Republicans can't save themselves from George Bush. They let Bush do whatever he wanted from 2001-2006 without oversight and continue to enable this abuser.

Anybody that doesn't see the dire situation he has put the United States in, is like someone driving down the road speeding that just missed the sign that said
"bridge out ahead". Pretty Soon you'll be be falling off that cliff taking your entire country with y ou.

Come on People , The Trumpster is right.

First time in history I can remember ,the American dollar is lower than European money.
Big ONE here - There are weapons of mass destruction - Where are they ?

Another Big One - Sadam Husane massacred 20,000 people and hung for it.

Since Bush invaded Iraq- (You did notice I said Bush) - Invaded Iraq, more than 655,000 Iraqis have died (BBC NEWS REPORTS) since 2003.

Who is going to hang for this ?

(655,000 LIVES) This does not include US military Life !

I am not putting down any US military person or individual , I praise their bravery.

Truly, I feel most have died from a Lie of misleading the American people of terrorism everywhere, maybe here ,, maybe there , maybe over yonder.

The fact is , we did not stop terrorist on American soil ,, we definitely can’t stop it chasing ghost on foreign soil. ( Its all smoke and mirrors) if we continue to believe this.

Lets take it Home - Here in the US.

More people are out of work than I have ever seen in my Lifetime - You cannot go by the so-called unemployment rate , because once an individual has maxed out on unemployment benefits the individual just becomes an un-known statistic.

Companies- WoW -this is Huge. Just in the small counties I live in , more than 40 - Large well know companies have called it quits under the bush Administration. Companies that have thrived ever since I was just a small boy.
Last time it was this bad was under the last Bush Administration.

Trump is right - Bush should go hide in shame.

It is beyond comprehension that anyone in their wildest dreams would fantasize that Bill Clinton or any other person, Republican or Democratic, would have done nothing about 9/11. Bush did the same thing that any other person, even you or me, would have done. He made speeches about how we would bring the person who caused this to justice (still not true after six years) and rallied the support of other nations (which has largely disintegrated due to his incompetence). Name anything that he did that you would not have done if you were president on 9/11, except, of course, for reading "The Pet Goat" while hundreds died in our cities.

Trump is a clown, like all the liberals in this country. Money obviously does not make you smart.

I agree with M. Trump for once. President Bush has destroyed the good name of the Republican Party. His war is a total disaster and so is his views on immigration.

Remind me what "The Donald" has done to protect the country, especially back during the Vietnam War era when the pressure of the draft forced most of us red-blooded American males into the armed forces (I, myself, ended up serving in Vietnam and retiring from the Air Force). President Bush, who Trump and other worthless "opinion makers" belittle for his military service and also leadership of our military, should know that Bush graduated from Basic Military Training School as an Honor Graduate in 1968, before getting his commission as an officer in the Texas Air National Guard and going to pilot training, already an achievement few people (including big-mouth Trump) in this country can claim. Bush flew the F-102 Fighter-Interceptor, the sole mission of which was to shoot down Soviet bombers which would be heading toward the U.S. mainland in a nuclear attack. His type unit was never deployed to the Vietnam theater, so he could not have gone there if he had wanted to without leaving his unit and re-training in another aircraft of some type. By the way, brave Donald, it was dangerous, by its nature, to fly any military aircraft, particularly fighter jets, but the F-102 had a worse than normal accident record, as I recall from my tour in the command (Air Defense Command) that controlled them. I happen to be proud of my president and wish Trump would be the one to go into hiding. Please Donald, do us that big favor.

The Donald's opinion unlike those of us who can only spit our opinions on these comment pages will reach a much broader audience. It's also important to note that alot of these celebraties have seen alot more of the world than you and I have and just might have a little better insight and knowledge of what's really going on than the rest of us who just know what they've been fed by the controlled media.

If Democrats win then we might as well start calling America a communist country. Donald Trump needs to stick to what he is good at …whatever that might be…

As for Bush, he has done a great job…and how dare people insult him for the iraq war or doubt what he does. Democrats need to get over it and respect the people that are fighting for the country that we live in.

TIME FOR TRUMP TO GET A HAIRCUT !

Donald Trump should shut up and thank the Lord that he was born into an incredibly wealthy family that could, and would, support his failures and successes.

Donald just had a bad hair day - oopppps - I forgot - everyday is a bad hair day for Donnie boy. Just go dig a hole and hide in it donnie boy

It pays to proof read.

Should read: Hillary? Bill? Kerry? There's quotes from all of them about Sadam and his anti UN ways (kicking out the inspectors, WMDs etc.). Hell, Clinton was the one who initiated our national policy of regime change in Iraq. How convenient for the democrats that most people forget what they said and how they voted and prefer to trash one guy. Our president.
Takes more than one guy folks.
None of them (current crop of democrat wanna-bes) are strong enough leaders. None! They all get their marching orders from Soros.
Hillary will say anything and is constantly shifting her stance. She learned to do that from Bill. Any smart voter would see that. The record is out there. The media won't tell you.
We've become collectively stupid. The man on the street is ignorant and disengaged. We get what we deserve.
It's time to take our country back. Please don't give it to the Clintons again. I beg of you.

The ignorance in this country is astounding.
Bush lied blah blah blah.
If so what did everyone else do? Cross their fingers when they spoke out against Sadam?
Hillary? Bill? Kerry? There's quotes ne of them are strong enough leaders and they all get their marching orders from Soros.
Personally I'd love to see Newt go for it.
Have you listened to him? He makes the most sense. We've got to stop this extreme partisan bickering. It's like two idiots in the park arguing who's sh#t doesn't smell.
Blame Clinton, Blame Bush blah blah blah blah blah.
We need to take back our country.
Read Laura Ingrahms book if you have any courage. She too has the right idea.
Donald Trump should stick to Rosie Bashing and we should ignore it.

