Happy Birthday President Bush! I would like to send him a check for $37.

$37 the year he took office is about equal to $62 in today's rapidly devaluing dollar.

Thank you for being a big part of why the entire country has effectively been taxed about 40% on everything they own and all of their savings through dollar devaluation during the president's time as Fiscal Ultra-Liberal-in-Chief.

"It was not known whether he made a birthday wish." That's funny. If I were him, I'd be wishing for January to come just as soon as possible.

Doesn't seem like he has mellowed with age. Still the bull headed do it my way and to H- with you, Pres. So sad that at his age he still can't see the forest for the trees.
Hope he had his kind of day to celebrate.

Joe said: "We are in the war, gas goes up $4.00… We have to work till 70s to get our retirement?. All because of Bush. I do not think he knows people do not like him as our president."

I find it amazing how small minded people blame Bush for $4 gas. They have absolutely no concept of what is really going on. They just believe all the sound bites from the media. I can't wait to see what Obama does (or doesn't do) if he gets in. Not a thing, I can tell you that right now. You all remember that when it goes up to 5 – 6 dollars a gallon if he gets in. and again, it's bush's fault you have to work til you are 70? Not hardly. YOU my friend, just didn't prepare good enoguh for your retirement. I'll be retiring at 62 because I did my homework and knew what to do in order to retire faily young AND have enough money to live off of comfortably.

Bush failed because he didn't have enough government experience and because he is arrogant and elitist. He ran on "change" both times, primarily with the support of the ultra conservative religious right. Obama is cut from the same cloth, just different party, also arrogant and elitist, also running on "change," this time with the support of the race-baiting ultra liberal left. Neither Bush nor Obama knew/know how Washington works. Only Hillary and McCain are centrists without a wacky "ultra" label. Both know how Washington works - and whether you like it or not, that's what counts from day one.

We have been lied to and are now suffering from years of big government, runaway inflation, endless war, loss of civil liberty, and the consequences of these failed policies which are reflected in our depressed economy. Happy Birthday indeed.

"Carl from MI" and "itdoesn'tmatter" – We know you're dumbocrats and just whining like the little pathetic losers you are. Keep whining – you're going to whining come November '08 when you see how much pull McCain has!

NOBAMA '08

Gas was $1.46 when he took office and there were tens of thousands of people on this planet who are not alive anymore because of the decisions this man made.

'Celebrating' the birth of this man is beyond absurd.

Sorry Will, but it wasn't Bush's fault for the Social Security system not b eing overhauled. Put the blame directily where it should, on the Senate and Congress.

Happy Birthday to the BEST PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD! LIBERATING IRAQ WAS THE BEST THING WE EVER DID. ROCK ON, PRESIDENT BUSH! DON'T LET THE DUMBOCRATS GET YA DOWN! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! ROCK ON!

MCCAIN '08

I wonder how many burial of dead soldiers in Iraq he could have gone to or their graves to honor them for his push to the war that have cost them their lives. I am amazed hes the only US President i know of that is having high flying birthdays when troops are being killed by the false lies that led them to their deaths and injuries.

For all those dead troops who have served their country with honor and wont have a day to celebrate birthday with their children and love ones, may God bless your family and let your birthdays be of joy that you fought for a country you love and not of sadness that you are gone.

Even CNN can push for the truth about the invasion, but have ample time to publish this article...may the blood be on everyone that drum the bells for War.

Although I'd like to quip that he probably cried for not getting something at some point, cheap shots at him are kind of like kicking a blind person. Cheney's been the president. Bush is kind of like his agent, press secretary, and puppet wrapped in one package.

To K who said:
"As a millionaire with tons of stock in oil I think Bush is doing a fine job as President, anyone who has anything bad to say about him is a traitor to America and is just jealous they arent rich

God Bless President Bush and make sure to vote for John McCain in November"

I am not a millionaire, and I admit to being envious of people who do not have financial concerns at this present moment. But it is a healthy envy that goes away. I have a family to support, and I do what I can, and make a salary that would have afforded some comfort 8 years ago.

What does not go away is my horror and disgust at the possibility that there are people that really feel, think and act the way you do. That kind of thinking is a childish and short-sighted as it gets.

But in honor of the birthday of this childish and short-sighted administration's leader, I'll indulge. Judgements are a 2 way street – as for you or anyone who as a good thing to say about Bush, you are probably the product of nepotism, inheritance, or extreme insecurity over how your material possessions affect your perception of yourself and others perception of you. If you did not have what you had, you literally and figuratively would be nothing, and would think of yourself as nothing. There's a good chance you have small equipment as well.

Enough with all the bashing of President Bush....the american people have nobody to blame but themselves.....we got him elected into office so now we get to suffer the consequences.....if you people wanna be pissed off at someone look in the mirror.

There is an old adage: Time wounds all heels!!

Of course he made a wish: Dear Lord, you are the creator. You know everything. You know very well that I am not as bad as people have made me out to be and most definitely not as evil as people think I am. So please put in peoples hearts to not think of me that way and not confuse me with Cheney and Rummy. You know they are bad and evil but not me my dear lord. Amen.

Happy B'Day and God Bless you dear President.

The best birthday present this dolt could get would be a brain transplant. Remove the pint-sized stem that's there now, replace it with a human brain, and then LEAVE.

I hope, for a present, someone sends him a box of freshly picked stickers. He's sure been a thorn in our side for the past 8 years!

"Psychobetic", above = Psychobabble!

I'd send him a present except that I was laid off when my job was shipped to China, had my house foreclosed, can't afford the gas to go shopping, have huge medical bills because I lost my medical insurance when my employer shipped my job overseas, and I can barely afford to send my kid to college.

But I hope he has a terrific birthday. Maybe he could hire me to clean up after he's done. Maybe I could sneak out a slice of cake for my kids.

Yippee.

Hapyy Birthday Mr. President, and thank you for your service.
You are the best , History will confirm.

Teri, your bromide that "war isn't good for the planet" is such a shibboleth. War is good for one thing: avoiding acquiesence in slavery.

Happy Birthday President Bush, you are respected and wished well. I admire your courage and committment. It has been so good to have a President who is not afraid of the Press and willing to stand up for what he believes. God Bless You!

Dubya ought to send a coconut cake to all the families who have lost their loved ones in Iraq. These soldiers will never celebrate another birthday. He could pay for these cakes with his dividend checks from all his oil stock.

Happy Birthday Jerk!

Happy Birthday, President Bush,

Thank you for doing the unpopular thing and keeping us safe after 9/11. And thank you very much for irritating liberals–oh, excuse me–progressives. They're a sour, not very bright bunch, aren't they?

Happy B-Day Bush dog...Please out live that nut Carter. Thank you for all the good thing you brought to us. Hopefully, the house/congress can do something for a change.

If there's any justice in this world he'll celebrate his next birthday in jail after being convicted of crimes against humanity. He's a disgrace.

What,?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many more years of stupidity this country will have to suffer.? 62 years of pure greed and stupidity are not enough? But he is aptly named Bush as that is what he has in his head! Dried Bush!

Why are we giving him this around the world trip? He has had more time off than any president including Reagan.

Only 62 candles blown out? It should have been more like 4,000+ American lives and hundreds of thousands of other lives he snuffed out with his illegal, immoral war based on his lies.

For all those who believe that we should go easy on President Bush let I remind you of a few "intelligent" quotes that our good president is responsible for saying.

"Most imports are from outside of the country."

“Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness.”

"There's an old saying in Tennessee – I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee...that says, fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again.”

“It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas.”

(Does he know that the word import means to bring in?)

“It's exciting; I don't know whether I'm going to win or not. I think I am. I do know I'm ready for the job. And, if not, that's just the way it goes.”

“I think we ought to raise the age at which juveniles can have a gun.”

“It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it.”

This is just a few. My personal favorite being the Texas/Tennessee one. If you are going to wish President Bush a happy birthday at least do it right. President Bush congratulations on reaching the monumental age of 62 on air force one. There will be a part of me that is sad to see you leave the office, mainly because comedy central will not have any more George Bush material

OBAMA '08

197 days and counting...

what about all the 9/11 victims dead U.S. troops dead Iraqi people who will not have brithdays because of this criminal the people know and will bring him to justice !!!!!

happy birthday.....

Happy B day Bush from all the soldiers that died because you lied.

I'd rather keep celebrating the Country's Birthday than think to even wish Bush a happy birthday.

Happy Birthday America! And Happy Birthday again on January 20th when we will have President Obama and a reborn country!

I guess 30% of the people, wish him well. I don't wish him ill, I just wished he had lost the election in 2000. I still don't know how he won in 2004. It will be more puzzling when Obama loses in November. The year that should have been a blowout for Democrats, is not looking too good at this point in time. We had 7 plus years of promised change, and it is all that is left in our pockets. We don't need empty promises and nice speaches, we need solutions. I cannot understand why this race is still too close to call. Could it be, the people are now seeing the real Obama? I will write Hillary on my ballot in November, I will not stay home. I have always voted, and this year is no exception.

