Good riddence. I bet he won't be able to travel abroad on " good will missions, etc". Although our history books will be altered, as is most American history whichi is a lie or altered anyway, to make him appeared not the criminal and as totally incompentent as he is. This country may forget but other countries won't be as forgiving, they have tried to arrest parts of Bush regime for war crimes and here in America we give them life time pensions.

Marty Thau- you are exactly right. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. And yes we have been 'safe' since 9-11 which shouldn't have ever happened anyway. What about the many years we did not have have a terrorist attack? But I wish him and his family well...I mean we will be paying them for the rest of their lives anyway. ={

GEORGE BUSH SOLD HIS SOUL!! EVIL BASTARD!!

God knows who is responsible for all this economy problem.......I believe Bush did what he thought was right when it comes to the war....He did not cause this Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac problem...Where were all these Senators we employeed?...What were they doing all this time?.......That was their job to bring all this problem to the president's attention and help solve it before it became a monstor.............Thank you George W. Bush for keeping me and my family safe for 8 years...............I pray you find great peace in your retirement years...........

The American people are partly to blame for Bush's failed presidency. His Texas record as Governor was dismal but his questionable track record was ignored and he was elected in a highly controversial election that many people believed was rigged. From day one he had no credibility, was fueled by ideology, and refused to acknowledge the needs of 50% of the population. Good riddance Mr. Bush!

i wish you and your family a good life president bush.

His legacy will be in creating a greater need for "soup kitchens", destroying the world economy, leaving the nation trillions in debt, and leaving thousands dead in an unnecessary war while he saunters off to man the grill and clear brush in Crawford. Presidential library? Just get a backhoe and save us all from having to see that blot the landscape.

It's his fault!

The President is the one responsible for the recession and NO ONE can say otherwise.

I hope the constitution is amended to allow Obama 16 years in the White House to correct this mess.

Oh and forget about another election for the next 16 years – it will take allot to fix this nation and only Obama can do it.

This country will have to accept Democratic control for the next few decades!

Case closed!

larry get a clue. dumb,dumb bush and crazy cheney caused the problems we have today. When President Clinton was in office he had to clean up a mess after daddy bush. And clean up he did. People were working and were able to save money. That all changed when another bush stole the election, oh sorry, was elected. he had 1 thing on his mind WAR. bush/cheney are liars, cheaters and war mongers. Its too bad it took 2 terms for people to realize he was a total loser.

His legacy is a right-wing, absolutist-christian-bigot, war mongering lunatic who destroyed the world economy!

President Bush must navigate a treacherous post-presidency? Well he has the advantage as he created it. While I seriously doubt it, I hope he took good notes as he was creating his MASTERPEICE.

Since you wouln't allow what I just wrote – what Flex said.
Couldn't have written any better!

20% THINK THINGS ARE WELL IN THE COUNTRY.MUST BE NICE!!! WELL US PO FOLKS DON'T THINK SO,MOST OF US ONLY LOST OUR HOME,JOB et,et,et.MUST BE THE 20% THAT THINKS HE'S DOING A GOOD JOB. ALMOST TWO MILLION JOBS LOST THIS YEAR.THUMBS UP.AWSOME JOB MR PRESIDENT.

Hi ... I'm the other Larry

Nothing will mellow the atrocities of George W. Bush

May he suffer for all the pain he has induced upon others

The man deserves no excuses for his actions

He should just poke anyone in the eye who criticizes his presidency. He was right on the big issues (including Iraq) and had a spineless population change their mind in the middle of conflict, a sure formula for defeat. We'll see how Obama leads during these difficult times. I'm sure he's getting ready to give away the house in the spirit of compromise, then we'll see how well America is situation against the rest of the world.

George Bush and Dick Cheney should be prosecuted for War Crimes and Torture of prisoners by a World Court. They are the most despicable human beings (I use the word loosely in thier case) since Adolph Hitler and Heinrich Himmler. They have brought down the image of America to the level of Nazi Germany, the Khmer Rouge and Idi Amin. Thier sucking up to the Facist American Right Wing Pigs have dragged the American Economy and the rest of the World Economies into a World Wide Depression. Allowing Oil Corporation Diplomacy to dominate American Foreign Policy has created Al Queda and Osama Bin Laden and cost the lives of millions of Women, Children and Men. It is time for America to own up to the terrible things that we have done to other people in the World. Has anyone stopped to think about why these Islamic Terrorists Hate us so much (and don't tell me it is just about our support of Isreal)!

