If Bush is thinking about saying what Bill Clinton said was wrong, he should bring his kick me sign with him as well.

nanana nanananan hey hey good bye zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If you guys think for one second with Obama's plan's on Incomes over 200,000 at any company. Isn't going to cause Payroll problems with your jobs/ or you company's Tax position. Since most of you don't mind. Blog–Tell us who you are and tell your company at your level. Then cutbacks and layoffs begin. They can choose you first to go. Volunteer to leave now. Bills are coming no matter who gets the job. Everybody somewhere is gioing to lose something after January.

Thank You RNS for sitting back and doing nothing while me and Dick violated the Constitution, ran the economy into the gounds (but helping our fellow rich boys like Cheney, Halliburton and mc Butt boy. Thanks for not stamding up while I had our country attack another country in an unjsut way, and for helping to kill over 4,000 citizens of this country. Thank you for allowing me to destroy the moral standard this country used to have. And thank you for sending me back to my ranch where i can live nicely off my big fat retirement check I will be taking for screwing this country!

TO RESPOND TO ATTACK , WHY HAS NOT THE MEDIA COME OUT ON THIS BEHIND THE SCENES . IT START MONTHS AGO, THEN GOT SHOVED TO THE , 3 WEEKS AGO IT STARTED AGAIN . NOW IT IS COMING OUT AGAIN .

" IT APPEARS THAT BARACK IS CONSITUTIOALLY INELIGIBLE FOR THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT .

ARTICLE FROM THE JULY 2008 , ISSUE # 27 FROM " THE AMERICAN FREE PRESS NEWWSPAPER. OR ARE THEY WAITING TILL THE DAY BEFORE ELECTION ?????

Bush ought to be on his hands and knees thanking god that he won't be going to jail (too bad) for all his misdeeds.

"This is not an opportunity to recap accomplishments of the past seven and a half years," she added, noting that "even sound bites can be too short."

If McCain really was another Bush, he'd already have my support.

Bush = Worst President in the history of this country.

An arrogant liar with blood on his hands.

Not surprising. He'll express gratitude to McCain for promising to continue all of his "brilliant" policies...

George W. Bush.

Worst President Ever!

Thank God Almighty we only have a few more months of his disastrous administration. Please pray for an Obama/Biden win so we can move this country back in the right direction.

I hope he thanks every Congressman and Senator running for reelection by name. And mentions how often they voted with him. And I hope he says the word "Nucular". It would be sweet if he would provide us with an emesis moment, or just mention how drunk he is.

I can think of no other President who is so maladjusted to be in the position he's in, and I hope he drags down every Republican who helped him get to be President.

Oh yippy. Looks like tv ratings will be the lowest ever just like his Presidency!!!

You guys fall asleep and not post the comments here? LOL... well I for one admire Bush for this reaction and wish him well as he finishes his term in office.

I wish to express gratitude too for him leaving in January.

I hope it's gratitude for us allowing him to take us to the outhouse.

I have two comments. The first is regarding McCain's pick of Vice President. I think that this is an insult to women for McCain to pick such an unseasoned, lightweight running mate and then try to offer her up as an alternative to Senator Hilary Clinton. My second comment is that President Bush must discuss his 8 year term and outline his administration's accomplishments. To not do this would harm McCain's chances at winning since they are so closely tied together in the voter's minds. President Bush needs to tell the American people what he has been doing the past 8 years because frankly the past 2 years have been so bad that they are overshadowing the other years. Like all Leaders, we need to know what were his goals and what was his performance related to accomplishing those goals.

Who care anymore what this crook has to say and what he feels..he bankrupt our country and now we should listen to anything he says...

Duuh

Stay home and start packing!

Wow !!! The lowest rated President in history, McCain (the old guy) and his awful pick for VP, she is going to look like his nurse standing their with him on stage, what a crowd pleasing, get the base excited Republican convention.

Why would Bush attack Obama? How could he prove Obama was wrong? I am a Republican, but Bush has been a major dissapointment. If Obama is elected over McCain it is surely because the American people have had enough of the crud of the last eight years. This is a sad time for Republican's. I personally do not defend a president just because he is from my party. This is not football.

If he's making the case for McCain's presidential
judgement, can't wait to hear him explain away this most recent lapse in good judgement .As I see it, a VP is second in command and must stand ready at ALL times and be qualified to speak for and lead the American public on day 1.The choice of Sarah Palin frightens me .The Obama/Biden ticket is covered in that aspect..the McCain/Palin is not. Biden's experience can carry Obama but I don't think Palin's limited experience can carry McCain.