Look for the money trail,especially with the Donald! Methinks that Donald wants his trade with some terrorist nations resumed maybe? One thing is sure, Trump cares only about Trump.

Trump and Blitzer are clearly idiots. Guilliani is our next President, Hilary is to disgusting

Bush the worst president ever? Have you forgot Jimmy Carter? It took the greatest president ever, Ronald Reagan, 2 terms to straighten out the mess the peanut farmer left this country in. And he's still out there sticking his nose in places he has no business.

Bush should hide? This from a delusional narcissist who was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. Do us all a favor Donnie and hide your obnoxious self.

Another thing he is wrong about is Bush being the worst president ever LOL. I believe that title would belong to the one and only Jimmy Carter.

Trump……..thee biggest BIG MOUTH IDIOT OF ALL IDIOTS………….

The Donald thinks he is wise, but in reality he is a fool as many of the proud, haughty and liberals are. As Paul wrote to the Corinthians,
19. "For the wisdom of the world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain." (I Corinthians 3:19-20)

Trump is vain, crafty and thinks he is wise. In reality, he is a fool and if full (fool) of himself.

J. Edward Stevens

Maybe Bush can go hide in mexico. He seems to think we are one.
A true patriot to this country can win the white house. Someone who is far from bush and the clintons.

Good grief, it's depressing to read the
comments left by my countrymen.
Is everyone in America on the internet
as poorly educated as these sad sacks?
Arguing over Trump and Bush!?
They're both rich and arrogant.
They don't care a bit what any of us
think. They laugh at you and what-
ever you think you think.

"gone from this tremendous power…to somewhat of a laughing stock…"? I think Trump must have been talking about HIMSELF! What an idiot. He displayed what a total doofus he is (and a womanizing lecher begging for a sexual discrimination lawsuit) on a CNBC interview today. He was hitting on the CNBC interviewer while spewing idiotic opinions about how "they" lower the fed funds rate but take it away with high oil prices. Does he not understand a free market? Is he a conspiracy theorist that thinks someone is secretly pulling strings on world open-market oil prices? Maybe that's because he earned his money by pulling strings and manipulating people.

Oh that is so true… I laugh at more than I respect our president. I find him a joke.

The donald has no credability.How many times can someone declare bankruptcy,stiff shareholders and creditors and still be view as a financial guru.for the people here that say get your facts straight I live in atlantic city remember the old days of the donald and remember the Taj Mahal was built and he couldnt pay the contractors and the subs who built it.I was one of them that got the old shaft.They could of at least used some lube,would oh hurt less..And CNN well your a lib media outlet so what more should we expect from you.

Donald Trump?? What a blowhard!!
He should keep his thoughts and rhetorical blather focused on lightweights like Rosie. I couldn't imagine The Donald as president.
He should cut that horrible looking comb-over as well!
I think he's insane.
Just my thoughts…

Donald Trump is in no shape to give advice as his Casinos are rumored to be failing. He is power hungry and loves the camera.

After appearing all this year and last with his own first lady of TV "Rosie O'Donnell", Trump cannot be expected to be taken seriously or his political rhetoric. Bush clearly has problems, but the last thing he needs is advice from a realtor/airline owner/condo developer/reality TV (need I say more)spokemodel.

Bush shouldn't go into hiding. He's been hiding who and what he really is for years. I wish the media would stop focusing on the 2008 election and watch what he and his evil puppetmaster Cheney are up to. We're all way too distracted by the blessed prospect of enjoying a new and different president.

I am sooo sick of Donald Trump says this… Donald Trump says that. So, he's very wealthy. Does that mean he has some genius insight into things the rest of us don't? All of these celebrity/actor/wealthy person set should recognize that they aren't any better or smarrter than the rest of us.

Once again, "America's Most Ridiculous Man" proves his worth.

Donald Trump is full of himself and has made all his money by talking others out of theirs. At least President Bush has not sold us out to our communist enemies like his Democrat counterparts.

Its long overdue for Donald Trump to go into hiding and to shack up with his lover Rosie O Donnell.

Sheesh. Go AWAY Donald Trump, you pompous windbag. What do you know about it anyway?

Trump! Shove Off! Why should you care how the public views Bush. He has by no means been a great president, but he has stood his ground like an American should. And as for Trump, all he is doing is contributing enternally to the demise of our great country with his lame and totally pointless "reality" tv shows. Every time that I ever happened to catch a little of the Apprentice as I was thumbing between channels I saw nothing but a bunch of childish, snobish idiots arguing and plotting to undermind someone else. Made me think of a bunch of Democrates! No president is perfect, but a good president is one that stands their ground. So Donald, go build some more over rated, over budgeted buildings and pray some crackpot like Bin Ladin doesn't try and take a shot at one of them.

Trump just got lucky having money. But that doesn't mean he's got the brain. He can't even handle Rosie (potty mouth) O'Donnell. And by the way, who listens to him anyway.

Advice from the guy that thought Ophra would make a good vice president. Oh Please. Rich boy born on thrid base with a gold spoon in his mouth tells us he is a success. Didn't think it was so hard. Oh well even morons can be rich.

TRUMP YOU ARE JUST A BIG MOUTH AND IF YOU AND SOME OTHER JERKS KEEP SELLING OUR PROPERTY OF THE U. S. A. TO ALL THE FOREIGNERS WE WILL BE THE MINORITIES.

Sorry but this election has all been figured out long ago by people you will never know about.

