Reader comments: Upbeat Bush bids adieu
42 comments | Read story
Just remember that your approval rating was always above that of the senate & house!
I suppose you're OK with a secretary of the treasury who didn't pay income tax and a senate seat that was auctioned off by the corrupt governor of Illinois?
The GOP is not without its flaws, but the Democrats had the chance to show real change. They've failed miserably in the 2 years they've had control of congress and I don't hold much hope for anything different from the "Chicago political machine" we'll have in the White House next week.
You remember Iraq, they had nothing to do with 9/11, no Weapons of mass destruction were ever found
there, and right at this moment the largest American embassy is being built in Iraq and this is supposed to signal that the U.S. is pulling out?
LOL!
May the Lord have mercy on his pitiless soul.
Without you, Barack Obama would probably not have been elected. You have done a service to this country, in spite of you absolute, complete, and in all other ways, incompetent leadership.
Liberalism has a long history of disasterous results. You don't have to "hope" for that. That's what your about to get.
Another far-righter who can't accept what the majority of America deserves - a new direction.
The smirking, illiterate, smug former president of the United States is lucky he is not in jail
Bush tried his best to be a good little liberal with his spending habits.
Bush tried to be a good little conservative with his peace through strength and tax cuts.
Where's another Regan when you need him?
Its nonsensical to think we can spend our way out of our financial problems. It makes no more sense than spending ones way out of personal debt. But, we must act urgently and fast!!!!!! So says king Obama.
It was just about the classiest thing he's done during his "presidency". Oh, except for giving Angela Merkel an unwanted back-rub. THAT was super-classy!
The people didn't like their borders not being defended,
The people didn't like all the liberal spending,
The poeple didn't like no improvement or changes to taxes or the SS,
The people didn't like the republicans acting like liberal democrats,
when republican acted conservatively, like in '94 they won handily,
heck, Bush won twice, legally and lawfully,
obama won by a narrow margin, signifies nothing,
only a liberal loony would give it any more meaning than that.
The poeple in this country have always been conservative,
An the only way liberals have won anything is taking away the voice the people and going to court,
Plus offering free handouts, and giving the people a target to hate, are simple democrat tricks, which unfortuantely fool the people sometimes.
But you can keep repeating your liberal mantras and litanies against conservatives, the religious and republicans,
ad nauseum,
but it will never them make true.
Atleast Bush leaves in class, unlike the way clinton, a tyical liberal democrat left.
I don't hold the Democrats blameless for their part in all of this. Reid and Pelosi have been poor leaders in Congress and the Dems' majority there for 2 years has brought more problems, not less.
Why don't all you far-right fools disappear and then if you want, try again in 2012?
Meanwhile, there is work to be done to save this country from 3rd World status.
And the mighty Rush/Hannity has spoken once again.
And to think that there are people who think Bush has done so well.
I am not better off now than I was eight years ago.
Are you?
A lot of Utahns have that look down pat.
Wow, you must have been the cream of the crop in your country.
Welcome to my beautiful country, you certainly will be a wonderful addition!
YIKES!
No matter what BUSH did or did not do, CONS can always blame CLINTON. No matter what CLINTON did or did not do the opposition can always blame BUSH.
RR, the patron saint of conservatism defined the succesful President as one who has left us better off than we were when he was elected.
I am sure there is something somewhere that is better now than when BUSH was elected. However, the country is currently at such an economic low point, it will be easy with that baseline of performance for OBAMA to show improvement.
Good riddance!
I think Barney might be better, though.
Does he realize what a rare item he is?