It will be impossible for him to immediately rehabilitate his image. After all, he has not been a great President. Neither has he been our worst President. However, his problem with his legacy is the mess that both Iraq and Afghanistan have turned into. There is no way to "make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" so Bush should just not even try to undo the mess he made of the two war areas. Hardly one thing has turned out like he expected and in fact, most of his plans were simply terrible as plans for the conduct of both of these war theaters. A big helping of humility would have served President Bush very well. But alas, Bush was far to sure of himself where the wars were concerned so he never even tried to think through what the problems were in either Iraq or Afghanistan and then having done that, make appropriate changes. He is not a horrible President, simply not a good one. All that when he probably meant well. However, he has always been far too sure of himself. A bit of humility would have served him well, especially where these two wars were concerned. His legacy will not be pretty but probably mediocre like his approval rating is now.

The right-wingers are completely delusional if they believe that Bush will leave a positive legacy. Iraq? It doesn't matter how we leave, the stain that this war has left on our name in the world will not soon be cleansed or forgotten. His legacy is lying to the nation to get us into Iraq. His legacy is fomenting the use of torture by our troops and security agencies. His legacy is inaction on the economy. It's hilarious to hear people trying to blame Clinton–8 years later–for the mess with the economy. I guess Clinton conspired to force Bush to send a trillion dollars to Iraq that should have been spent rebuilding our own infrastructure and stimulating our own economy. His legacy will be worse than Nero's–he not only fiddled while America burned, he poured fuel on the fire.

Bush's legacy is one of lies, deceit and murder and he blames everyone else but himself for this mess. Go back to Texas hurry, hurry!

I do not like President Bush but one has to acknowledge that he has kept America safe since that horrendous terrorist attack on 9/11.

Bush had the guts to go kick the hornet's nest that everyone before him had ignored. He holds dear your freedom to post your vile, ridiculous comments.

Time and education will mellow what we think about George W,eventually people will know that the problems with the economy was inherited from Clinton,it is just like a cancer,and yes it happened while Bush was in office,but when the Republicans diagnosed the problems,it was the Democrats in congress that wouldn't address the problem and allowed it to blow up,it was ten years in the making and not Bush's fault.Depending on how we leave Iraq,as victors,or running away,will also effect Bush's legacy.

His legacy is one of sanity in an insane leftist political world. You socialists will enjoy your time in line at the soup kitchen I imagine.

If I ever have to look at this mans face again

I hope he's peering out with his arrogant little punk face from behind bars

He belongs in jail for murder ...

Never mind Libraries and legacies

If he knows what's good for him (which he obviously doesn't), he will remain VERY low key for many years to come, if not indefinitely. He was an awful Governor in Texas who never once heard the cries of innocents on Death Row. He plowed into a war HE wanted, and sat back trying to justify the death of over 4000 American troops, plus countless other nationals who gave their life for HIS ego.

Comparing him to Jimmy Carter is an insult to Mr. Carter, he may not have been popular, but he was NOT an egotistical Persident who never listened or learned, as Dubya is.

Hopefully, after January, we will watch him fade into obscurity and lament the life of poor Laura as she has to listen to his ramblings of "it was not my fault". George W Bush has a lot to answer for, hopefully he will be tried by his peers for his stupidity, but if not, his maker will surely judge him as the biggest disappointment in American history..

I can't stand you Bush hating, so called journalist, many of us out here
do not agree with you hate-mongers. History will judge him, not your
thrashing low lives.
Having relatives in the arm service, they do not agree with you. Your all a bunch of cowards, they the men and women in the service admire President George Bush, and the cowards that do not have the guts to join the service, sit home and speil your hate of this moral man.
To think he protected your yellow waffled behinds, is beyond belief. He probably can't wait to get away from you low lives.
God Bless you Mr. President and your lovely, wife, I believe in you, let these lefties wallow in their hate.

Will President Bush stop Bloomberg and the MTA from increasing fares on subways and buses.

His legacy ? an economy in ruins, unecessary wars, a Constitution violated, Guantanamo, torture, you name it. I hope he ends up on trial for his crimes.