Bush main objective has been his program: " No mexcican drug dealer left behind" that program has been a success for Mr. Bush sonce he has left the door wide open for lawless immigration.

I THING HE SHOULD GO INTO EXILE.

I LIVED IN PERU….AND FUJIMORA WENT INTO EXILE AND IT PROTECTED HIM FROM JAIL FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS. AND I HOPE CHENEY IS HANDLED AS WAS VLADIMIRO MONTISENOS…
HE WAS LOCKED UP AND NOT HEARD FROM AGAIN

Who let this blowhard have the podium on this issue? What a pompus ..!!

Edit this CNN you liberal usa hater
Iran keep use a good new source like yours, oh ya he would just have you all killed for being immoral
Hillary has no chance

The Donald knows more than anyone else about being a laughingstock.

"As for the number that was lost during 911. We have not passed the number lost on that day in over 4ys of fighting in Iraq. You are mistaken and it goes to show that you do not check your stat's. Alone in the Towers we lost a little over 2900, and on the planes another 400 and then you have the Pentagon. that is in one day. You do the math. We will have to be there a lot longer than 4yrs to get to that average".

Here are the real statistics: deaths in World Trade Center: 2603 with 24 still listed as missing; American flight 11 had 88 deaths; United flight 175 had 59 deaths; Pentagon deaths were 125; American flight 77 in Washington had 59 deaths; United flight 93 in Pennsylvania had 40 deaths bringing the grand total to 2,974 with 24 remaining officially missing.

There have been 3,789 U.S. deaths in Iraq including 702 in causes other than combat. So, I repeat:

THERE HAVE BEEN MORE BRAVE U.S. SOLDIERS KILLED IN A COUNTRY THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11 THAN DIED IN THE 9/11 ATTACKS. "You are mistaken and it goes to show that you do not check your stat's. You do the math"

Donald,

It is time you get a respectable hair cut!

Trump is right, Bush should hide and I know a good place. How about a region in Pakistan since it's been suggested that's where Bin Laden is hiding out.

At least GHWB still has his own hair!

Posted By Katherine, Albany NY : September 25, 2007 4:50 pm - Great post on Bush! Right on the money, and Donald and Rosie are left-wing buffoons.

Oh, yeah. Thank GOD for President Bush, a man of Character and Conviction - 2 things Billary and Bubba wouldn't know if it bumped them in the dark…among other things.

Libs - get a clue! Most of the world has hated the U.S. for decades. Libs here hate the U.S., to include CNN - The Clinton News Network - have done so for decades. Look at the moron from Iran that a liberal university just invited to speak. They'll praise dictators and murderers…then attack Our President and Our Troops.

The Donald Duck and his liberal friends have NO CLUE. I thank GOD that my Country is NOT like a European Nation; God help us when that happens.

Republicans should only mention "Bush" if they also use "tax cuts" in the same sentence. Fair or unfair, he's a polarizing figure in the political realm. He needs to let the candidates stand on their own.

At least both Trump and Rosie see eye to eye on the same thing.

1. Bush should go hide in Trump's hair.
2. A Republican will lose in November 08

So why doesn't donnie go get the little teen queen and go molest another teen under the guise of marriage.

Boston/Maine - Says…I would hope that the bible belt would get a clue and vote for the Demicratic party regardless if he goes into hiding or not. Why is it that the Blue states have a higher population and generally a higher average IQ?//////

So…this lib would hope that the Bible Belt would get a clue and become STUPID like Blue-State liberals???

SORRY - Don Tramp does NOT speak for me, and he's an embarrassment to the USA, and to the world. Then again, so are most liberals, like Billary and Osama-bama.

"Oh, and if you're going to throw out blue state stats, why is it those same blue states tend to lead the nation in crime, homelessness and poverty?"
More people on welfare. More people shot down in the streets.

To David in Boston MA:

"I new Donald was a wise man. But I would hope that the bible belt would get a clue and vote for the Demicratic party regardless if he goes into hiding or not. Why is it that the Blue states have a higher population and generally a higher average IQ?"

Posted By David Boston,MA : September 24, 2007 1:22 pm
————————————–
Blue States have a higher IQ? Shouldn't that translate into using proper spelling and grammar?
Just a thought from a lowly at-heart Red stater…..

I don't know, David Boston… if your blue state has such a high IQ, why can't you spell your own party's name correctly?

Three marrigaes latter, and what did he have to say? Bankruptcy, divorce, hookers in front of your casino, and what advice do you have to give??? He's fired.

Wouldn't it be better if "The Donald" kept his mouth shut and let us think he's a fool, rather than speaking and removing all doubts?
He and Rosie are a terrific twosome–much mouth and little brain.

IT IS TIME FOR DONALD TRUMP TO TAKE A HIKE. THERE IS NO OTHER PERSON I KNOW OF THAT THINKS SO MUCH OF HIMSELF. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAS HE WALK OVER TO GET WHERE HE THINKS HE IS TODAY

Don't we all just wish this buffoon would just shut the hell up and leave his pursed lips and coiffed rug to his naive eye candy of a wife to deal with!?
C'mon Donald…just shut the hell up, continue with your American dream, even with the help of the Bankruptcy Courts, (that, oh by the way….I help pay for you low life scum)and leave us all without your assinine, liber left, hateful retoric!
You remind me of the pond scum that throws their butts and trash out the windows of their cars, and people that could care less about MY environment with your filthy actions.
AND OH YEH…why can't you just keep your seman spreading piece of hose in your ARMANI trousers and not further contribute to the worlds Fatherless children?!?!
You're SO fortunate that "DAD" SET YOU UP FOR LIFE, otherwise you'd be on the streets, living under some decaying overpass!
you make me so disgusted!!

