“...They don’t want us to hear them trying to blackmail Bush into suppporting their Liberal budget programs- as the price to protect Americans.
It’s always the money with Dems.”

Our Constitution puts a President in a great disadvantage with the Legislature when conducting war.
Thank you President Bush for prosecuting the war faithfully despite the advantage you knew the Dems would make of it.

“As the years passed, most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11. But I never did. Every morning, I received a briefing on the threats to our Nation.”

Our President had a constant reminder everyday of what potentially could happen to our country. I think as the years go more will be exposed about how much this man had to endure and what decisions he had to make that we knew nothing about and still don’t. He reminds me of how a father will not tell his children everything about the evil that goes on in this world. There is a time and a place for that and I wonder at times if that will be the case for our country.

My thanks to President Bush, Vice President Cheney, the men and women serving in our armed forces and all those who have toiled day and night to keep America safe and free.

My thanks goes out to all of them as well.
Many of our wounded warriors are very concerned at what next week will bring. (rightfully so)

God Bless President Bush, Laura, Vice President Cheney, Lynne and their families. They have served our nation well and will always have my admiration and undying gratitude.

The days really are dwindling down to a precious few, as the song goes, and hearing Pres Bush say goodbye was not easy. He has served his role in our nation's history with honor and integrity and has countless times praised and thanked God for this country and the freedom we citizens have enjoyed. I have appreciated so much about this President. His character, kindness, devotion to duty. His love of our troops, and overall resilience under pressure from every direction. And so much more for Americans to be proud of. Thank you for your service Mr. President and may God continue to bless you and yours.

Agreed! My only real complaint about him.

I think you’re right. Just knowing that we’re going to have this empty suit as president is enough to make me truly sick, I wouldn’t even be faking it.

Issues surrounding the occupation of Iraq
seemed to knock the wind out of the Bush presidency.

I may come to miss President Bush,
but I don’t now.

I am really upset I won’t get to go to his farewell trip here to Midland, TX because I have to attend a school board meeting instead. My paper is sending virtually everyone to the event except for me......so distressing!

It is the first place he will go after leaving D.C. Big bash here.....

“My thanks to President Bush, Vice President Cheney, the men and women serving in our armed forces and all those who have toiled day and night to keep America safe and free.”

Couldn’t agree more. While people from both sides of the aisle nitpick at him, he remains a steadfast leader for All Americans. Not an easy task. Also, I believe he always tried to do what he campainged on, regardless of the political fallout. Integrity is a rare quality in a politician and President Bush has it.

God Bless him and his family.

Hi B! Good to "see" you.

It is equally sickening to come here and see so many people getting petty at this moment.

It has been getting progressively worse for the past 2 years. Sickening is the right word!

Well I do hope we only get better from now on. Most freepers work hard when we are the underdogs. I will be glad when the bickering stops.

You can thank the rotten to the core Republican congress for not standing with this man.
When the liberals and msm attacked him every day, they ... never spoke a word in defense of him, including the great (not) John McCain.

Thank you for stating this fact! It has always seemed obvious to me.

Pres. Bush was an angel in hell. He never changed, He did what he thought was best at any time with the info he had. I think the DC establishment were always mad at him because of the lack of free drinking and food parties at the WH that Clinton turned into a party place. Bush restored some sense of importance to being straight-up around there.

Pres. Bush is healthy. Dye his grey hair now to the original brown and he will look like he did in 2000.

And in his private convos with Obama, Obama's jaw must have dropped to the table if not the floor with what he heard. Obama is not going to please the wackos with what he has to do. The president after Obama will be dealing with that threat too.

Obama has advice of previous Presidents to ask advice from and their administration people for what happened and what they did in secure convos. It's a small group of 5. Bush ordered his admin to help Obama's incoming admin because it's that important.