Maybe if he is a few seconds under-time he can go ahead and re-cap all of those accomplishments.

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Biggest insult not only to women but to the American people as a hold.
I know the Republicans believe we are pretty stupid and easy manipulated, but please. Even my 14 year old daughter is asking me "
Daddy, why do people think that just because she is a women, all women will vote for her; or just because Mr. McCain has been around a longtime that he's a good leader? What has he really done in all that time, that we are still where we are today?" You're right dear I said, you are absolutely right!

57 million people owe their freedom to this man. Who has done better? A great and selfless leader indeed..

Good Job McCain!!!!
Anybody BUT obama – he is a FRAUD!!!!
Bush was OK – he had more problems/criticism than any President -

Obama and the DNC are a Disgrace – what a "show" they put on – shame on the DNC for picking the Wrong, Arrogant, Radical FRAUD – he will never be elected.

Thank goodness that Monday is a holiday..at least the stock market won't go down like it generally does every time this baffoon opens his mouth

People still giving this sorry excuse for a man any credence are the ones that need to be in Guantanamo.

My hat is off to you Mr. President for taking the 'high road' and putting the saftey of our country and of the whole world above the smears and attacks on your administration over the entire 'Lies led to War' stance that the Liberals and the MSM hit you with every day because you didn't reveal the finding of 550 metric tonnes of Uranium Yellowcake until after it had been safely shipped out of the country just last month.

That's real nobilty and will go down in history as one of the humblest acts ever performed by any administration in the face of such harsh and untrue criticism.

I think it's shameful that there hasn't been more news coverage about this very important reversal.

Iraq had violated 16 UN Mandates, and even the Democrats and the press couldn't find anything to complain about with 15 of them, but on the issue of WMD they just went crazy.

Every day we had to hear the reports that 'no evidence of WMD has yet been found', then readily published the thinnest shreds of 'evidence' that 'Lies led to War'. Shame on you.

This was how the entire idea of "we're fighting the wrong war" was born, and you could have killed that idea at the onset, but it would have identified the location in the country and been suseptable to being taken if that were known.

Thank You for taking one on the chin and not playing tit-for-tat with those knuckleheaded Liberals.

The Bush Doctrine is the future for Freedom and Democracy in the world.

Go McCain/Palin '08 Down with Obama Bi(de)n Drama

He's not going to respond because he CAN'T respond. He's run this country into the ground!

Just a thought... If Senator McCain is elected president, then dies while in office, Palin will be president..... that's almost as scary as if Cheney would have died in office and Bush would have become president.

Love you Bush.

I will not listen to bush , what's he thanking us for ???????

Palin is just a trophy VP. McCain thinks he can win with his wife and VP both beauty pageant contestants. What a joke.

Gratitude for what? Allowing him to royally screw us over?

Bush is an idiot..

Gov. Palin has more experience than Obama having governed a state. What has Obama governed? McCain and Palen have actually changed things. As Hillary said, Obama just talks about it.

It's hard to respond, because he knows it's the truth.
I do appreciate the fact that he won't try to deny the facts. Thank you.

I just want to say thank you to the most unintelligent President the American People can ever have voted for. And losing my home and my job has been a very good thing. Thank You president Bush !

Whatever......

"This is not an opportunity to recap accomplishments of the past seven and a half years," Perino Said. Good thing because if the speech were to "recap accomplishments" it would be very short.

"Fallow mericans . . . ?

I honestly can't think of any lasting positive thing this president has accomplished.

Self-righteously claiming that “I stuck by my principles” he will probably live out his days clueless and content – unlike the thousands and thousands of people who’s lives he has destroyed.

One important thing to remember – no matter who our next president is, he will be a vast improvement over this moron.

I can only imagine what it must feel like when a failed President of our United States starts off the RNC with a 20 something percentage approval rating. That should give the convention a good shot in the arm. Its unfortunate that its not from a jail cell for him and Cheney.