I will not wish the silver spoon fed idiot a happy birthday, God saw fit to give him another year but then having millions of dollars of oil profits from lobbyists (Big Oil) can buy even the best of health for even the most undeserving of retards even if it continues to cost the lives of our fighting men and women in Iraq to do it. Give us the present of your absence REAL soon and take your trained barking seals in this blog with you, "Mr. President"..Gawd, gotta go wash my mouth out with Listerine now..

it is truly amazing how a man that is responsible for so many innocent lives being taken and people as we speak, getting injured and killed could have the audacity to celebrate anything.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Bush. I did not vote for you in either election. I respect you as a human being. Many people are blaming you for the economy, high gas prices, and an unpopulare war. I do not blame you. I realize that as with any problem in life, their are many factors that contribute to that problem. The important thing is to be able to elucidate the solutions to a particular problem. And more importantly, one must have faith that the problem will be resolved in due time. I thank you for your role as President and wish you and your family well in your post-presidential years. God Bless you.

who cares

Happy Birthday Mr. President. Thank you for your service and standing up for what you believe in. I hope people wake up and see the good that you have done and the hard decisions you had to make. God bless.

im not sayin anything good or bad about George Bush but it was a difficult decicion. I mean what would any of you have done instead?

So stop knocking on Bush and leave him alone

I don't like Mr. Bush as my President. I don't even have a lot of respect for Mr. Bush as a person. But I can still wish him a happy birthday and hope that he and his family have a long and healthy life together.

Congratulations Mr. President...........you have done an outstanding job with providing the country with true leadership. Unfortunately the challenged educational system has prevented many with the ability to reason and use common sense to understand the real world and how it works.

Well done!

"Ma birthday wish is dat peoples will rememba me as better then ah am"

I give it about 25-50 years, maybe less, before "Bush" is a swear word that gets censored by word filters.

President Bush had the toughest job that any President had ever had to do. If Clinton had been there, we would have angered our enemies even more. If anyone other than Bush was there, we would have been worse off. Say what you will about Bush, he did exactly what i would have done, under the extreme situation that was handed to him. He was given a crap plate full of al Quaeda and other enemies which The Clintons did not deal with.
Good job President Bush, you have shown much character, even when you have losers putting you down for what you believe in.

They say you get wiser as you get older. Bush sure blew that one out of the water.

Happy Birthday Mr. Bush!

You may not be the best president, or have the best policies, but you do work hard. Even on your birthday, you take no time to rest and have a lavish party. You have one on the way to a meeting, in a conference room, with a small piece of cake. You always care about your health, and you are a hardworking, consistent person. You may not be the role model President, but you are a role model American citizen. Thank you and Happy Birthday!!!!

I hope Bush lives a long, long life and suffers nightmares daily about the tens of thousands he has murdered, lied to, cheated, and what he has done to this country. I know I'm asking a lot, as he has no conscience.

I'm not sure what I dislike more, Bush's smirking face or coconut cake? Oh, well.... Enjoy your last B-Day as president. For your next birthday, I hope you're standing trial on war crimes.

One of the greatest Presidents of all time. It's a shame the left has politicized and divided so much of everything in this country.

I'll miss you as President.

Happy Birthday!

It is ironic that Bush celebrates his birthday on a gas guzzling 747 (Air Force One) while we pay $4.50 per gallon at the gas pump. Shows how out of touch with reality he is !
Thanks God he is gone on January 20th, 2009 !

i hope its your last.

OLD FOOL!

Who Cares

How many people will never have another birthday due to your choices Mr. President? Now imagine a cake filled with candles one for each life taken, from a direct result of a war that was wrong and twisted before it began.

Jenna Bush is not voting republican this election. very interesting and says alot about John McWar.

The world is not a better place for your being in it...

Isn't steward considered politically incorrect?

Would someone please arrest this "president"???

Oh gawd, I share the same birthday week with GW? Well, Happy Birthday anyway.

Happy B-Day President Bush and God Bless You for your leadership! The world will be a better place thanks to you and our service men!

One year closer to his death, hopefully we don't have to wait much longer though.

Happy birthday, President Bush. I hope you live to a ripe old age. That way, you might have enough time to finally realize just how far you set the world back during your eight years as President.

He has cost America so much...what a POOR President he has been

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The same people that blame Bush for all their woes are the ones who are , on the other hand, giving Obama a free ride for nothing and no accomplishments. Actually, Obama is the very picture of pomposity with his chin held high in the air and spewing a million reasons why he can't debate McCain. Most of which are , in truth, because he will lose the debate.

"Let them eat cake", huh mister president? Or would "fiddle while Rome burns" be a better quote to describe your mentality?

A toast to president bush ....hopefully you got a CLUE for your present

Good Job Dubya make sure yyou utilize every taxpayer dollar you can on the fringe benefits you so casually enjoy. Look behind you thats not your shadow its change sneaking up on you. Inauguration Day is going to be exciting!!!

Marcus Age 24 NJ Obama 08/12

The best president your country has seen considering your last President Slick Willie You are all going to miss him when he is gone especially if Obama wins

Mr. President, I am the same age as you are, only difference is, you will probably have a better retirement. Us baby boomers will never know what retirement is since we will be working, for as long as we live. There's is no bright future in sight, and far worst for the next generation to come. During your presidency, you have made us laugh, and also made us cry, because believe me, there is nobody else like you. But you are the President of this great nation, and for that, I give you my respect , although I myself, have never voted for you.

Mr. President. May God bless you and your family on ur Birthday. Though I am an Indian. I admire the way u conducted yourself so far as the Commander in Chief of the Worlds Most Powerful Country. You have shown how exemplary a Leader you are by takein most crucial decions o f winning wars agains two different unsubmissive reckless Governments. You have proved to the World USA is a country with Guts n resolve for its People. In face of pressures for fundamentalist countries or elsewhere. You have proven to the world What a real Man should be. The worlds most power president. You have brought fame dignity and respect to Oval office unlike the sissy Clintons or others. All i can say is you are a modern day Alexander the Great. Wish u all my deepest sincere good wishes.

Happy Birthday "W"!
I hope you suffer a long life and have lots of time to reflect on what you did to this country and it's citizens. May you have many sleepless nights.

Despite everything and true, not all is your fault. Happy birthday and best wishes.

Who cares! This guy is a complete idiot!

s. mcdougall, just curious about exactly which planet you live on? Let me know, so I can go there too!

who cares this guy is the worst president ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I submitted a comment this afternoon and rather disappointed that it was not posted. It was a positive comment containing praise of President Bush and his wife, Laura. I am interested in knowing why it wasn't posted and would appreciate a response as to the reason why. Thank you.

These comments are making me sick.... may the merciful baby Jesus continue to smile benevolently down on this pathetic man-child for ever and ever that he may grow to understand the remarkable damage he's brought to our once fine nation and global community of which it is merely a part... idiot.

Mr.Bush needs to remember the people in this country that he is responsible to and spend less time for his birthday party.

Come one people at least be decent. Our president did celebrate his birthday and by being petty, partisan, shows exactly your mindset. I choose to look at all the opportunities that this country holds, still! And as an immigrant, legal, to this country I am always surprised at the lack of respect shown, especially for such events. So yes a BIG Happy Birthday to our president, George W. Bush!

He should stay there - the worst President by many factors in any of our lifetimes would be best remembered living in exile abroad.

I hope that all of you morons who voted for the chimp enjoy your trips to the gas pump.

Kinda shows you he knows about his approval rating. He has to celebrate his birthday among the people who still like him - they all fit in a tiny aluminum tube well out of US airspace.

Happy Birthday Mr. President,
Happy birthday # 232 America.
Now , Can we please get on to the PRESSING bussiness at hand?
We have fires in California & Drought, the Mid west is STILL under water,Gas prices are Higher than A jet propelled kangaroo, Our stock market is going in the opposite direction ,Unemployment is up, Houses are being forclosed left & right, We have 12,000,000 Illegal Ailean Criminals running around loose in this country & have been INVADED. We have a HOUSE & SENATE that puts out so much
B.S. that we could run this Country on METHANE alone for the next 100 years & on judgement day God is Going to have to Unscrew America out of the ground .
Now back to our regularly scheduled program.

happy birthday to one of our very best presidents.

Happy Birthday pres Bush

People love to bash Bush but he has kept us safe with no more attacks on the US soil.

Unfortunately for the liberals, Bush will go down in history as a good President in the way he handled some tough problems (the economy, terrorism, etc.).

Obama is already moving towards some of Bushes policies, with Faith based money for the needy, staying in Iraq until the job gets completed (backing away from his pull the troops out in 16 months), softening his stance on abortion, etc.

You far lefties are going to have to put up with Obama's move to the center if he has any chance of winning in November.

Happy birthday Mr. President
Don't understand why you get all the blame when we have a congress run by the other party. If they are so great , why haven't they done something?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr. President. I thank you for keeping all Americans safe. May you have continued health, happiness with your family and friends and fulfillment in the coming year.
I will be honored to place my vote for John McCain in November, rejoice iin his victory ,and continue to support the platform of the Republican Party.

