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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

"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.

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.

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?????

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