W'S RECORD IS AT BEST CLOUDY. SEEMS IF A PILE DROPPED HE ALMOST CERTAINLY STEPPED IN IT. BIG PHARMECIES ON EVERY CORNER, BIG OIL AT EVERY PUMP, AND BIG MANUFACTURING IN CHINA. WE KNEW AT THE OUTSET OF HIS PRESIDENCY HIS MORAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR OUR SOCIETY AND THE CONSERVATIVE BASE WOULD HAVE AN ECONOMIC COUNTER WEIGHT. MAYBE WE SHOULD COMPARE HIS ECONOMIC GROWTH LAST QUARTER TO CLINTONS LAST QUARTER IN OFFICE. WE SHOULD ASK WHERE THE YELLOW CAKE URANIUM RECENTLY REMOVED FROM IRAQ WENT. I GUESS WHAT REALLY SUMS UP THIS MANS PRESIDENCY WOULD BE ONE OF THE MOST DEFINING ENIGMAS FACING HIS DETRACTORS. THAT BEING: HAD AL GORE WON THE ELECTION WOULD BIN LADEN HAVE NEVER KILLED THREE THOUSAND PLUS INNOCENTS????? THIS EVENT SHAPED HIS PRESIDENCY WHETHER ANY ONE LIKES IT OR NOT. WHAT WOULD GORE HAVE DONE WHEN WE WERE ATTACKED WITHOUT PROVOCATION AND PLUNGED THIS PRESIDENT FRONT AND CENTER. BEFOR WE DECIDE HIS LEGACY WE MUST ADDRESS WHAT GOT US TO THIS POINT. DO THE MATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Palin is not change... she is strange! Palin is, well, Dana Perino. A pretty face that explains away terrible Bush/McCain policy in action. John Mccain thinks any woman will do. He is a sexist!

With our troubled economy, Romney was the intelligent choice for McCain. I think McCain's insane for not doing that! Most of us republican's were hoping for that, if his people, or he himself ,had listened to the people he wants to represent.

Without Romney, they lost my vote here!

Susan Eisenhower is a republican who is changing parties, as are many other's, who know the same old...same old isn't going to work! Adding a female "hunter" to the ticket –last minute, only shows McCain's desperation! We need someone who thinks before he acts!

There may be SOME disenchanted Hillary fans, but Palin is opposed to the issues that matter most to these women -and they are smarter than that! I would have liked to see Hillary on the ticket, but life goes on and women– especially– can move past this and see that we need change and that McCain's record proves he will go on forever with the same OLD and we can't afford that!

I think the Obama party is energized, will unite and will also bring over many Independents and Republicans. It really IS "time for a change!"

Maybe I will have to wait in long lines for medical care, but at least I'll have a line to stand in.

Right now, I'm afraid to even go to the doctor, because if they discover something serious, it will bankrupt my family, be considered a pre-existing condition and I will end up uninsurable.

Maybe I will pay higher taxes; to help people in need, improve health care, the economy, develop other sources of energy, improve education and not line the pockets of big business and crooked politicians! McCain didn't even bother to vote on a recent bill that affects many of our elderly - our parents, friends, loved ones! Teddy Kennedy, against doctor's advice cared enough to go and vote. What was McCain doing, taking a nap? Wake up America!

Add me to the list of Republicans for change! I'm voting Obama!

7 1/2 years of accomplishments? Let's see:
(1) An illegal war in Iraq and heading towards $1Trillion in cost with +4,000 dead American soldiers and +10,000 wounded or maimed
(2) Lost focus on the real enemy regrouping in Afghanistan
(2) High unemployment and -$2,000 ave. American worker income decrease since taking office
(3) $4 gasoline and $5 heating oil
(4) Housing values plummeting
(5) Millions of lost jobs at home and sent overseas
(6) NO alternative energy policy -He is an OIL MAN!
(7) Food prices soaring
(8) Medical care costs through the roof

Bush desecrated the office of the President, he has fouled our global standing. He very likely could be prosecuted for high crimes against the Constitution after leaving office. The hard the facts are already showing he will go down as the worst president this country has ever seen. We can not stand 4 more year of his policies in the form of John McCain. Why would a Republican even want this?????

Elaine, you are just like Bush

AND MCCAIN

CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL

IT'S NO WONDER THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE FED UP.

Mavericks are hot-tempered and unpredictable. That button?

If he wants to play russian roulette with his own personal life, or make unconventional stands in the senate – fine.

But the USA should NOT be controlled by the likes of McCain

Obama/Biden '08 (or Barr or Nader if you don't like Obama)

As I watched the report on McCain's decision for VP I as a women did not get the feeling like, hey a women I am so happy no not at all i thought of this as a strategic move and
i feel sorry for this women who is being used her and her children will be used and it is sad that some of my fellow americans will vote for this reason, when will we finally end the reign of hell we have been in for eight years , exoerience, we must think of the people and that is what Obama /Biden care for. not the trumped up speeches that the republican make by beibg blind to the eight years we have suffered as a diminishing power. my vote will count as a women with children in need of change for the future and that will be Obama

bad move McCain bad and sad that you would use this women I am a strong Hillary supporter and I will follow her cause

Knock, knock ... Who is there? Sarah, Sarah Palin ... Who? No really, who is there?