Happy Birthday president Bush. Thanks for the great job you have done as President. Welcome to new President McCain.

can't we just stop talking about the shrub? he is inconsequential, has always been and will always be...well maybe not always been, i mean we are seeing the worst economy in decades, an endless and endlessly expensive war, the worst decline in the heart of our constitution since the macarthy era (and likely much worse), a couple of supreme court justices who seem like they got their legal degress from barbazon...well, maybe inconsequential is the wrong word...let's try.....

he is an abomination....it's sad that i sit and hope that this is the last birthday i will ever hear about the "shrub" celebrating...very sad....

Yo my friend Mr. President, Happy Birthday to you and yours! Hope you give us a break too on where we are at this time. You probably had a middle good time I don't think you would have a full blown excellent birthday but at least you had one and the last one too. Because who knows where you gonna be after getting out of office. Good lick my fwen.

Happy birthday Doubya. I got a surprise for you, "Chang we can believe in" Hope and Yes we can.

Mildred

If your kids were in Iraq as mine are, you wouldn't be thanking him for keeping America safe – members of the armed forces are citizens also, and he sacrificed 4100 of them so far, for what? People like you with no blood investment, but "patriotism" without substance make me sick.

The Secret Service removes hecklers during his speech on the 4th? Since when is the Secret Service a politically interested organization? The people of America should be very concerned about this issue.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President. We wish you the best and many many happy returns.

God Bless you Mr.President! Wishing you much happiness in the year ahead! From a life long Democrat.

Happy Birthday President Bush! Even though we're ideologically different, a moment like this calls for cheerful felicitations!

-THANK YOU BRINGING BACK DIGNITY AND RESPECT IN THE WHITE HOUSE. TOO BAD

-for a scandle free administration

–I will always cherish my experience during your presidency.

-YOU ARE A GREAT LEADER

Have you people been living under a rock for the last 8 years???

Are those that wish this SOB/AH from the same planet? "We pray you'll make the right decision". I won't start in on the ignorance of prayer, but have these people seen the country recently?

Your devotion to such a horrible person is stupid. YOU. ARE. STUPID.

Being kind to someone who has sunk our country into debt, war, a near-abolished Constitution, archaic ideology on life-saving research, etc, etc should be considered treason. Support for bush is treason. He has committed high crimes and misdemeanors against this Nation. Spat on the Constitution. And Pissed on the People of the United States. Too bad he wasn't aborted.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PRESIDENT BUSH!

NOW PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE CNN, YOU REALLY NEED TO MOVE ON FROM THIS ARTICLE AND REPLACE IT WITH SOMETHING MORE CURRENT!

IS THIS A SLOW NEWS DAY?

VIVA BUSH

LOVE YOU MR. PRESIDENT

THE BEST PRESIDENT A SOLDIER COULD HOPE FOR/

Happy Birthday Mr. President. Thank you for doing an excellent job as President. People don't realize how difficult it is being president but your good work will be realized by all. It just might take a while for people to notice it. Thank you Mr. President and all the best.

Happy birthday, Mr. President

Obama '08

Hey BUBBA!

Are you there?

I thinkl not!

YAA! 62. Maybe he will retire. He can legally draw early retirement

Whoop de doo. A nice birthday present to the people of this country would be to see Bush & Cheney both impeached.

President Bush is an insult to the world!

Happy Birthday Mr President. You tried your best to lead our country to a better future, but it definitly did not work out. You were compleatly disconnected from the reality, and waged a war with Iraq, which allowed Iran to dominate the Iraqi landscape. Voters, please do not be foolish enough to give a another chance to warmonger. Haven't we learnt enough ? Vietnam, Korea, Iran contras, and South america (Banana wars)

Live long so you can see what a mess you made for generations.

Happy birthday President Bush!
God bless your.

How he can still afford a smile is a mystery!!

Happy Birthday President Bush:
Forgive the liberals for they know not what they say or do.
History will say you were a great leader.

Happy Birthday Mr President.

While you are enjoying your special day, I hope you take the time to reflect on that although your approval ratings are low due to your honorable decision, NOT to quit in the middle of a fight with terrorists. Just remember the DEMOCRATIC LED CONGRESS is a hell of a way further down than yours.

Happy Birthday Mr President, History will be very kind to you indeed.

Whoop dee dooh.

Oh and Mildred – I hate to see what your definitions of "dignity and respect" are because he sure has not shown that to the American People.

Happy Birthday! You're still the worst President ever, and I will be eating a big piece of cake the day you leave the White House.

Happy belated birthday Mr President. US is going coconut. Get over it!

Mr. President,
Thanks for visiting us onboard the Abraham Lincoln at our request! I pray the rest of the world get to see the good in you as we have. Serving in the Navy has been a blessing for me, and even better under your leadership.

God bless you with many more birthdays.

Dear Mr. President,

-Thank you for catching Bin Laden.
-Thank you for protecting the American people (except that one day in 2001, hey even god needed to have a day of rest).
-Thank you for keeping us out of Wars (except for the War on Terror, Afghanistan and Iraq).
-Thank you for not raising taxes (don't worry about the devaluation of our currency).
-Thank you for up holding the Constitution and International Law (except for the torturing and spying which you have done).
-Thank you for keeping the oil pumping (I know its now expensive but it beat running on electricity and corn).
-Thank you for relying on our scientist (I mean all Countries still need oil, no way Brazil is totally energy independent and we the USA are not!)
-Thank you for yor wonderful appointees (I love how the Justice department will only go after Dems).

Happy Birthday and Good Job Mr. President.

Can any of you bed wetting liberals provide any facts on how bad the President has been. No DNC talking points or parroting George Scoros's lemmings. Well that's what I thought you know nothing but hate.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President !!!!
Onward……No retreat !!!!
Viva Obama !!

Happy Birthday to our Dear Leader from the 23 percent that still think you have value.

My Happy Birthday wish for our President is that one hundred years from now he will have been proven right and take his place as one of our great presidents.

Happy Birthday Mr. Presisent, and many more where that came from!!!

Happy birthday Pres. Bush. Hopefully, you'll take the time to reflect on the fact that the decisions you have made have unnecessarily denied many of our valiant young service people something as simple as another celebration with a little coconut cake (not to mention the innocents abroad that have paid for your folly/greed with their lives).

Happy Birthday, President Bush!
I didnt vote for you, never could!

But I think you have a nice Family...

Birthday wishes to one of the few presidents that has had the courage to follow his conscience and not the polls. And for those of you worried about the gas prices and the American economy, how about celebrating the prez's birthday by trading in your 13 mpg SUVs or your Toyota? Ever thought the mess we have we may have created ourselves?

Happy Birthday President Bush:
Today is also my Birthday and this is the only thing we have in common. Have a good one. I wish you many more.

OBAMA 08

Happy Bday George! Now get out!

Happy B-day to you, even idiots deserve a good wish or two. Now hurry up and just go away.

Obama 08 & 12

Wonder what sort of farewell will be given to Obama, if elected, when he leaves office? I imagine a lot of his supporters might curse the day they voted for him. A disaster yet to come...

McCain for Prez!

It's too bad that the Republicans are spineless!

Dick Cheney would be impeached!

George Bush would be impeached!

Anyone, but McCain!

Vote BOB BARR!

Don't kill when you have a Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Mr. President! I second what Janey from Michigan wrote.

He is celebrating this B-day aboard of the Force One, because he knows that his birthday wouldn't be popular among of many people and he can end up with the wishes he was not looking for.

Hey liberal bloggers. Why can't you all grow up? Seriously, you can get behind someone of your own political party, but you can't get behind the executive leadership of our own country. Our country is more important than any political party, and I'm all for NOT changing what our country was founded on.

So, If Obama tells you he wants change, Tell him you don't have any!!!

...and President Bush is an insult to the world.

Happy Birthday President Bush!!! WOW, finally a report about Bush that is a positive one. Thank you CNN.

Here's my 4 reasons why Bush was a great president.

Liberated Afghanistan. (a new ally of the U.S)
Liberated Iraq (a new ally of the U.S)

Appointed 2 great supreme court Judges in John Roberts and Samuel Alito.

To all of those of you who hate Bush and think he will go down as America's worst president.......................just wait. Once Iraq is a successful democracy, Bush will go down in history as one of America's better presidents. And I know all the liberals want our military to lose more members in Iraq just so they can complain some more. Well, I can't speak for other people, but I hope that our military comes out victorious in Iraq, and that the Iraqi people finally have a free democracy to live in. That is what I hope for. If only all of congress would get behind our military, things would be so much better.

Yea, he is the worst president ever and has ruined our country. No doubt about that! But, he is human and a Christian. So I will let his disater ways go.....God will forgive him, no reason I shouldn't.

Obama in 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obama will get the US back on track!!!!!! Mcain wil not!!!!!! Mcain is GW Bush Jr...................

OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

who cares Bush is an idiot. McBush was attending to his party?

To the biggest coward in america!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please go away

What a joke who cares. We need to impeach, prosecute and execute all the traitors who helped coverup 911 and bring us the Patriot Act, illegal wiretapping etc..What a Tyrant we have in Bush/Cheney..

