The treatment President Bush has received from this country is nothing less than a disgrace.
The attacks launched against him have been cruel and slanderous, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have. The president is not to blame for all these problems.
He never lost faith in America or her people, and has tried his hardest to continue leading our nation during a very difficult time.
Our failure to stand by the one person who continued to stand by us has not gone unnoticed by our enemies.
It has shown to the world how disloyal we can be when our president needed loyalty -- a shameful display of arrogance and weakness that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House.

How brutally, grievously true. I weep at the despicable, vitriolic abuse and attacks this good man has suffered all these years.
God bless and protect him and his dear family, and grant Pres. Bush the peace and certainty of how much all he's done and is doing is appreciated by millions and millions of grateful, decent Americans.
We won't see his likes again soon, and we will be the poorer and less safe for it.
He has suffered unrelentless attacks.
And has chosen to NOT respond to any of them or go on the offense.
That is of HIS choosing and HIS fault.
We conservatives must repent of our negativity regarding President Bush, God bless him and empower him in his final weeks as president.
Where he was wayward, we might have prayed all the more for him.
I shall be petty. Obama is a Nazi. They called Bush a Nazi, so I’m calling Obama Nazi. They called Bush a fascist, a murder, an idiot— so I’m calling Obama all those things.
Sorry our friends at WSJ and NRO are more refined. But I’m angry. I’m really angry. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to go all DUmmie— but I’m upset and I will be petty. Tit for tat.
Honestly? I think they’re happy right now. They just won it all.
So who cares what some lawyer thinks?

Thank you so much!
Bush decided long ago not to defend Conservatism. Why should we (Conservatives) lift a finger to defend him?
Many of the attacks Bush has suffered through are unfair, but it’s hard to stand and defend a man who refuses to stand and defend himself. When you don’t fight back, you lose by default, and in this way Bush has disgraced himself.
Well tonight I would think our enemies are quite happy.
The problem is that Republicans are not brawlers by nature or nurture, with the exception of former Republican Pat Buchanan, who wrote of the boxing ring his father built in the basement for him and his brothers.
The old days of "tricky Dick" have a definite appeal now...
Americans will root for the underdog, but they scorn a punching bag every time.
Bush played the punching bag part real well, don’t you think?
We now know that the media can manipulate anything they want.
We must make that a focus in our fight. We've got to figure out a way our voices can be heard en masse, because the opposition's intent is to silence us completely.
God Bless President Bush always! We owe him a debt of gratitude, not the disrespect and disloyalty that has been thrown at him. History will judge him well and this nation will rue this day that they elected an arrogant fraud.
True, but seriously, why is this being published the day after Obama’s win? This should have been published last month. What a load of crap.
Bush has been the leader of the GOP, and has led it to this.
I call that weak leadership. His inability or unwillingness to bring about better results got us to this point.
He is a good man, but a weak and ineffective president and leader.
No namecalling or nastiness from me; just a fairminded analysis of where we are, and why we got here.
He has pretty much been coasting since 2004, much like his father did. With a similar ending.
To dman late for that, Bush failed in an epic manner, and it seems to me that the idea here is to offer some sort of support for the Obamao is quite simply untennable.
GWB offered his hand and got smacked for his efforts, Obamao deserves the same treatment.
respectless ... but it would have reflected the situation the US are in.
Even tonight the left was taunting him outside the White House as though he himself had lost the race. The MSM systematically destroyed his reputation as a president, making sure that he would be a liability rather than an asset for anyone who ran on the GOP ticket in 08. Their treatment of him has been one of the biggest tragedies I have ever seen, and yet I have wanted nothing more than for GW to use the bully pulpit inherent in his position to defend himself and his decisions. WHY didn't anyone come out with a strong voice and tie the financial disasters of Fannie and Freddie to the DEMS? That whole scheme should have backfired royally on the Dems, but instead most Americans sucked up the lies from the media and believed that Republicans were responsible for the mess. Time and again there were opportunities and certainly reasons for calling a press conference and just reaming people out for their lies and distortions. I believe you have to teach people how to respect you. GW allowed the MSM to define him and their definition was all wrong.
Oh, how sweet to discuss this now. A Kerry lawyer nonetheless! I suppose we are supposed to be ‘respectful’ to Obama and the Demonrats, right? HELL WITH ALL OF THEM. I am an eye for an eye person and at least you can say with the opposition and statements made about Obama and the Demonrats-they are true! These are not good people, period. We are about to find out and get even more verification no matter how ‘paranoid’ some that don’t want to wake up to the travesty that was this election like to call the pessimism of what has happened with this election. Bush has been treated maliciously, unjustifiably. And he will be missed within just ONE YR!! At least with Bush you got someone who could be wrong but was essentially a GOOD MAN. With these people they are deliberately liars who seek to destroy dissent and have more respect for our national enemies that want to destroy us. The media can go to hell along with them. This disaster is all on them.
