You kept your charge, you kept us safe, against all odds, for 7+ years.
"...... and an Angel still rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm."

Hey George, glad you didn’t sacrifice your “free market principles” by bailing on the bailout so that the press/liberals would like you in your last days and so you could salvage your legacy amongst those that hate you.
ooops...you did do that.
I’ll miss him, and I’d take four more years of him over Obama anyday.
He should give a “Farewell, America” address...
Thank you Mr. President for all you’ve done for our nation. Unfortunately, a Kenyan Marxist Muslim is about to screw it all up.
Please send money to my liebrary!
So will Nancy and Harry be demanding a rebuttal.
For that, I salute him and thank him.
I wonder if Osama’s gonna catch this.
Hey George, when you come back to Texas and buy back the Rangers, can you at least spend some money on pitchers? I hear you’re real good at spending money, so that shouldn’t be a problem.
At this point, I pray that this nation isn't destroyed and completely demoralized by the incoming administration. I am disgusted and ashamed of our incoming CIC.
You kept my babies safe, they do not know terrorism in their own country. Thank you President Bush, God bless you.
Thank you President Bush. I hope four years from now, we’ll be looking forward to Obama’s farewell address.
Is he going to push for the 2nd half of the TARP? Maybe a newspaper bailout?
MY take on what his last speech should be...
“My fellow Americans...
Tonight, I come to you for the last time from the Oval Office of the White House. From this chair, I have spoken to you at various times and for various reasons. Usually, when I speak to you from this chair, it has something to do with a crisis or problem of some kind. Economic hardships, explanations of what our military is doing, and yes, tragedies such as the horrors of September 11th, 2001.
“All those speeches were done by speechwriters, using language that was meant to sound eloquent while also getting across what I wanted to say to you, the American public. Tonight, however, this speech is from my heart. Although I may not have been born there, I am a Texan, and we Texans speak plainly, from our guts, and we tell you just how we feel. Here, the last time I will get to come before you, I will tell you my true feelings.
“First off, I feel I need to give a special ‘thank you’ to the fine men and women of our Armed Forces. During my time in office, I have asked you as your Commander in Chief to do some hard and terrible things. And every single time, you have gone far and beyond the call of duty to represent our nation. I cannot thank you enough for all the sacrifice you have made and the hardship you have endured. I pray that God will bless and strengthen you in the days to come.
“A little over two months ago, this nation elected Barack Hussien Obama as the man who will succeed me. If you voted for him, I think y’all made a whopper of a mistake. He has no qualification to be President, has even less to be the Commander in Chief of our nation’s military. Even as my time in this office comes to a close, there is still, in some circles, a shred of doubt as whether or not this man is even qualified to enter this office due to his citizenship.
“Why y’all voted for him is a mystery to me. If I had to guess, I’d say it’s likely that the constant whining, crying and anger from the press over the last 6 or 7 years probably brainwashed you into making that mistake. To those who voted for for him, I will say that I hold no personal animosity against you. However, I do question your judgment. You were led to believe that anything was better than me...and now, you’ll get to find out if that was true.
“As for my critics...mostly the press, but also the members of the Congress who, for the last 8 years I’ve been here, have harangued, mis-quoted, taken out of context, slandered, criticized, threatened, and basically tried to make me look incompetent and foolish, I have only this to say....
“You can kiss my all-American ass.
“You cretins wanted me gone, and now you have your wish. It’s too bad we don’t hang people for treason anymore, because every one of you jokers would be swinging from the nearest tree.
“Over the last eight years, I have done the best that knew how to do. I have tried to do what is right, and I admit, I haven’t always succeeded. I am only a man, prone to mistakes and sins, as are we all. The office of the President of the United States always has a profound effect on the man who holds it. As I am sure you have seen, many who become President and enter the office with youth and vigor come out of the experience with an aged and tired look...if they come out of the experience at all, and several have not, for various reasons. I consider myself blessed to have survived these previous eight years, and while I am honored to have served as your President. I am now just as glad that I don’t have to deal with this after noon next Tuesday.
“I can’t say what the future holds, but as for me and my dear Laura, our plans are to move back to Texas and relax for a while. After the previous eight years, I think we’ve earned it.
“Thank you for the privilege of being your President. Good night, God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.
Thank you Starwise. I will be watching Thursday and on January 20th, not to see Obama but to accompany President Bush on his last day.
I’m looking forward to having him back home.
Bless this Servant of God in a mighty way, O Lord ... may his years be filled with the joy of family and the love of friends and the continued prayers of the Body of Christ. No matter what history writes, the only words that count are these ... “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.”
I’m really sad to see him go especially with the rookie who is about to take over. I am hoping against hope that he directs something towards those who have spewed so much hate towards him but I’m sure he has too much class to tell them to “bite me” or just give them the one finger salute?
“...you kept us safe, against all odds, for 7+ years.”
I really think that we were lucky. How can you keep any country safe when you allow open borders, the entry of illegal aliens and those that hate this country. No, I am convinced that we were lucky and I am also convinced that our luck is running out, soon.
Darn! I’m going to be clipping my toenails Thursday evening.
Thank you President Bush for putting integrity back in the White House. I for one will miss knowing that you succeeded in protecting my family. I fear for my family, my country’s well-being in the next four years. Some how I feel people are going to be sorry for judging you so harshly. You kept us safe and I’m sure that wasn’t easy.
I hope you, First Lady Laura and your family enjoy more time together at Crawford.
God Bless You!
Freegards,

Thank you STARWISE.