Big Whoop! MY heart and thoughts and prayers go to the over 4000 Americans (and the other innocent folk all over the world) who will never have another birthday thanks to him and his administration (and to their families, of course).

¡Feliz cumpleaños a ti!

I don't care what the polls say, Americans have a LOT to thank you for, Sir...a resilient economy despite having inherited a dot com crash thru no fault of your own; a war that we are WINNING; unwavering defense for the innocent unborn; and no sexual scandals in the White House for 8 years.

History will be a better judge of your presidency, Mr. Bush, than the prevailing winds of popular sentiment. Thanks for being our leader!

For the last 8 years he's had his cake and ate it too. All at our expense. John McCain was probably with him eating cake too and planning how to make it harder for us the 3rd Bush term.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my fellow Cancerian. I don't agree with ANYTHING he says but a birthday is a birthday. It's too late to turn back the hands of time.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

Your leadership in the face of emergencies at home and abroad has been truly inspiring. While we may disagree on some things, I could NEVER imagine the pressures and difficult decisions inherent in your position. You have my respect and admiration.

May God bless you and your family. Or, in another language you're fond of, ¡Que Dios le bendiga!

Since I can't say anything nice. I won't say nothing

Give us a birthday present and resign.

Please begin impeachment proceeding now.

9/11 happened on his watch.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SIR. MAY YOU BE BLESSED WITH MUCH PEACE AND PROSPERITY IN THE COMING YEARS OF YOUR LIFE AND MAY YOU CONTINUE TO LEAD THIS NATION TO THE FIGHT WE HAVE TAKEN ON. YOU ARE THE GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER IN MY BOOK. FORGET WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT YOU THEY ARE IDIOTS ANYHOW. AGAIN HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT BUSH!!!!!!
OH WHAT THE HECK MANY HAPPY BIRTHDAYS TO THE GREATEST MAN TO LIVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't hurt to have some manners. When it's in the news that someone is ill or has died or that they have a birthday or other milestone in life, try keeping the animosity at bay. Must every opportunity presented for comment be used to express enmity?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU SIR. MAY YOU BE BLESSED WITH MUCH PEACE AND PROSPERITY IN THE COMING YEARS OF YOUR LIFE AND MAY YOU CONTINUE TO LEAD THIS NATION TO THE FIGHT WE HAVE TAKEN ON. YOU ARE THE GREATEST PRESIDENT EVER IN MY BOOK. FORGET WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT YOU THEY ARE IDIOTS ANYHOW. AGAIN HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT BUSH!!!!!!

As they say, I guess it is now official!! Double your IQ eh!!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Thank You. Mr. President, you led the country down. Your tax cut enrich more Rich people, millionaire with tons of stock in oil I think Bush is doing a fine job as President. Anyone who has anything bad to say about him is a traitor to America.

God Bless President Bush and his party, for rich people. Rich people: make sure to vote for John McCain in November to have another Bush for another 4 years in the White House!

Yawn.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

happy birthday mr. president and i hope you have many more at your ranch in crawford texas. god bless!

Happy Birthday to the man who gave the whole world reasons to despise and hate us. He is only human. May better days dawn over Washington after his legislature finally has come to an end.

According to the polls 109 miliion Americans STILL approve of his job in office.

Amazing but true.

Thank God it's almost over.

God bless President Bush! Our last president took this nation into the sewer. " Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." (Proverbs 14:34) Many like to make Pres. Bush the scapegoat for all the ills of America. He isn't perfect, and we aren't either. I believe his actions have kept more 9-11 tragedies from happening. No one likes war, (my son is in Iraq,) but I prefer the war is somewhere other than our shores. Happy Birthday, President Bush. May God bless our nation because of your strong leadership.

He is so disconnected from what is really going on – if he had any appreciation for he has done to our country he would give us a birhtday present and resign. He should have been impeached for what he has done. I doubt seriously if even he knows what the people of the country actually think of him.

We are in the war, gas goes up $4.00... We have to work till 70s to get our retirement?. All because of Bush. I do not think he knows people do not like him as our president.

Anyway, I wish him long live to 120.

I hope he gets something better than what we got for our birthday....a $1 trillion dollar debt.

Please stop Romney from destroying social security !!

Next year on this day we can celebrate that we no longer have probably the worst president in U. S. history.

Please Mr. President if you can't do any good thing please save gasoline atleast,,,,sit in office,, don't fly anymore

My birthday wish for Bush is that he rubs those two brain cells together really hard and figure out a way to get is out of the mess he put us in!

I think we all forget the gravity and difficulty of President Bush's job sometimes. He may have made mistakes, but he has one of– if not the– hardest job in the world, what with media attention and all.

So have a restful birthday, Mr. President.

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Yes your a loser
and you can leave office too.

Good riddance , good for nothing

Mr. President, Happy Birthday. You have been great and you have never wavered. Look at Obama. He is now thinking of refining his policy for iraq. He is a fliflopper. We cannot forget such cheap candidate from Democrats. He has Jeremiah Wright to support him. He has a long way to learn something. With just 1-2 years in senate without any accomplishments, do you qualify to be our president. Carmen fropm Colorado is saying who cares? I care for my country and I cannot see Obama to become our president. He is a zero.

Happy Birthday, Pres Bush! May God bless you with many more to come! Enjoy your retirement and thank you for keeping us safe from more terrorist attacks. The history books will be kind to you, even though the media and rabid liberals have blamed you for everything from the tsunami to Katrina and everything in between. God bless you and your fine wife, Laura, and GOD BLESS AMERICA !!!!

HEY, how about that, I wonder how many G.I.'s in iraq never got to see their next birthday. But gee whiz , by all means, go ahead and celebrate you draft dodging coward. You should have to spend one year in hell for all the missed b'days of those G.I.'s.

who cares 4 more months til we have someone else in the white house. bush made everyone in the usa poor!
we are like a 3rd country!

Who's policies have kept Al Qaeda out of the U.S. for the past seven years? Pick one:

a) Barack Hussein Obama

b) George Bush

Want to CHANGE that?

In 2000, we weren't in great shape because of the Net bubble bursting, but we were doing OK. Now, in 2008, our country is in the toilet according to every category and indicator available: unemployment is soaring, the Dow is sinking, the war drags on, gas is through the roof, and most importantly, the average American is more depressed about our nation's shape than in a long time.

To the people posting here, talking up Bush's performance and thanking him for a "scandal-free administration" (yeah right).... exactly what cave in Afghanistan did you just crawl out of?

Let's see what he is doing when he turns "64"

Do you think though now that he is 62 and he will be "retiring" soon that he will be able to get partial social security? Or will he opt to wait until he is 65 to get full benefits? Will there be benefits when he is 65? Golly, lots of questions! Here's another one. I have been paying into Social Security since I started working (16) – I am 42 years old now. Do you think by the time I am ready to collect what is due me there will be any left? If there isn't anything left in the SS Fund, what happened to all my money?

Would I be able to take the Unted States Government to Court and demand that all I put into my retirement fund through our Great Governemt (which I had no choice but to do) be given back to me? After all, I am entitled to it – that's what I was told.

People are responsible for "false advertisement" shouldn't the government be too?

Bush celebrates his birthday by spewing CO2 all over Japan, a country with a stronger economic system then the US and still has 1/10 of the emissions that the US has.

How appropriate...long live fossil fuels say BUSH

While he is flying on Air Force One, our heroes are flying in helicopters that are from the Nam Era. Shame on him!

We should all thank Pres. Bush for keeping the pressure on Al Qaeda
and keeping them out of the U.S. How many of you would like Obama to change that scenario with you having to drive your kids to school in an armored car and wear flak jackets to work?

Think BEFORE you ask for change.

Happy birthday Mr president.
I pray that you have many many more.and thank you for keeping our country safe since 9-11 thank you for not being a coward.thank you for all your moral thoughts and for the way you have stood up to your faith in our lord JESUS christ....yes we are in a war and everything is sky high ....but....how many preidents have we had that were war presidents and fought the war without spending money? keep your faith MR President there's a lot of people out here who still love you.
HAVE A GREAT DAY
Phyllis in nc

Congrats scumbag, you will go down as one of the most hated Presidents in American history!

Bush=McSame

Can we 'surprise' him perhaps with an impeachment?

Bush is still in the news? He's been a lame-duck president since 2006. At that time his own party stopped listening to him.

Happy Birthday Mr. President!

The more I hear from the obfuscating Obama the better you look.

We are winning in Iraq. History may just give you kudos yet!

Former Democrat voting for McCain 08!

Happy birthday to President Bush. Thank you for not only respecting the office of the President of the United States but for extending respect to past occupants of the White House, and always speaking respectfully to others even when they don't speak respectfully to you. May you live to be 120 and see your great-grandchildren. You and Laura are excellent examples of good parents...and leaders.
Too bad so many people have allowed themselves to be filled with hatred for you. No one except ourselves can put hatred or anything else into our hearts. No one can blame you for that!

