Bush "I regret saying somethings I shouldn't have said"
CNN ^ | Nov 11 2008 | CNN.com

Posted on 11/12/2008 4:34:41 AM PST by rudman

"I am proud to be the commander in chief of people who are so selfless and so courageous that they would volunteer to serve our country in a time of war," he said. "I'm proud when I see people feed the hungry. I'm proud when I'm in Africa and see volunteers helping those citizens dying of HIV/AIDS."

"I remember the conversation I had with my predecessor Bill Clinton," Bush said. As a matter of fact, [I] called him yesterday and said, 'Bill, I'm getting ready to meet with the new president, and I remember how gracious you were to me. I hope I can be as gracious to President-elect Obama as you were to me.' ''

George W. Bush was a class act till the end, A man of profound thought and humility, and a Christian that we can all admire and aspire to emulate.

While there were things to disagree on during his administration - he is not perfect, and does not pretend to be - only Jesus Christ can claim perfection - he did keep America safe, even though many Americans at time did not deserve that safety.

That is his job, i.e., keep America safe. And the idea that "many Americans at time did not deserve that safety" is detestable. Every American deserves to be defended regardless of where they stand poltically. I suggest you read the Constitution.

W was a leader on one thing: security. For the rest he was a follower and capitulator.

Nope, I feel as you do, but Bush is what he is. He believes in being decent and in respecting the office. Nothing is going to change that. We will get to see how the office can be disrespected soon enough.

Bush said. "I really do wish him all the best. I am just as American as he is American..."

BS, Mr. President! I know you had to be deplomatic, but you didn't HAVE TO say this? Do YOU know where this "thing" was born???

Not a Bush fan. Forget McCain, or Palin, it was Bush who was the biggest drag on this ticket.

He is a nice man but he forgets he is ALSO and ABOVE ALL POTUS and he doesn’t seem to have a clue about what is going on with Mr.OSAMABAMA !

No investigations needed about the financial crisis,about election fundings,about votes...
Mister OSAMABAMA made all his campaign slaming and trashing shamefully GWB...
And everything is allright because it’s “historical” for african-americans! WOW stuning!

Detestable??? Me thinks not. Traitors do NOT deserve the protection provided by a country they are trying to destroy. These are the folks being referred to. If you think these type of folks deserve the same constutional rights patriots and citizens enjoy you are on the wrong board. Try DU.
