds saying 'good bye' to all of us. Here is your chance to say 'good bye' to him.
Threads like this make me sick. No President deserves the over-the-top disrespect that is shown on this forum, by the National media, etc.
I am not saying Bush did the best that could have been done but.....
1. We live in a democracy not a dictatorship. It is soooo easy to point the finger at one person or one political party. The truth is that it is large combination of people who run this country.
2. A large part of the reason we are in the war and the mess of the economy is due to the actions of the American people. After 9/11 people were screaming to go over there and kick b**tt. Well surprise, those people have been fighting for centuries and we did not get the quick victory we expected. As to the economy, lay the blame where it greatly belongs - on the American people. Look how the American people were spending over the last years. Look how the citizens contributed to the mortgage crisis. Look how actions by the citizens has contributed to companies leaving the US - we all want high wages but want to pay Wal-Mart prices, we support the gluttony of perks created by Unions, and the list can go on and on. We were all riding the wave when stocks became overinflated. Far too many people do not want to work hard or at physically hard jobs, far too many people want high paying jobs and little physical exertion. Far too many people walk out of college expecting to walk into a high paying job -- it's their "birthright" and they should not have to pay their dues.
I'm not saying Bush and Congress could/should not have done better but Bush does not deserve the over-the-top disrespect that he is being shown.
Buck up America and quit being whiny candyasssses. Stand up and take your share of responsibility for the mess we are in. That is one of the major problems in our country today -- we just want to whine and blame the other guy. Nothing is "our" fault.
GMA today ran a quick rundown on the years of Bush. It was simply mean-spirited -- it's mockery of the President was also a mockery of the US.
I am so disgusted by the bias and yellow journalism of the media. Wake up America - you are being led around by the press like a dog on a chain.

I think its because if he was at least honest enough or humble enough to admit his shortcomings et all...people perhaps might be less critical but instead its the opposite...In the end, what will he be remembered for? Having a pair of shoes thrown at him..I think that is a fitting end for him. Its not a violent act but the symbolism of that act says it all. Hopefully whenever he tries to sit back and reflect on his past 'glories' that shoe incident will pull him back to earth and make him more reflective on his past.
And if i believe that then i believe that pigs can fly too

Bush and the neocons just finished making a mockery of the U.S. Constitution for 8 years. Next time pay better attention.

Wrong. We were screaming for Bin Laden's head on a platter and were promised it by The Great Deceiver before he decided to invade Iraq and leave the job unfinished in Afghanistan. These actions covered a 60 day span between "dead or alive" and "I don't think much about him any more". I still want to know why the only people allowed to fly after 9/11 were the Bin laden family. Were they in cahoots with Bush? The families have done business together for years.
There were plenty of forewarnings about what to expect after an invasion which were summarily ignored by Bush/Cheney in the rush to start an oil war to directly benefit their pocketbooks. Cheney and the Bush family made and make money with every bomb dropped.

Quite correct, but we do the best we can with what we have to work with. There are pitiful limitations to the superlatives found in the English language that prevent us from expressing the complete depth of our true feelings.
If we can find a way to push the envelope further, however, rest assured, we will.