Donald, when was the last time you were important? Are you releasing another series? Is the Miss USA pageant coming up? Please go back to your hiding place Mr. "I am so smart".

Since when has Donald Trump become such an authority on world and other affairs … to the point that Mr. Blitzer would want to feature largely boring interview highlights with him over a two day period?! Can't CNN focus instead on talking to others with more experience and savvy, instead of taking this easier - and perhaps more glamorous - alternative?

Want some really reliable advice? Whenever two such moral and intellectual icons as Rosie O'D. and Donny Trump join voices against anyone, its a good bet right-thinking people should enthusiastically embrace the target of their tirades, in this case, President Bush (who has greater moral resolve in his nail clippings than the two of them combined!)

History is going to be good to Bush it was on Reagan. Though Bush is no Ronny he has been right on most issues except immigration. He did the one thing that makes a great president, placed US interests ahead of the world popularity contest!

PS that was 5th Marines

Posted By Susan I, Jerseyville, IL : September 25, 2007 3:29 pm

Susan, God Bless you! You say it with pride and I comend you for that.

I would like to say this. I was a Marine as well and severed with the %th Marines out of Camp Pendelton. I have read many that have either been Marines or they are currently. I don't have any clue where you went to boot camp but the must have forgotten to teach you Honor and Respect. On for your Country and secound for your President. As a Marine you do not have the liberty to question. Not the President nor your recruiter twisted your arm to serve this Great Country. You did that yourself and should have left out of any comment you had to say here that you served for such a Service as the Marines. I stood toe to toe with some of the finest men and of them all not many were happy to be over there but they were damn proud to serve and did it with out crying about it. I am ashamed to have any Military man here speak out about it when of all people you should know that the men you served with, and did not come home, you are a disgrace to them.

Second… Someone said the Iraqies are worse off now then they were then. I would like to know where you got your information from. I served both in the First Desert Storm and I have served in this War. During the first one in 1990 for those of you commenting that were two young to know what year it was. There were towns that did not have electricity at all much less have water. the only ones that did were Saddams people and they were lucky to have it. Today after about 4 yrs of working by the many Americans over there trying to make it a better place than it WAS. Those towns now have utilities. Both electric and water. Yes you are correct they have it sparingly and that is to make sure that all are able to have some and not just one or two town having it all. I bet they like having what they got.

As for the number that was lost during 911. We have not passed the number lost on that day in over 4ys of fighting in Iraq. You are mistaken and it goes to show that you do not check your stat's. Alone in the Towers we lost a little over 2900, and on the planes another 400 and then you have the Pentagon. that is in one day. You do the math. We will have to be there a lot longer than 4yrs to get to that average and if that day ever comes it will require you TRUMP lovers to quite your crying over the fact that the Iraqies have to pay 9 cents per gallon of gas V 4 cents per gallon, and pick up a fight to defend the very country that you spit on. I hope that the brave men and women and their families are the only ones that have to bare that burden.

God Bless the United States and who ever has the Strength to lead her, be it Republican or Democrat.

Wow - A guy who has made billions by being a failure in half the things he does, seems to think he knows how to run the country? The fact of the matter Donald, is the CLINTON's made us the laughingstock of the world and Bush has been trying to reverse that. Holding hands and singing Kum By Yah does not always work. Giving away free money and doing what they ask does NOT WORK. Our "current" enemy only knows fear, and a bully we must be - such is the price of freedom.

To think the blue states have a higher IQ is dead wrong. Anyone who thinks HIGHER TAXES, SOCIALIZED MEDICINE, and MORE GOVERNMENT definitely needs to have their brain checked out. We built this country to escape taxes, not create more. Go back and read your history!

I'm by no means a Trump fan, however
I'm totally convinced the future of this country is hopelessly doomed, judging from the ignorance and lack of attention to so many ills brought on by the moron-neocons who seized control of our well being and have:

- swelled our national debt to a level
where our childrens' grandchildren will have yet to climb out of

- exported our work, because 8 digit exec salaries were no longer good enough for anyone

- initiated a pre-emptive and pre-meditated (as in PNAC) war that continues to deplete our resources,as well as our sanity (our foreign policy
is entirely driven by Israel)

- swelled our trade deficit to the point it's a challenge to keep track of…just wait until our credits no
longer any good, as we have no real
manufacturing base of our own left..suppose we'll all just return to self-suffiency

- continue to shower tax breaks on the
ultra-wealthy…don't you know hedge fund moguls only pay 15%, while those who are wiping up cr*p in nursing homes, are paying full rate?

- would rather continue to squander recources to ensure big oil profits, instead of investing in and accelerating work on alternative technologies that will maintain the inhabitability of the planet

- total absence of any intelligent future planning in terms of how future
economies will work within the confines of shrinking resources, over-population, environmental damage etc etc.

And to put the tin lid on it, I see names like Fred Thompson thrown about
within what appears to be serious discussion….all a laughing stock indeed !!

Sounds like a lot of people commenting here have Bush Derangement Syndrome. I'm not going to attack anybody on here because it would be pointless, for those that have BDS, they will not agree with me no matter what I say or how many facts I bring up.
I am proud to be in the best country in the world. The same country that has given more blood for freedom than any other country on this planet combined!

hill can't win…

senators don't win presidential elections….not for decades.

I wish Bush could run again.. He's probably the best Presdient this nation has seen in DECADES!

Trump proves time and time again that money does not equate to class or even intelligence.

A man married as many times as Trump should stick to getting his own life under control rather than advise others.

Apparently he and Rosie are really cut form the same cloth.

