"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.' ''

I’m going to throw up.
Welcome NEWBIE........
That “Wanted Dead or Alive” was what WE ALL WANTED ALSO!! But LAURA stuck her moderate Democrat nose in so now Bush was seen as WEAK and hen pecked by the Dems and our enemies abroad.
I think in 2 years we are going to wish that Bush was still in office.
See the second poster for a decent example.
he did keep America safe, even though many Americans at time did not deserve that safety.
What makes you judge and jury over which Americans deserve to be kept safe?......
President Bush may be you hero but like all of us he has fallicies. As a leader he did what he thought proper and correct when the decisions were made but that doesn’t make him infallible. That said I still prefer President Bush by large margins over the alternatives of the time, VP Gore or Senator Kerry.
SHOULD HAVE said-screw yall in the msm you aint no body.
I have often seen “newbies” treated with contempt on this forum and I think it’s over-the-top, knee-jerk to assume that a newbie is a troll.
I’ve been on this forum for over 6 years, having changed my screen name a couple of years ago, with the Ad Min’s permission.
Before that I lurked.
If I had posted a vanity thread, would it automatically make me suspect if I just happened to be a “newbie”?
I hope this forum doesn’t stoop to the ways and style of the DU and the HuffPost.
As for Bush-—whatever one may think of him at this hour, history will take care of in due time.
There were many variables at work in the Republican losses this time around that didn’t have “Bush’s fault” stamped on them.
You mean maybe Mr. President, like the word “vigilantes”?
Amen.
You've got to be kidding.
Clearly, the man has never had an original or profound thought in his life.
Dubya spent eight years doing his owners' bidding. In the process, he's left the country in the biggest mess of my lifetime.
He's left the GOP in shambles.
So do I W. This statement being one of them.
Dear Mr. President Bush,
Salt the earth as you depart, thank you for keeping terrorism away from our homeland after 9/11.
Thanks for your welcome to Free Republic - even if it is offered as derogatory. I’ve been lurking this site for a long time - but decided to get more involved and applied for an account..
I suppose that makes my opinion worth less than yours?
Man up. You can be a better person than this.
Sorry for the late response - but I wanted to say you were right. That did not come out quite like i meant.
My point was that he protected the nation, even while some in the nation were very vocal in rejecting his protection. He put the country first, not politics, and did what had to be done. To me there is a lot to be admired there.
He put the country first, not politics, and did what had to be done.
I agree and only hope that the next President will do the same and not play politics. Have a nice evening.
