to Obama our President the answer is no we were not terrorist free in the prior 50 years to 9/11. What about the attack on the world trade center in 1993 and yes those people are in jail. One of the main people on that attack was a blind cleric that was living in New Jersey. Also what about our favorite home grown terrorist nut, Timothy McVeigh and the bombing in OKC in 1995. Thankfully he was strapped to the gurney and enough said.
to Texas Teacher reading a lot of you post I can only conclude you believe no republican can do any right and democrats can do no wrong. both do good and bad. No party is perfect and I only know of only one perfect person and he hasn't been he for about 2,000 years. so stop drinking the kool-aid of only one party and look at the big picture. You might find once in a while the other side might have the better idea. Not always but occasionally.

At least the president is standing on principle on this when it looks like someone was trying to buy this pardon with controbutions. the same can't be said with President Clinton's pardon of Marc Rich. His wife contributed heavly to the Clinton Library and the democratic party.

"W"

Thanks for keeping us safe and holding true to your principles.

GEORGE BUSH PAID MILLIONS TO PEOPLE WHO KILLED AND INJURED AMERICAN SOLDIERS TO PUT DOWN THEIR WEAPONS.THEY TOOK THE MONEY AND BOUGHT MORE WEAPONS. HE CALLED THIS A PARDON ALSO.

GEORGE BUSH PARDON OSAMA BIN LADEN ON THE TORO BORO MOUNTAINS BY PULLING THE TROOPS AND SENDING THEM TO IRAQ.

WOW He can't even get pardoning a crook right.

Please if you choose on of these comment... use this corrected versions!

Tsk... tsk.. tsk.... Re examine this....

Was there even an Osama bin Laden? Actually... I question even that.

Recall how Pres. Bush sat reading to school children for almost 8 minutes AFTER learning the U.S. was being attacked. Recall that when he finally got off and into the air, his plane went in the wrong direction before turning back to D.C. Why was that.... say at least about 30 minutes... or more.... were wasted while the President floundered around all over the place! Then upon arriving in D.C., his first order of business was to get his Arabian friends on a plane and OUT of D.C. and/or the country! And all that time, Cheney was hiden in an un-named location!

Doesn't all of that sound a BIT fishy to you. It surely does to me.... I mean, as a teacher, I believe I have grown adept at adding 2 and 2 to get 4! Promptly he declared war on Iraq and went after Saddam Hussein! And Osama bin Laden is STILL at large... if there ever was an Osama bin Laden!

The first time I saw Bush at Ground Zero, he walked around with a guilty look on his face! I mean GUILTY... not distraught! And I think after watching the man for 8 years that I can recognize his facial expressions pretty darn well!

So Pardon Me, if I do NOT agree that Bush has kept the country SAFE! I would suggest quite the otherwise! Call me a cynic... I am sure that I am!

Happy Holidays as we reap what Bush/Cheney have sown!

Tsk... tsk.. tsk.... Re examine this....

I hope that Bush quiet exit. He has nothing left to say or do.

the check must of bounced... can't have a pardon without a nice juicy contribution.

The border patrolmen should # 1 on his list !!!!!!!

He couldn't pardon him so he'll probably appoint him to a committee as well.

The terrorists realized that Bush has done more to hurt America and Americans than all of the terrorists in the world could ever do!

Bush caught again. He's morally bankrupt & a bigger crook than Nixon. Why the American people have let him get away with crap is beyond me. He should have been impeached long, long ago. He should just step down now and let Obama get on about the business of restoring America's former greatness.

Re-examine this......:

More people die from drunk drivers than terrorists. It isn't about the danger. It is that they are using fear as a tool for gaining more power.

Just look at the illegal wiretapping, the torture, the firing of the attorneys in the justice department. The list of examples keeps going.

Terrorism kills people, but we have much bigger fish to fry, and high flying rhetoric about freedom and safety doesn't do anything to OVERALL improve this country.