Trump is like the "Boy orator from the Platt - an inch deep but a mile wide at the mouth."

Hey Max of Dunnellon, Fl,

He did not expose any "agent", valerie Plame was a known CIA beauracrat (her neighbors knew it so how is it a "secret"…she was not a CIA officer and she would not have the balls to be CI. She was too pretty and slept her way into her position, typical power hungry washington bimbo…No reason for treason. Joe Wilson was incompetent and Valerie was the same….Looosers.

Susan,
Yes Bush is responsible. He sent 3,800 soldiers to die, not looking for bin Laden, but into a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. If other nations disliked us for bashing our president, then how do you explain that Clinton was terribly bashed here and yet is considered a very popular, beloved and respected statesman in those countries?

Bill Clinton tried to kill bin Laden. George Bush had already been in office for 8 months when 9/11 happened on his shift. George Tenet testified to Congress later that he hadn't been in touch with Bush for the month before 9/11 because Bush was already on vacation in Texas. Bush had shots at bin Laden at Bora Bora and didn't do it and Rumsfeld later canceled another mission already in flight to kill bin Laden. Five months after 9/11 Bush said "I repeat, I am not that concerned about bin Laden". He later falsely claimed he didn't say it.

We complain about Bush because of what he has done to our great country. We love our soldiers and want them safe instead of in a civil war. Our military estimates that 90% of the deaths in Iraq are due to civil strife and not the war on terrorism.

Those who support the war should be willing to sacrifice economically like has always happened before. Passing all our debt onto future generations is immoral.

Trump is a rich kid with whom I can only agree when he is debating Rosie. He knows little more about politics than Rosie.

Richard, it was I who said that my life hadn't changed because of President Bush. No, I didn't lose a loved one on 9/11, but Bush wasn't responsible for that anyway, Clinton was, for not doing anything about Bin laden while he was in office. No, I don't have any family members who have served, all are older and served in other wars. No, I don't travel abroad, no intention to, i love it here. And those people are unfriendly, because they see our own people bashing their own president for trying to protect us. How ridiculous. I am working part time right now and on a very low income. NOT because of this president, but because of the president of a credit union, who decided to replace me with his girlfriend. Sounds like a clintonian moment, huh?
I'm just saying, stop all the Bush bashing and start taking back the pride in our country. Bush didn't lose that for us, you lost it yourself. The constant bashing and hate from Americans makes us look bad to other countries, not Bush. It's time for all you Bush bashers/haters to start taking some of the blame for how we are perceived instead of shoving it off on him, just because it is easier.

bush could have taken the clinton route and did nothing after the worst attack in american history!! and the 'world' would have really loved us!! dont you love how people value the 'world'?? who exactly should we want the love of?? russia china saudia arabia iran lebannon syrya germany france???

Anyone with hair like Trump's should run and hide too. What an IDIOT!

Donald Who? The pretend mogul? This is "news"?

Donald should go into hiding and stay out of politics. Trump is a laughing stock.

Someone stated that their life is no different than 7 years ago. It's understandable because they apparently didn't lose a loved one among the 3,800 soldiers dead in the nation that had nothing to do with 9/11. They apparently didn't have a love one wounded among 28,000 injured. They apparently don't travel abroad to see how we have gone from having the sympathy of most of the world on 9/11 and now our president is met by record protests in friendly democratic nations like England, Canada, Australia, etc. They also apparently have made no sacrifices economically because the humongous debts run up by Bush will be paid by future generations. Yes, things are running just as smoothly as when Bill Clinton was president.

Most of these “comments” are the ravings of KOOKs (especially Tommy Birchfield) who populate CNN, and have no clue as to what is going on in the American Government, Politics or anything else. First, to those (including that absolute idiot, Trump) who believe that President Bush is the worst president we have ever had, lest us note that:

–On the day the big bomb fell on Baghdad, Lybia made the call to Washington that it wanted out of the nuclear party, and turned in their weapons. How many Presidents obtained such a concession? May some of you jerks had forgotten that one.

–All the countries which the KOOK liberal believe hate the US because of Bush, are quite happy with his surveillance of terrorists and have joined with him, and some great results have followed. That includes some Islamic countries.

–During the Clinton administration, the World Trade Center was attacked by al Quada (a trial run, which proved that a much larger explosion was needed to drop the buildings); no meaningful response from the US.

–During the Clinton administration, two American Embassy buildings in Africa were bombed by al Quada with heavy explosives, killing hundreds of workers; no meaningful response from the US.

– During the Clinton administration, the Sudan offered Bin Laden to the US, Clinton declined to act.

–During the Clinton administration, the USS Cole was attacked by al Quada in the harbor in Yemen, killing and wounding a number of US sailors; no meaningful response from the US.

–During the Clinton administration, the Dravidians at Waco were attacked without provocation by the FBI under orders from Atty. Gen. Janet Reno and dozens of adults and small children were burned to death.

Would you idiots have President Bush follow the lead of Bubba and do nothing about 9/11???

Do you idiots realize the Clinton administration declared that it was the stated policy of the US Government to remove Saddam from power, because of his possession of WMD; the Congress authorized the President to remove Saddam.(Do not come up with the excuse that the Dems who voted for that action didn’t read the intelligence; it was available) .

Now to Trump, if he had not inherited a lot of NYC real estate, he would probably be tending bar in some gin mill. He has been living on the Banks for years; he owes them so much, they cannot let him fail, or they go down with him. He is currently hustling a “get rich” scheme on the radio in our area (NEPA) ; does any really wealthy person do such a silly and demeaning thing?