Since he is on his way to Japan, his birthday present to us is leaving Chaney in charge. I shudder at that thought.

we can all hope his next b'day will be behind bars

Happy Birthday President Bush!

coconut cake?....................... how appropriate.

Thanks for nothing!

You've run up the debt to over $8 trillion, you're spending over $10 billion a month on a needless war, you've depleted the military and left us less secure, you've shreded the Constitution, you've enriched your crony friends, you've appointed judges who will progress back 100 years, you've given us a "Daddy state", and you've given us a Soviet style gulag, complete with their torture tactics.

Happy B day

Congratulations to President Bush. It doesn't matter whether you love or hate him or his policies, we should all be respectful to him on this his "Happy Birthday".

thanks to the illiterati coming out and butchering the english language in wishing premiere bush a happy birthday. fortunately you all won't have much to write about when Obama is president. bush will be remembered for as many great contributions to this country as dan quayle (crickets chirping.)

there are so many haters in here. Geez- give it a rest for once

Happy birthday, you silly and sad president. All you folks singing this guy's praises are drinking drano.

I can't wait until I never have to hear about this guy again

JOHN MCCAIN AND JOE LIEBERMAN HOLD HANDS!not that there's anything wrong with that,but?

Happy Birthday Mr. President!

HEIL BUSH!

Happy Birthday, Mr President. I hope you and your fellow G8 members will fulfill your promises to Africa – home for some of the poorest people in the world!

Is this actually news? And I'd like to know if the Bushes themselves paid for this party or did it come out of the coffers of the public?

happy birthday,mr. president!i hope your next one is spent in solitary confinement.

AT LEAST HE"S BETTER THAN NOBAMA!!!
HILLARY/MCCAIN/BUSH

Happy Birthday, President! Ten years down the road all of us inpatient Americans will look back at a free Iraq and finally admit that the decision you made to put soldiers in Iraq was a brilliant decision.

Obama will proably take credit for it though......LOL.

Who cares? There are a lot of people that have birthdays everyday and can not afford their prescription, food, to pay their bills because of some moron.

yeah, happy birthday...i guess the one good thing i can say about Bush is if he wernt such a bad President, there might not have been a chance of the US seeing a woman and an African American running for office...and wining

congratulations on keeping a patriotic stranglehold on the idiots that still look up to you in this country, I misunderestimated you

Happy Birthday, Dubya!! Hope you have many more... far, far away from the White House. I have you live for MANY, MANY years... so you can see and experience the impact of all the havoc and criminal activities you've been responsible for being POTUS. I hope you realize that our nation is suffering and is in the TERRIBLE state it's in because of YOU and YOUR ADMINISTRATION!! Heck-of-a-job, Dubya!! History will remember you... oh yes, it will without a doubt!

Happy birthday dim whit

All the comments that I have just read are mostly negative and some people wonder why is this news. I guess for the same reason that CNN chose to do an article about Obama wearing jeans, having only four pair of shoes and it goes on and on. CNN sure does suck up to Obama, I wonder if they know what kind of toothpaste he uses. Whether you like Bush or not, he is still our President and we should respect the office. It is a disgrace the way people are bashing Bush all the time. I understand the frustration with him but how do other countries look at our American people who are constantly critical of our President. How un-american.

Happy Birthday! Mr. President. No matter what the polls say, you are very popular among many Americans. We thank you for keeping us safe, for very low employment, for low taxes, for a scandle free administration, and for not lowering yourself to the media's constant lies about you.

Oh, what a joker he is! He doesn't want to insult the Chinese because of a few games, but has no problem slaughtering multi-thousands, including defenseless, helpless little children. By the way, patriots, war isn't for good for the planet as well But then, that's Bush and his DUI - such ethics, care and regard for Earth, his fellow mankind and all of Holy Creation.

I hope Jesus sends his happy b day good wishes to Bush too. Happy, happy happy.

The only birthday I'm celebrating is the birthday of America. I did that on the 4th.

George's birthday is just a sad reminder that we've had to endure 8 years in an alternative world. A nightmare world where our wonderful country has tortured people. I still can't believe it.

Good bye George, and good riddance.

thanks for attacking Iraq who wasn't a immediate threat and driving gas prices to a all time high..our country has suffered since the day you took office

The worst disaster that ever happened to America. He was not the right president at the right time. We watched train wreck after train wreck. Thank God his time is almost over.

Bring our country back, I miss it.

Happy birthday, George. Thanks for taking our country to the brink of ruination. So much so that we will vote for Andy Hardy, if we could. Anybody who's remotely different from you, and the horrible situation you have put this country through is a welcome change.

Has anyone else noticed that the same people who continually heap ill-will, hatred, and wish for an early death for the President of the United States are the same people who call critics of Obama "Hate-Mongers"? WAKE UP people! As much as you don't like to admit it...Obama is just another left wing POLITICIAN, partisan, and will say anything YOU want to hear to get himself elected. Here is a man more interested in how he looks and his own legacy than in the great citizens of the United States. As a member of Congress he is as much a part of the problem in D.C. as any other politician.

They had to celebrate the dictator's birthday. What else were they going to do? Where else were they going to go? Funny.

We're not celebrating, we waiting with great anticipation for our next president.

Tick tock George, time to go.

"Psychobetic" above = typical liberal psychobabble!

Have you all lost your minds. What are you doing to the America I left behind? Smaller government, jobs for the unemployed and wars with exit plans! Thats what I propose this country needs. And oil prices? Just cut the money, food and water off to the mideast and you will see them begging to sell oil cheap. It is the ART of negotiation! Bully!

happy birthday, Mr. President

Happy Birthday!!

Obama For President

This guy is not only the worst U.S. president in modern history, he is also the most evil man that has ever sat on the presidency in a long, long, LONG time.

Glad its his last birthday as president.

I believe it was very shameful that John McBush was not at the airport with a birthday cake for Geo. ,like good old Geo. did for him. He should have taken Larry(liberman) and Curly(Graham) with him. SHAME,SHAME on you Moe McBush . Barack Hussein Obama08

Connie"Hussein"Sturgeon from Indiana

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. PRESIDENT !

he should be shame. he is publicly celebrating his birthday, while his soldiers in iraq can't share or celebrate the birthdays of their children due to his war. he should really be careful of what he says and does. he looks very detached from reality and waving thank you's from a plane on his birthday looks rather elitist to me. give me a break. mr. not much of a president.

I cant wait til he is not traveling on our ticket any more. No more Bush administration policies. No more G.W. Bush...No more Chaney. They put us back a couple decades...Now it is time for a democrate to bring us back to being a positive role model to the world. Bring balance. God bless America. Home of the free. Regardless of what party you may belong to we are a proud poeple and unite when the going gets tough.

Happy brithday Mr Bush, I really done like your policies but one thing I thank God for you for, is for helping Liberia. Mr president I wish you long life and God blessing.

To Janey/Michigan:

What alternate universe are you living in?

Item: Through most of Bush's reign we have had a rubber stamp Republican congress that did exactly what King George asked them to do. So whatever you think congress did wrong, that Bush is getting blamed for, odds are it was exactly what Bush wanted. Even now, with a dem congress, we have a large enough minority of Republicans in the Senate so it's still impossible for the congress to do much of anything unless its what Bush and the republicants want.

Item: What safety from terrorism? Report after report shows that Al Queda is reconstituted as strong as ever, while homeland security is a joke that serves only to inconvenience airline travelers without actually protecting them.

Item: Sure, we got rid of "a brutal murderous dicatator" but at what cost? By diverting attention from where the real problem was, in Afghanistan, we let the Taliban come back strong, while degrading our own military strength and strenthining Iran's hand in the Middle East. This is not something to be happy about.

Item: "Respect fot eh right or religious groups to practice their religion" Huh? You mean in the US? Since when has that been a problem?

Happy Birthday, President Bush.

Now to the issues!

Obama '08

President Bush wastes more fuel to celebrate his birthday on Air Force One than most of us will use in a year. Meanwhile, most Americans can't afford $4 a gallon gas to see our families during this 4th of July weekend.

Happy birthday and may God bless you with many more years.
BUT!! I will be glad when you leave office.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT BUSH!!!!

Happy Birthday! I can think f something t wish for if you can't!

Happy Birthday President Bush !!!

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING OUR COUNTRY SAFE. THANK YOU FOR APPOINTING TRULY BRILLIANT AND PRO-LIFE JUSTICES OF SUPREME COURT. THANK YOU FOR HELPING US GET RID OF A EVIL DICTATOR. THANKYOU FOR BEING A CONSISTENT PRESIDENT ALL THESE YEARS. THANK YOU BRINGING BACK DIGNITY AND RESPECT IN THE WHITE HOUSE. TOO BAD We may not have seen you and the First Lady and Condoleesa Rice at the White House sometime in 2006 NationalSpelling BEE. But weknow you got so many important things to do than meet people from Midland . God Bless you and your Family!!!
THE R's

Before he leaves office, George Bush will "stick it" to the American public who have handed him one of the lowest approval ratings this country has seen. Paying 4 1/2 dollars a gallon for gas? George Bush sticking it to the American people. Wait and see, before he leaves he will start a war with Iran, sticking it to all of us and the wimp Congress will just roll over and play dead.

