According to a lip reader, the first African-American president of the United States, just after the ceremony, asked George W Bush: "You OK?" As to what was Bush's reply, according to The Sun, the lip reader said: "So relieved."
Makes me wonder if they had received a serious threat against the Inauguration.

.... seven-year-old first daughter Sasha was said to have told her president-dad: "That was a good speech, perfect." It's impressive to hear a speech written by somebody that is almost four times your age.

Or maybe he’s just really tired. Those remarks would make sense in either situation.

No, I think it’s just Bush glad he’s getting the hell out.
I don’t know how he’s stood all the abuse.

As Bush said his final farewell to Michelle at the helicopter, he said to her, “You’ll have the time of your lives...I promise.” Dubya is a class act.

Let's see... President Bush is a Texan, with Texas diction, and isn't particularly articulate, and the lip-reader was hired/interviewed by the Sun....
How about a typical military "I am relieved." That accompanies turning over a post?
That makes a lot more sense.

What Bush and Batman Have in Common
By ANDREW KLAVAN
July 25, 2008
A cry for help goes out from a city beleaguered by violence and fear: A beam of light flashed into the night sky, the dark symbol of a bat projected onto the surface of the racing clouds . . .
Oh, wait a minute. That’s not a bat, actually. In fact, when you trace the outline with your finger, it looks kind of like . . . a “W.”
There seems to me no question that the Batman film “The Dark Knight,” currently breaking every box office record in history, is at some level a paean of praise to the fortitude and moral courage that has been shown by George W. Bush in this time of terror and war. Like W, Batman is vilified and despised for confronting terrorists in the only terms they understand. Like W, Batman sometimes has to push the boundaries of civil rights to deal with an emergency, certain that he will re-establish those boundaries when the emergency is past.
And like W, Batman understands that there is no moral equivalence between a free society — in which people sometimes make the wrong choices — and a criminal sect bent on destruction. The former must be cherished even in its moments of folly; the latter must be hounded to the gates of Hell.

There was a mention of a threat, and when I just read the interchange that’s the first thing that came to my mind.

That is something a former Military man would say. So your interpretation is spot on to me.

I don't agree that Pres. Bush is inarticulate or, at least, that he was always inarticulate. Below is a link to a video that compares George Bush 14 or so years ago to George Bush 4 years ago during the debates. The video is anti-Bush, but it does show the rather stark difference between his speaking ability then and now, and I've wondered if he hasn't suffered some health issues in between (the video tries to suggest the onset of dementia, but that's BS. The possibility of something like Lyme disease has occurred to me, though. If I recall correctly, Bush was treated for that at one point during his presidency).
Take a look and see what you think.
Bush vs. Bush

Maybe not the hero we wanted, but the hero we needed.
Godspeed.