Donald Trump is a fool like many, he says the United States was so powerful and beloved before Iraq, yeah right, wonder what they all thought of us before 9/11!! Heads in the sands is why we were hit so bad that day, full of ourselves before the towers, the only thing Iraq war did was prove to us who our real friends are!

It's been stated over and over. "Bush ruined our country" Would someone please tell me how. How do you have it so bad. What has changed in your life that constitutes in your making that statement. My life is no different than it was 7 years ago. In fact it's better. Stop blaming Bush on everything that happens in your lives. Take some responsibility for your own problems. Stop mimicing the liberal news talking points. It's really getting old and tired.

Donald is a very ignorant of the fact that many countries depend on us and look upon us. Many of us don't give a damn about how Iran, Syria, France, Germany, and other heavily muslim populated countries feel about us. If you don't like the US Don - move.

Donald should heed the words of Theodore Roosevelt-1910, titled The Man in the Arena:
“It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out
how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could
have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who strives valiantly… who knows the great enthusiasms, the great
devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows
in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, at
least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those
cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.”
This describes Bush, certainly not the Donald.

We should never disgrace the achievements of Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill by including the name of George W. Bush in any sentence with their names. You can be certain that if either Lincoln or Churchill had been the American president at the time, they never would have read "The Pet Goat" while hundreds died in our cities or played air guitar while people drowned in New Orleans.

Any Bush - Cheney supporter is blinded by ignorance and couldn't comprehend the fact that this adminstration destroyed the very fabric of what America truly stands for. As a US Marine for 7 yrs now, I am ashamed to have been Iraq for these fools. They put our lives in danger becuase of oil and lies. I am disgusted. For all of you commenting, Donald is correct regardless of what you say. Typical comments from rednecks and people from Texas. Most of you in support of this presidency are uneducated. Thats why Bush loves you and lives around you. Thats why he was voted twice, we never wake up!! Until its to late!!

Just because you have some bank doesn't mean I care what you have to say. Stop giving this tool press/tv time. Please.

First, how do you know we're "all liberal, some trying to pretend to be disgruntled Repubs"? Statements such as that are as ignorant as following the President blindly or voting simply based on a candidates affiliation rather than the facts - just as you seem to be doing, Sir.

And speaking of "ill informed," the same can be said of our President. The statement you decided to enlighten us with, "One must walk a mile in someone else's shoes to really know how rough the road is…", really made it's mark. I suppose the President should've actually served in Vietnam if he truly wanted to understand the situation he sent our soldiers into.

First Off, As US Marine who served in iraq etc etc,. Whatever, I agree with one thing, Bush and his entire admin ruined this country. And if you don't believe that - then you should hop on a plane and leave America. I agree with Donald and just becuase he's in the entertainment industry don't call him dumb. He has more money then most of us on here. Thats damn ignorant. Typical uneducated comments. I support is statements and I am sure man marines and soldiers who served would also.

Finally someone says what we all have been wanting Bush and his affiliates to know. I say Donald Trump for President! I was so pleased with the Trump segement. I loved it! It was unrehearsed and truthful on every end. Thumbs up to CNN for the thought and to Donald Trump I say thank you( I couldn't have said it better)The Bush administration has made a total mess of everything they touched. I wouldn't want to have to clean up this mess he's gotten us into, good luck to the next nominee your work is truly cut out for you. Mr. Trump called it as so many of us obviously see it(mess)now. He called everyone out from the President right down to non-negoitiating Condi.
My hat goes off to you.

Donald is right. The respondent who said that the Christian Right would knee jerk support the Republians is wrong. I was part of the Regent U.community from 2002 until April. It is one of the great strongholds of the right, Between August 2006 and April 2007, when I left, opposition to Bush probably increased from 5% to 25%, with his vocal backers becoming silent. This is like Boss Daley's family voting Republican. Bush and Cheney are not man enough to resign and will doom GOP candidates who don't publicaly disavow him in 2008.

George W. Bush is the worst President ever?

O.K. Whatever.

But we're the worst Americans ever as well.

We complain about Iraq as we drive in our foreign oil dependency increasing gas-guzzlers. We blame others for the problems we help exacerbate.

No blood oil?

Much foreign oil IS blood oil. We're all consuming blood oil.

Bin Laden stated, "You steal our wealth and oil at paltry prices because of your international influence and military threats. This theft is indeed the biggest theft ever witnessed by mankind in the history of the world."

Ironically, one of the biggest increases in U.S. foreign oil dependency occurred during the Clinton/Gore Administration. Additionally, greenhouse gas emissions went up a quarter during that same period.

That would make the Clinton / Gore years one of the worse environmental Presidencies ever. One of the worst increases in blood for oil.

Isn't that an Inconvenient Truth?

Ultimately, both Democrats and Republicans have, for decades, been bought by oil - as have MOST Americans. Also, lest we forget, it was a Democrat that created our contract with Saudi Arabia, not a Republican.

Point a finger at Bush, America, but there are three fingers pointing back at YOU.

Inevitably, it's not all Bush's fault. It was also Bill's fault. Jimmy's fault. Ronald's fault and on and on.

Most important, it was YOUR fault. MY fault. OUR fault.

We need to stop blaming Bush and start taking responsibility for our lives. When it comes to oil and foreign oil dependency, most of us live in glass houses.

We, the people, need to declare war on foreign oil dependency now. We need to make better decisions as consumers. We need to make revolutionary changes – all of us.

This is OUR country. If WE don't act, it won't really matter who becomes the next President.

Will we act, or are we too fat, dumb and lazy?

Thank you Donald Duck, oh I mean Donald Trump, for your comment. President Bush is in good company with President Lincoln and Churchhill. Good men who are the great leaders in history are vilified and never understood, due to their intellect.