HI MISTER BUSH MY NAME IS KYLE AN D I LIKE TO RIDE MY BIKE. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Now that Bush is 62 he can apply for social security, the system he promised yet failed to overhaul. A future example of Bush being a part of the problem and not the solution.

Because of George Bush, tens of thousands of people all over the world will not be celebrating a birthday. I hope the 'health conscious' president lives long enough to fully realize the magnitude of his errors.

. HE HAS CAUSED SO MUCH WORLD WIDE SUFFERING AND DEATH, HOW COULD ANYONE WISH HIM WELL? HE IS BEYOND EVIL.

all these people who wish him happy bday are the same brainwashed idiots that screwed up the economy bu voting for him and now we have to pay 4.50 a gallon for gas!!!!

A KODAK MOMENT -NICE PICTURE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT BUSH!!!!!!

From the parents of the soldiers who have been sacrificed in Iraq and Afghanistan who would never be able to wish their kids happy birthday, Happy Birthday Mr. Commander-in-Chief.

Happy Birthday Pres. Bush. Your sevice to this country is appreciated and you shows that you care deeply. I dont listen to what the people in the left says about you, history will judge you fairly. Again, Happy Birthday!

Nice that he is spending his birthday in Japan rather than in the field with our troops either in Iraq or Afghanistan. Some of the posts on here amaze me about how wonderful a president he is, safer against terrorists, removing an evil dictator, etc. I'm too busy trying to figure out how I'm going to pay my bills rather than thinking about how secure Bush has made the world. They need to pull their non thinking heads out of the holes they've stuck them in or just got ahead and fall on in.

So happy to share the same birthday as you, President Bush - especially since you're a president who believes that every human life, unborn as well as born, deserves the chance to see the light of day and to live. GOD BLESS YOU!

I can't help but think of the many who won't be celebrating birthdays ever again, because of you.

Bush guy set up 9/11 but with the goal of intercepting the planes and being hailed as a hero; but the participants had their own secondary plan to actually crash the planes. They double crossed Bush! All because he wanted to be spared the shame of being a 1-term president like his father. Shame. "War on Terror" is a fake shame!

If you think GW is bad, wait until you get "turn-around Obama" who keeps changing direction with the political winds. At least Bush knows who he is and what he wans to do even if you don't agree with him. Obama? Who knows! It'll be a crap shoot for 4 years, but thankfully probably not 8. He'll mess up the country too much in 4.

Fuel is expensive now, but can we keep him in the air till January, please? And his stuff?

Mr President – may your next Birthday Party be a barbeque with you and Mr Cheney and Jesse Helms sizzling on the grill in hell.

A KODAK MOMENT .......NICE COUPLE .......HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR!!!!!

Let's all be thanksful we live in the United State of America, and despite some not so perfect decision the President had made, he is a very decent person and pretty good President by all standards. I am from another country originally and became a US citizen. I truely enjoy and appreciate all the freedom Americans take for granted too often.

............ "Flying-High" is what he does best ...!!!

................... with "high" being the operative word.

Happy birthday Mr. president Bush. God will bless on your birthday and always. I voted for you in 2000 but I will vote for Obama in November. Obama is the man. Yes We Can!

Get him a jail cell for his b'day!

Happiest of birthdays.
I'm sure y'all disgusted folk eagerly returned Bush's economic infusion checks.

Happy Birthday Mr. President. Thank you for 8 wonderful years!

I wish I were there, cause I would have given him a box too and when he opens it a bunch of silly gag snakes would jump out and I'd say "that's for killing thousands in Iraq you jerk!"

It was Quebec's Birthday!! First Euros to discover North America...write about that!! Bush will be remembered for reinventing the question mark ????????????????

happy D-Day...oops...i mean B-Day. I fin President Bust very agressive. If he behaves as a private citizen the same way he acted while being pres., he would probably a detainee at guatanamo bay...oops...or have life in prison...maybe even the death penalty. So many lost lives because of him. Our commader in ....I know what I am talking about I myself was in Iraq. Oh..Happy D-Day Pres.

I'm really glad to see that President Bush is 'health conscious". As our nation's leader it behooves him to set a good example for our countrymen whenever possible.
Of course it should be remembered that one of the reasons Mr. Bush can afford to be health conscious is that he can afford health insurance – something he has done his best for almost 7 years now to DENY his fellow Americans.

DM, Arlington TX for Barack Obama 08 July 6th, 2008 12:31 pm ET

Waste of money….

But that fluff piece abut the Obama family getting photo ops at a 4th parade wasn't? it was his daughters birthday and they had to sit for scheduled posed with props photos for a fundraiser/b-day party. Glad to see where his family priorities lie.

Happy Birthday with best wishes for good health for the next 198 days, and beyond. You deserve to enjoy your post-Presidential years as you are tried and convicted for war crimes, and are a recipient of the justice you claim to dispense.

Happy Birthday lamest of ducks!

Only thing I can say to this article is that GW handled the stress of the presidency real well. Looks good for his age .

Seriously....THIS IS NOT IMPORTANT!

CNN, you have the power to choose what we read about. You are diverting us from the real issues. We DEMAND to be presented honest news that matters and informs us about the world around us. We do not need to hear about this drivel.

maybe he could soar higher next year... ...like on Mars

You mean he was actually born? Rather than just spawned in a lab.

I just threw up!

While the whole country suffers because of his economic policies, he decided this summer he would insult Americans a few last times before leaving office by spending a fortune on a wedding for his daughter and now a birthday celebration aboard Air Force One. Instead of being hard at work on issues he will be discussing upon his destination, he takes time off for birthday cake. Can't wait til this child and his gang leave the White House.

Happy Birthday President Bush. Hope you enjoy your retirement from politics. You must be looking forward to it!

The older he gets, the more more stupid he gets.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President, and God Bless You.

Happy Birthday, Mr.President!

This may not be earth shattering news to any of us but several of you ask "how is this news"? Think of all the tripe we read about every move the Obamas make and CNN reports it all. I'm not a fan of George W but everyone deserves a happy birthday. Stop being so nasty.

Happy Birthday Mr. Bush. I wish you all the best. What I am REALLY looking forward to is when you celebrate your birthday, permanently, in Crawford, Texas (or where ever you decide to call home).

Happy Birthday, President Bush. You've had a rough ride - some of it your own doing, most of it NOT - just the way the world turns. Won't be any different with the next president. But, most of all, thank you for keeping us safe at home. Now let's go after the rest of the thugs - in Afghanistan and Iran! We know what they want - to obliterate everything and everyone in order to force their criminal Islamic fundamentalism on the entire world - and we know they won't stop with mere "words."

Wow. Even his judgment on birthday cake sucks!~

When is congress going to impeach this traitor?

So happy the president got to celebrate his birthday in style while a few thousand more jobs have been lost this week and the economy continues its downward spiral...

Happy Birthday, Mr. President. Despite the facts that so many hyprocrite people (including Jimmy Carter and all those liberals, not to mention the evil Hugo Chavez) have scolded you, cursed, maligned, slandered, blamed, etc. Yet you are remain strong without never ever to fight back or even gave negative comment about them.

They slapped your left cheek, but yet you gave them your right cheek so that they will be satisfied with all their evil actions. Because I know you'll never regard them (especially all fellow Americans regardless what party they are from) as your enemy. I very understand how you see your real enemies are the radical Muslims who never want to see freedom and christianity exist in this world.

Everything about this Presidency just has to be different or first timing!

*First major attack on US soil sisnce Pearl Harbor
*Presided over the Winter Olympics in SLC and to be in Beijing for the summer olympics. No President has done before.
*The liberation Afghanistan. The Russians could not do it
*The removal of Saddam Hussein. His father could not do it.
*Landing aboard a moving aircraft carrier. Mission miss-accomplished
*Gave a re-election convention speach in a stadium setting
*Levees broke in New Orleans. Really?
*First to welcome the Pope at the Airport
*First to pull a birthday party for the Pope at the White house
*First to be invited by the Pope at the Pope's summer home
* Daughter get's married while in office. Nixon's bells are ringing!

Coincidence or an opportunist?

Happy birthday George.

Now for the news. Vote John McCain a man who shares our values.

A trusted patriot who fought for his country and will now fight for us.

He will not change his mind for political purposes like the bringer of rapid changes of positions, Mr. Change Obama.

You are a SICK person.

Sit in your chair and be quiet.

And how many soldiers are going to die today?

Who care's?

EVERYBODY DESERVES A HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVEN PRES. BUSH, SO HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

He's been "pretending" to be Prez all these years.

"Michelle from Colorado"

What about the evil he has injected onto the rest of the world, including the innocent men, women, and children of Iraq that were helplessly killed by AMERICAN soldiers during ther initial invasion of Iraq?

So, please stop with your sympathy towards Bush, you're making a fool of yourself.

It's my birthday today too. Happy Birthday to us, George!

GAG ME WITH A SPOON!!!

OBAMA '08!!!