The only way for Bush to salvage his legacy would be to write the history books, and that's not possible without overthrowing Obama and establishing a dictatorship. Oh, and re-education camps for people like me...

It is disappointing to see such hate-filled comments towards President Bush on the pages of CNN. Isn't this hate mongering the same thing that the liberal Democrats complained about when President Clinton left office? I seem to recall that when Republicans were bashing Pres. Clinton's transition to civilian life, the Democrat's bemoaned the lack of respect to the departing President. Now is the time to show how "respectful" you are to people who disagree with you.

I will miss you Mr. President. I wish your post Washington years well.

Ol' Bush won't have much to do. His "library" won't have any truthful or intelligent writing in it so it won't be worth visiting, no one cares what he has to say so his attempt to crack into the lecture curcuit will fail, and no one will want to buy or read any book some ghost writer will write for him. A failure as president and a failure in retirement, too.Totally worthless!

Just 2 commets!! enuf said. I doubt anyone even bothered to read thru .the article

justice exist in america:
There is not better way to put it.I would also say that it was never " integrity " in this president

DUBYA was alright until he met right wing GOP putzs.

What a disaster.

Bush kept you and your families safe from terrorist attacks for the past seven years. Under Obama, you will probably need armored cars to drive your kids to school and flak jackets for you to go to work. Appeasement does not work–it only emboldens terrorists.

The story doesn't match the picture!

What could this article possible mean???
George W. Bush is already in the easy street! What was he doing recently? He looks like he retired at least a year ago and not even trying to pretend otherwise!

The library should not have to be very big, does he have book or two. I did not know he could read.

His Legacy: "The worst President EVER in the history of the USA."

But you know what...the IQ of this man prevents him from fully appreciating just how much damage he has done to the USA and the world. The many innocent lives of US military and Iraqi citizens who have died defending his lying stance on the war, the total economic turmoil and the unbelievable debt of the USA.

If there is a depression we can all thank the man with no brains.

I am disgusted that bush is going to walk away with that stupid smirk from the whitehouse with no remorse of the mess he has made.

If god is a just god; Bush will be writing his memoirs from a prison cell.

it's an insult that Bush bought a new mansion in Dallas, while working people are having their shacks foreclosed on.

I hope that I'll NEVER see another Bush in the whitehouse as long as I live and beyond...i have children!!!!!

Republicans, and wannabe republicans voted for him twice. They have nearly destroyed the USA. The values party?...what a crock. Hypocrits values, nothing more. Shame on you.

Bush should go to jail.

If justice is to be served, President Bush should be tried in a court of law for crimes against the American people. His position as President is not a royal proclaimation of absolute governance. No indiviidual is above the law, not even the President.

Since many of the nation's newspapers indicate that President Bush will go down in history as the worst President that this nation has ever had, now that says it all.

FOUR MORE YEARS!

US citizenz face a more treacerous road DUE to his legacy. More dangerous workplaces, more environmental damage, economic freefall. Repairing the damage done by this man will take generations. This man will be remembered as the worst president ever.

I can sum up the Bush Presidentcy in a few words.
Too little
Too late
Go away
We've been Bush whacked!

He is not photogenic AT ALL.

The facts speak for themselves. No one wants to read his memoirs, nor does anyone want him to speak on the lecture circuit.

The man and his administration are responsible for one of the darkest times in the history of our country. He is out, and he is destined for obscurity.

Personally, I think Bush should go away and never be heard or seen again.

Treacherous was his Presidency. Treacherous for the thousands who lost their lives. Treacherous for the loss of income, homes and jobs. Treacherous for the bank and auto industry failures. Treacherous for a staggering deficit. Treacherous for those tortured imprisoned, imprisonment without end. Treacherous for 9/11. Treacherous for deceit, lies, invasion of constituional rights. Yes, we let stand a treacherous President for 8 years and Congress did nothing to stop him. George Bush should be tried for crimes against humanity.

Bush…An American tragedy that will be written about for decades.

His legacy is a right-wing, absolutist-christian-bigot, war mongering lunatic who destroyed the world economy!

Who?

This man will recieve, not a penny

for what we have allowed him to do is our disgrace

and if he retires in luxury and security

untouched......

It will prove that Justice no longer exists in this land

We have to navigate his treacherous post-presidency too – without all the oil benefits ($$$) that he has gotten.