Hey Donald go build another hotel,and stay out of the policts thing

Blue states more people and higher IQ? Interesting: Well the Bible does say that not many will follow him(the red states I suppose represent the one's who do follow him)…and the one's that don't follow HIM will hate those that do follow him…(The blue states represent the haters of Christians).

So I will give you 1 out of 2 here…You do have more numbers in the blue states, but what counts for an eternity, you don't have a clue…stay in the blue…

After being inundated with Mr. Trumps radio commercials about how to make millions of dollars like he did and hearing it for atleast 5 - 7 times a day before I leave work. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD MAKE HIM AND THAT IDIOTIC COMMERCIAL GO INTO HIDING. He's an egotistical developer and that's about it. Why should we suffer. Most people see it as a scam. Do you really think he's doing it for you? Leave Bush alone. Time will tell if he was on the mark with what he wanted to do.

Judging by the number of postings, I would have to say that many people care what Donald Trump says!

It's a waste of time to argue about the intelligence of voters by classifying states as blue or red. When the "color" of a state can be determined by as few as several hundred votes, we are making much too broad assumptions.

After Bush's 2000 victory in the electoral college, a map was circulated that showed the country by red and blue counties. Assumably it was accurate and assumably it was created by Bush supporters. It showed that the nation was extremely red in color. While Bush supporters no doubt viewed this as a very positive thing, they overlooked what else it pointed out. Since Al Gore defeated George Bush by over one-half million votes, the map actually shows that Gore must have done extremely well in urban areas and Bush did good in rural areas. So this debate may turn into a question of rural voters versus urban voters.

I looked it up in the dictionary: under laughing stock, it has a picture of Mr. Trump.

David from Boston
Your comment about the blue state citizens having a higher IQ than red state citizens really cracks me up. Does everyone in the Blue states spell Knew wrong? You and Donald do have similar IQ's! However, I bet Donald can spell.

To David Boston, MA
You "new" Donald was a wise man, huh?… You queried "Why is it that the blue states have a higher population and generally a higher average IQ?"

Blue states are graded on a curve.

Get it right about Valerie Plame - her identity as a CIA agent was covert, since she met casually with contacts while 'shopping' and 'dining out' while her ambassador husband drew everyone's eyes. When she was outed, it was easy for other nations to look back and see who she met with and what information was passed. But Bush said he was shocked and that whoever did it would no longer work in the White House, and Rove moved across the street to a new office while Scooter got a pardon. If a Democratic President takes office there will be a full investigation, but until then? Ha.

This guy is rich, so he gets attention.
But if you met a guy with hair like his, who speaks like he does, on the street….. this drivvle would not be taken seriously.

Some of us knew Bush would not be a good President before he took the oath the first time around!

We are somewhat of a laughing stock all over the world, from idiots such as Trump and Rosie.

I am a Republican from perhaps the bluest state in the union, and I travel all over the eastern region of this country, north and south. If anyone from a blue state thinks that they are generally intellectually superior to our friends in the south, they really need to do a little traveling. As for Republican chances in 2008, I think the GOP has at least 4 or 5 superior choices. The Democrats have a truely lackluster field of candidates, all cowtowing to party extremists. It's going to be extremely tough getting back to the middle. Abd really, how powerful can your lineup of candidates be if they cannot face questioning from the Fox News Network? (Which hosted to only meaningful debate so far.) How can they face down our enemies if Brit Hume is too much for them. I'd put my money on Rudy, Fred, Mitt, or McCain over Hillary, Barack, or Edwards in the 2008 Election. Dems are getting lulled into a sense of false security by listening to the mainstream media that they control. I can just see the tears, the hysterics, and the handwringing of the Democrats on the day after the 2008 Election. I've seen it before, it's called overconfidence, or not taking your opponent seriously.

Mr Trump: you may know a lot about marketing yourself and your companies, but I'd LOVE to see you handle REAL world problems that involve people you can't order around like you own them, and can't make flippant decisions about based on your ego's need to control others. Like most libs, you are great at shooting arrows from the dark at the adults making the important decisions, and have no alternate solutions to the very complex problems those adults face. I don't think you could even handle a Mayorship let alone the Presidency. Stick to what you know best: promoting yourself. Oh, and stop putting off the inevitable - just shave your head.

Hide? So too ought you, dear Donald. Your constant commentary on everything from Rosie to George is as equally wearisome as is the Iraq war.

To equal this, now we can ask Rosie too who will get nomination, unfortunatly this country know who is everybody by now, only a fool….

He can hide under Trumps HAIR.

I am so tired of seeing these Hollywood or rich people speak as if they know what is best for the nation. They all speak with such arrogance, and they do not speak for normal people like myself. If Hollywood ran our country, where would we be today? Scarey isn't it?

Donald:
Stick with what you know……..real estate over-development.

I thank God every day for Bush. If it weren't for Bush, we would have had Gore or Kerry, and nothing could be worse than that!

The Donald has it right , Bush is the worst president we have ever had.

"The President has made lots of good decisions related to the war" and the main problem is that Bush "is completely incapable of communicating those ideas to the nation."

We have invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9-11 and now has made it easier for al Qaeda to operate there. Over 4 million Iraqis have left their homes. Services such as electricity are greatly diminished. Even gasoline for citizens there has gone up over 30 times what it was. An estimated 90% of the killings are due to civil war. Experts say that Iraqis have little interest in uniting as shown by their leaders recent month-long vacations. We have lost more lives there than in 9-11 and generated the eventual SEVEN largest deficits in our nation's history. And Bush has made good decisions and this is just a communication problem? Get real.