See, being president can be fun!
(Take note Boring Obama and John McLame)

Happy birthday, shrub...may you get all that you deserve and more...perhaps a long stay in Gitmo would be in order.

HappY Birthday President Bush............. The BEST gift yet........is Laura Bush..........When the media was giving Michelle Obama a hard time.. .....Laura spoke from the HEART in her defense.........A TRUE American!!!!

I share a B-day with bush, and as a registered democrat and hillary supporter i have always hated this fact, however as i start to imagine what life will be like under obama, i get scared. Enjoy the present, cause a madman looks poised to take the helm.

McCain '08

This story highlights the problem with America being self-centered.
Here's the president of the country, already being pampered beyond
the norm, presented with a cake to celebrate his birthday, and, in response, he has a "small" piece. Oh yes sure, it's politically
correct not to eat a lot of cake, but to just take a small piece
is just rude. President Bush, you should be ashamed of yourself.
How do you think it felt when word got back to the folks who
worked on that cake for you? Let them eat cake, indeed.

Who cares? Jenna Bush said she will not vote republican this year so atleast there is one smart bush.

All of this at taxpayer expense.

Crappy birthday, Mr. President!
You probably won't poast this.

Happy Birthday Mr. President!

Happy Birthday Mr. President!

I have to say, we go back Mr. President, we're tight! You remember, you remember? I remember...

Don't worry Mr. President, things will be O.K, even if it might take a while....

Happy Birthday Mr. Prez

Happy Birthday George Doublya!!!!
I wish I could send you a present... but all I have to give is a bunch of Obama for President material, that I sure you would appreciate, but would not use!!! Happy Birthday nonetheless. 62 is pretty young..... just dont be like John Mccaain when you grow up!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR: Please get to work on gas prices, and inflation. We are hurting.

America's worst President ever is having B'day when the whole country is bleeding for his huge mistakes. Does he even know that? or does he even care? What matters to him is the rich and oil men in this country are still making enormous amount of money. So the frat boy will have his lavish party.

This guy is so out of touch. Again America got what it deserved. They voted for this guy (twice) you would think people would wake up to see what the GOP is all about by now. The rich get richer and everyone else pays for it.

Happy B'Day "W". Like many Americans i don't agree with your policies but nonetheless... its your B'day... Go Shorty It's B'day. .

Does anyone really think this guy has been running the country? It's been Cheney and his henchmen. Thanks for being a puppet, George Jr!

Why is this news? Does anyone care other than those who like him?Election day can't come fast enough when we can say good riddence to Bush.

Happy Birthday President Bush! Good health and clear mind wishes on your birthday!

I hope Obama has alot of disinfectant when he moves in to the white house, to clean up all the dirt and slime he has brought to the white house.

I thought it was cute story. Happy Bday President!

I wish you happy Birth Day Mr President.
I know you are a Man of God and a Blessed President.
You are the biblical Saul of the Jews. After you comes our David.
God will continue to protect, strenghten and use you.

happy b-day pres bush, altho we would wish you wiser years ahead(only a few months to go , then a new and better president,, goo obama!!!!!!

I wonder if his wish as he blew was NOT to be tried for war crimes after he leaves office? Despite his "gut" being wrong about WMDs in Iraq, he has now ignored ALL SIXTEEN U.S. intelligence agencies AND the IAEA who say Iran ceased all nuclear weapons work in 2001, and that even that was minimal. Yet he threatens to attack Iran (who has attacked no nation in 400 years) to "stop their nu-cu-lar weapons program", again blowing off the potential for vast numbers of dead Muslim civilians and U.S. troops...looks like his final present to America is another war and a new generation of young Muslims with good reason to hate us.

I'm not one of those people who screams "You are not allowed to have cake because you invaded Iraq!", but so much of this article read like satire. "It was not known whether or no the President made a birthday wish." Wow.

Happy Birthday Bush. Years from now people will look back and appreciate what you have done for this country. Thanks!!

I respect Bush for doing what he believes instead of what's popular.

Happy Birthday! Too bad those 5,00 0dead soldiers won't be able to celebrate any more birthdays of their own...but you party it up!!!

I'm so glad we have such hard hitting stories as how Bush celebrated his birthday.

Mr Bush,

As you celebrate this day, give some thought to the thousands of American servicemen and women who will never see another birthday because of your greed, ineptitude, and ignorance. You have betrayed them, their families, and our country.

January 20th, 2009.
The United States' New Birthday

I'd ask if they hired a clown, but that would be kind of redundant.

9/11 happened on his watch,while he was reading "MY PET GOAT",and we should never forget that.

HAPPY B-DAY DRUNK PRESIDENT

Happy Birthday Mr. President! Hope its a happy one and hope that the jetlag from Japan isn't too bad!

I don't agree with much of what he does, or our government for that fact, (don't forget its not all just him, its congress and the senate too!!!!!!) but still would like to wish a happy birthday to him.

Although I don't like him at all, I still wish him a Happy Birthday!

I will celebrate come 01/20/09

Live it up, Georgie. Your corrupt regime is over.

I think his next birthday should be spent behind BARS.

To those of you who say "who cares" and "why is this news"? I will try to answer your questions.

There are many Americans who care about our President and respect the office of the Presidency who wish him well even though he had real failures in his 2 terms. It is news simply because he is the president of the USA.

I'm not "in love" with George Bush but simply feel it is appropriate to wish him well and Happy Birthday because he represents our country in both the good and bad ways we have conducted ourselves. Remember how you felt about the president on 9/11.

Simply put, in the words of the old southern pop song: "Stand by your man/president".

Happy Birthday Mr. President Bush

He's having a heck of a good time while Rome burns.

Oh how splended! Then they sat 50,000 ft above the country and had pate' and caviar all the while enjoying the high life of a royal family as the backbone of this nation is breaking slowly but surely.

Not only should he be the worst president in the history of this nation but he can't evade being the dumbest either.

I really like President Bush,always did, even voted for him.... but I certainly don't like alot of the policies that have affected so many of us in the last few years, just the same:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT BUSH

SHOWING NO RESPECT FOR BUSH IS LIKE LOSING AMERICA'S SELF-RESPECT...AFTER ALL MORE THAN 50 MILLION VOTERS CAST THEIR VOTE FOR PRESIDENT BUSH IN 2004 .so america for better or whatever...live with it...IT IS NOW PART OF HISTORY..NOT TO BE ERASED EVER...

@@@;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;@@@;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;live with it;;;;;;;;;;;;......!!!!!

Bush should be tried for war crimes! He's the worst president the U.S. has ever had...

Happy Mr.President – Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran

Congrats mr. President

You are doing a great job at the WhiteHouse.

Well, thank goodness he was at least in his 50's for most of his time in office. I can't imagine how bad it would be if he were senile on top of being a puppet of big oil, owing his career to the Saudi royal family, trying to turn America into a facist state, and fighting wars, ALL to protect oil prices. Thank god he wasn't in his 70's at least...

I wonder what America would be like if he was senile on top of all of that... like say.... John Mc Cain would be?

How about we DON'T find out what that would be like? Obama 2008.
Happy birthday Mr. Bush, now get the (expletive) out.

Lisa.......... Who cares?............I do ...............WONDERFUL WIFE MR BUSH......HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR!!!!

GREAT,

BDAY PARTY FOR THE WORST WAR CRIMINAL IN THE HISTORY OF OUR NATION BECAUSE DEMS ARE TOO SPINELESS TO HAVE HIM IN JAIL AND SENT TO THE HAGUE.

Happy B-day President Bush

are there any large rocks in texas that he can crawl under?

Happy Birthday President Bush. May all your wishes come true.

Happy Birthday Mr. President! Mrs. Bush and you are looking well these days. Hope you'll be able to attend the next President's birthday, John McCain.

Why isn't CNN showing footage of Bush being heckled at the July 4th event he spoke at? Why did I have to see it on the BBC? The only thing I learned from this is that President Bush likes coconut cake – the one and only thing I will ever have in common with this president.
Happy Birthday Mr. President. I look forward to next years birthday when there will be a new man in office – although a woman would have been better.

There's a lot of people in Iraq and the US that won't be able to celebrate their next birthday! So glad Mr. Bush can do that for himself. Too bad, he doesn't extend the same to all people.

Happy Birthday President Bush!

Now to get down to the serious topic: WHEN is the USofA going to keep the oil we're drilling in Alaska for our own use instead of sending it to Japan for "balance of trade?"

The USofA is often taken advantage of by other "industrialized" nations. It's time the USofA took care of the USofA!

John Kerry, thanks for beating this man 4 years ago. You saved the world a lot of trouble when you did it.

It was a birthday celebration in the skies, as President Bush turned 62 aboard Air Force ..........NICE COUPLE .......HOPE that you enjoyed your day,SIR!!!!

Waste of money....

HI MR. BUSH: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, I WISH YOU THE BEST AND EVEN IF I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE WAY THE ECONOMY GOES I HAVE TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IN MY OPINION I LIKE THE WAY YOU ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, I LIKE THE WAY YOU TALK AND THE POSITIVE YOU LOOK ON YOUR SPEECH. LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE YOU ARE A GREAT LEADER CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN ON YOUR BIRTHDAY AND I HOPE YOU WILL HAVE A LONG LIFE WITH ALL OF US.