What could a man in Bush's shoes say negative about someone else?

Thanks For Giving The Democrats An Easy Win Mccain!

He shouldn't be so modest. He should take plenty of time and recap all of his accomplishments. Here's a script for him to use. Nice short sentences with mostly small words.

1. Squandered the Clinton budget surplus.
2. Destroyed our system of alliances.
3. Wrecked our military.
4. Committed war crimes.
5. Caught the guy who attacked us on 9/11.
6. Oops. Knew I forgot to do something.

Gratitude?????????? Puh-leese. Bush should not show his face. Actually, who cares....most Americans won't be watching the GOP hatefest.

"In particular, it highlights McCain's unique judgment, perspective and experience to deal with the unexpected, to stand firm on his convictions, put the country above himself and make hard decisions necessary to protect the American people," Perino said.

Yes, all of America saw an example of his "unique judgment and perespective" today when he selected Palin as VP only to show that he is willing to throw the entire country under the Straight Talk Express. Obama and Palin's experience may be similiar but Obama was ELECTED, while Palin was CHOSEN as a pawn by an anrgy old man desperate to do anything to win an election.

I Have Voted Republican Since I Have Been Able To Vote! Not This Year! I Am Furious About Mccain Choosing This Woman When There Are So Many Others That Could Have Helped Up Beat The Democrats This Year! You Are A Fool Mccain! You Had It And Let It Slip Away At The Finish Line! Im Voting For Obama Out Of Anger!

Boy, that's a good one.
What..., you mean she actually being serious?
I wonder how she said it with a straight face.

Mavericks are hot-tempered and unpredictable. That button?

If he wants to play russian roulette with his own personal life, or make unconventional stands in the senate – fine.

But the USA should NOT be controlled by the likes of McCain

Obama/Biden '08 (or Barr or Nader if you don't like Obama)

Gratitude? Does this man know what that word means? Graditude
for what he stole from the American people. Cheney with his millions
he made off the war with NO BID Contracts.

And, at their recent roast, it was mentioned by Bush that Cheney
thinks it is funny-a joke that his approval rating is so low and Bush
and Cheney have a good laugh on the very people that voted for
them. OMG.

Communist China owns us and they can move to Dubai and forget
us. They have robbed our country mentally, spiritually and financially.
Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney 4 months is too long. Why, you guys can
do more damage in a day that most Bad Presidents have done in
a term and the American people were STUPID enough to give you
2 turms. How dumb were we? Dub ya?

Thank you Carl Rove, Hannity, Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Focus on
the Family, Pat Robertson. etc.

Initially, I wanted to say something along the lines of "thanks for nothing, sucker" but truthfully the man has done more for African issues than any other American President, and you can't take that away from him. From this Obama Democrat to the worst President we've ever had: thanks for that, at least.

Bush's legacy. An illehal war, the country up to its eye balls in debt, the rest of the world thinks the US is a joke. Wow what a legacy. Mayeb he will write a book How I screwed the US in less than 8 years.

The "How McCain Chose Palin" article was "closed for comments," so I will leave my comments here.

Several other individuals also mentioned this fact; Campbell Brown became so flustered with Bay while discussing Gov. Palin, that she lost total objectivity and credibility.

Shame on you Campbell, control your emotions on air; Gov. Palin was referred to as a "Former Beauty Queen," however YOU came across as a total flake!

Is this Gov. even going to have a chance via CNN?

I'm sorry GOP but you lost, history will be made...

God bless this country...

"This is not an opportunity to recap accomplishments of the past seven and a half years,"

No, but it is an opportunity for him to apologize for them.

To Republican commentators,
PLEEEEZ stop lying to us about Sarah Palin. She doesn't have a lot of experience and is not qualified to lead.

You keep saying OVER and OVER again that she is more qualified than Barack. Do you think that repeating this again and again that we the American people will be fooled to believe this??

Stop lying to us- this shows that nothing has changed with McCain, who selected her completely out of his own chauvinism and shallowness. There were MANY more qualified women to choose from- this is a slap in the face to women everywhere.

The newly elected President has died. The Vice President is in charge. The Red Phone rings at 3AM with a critical international incident. The Red Phone is answered by the squeaky voice of a former Beauty Queen with two years of Government Experience. Holy Crap are we screwed! Thanks McBush.

Bush should endorse Obama.

I hope as many Americans as possible watch the Bush and Cheney speech at the RNC.