Again, The Donald is wrong. He doesn't even understand the oath the President took and that is the duty to Protect the people of the United States and the Constitution. When celebs open their mouths everyone thanks they have a degree of knowledge on the duties of the office. He is as intelligent as Cher is on the subject. This is why you don't elect people who have TV shows. The Donald knows business, but not the office of the President. Keep your day job.

Arguably the best economy ever (obvious), longest period in 20 years without terrorist attacks (obvious), school scores near 40 year high (Dept of Ed), violent crimes at a 40 year low (FBI report), teen pregnancies at a 40 year low (Dept of Health and Human Services), deficit as a per capita of GNP lower than Clinton (see Wiki) and finally someone getting the hard job done. No one likes us why? We are not letting others get away with the same old you know what like they did before this admin. Maybe Don realizes that being in w/ Hollyweird requires this rhetoric. Made him a lot of money.

There are times that Donald Trump makes Ted Turner look coherent. Who cares what he thinks about national politics? What are his qualifications? Why do the media keep dragging these idiots in front of us? I can't wait to see what other notable intellectual like Lindsey Lohan thinks.
Why watch CNN when you have People magazine as its intellectual equal?

The hair, trophy wives and girlfriends, pompus demeaner, his vacuous obsequious children, all shown to us on TV adnausium. Trump this, Trump that. Is he admired or is he an amusing characature of a rich out of touch dork? For me it is the latter. He may know something about the price New York real estate but he knows little of value about this country or its place in the world. He does provide a good bad example of how to behave in public.

Mr. Trump "yahoos" while counting his millions living under a President Bush who made it possible for him to make millions. Some guys never learn because their egoes are always bigger than their brains. Have fun, Donald, watching George help the GOP win in 2008. Rudolph J. Girandola, Author: The Jade Chalice.

Mr Trump has had his chance to run for President! Please tell me who would want a male Rosie Odonell, as President.

Why does anyone care what Donald Trump says. Everyone talks about what a brilliant businessman he is…I could have been a brilliant businessman if my dad had left me with thousands of square feet of New York office space. It ain't that difficult to make money when 400 to 600 million is given to you in one lump sum

Apparently David from the “Blue State” isn’t part of the higher average IQ group! Learn to spell!! Its Democratic not Demicratic party. You might also want to check on the definition of “new” and its proper use in a sentence. That’s a bold statement of intelligence when you can’t even spell or use basic words in a sentence.
–From a Red States.

Bush the worst? Sorry, that title will always be held by one James Earl Carter. Trump is smart, but really just a con man. He may be a billionaire, but is hardly self made. His father gave him a BIG leg up.

No matter how one may feel about President Bush's job performance, it's a sad state of affairs when we give any credence to the opinion of a character like Donald Trump. One can certainly make a case for him being grouped with the Brittany Spears, Lindsay Lohans, and Michael Moores of the world.

Trump needs to stay at what he does best, shameless self-promotion for a buck…

Oh yeah, he is, and I am responding to him. Brilliant in a cheesy kind of way.

Sort of like Penn or Spacey going to visit Chavez, totally self important and misguided.

This coming from a person, who in the grander scheme of things, is totally irrelevant. Donald, just go do whatever it is that you do and leave the more important and weightier issues for the adults to ponder.

I dont like the man nor do I care for the man… To me, it's just another person's political and PERSONAL view being expressed on TV, too bad for most of us we could just do it right here,however, I agree with Mr Trump… I dont think Freedom of Speech has been suppress in this country yet, is it??? Go Hillary !!!

Having traveled extensively in Europe and the former Soviet Republics, I can agree with Mr. Trump that most of the world thinks of us as power-crazed expansionists led by a clueless madman. Business people overseas cannot understand how the citizens of our country could have been foolish enough to let ourselves be led about like cattle, permitted the relinquishment of our civil freedoms and anonymity, and drive ourselves into insurmountable national debt fighting wars for others while our country is riddled with crime, poverty, and crumbling infrastructure. Perhaps that is why a US dolar is now only woth 65 Euros and one Canadian Loonie.

CNN, it's time to pull this one.

It does not matter what you think of Donald Trump…or it your a democrat, republican or independant…he is right on the money in the interview with Blitzer…he does not put his support behind a candidate he just predicts…he says just what most reasonable americans think who don't have their heads buried in the right wing, christian, conservative, hypocritical, holier than thou SAND…

How could this loser make such a comment. He has failed at every thing he's tried to do. Marriage, building and trades, casion mgt, TV programs that suck. He can't even get a decent hair style. What a loser making comments like this what a shame.

Tell him Trump…..Bush you're fired!

Mr. Trump, in stead of telling Mr. Bush what to do I would suggest you contact him and offer your services as THE NEW SECREATARY OF STATE. Look at all the good that you could do in making deals or laying the ground work for the next administration. This adminstration should all go into hiding. Not just the President. Remember it is easy to criticize, you are better than that. I have faith in you.

Dianne Underwood, Melrose, FL come on up and get your sign!!! Calling Donald an idiot is like calling Bush smart, it's just not true. One can't become one of the wealthiest people in the world by being an idiot. I take it that you didn't make the list of anyone with wealth so its easier to attack someone who has attainted it. The bottom line, Bush is an idiot. Get over it.

In calling Bush the worst president in history, Trump seems to have conveniently forgotten Jimmy Carter.

PS History will show Bush was a great president.

I am extremely impressed that someone like Donald Trump would take time off making money to actually share inciteful comments like these. I'm not being sarcastic; moguls usually have better things to do than expound to mere mortals who earn in the poverty tax brackets. Good for him!