ANTONIO

As a millionaire with tons of stock in oil I think Bush is doing a fine job as President, anyone who has anything bad to say about him is a traitor to America and is just jealous they arent rich

God Bless President Bush and make sure to vote for John McCain in November

Happy Birthday Mr. President God Bless

Bet it was at chuck e cheeses

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

And why is this news?

He cannot leave fast enough

Pretended to be surprised? Hes a great pretender.

Who cares?

And this is news how????? He is the most hated president in modern history and makes Hitler look almost almost likeable.

Yeah flying high and enjoying cake in comfort while the rest of us have to celebrate the daily birthday of a new spike in gasoline prices and job losses. What a stupid idiot of a loser.

I don't even care what he wished..probably to bomb Iran and leave another country in shambles.. 4,113 soldiers have their blood on this mans hands .. he doesn't deserve a wish.
My wish would be that he be impeached.. but that won't happen.. and neither will my congratulations on his birthday.

And a fine one finger salute to you sir.

president bush should not be getting high on his birthday,while flying.he should be impeached for this fiasco.

How appropriate....one birthday candle.
How pathetic that the only people he has to celebrate with are paid staff.
I wonder how much fuel that little birthday party cost the United States.
The G8 doesn't need or want him.

He wishes he had the maturity of a one year old.

wherein Bush entered and was reported to have said, "...let them eat cake, heh, heh.."

I read this artricle just to see how many family members are on the taxpayer dole in these trips in the sunset of this horrid administration. Last trip there were a few extras for foreign countries to entertain. But I guess I just should be happy enough to get rid of his lies and deceit that it shouldn't make a difference how many more we the people pay for. We do know one thing – the recession certainly won't hurt the Bushies or the McSames.

Happy Birthday Mr. President. We are thankful to you for our safety and security. We will miss you in White House from come january. I will always cherish my experience during your presidency. I hope new President John Mccain will take good things from your tenure. I know that liberal tried to bash you but they will realize it when you are gone. Take care of yourself.

Happy birthday Mr President

I'm just waiting for all the libs to politicize this ("How dare he turn 62 while we still have troops in Iraq!!!!")

and meanwhile, back in The United States....Due to the rising Gas prices....."Meals on Wheels" program is struggling to feed our elderly citizens.

So, is there a candle on the cake for every life his lies have taken?

Happy Birthday Mr. President!

Although we may not always agree, I wish you a blessed day with your wife and staff in Japan!

can't wait to read the anti-Bush comments on here...so the guy celebrates his birthday, coconut cake...oh no!!!

John McCain is too old for the USA President .and the press is taking
side with JM, they press know Obama did not change his position on Iraq

Even Jenna Bush said she will probably not vote republican. That should tell you something.

"SO"

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!

Now THIS is some serious news...

Happy Birthday fellow Cancer!!!!

Devil.

I wonder how many American families could live a year off oif the cost of a birthday party on Air Force One. Republican largess for themselves without thinking haw it appears to the people they are putting on the streets never ceases to amaze me.

let them eat cake

What Next? A Crab in the Sky!

Actually the president made a wish that was not brought to the attention of the press secretary and it was "I wish I did not invade iraq".

Dubya will give ALL of us an early birthday present when he leaves office in January.

Obama '08

I don't understand why this should be on the ticker because it's his birthday!!?? please CNN you have to do better than that.

$62 donated to the DNC in honor of Bush's birthday.

He been a good and tough President, unlike the cowardly demonrats

Bush says it would be an insult to China to boycott Olympics. Please read that statement as:
"If I boycott, then China won't give me money to spend on the Iraq war."

It was a birthday celebration in the skies, as President Bush turned 62 aboard Air Force ..........HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!

Happy B-Day Mr. President! Stay strong and well.

News how????? I wonder if he knows that gas is $4 a gallon at this point? And your reporting on his birthday party????

In anycase...Happy Birthday Mr. President. I may not agree with many of your decisions or your leadership. But, I really do hope you live to be 100.

Cheers!!!!

Yay.

Thankfully his last in-office birthday, hopefully the last for the whole family.

President Bush finds yet another reason to celebrate, whilet he rest of us suffer under his failed policies.

Nice....a birthday party before getting sent to jail for high crimes!

"Bush "dutifully pretended to be surprised" and blew out the candle, Perino said. It was not known whether he made a birthday wish. "

The journalist who covered this story should be fired, WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE BIRTHDAY WISH WAS!!!! THIS COULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO OUR COUNTRY's SAFETY!!!

or... I bet he wished for a new pack of manbaby diapers...

I just can't think of much of anything to celebrate about Mr. Bush. Except the the fact that he will be gone January 20th, 2009.

His wish? "Please, please, please don't think I'm an idiot...."

I appreciate a nice story about President Bush for a change–people are so busy blaming him for everything congress does, they forget the good things he has brought to the USA. Safety from terrorism, a brutal murderous dictator gone, North Korea pact against nuclear weapons, respect for the right of religious groups to practice their religion, and encouragement to work hard and fend for ourselves without dependency on others. Good going, CNN! Let's have more unbiased news!

Nothing is too good for our leader. Apparently he does not have problems with the price of fuel.

Thank God this is his last birthday as our Dear Leader.

I'd put him on that plane, fly him right in the middle of a warzone and shove him out. "Mission Accomplished!"

Happy Birthday! Now can you just go away??????????????

Happy B-Day

High.. Flying... Riiiigggttt..... good thing the king doesn't want to piss off our chinese rulers.. I mean they do seem to own most of america now..

G.W. : do i hear....5...6......9....Sold to China for 9 trillion dollars!!! all right the auction Amrica is now con clud id.... Laura git da grils we are movin to...oh man, where can we move to? oh hell we are rich now lets just buy a small country you cin sew the flag...itll be great!

Big deal.

As much as I dislike what Bush has done to our nation in the last 6.5 years (I voted for him in 2000 and really liked him until he declared war on Iraq), it makes me sad to hear people wish evil on him. while I am not a fundamentalist by any stretch of the imagination, I do believe that all things happen for a purpose and we are all part of God's big picture. If nothing else, maybe we can take away from this that our nation has proven itself time and again to be resilient and innovative. Usually the proving ground is on foreign soil. This time, maybe we need to prove it to each other and rebuild through caring, sharing, and thinking for a way to get back on top. wishing Bush would fall down a flight of stairs or have a heart attack will not solve anything. We are all destined to die. why don't we live to our fullest in spite of George Bush, not to spite George Bush?

happy birthday Pres bush

Big deal.. This guy we have "running" our country is basically flipping off the American people with his 20-something % approval ratings. He's a lame duck (and a lame President to boot) and will do what HE wants or what he claims the big man upstairs tells him to do. He should at the very least, fire himself. Oh yes, it is an election year and I seriously doubt the replacement will be much better. Too bad someone didn't throw the cake in the Prez's face when he walked through the door.

Hypocrite Bush! He claims boycotting the Olympics would be an affront to the Chinese people...... what the Chinese government has done to Tibet is an affront to all mankind! To the people of China: REVOLT! To the people of America: IMPEACH!

Obama lies just like George Bush! He will say anything to win voters, making empty promises.

I totally agree with President Bush that boycotting the Olympics will insult the Chinese, don't we owe them eternal gratitude and maybe servitude from our children for the financial lifeline in financing the Iraq war, shouldn't we filter our coasts for any barrel of oil we can find, and maybe sieve through the hills for any available coal, yes, we want it all now. Our children can figure it out later, who cares?

President Bush will be recalled and honored by Historians as being one of the Greatest Presidents of our time, because of his resolute and unwaivering stance on Human Freedoms and Democracy, plus his actions to achieve these Freedoms for other Nations of the World.
Partisan Democrats have shamefully tried to displace and disgrace President Bush, but they continue to fail many times over. Their harsh, disrespectful and unflattering criticisms fall on deaf ears of this Great Nation. Happy Birthday, President Bush! You have been a Great President. Never regret your decisions, for you have been steadfast and the strongest Leader ever elected to serve this Nation.

They had to have it in the air, where he couldn't see the protesters.

Come on, thats funny, no matter who you are!

What a waste of fuel (747) on a lame duck that has this country in shambels.

Good riddance to this man in 1/2009 !!!!!!

Too bad they didn't Sing " Happy Impeachment To You" and Slap handcufffs in this idiot who ruined out country. How many broken families because of his lying and decieving to make a war, are not singing Happy Birthday to their loved ones today who died in this sensless war. How does a man like that sleep at night and not feel the Guilt?????? Is there a personality test you don t take in his position to see , to me his personality is no different than a scheming serial killer, he has no soul or remorse.

happy birthday mr. president

who cares...the last birthday he'll have as president....THANK GOD...i'll toast to that

Happy Birthday President Bush. May God bless your heart and soul that you make the right decisions in life that will protect lives, and the environment, and bring people together to make a better world for future generations to enjoy.

Older, but is wiser? Never mind...........