The question is...If they are so proud Republican leadership over the last 8 years...Why are McCain and Hockey-Mom-with-a-Gun promoting themselves as reformers?

If Cheney and Palin are proud Republicans and Conservatives, they should be proud of the last 8 years. And they shoud take Bush and Cheney everywhere.

I hate to say this but our President is one of the worst since who knows. He makes meel ashamed to what I believe. He makes me look bad. Our President turned this country to a level that I can't remember...

For the week he was at the Olympics representing us as America's superfan, I was able to forget just for a little while how much I abhor this man. But now that he's back on US soil and the Olympics are over, I'm back in countdown mode. If God is merciful, he will speed up the next couple months so we can be looking forward to the Obama inauguration.

who cares?

You are kidding...right? Does not want to talk about the "accomplishments" of the last seven years??? I will be so glad once Obama is elected in November because I just can't take this type of comedy anymore...

She added, "This president knows better than almost any politician in America what it's like to face criticism. He watched his dad as vice presidential candidate for two terms go through that, and then when his dad ran for president, he saw it again, and then in his own campaigns, the two national
elections. He knows what it's like in high political season, and he's not going to respond to every attack."

"Perino added that in making the case for GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain's qualifications, the speech will reflect "on the role of the presidency and the qualities that are demanded by the job" of commander-in-chief."

What case?? How my beloved President turned Conservatism to a whole another level? How the GOP have changed since Ronald Reagan?? How Senator McCain can cope with Conservatives?? How my government cares about the American People?? How the GOP doesn't American lives?? How they believe they're right?? Etc...

And by the way, what about us young Conservatives?? Don't we care for the future?? Why doesn't God gives us hope instead of finding it, huh? What about us young Conservatives?? I don't wanna talk about because I feel like crying...

I am so sick of Republicans trying to sell Palin to us. She has practically NO experience in anything. (folks, believe me, being the governor of Alaska for less than two years is NOTHING compared to larger populated states.) McCain has lost his mind.

I do not trust her to be the head of this entire country if something should happen. Hillary was ready to LEAD, this woman is a joke and no matter how many times Republican 'experts' repeat the lie that she's experienced, I cannot trust her with to be a good VP.

This is scary that once again, they're trying to pull the wool over our eyes.. Quit LYING TO US- SHE HAS LITTLE TO NONE EXPERIENCE!

John McCain is a joke to the republican party. I sure hope he doesn't win. We can't have an old man that don't have all his marbles running our country, talking about war and NOW picking a person without a lick of experience.

When this woman allows guns to be put in the hands of everyone we'll see a rise in crime and school shootings.

i hope we see a lot more of gw bush on court TV.

With all due respect to Our President, if George Dubya wore a dress, his name would be "Palin."

For us letting him wreck our country?

Good bye Bushy! It's about time. You will go down as one of the, if not the, worst president ever.

McCain is about to follow as one of the worst presidential candidates for the GOP, especially with this VP nomination

By the way, I am a Clinton supporter who planned to not vote at all in this election. However, because McCain has disrespected women every where by his poor VP choice I will be now voting for Obama.

Bush disrespected women and women's rights. McCain picked his VP based solely on her gender. Why else would you pick someone you only met once and whom never campaigned with you to be your VP? You underestimate the intelligence of women.

I'm all for history but not simply for history's sake.

I would like to thank all the drunken bands of merrily liberals that have been spewing mindless hate over the last 8 yrs. You have help revealed yourselves and the corrupt media as nothing more than far left ideologs whose idea of change includes squashing all diverse thought. And you call me evil? Pinheads..

It doesn't matter what he says, no one is listening to him anymore.

Aw, is he going to thank the 16 people who still support him? That's cute.

President Bush will pander to the fear element of the hockey, soccer or every other sport Mom's! We may as well be endorsing THE EMPEROR FROM THE DARK SIDE (aka Dick Cheney) for President of the USA.

Too bad that McCain has to listen to this VILLAGE IDIOT give a speech at his (John's) convention!

VOTE BOB BARR! VOTE BOB BARR! VOTE BOB BARR!

it's a gamble...
Historically, most PRES/VP combo tickets are former rivals, and do not necessarily like each other, but are thrown together to complement the other in their weakness...Obama/Biden is true to that heritage.
Remember after inauguration the P and VP are never in one place at the same time.

But to not know much about your running mate.

very interesting.

I am looking forward to this speech and the convention... At least John McCain does not want to start a war in Pakistan like Barack Obama does.

We will forever be in Bush's debt.