Try telling the family of the fallen troops that we have been terror free. Bush just put Americans over there to be killed so they would not come over here. Sounds more like they were served up then protected re-examine this. And cmars, check your own spelling. Its Colors not colours looser.

best description of the Bush / Cheney administration

This cannot happen again, never again can we let such self serving idiots into the white house, we are to blame, but we can keep this from happening again

Anything Bush, Rove or Cheney touches has a smell to it

You liberals are idiots. Blame Bush for 9/11? Go read some history about the Clinton years pinhead. Where were all you morons when Clinton was handing out pardons to all his felon buddies? I am amazed everyday at the absolute stupidity of people.

BTW liberals, after bashing oil companies for high gas prices, why are you not praising them for low gas prices? Did any of you take an economics course or even graduate from high school?

I have to admit that I have been totally amazed at all the negative comments over the past 6 months concerning our President. While so many people are quick to blame bush for all the problems, can any of you tell me who has really been in charge for the past 2 years? It wasn't the republicans. The democratic party also spent almost 500 million dollars over the past 2 years to discredit the Bush administration. They refused to do anything to stop the Oil speculators and allowed them to throw our country into the current economic disaster. Why? To blame it on Bush. I did not vote for Obama, but I will support Him because he was America's choice. I just think its sad that so many people are so dense as to believe the lies that have been told by the democrats. Please use the brains that the Good Lord gave you and understand that the democrats have been in charge for 2 years. Look at how the last 2 years have gone in the United States. I am afraid that things will get worse before they get better. Good Luck Mr. President elect.

Re-examine this.....if you look at Bush's FULL record, he is 0% safety. 911 happened on HIS watch. How do four airplanes get past our national security to crash into four separate places and not get taken down? How can you overlook that? Does the last seven years of losing well over 4000 soldiers in a war of occupation make you feel safer just because we are losing them overseas? I really don't get that comment of him being a safe president. He has allowed Al Qaeda to freely reign in Iraq and the Taliban to rebuild in Afghanistan. Together wars in these two countries have killed many of our best, bravest citizens. Take some time to re-examine your comment

President Bush will be looked on by historians as one of the great presidents. Its a sad day when the majority of people look at someone who has kept them safe, and blame him for the damage the Democrats in Congress have been responsible for.

Someone find a shoe.

idiot

Terror free for 100 years...really? I suppose the WTC attacks in the 90's did not count...the OKlahoma City Bombing must not have happened and Tim Mcveigh is celebrating Christmas with his family, and the USS COle did not get bombed all during WJC 2 terms in office. Silly me...

Now whose going to pardon Bush's dumb you know what. Worst thing to be called president in history.

TO: Reexamine this:

...but Bush is 0% terror attack free if you look at eight years instead of seven.

Obama will do as well as humanly possible with the steaming pile of s–t that he was handed by Bush and his team of cronies

Happy Holidays!

like always with him, do first and think later....

Re-examine this...... boy are you a Idiot we have been under a terror attack for the past 8 Years. New flash not all terrorist are from another country., Are you related to Gov. Palin? you idiots sound like your from the same village.

Did I just learn that a president can un-pardon a person?

If only "W" had read his daily briefs in 2001, there would have been no 9-11. At least he gets another chance to make ithis right.

I wish he could also have a do over for 9-11 and Katrina.

Could it possibly be that he is drinking again?!

to re-examine this.....

you say we have been free of terrorist attacks for the last 7 years? yes this may b true but we have been at war for the last 5 years, killing more people than we're killed on 9/11. 7 years of safety? what about the last 50 years before 9/11? werent we safe from terror attacks then? if bush would have done his job, the terror attacks would have never happened. re-examine that.

We were free of terror attacks more out of the last 100 years. Bush didn't prevent or stop anything. He has mush for brains.

He even "f-ed" up granting a pardon. Duh!

Enough said about this inept jerk.

Why am I not suprised? He used the same logic in Iraq. What a Idiot.

We've been 100% free from terror attacks for 7 years under George Bush–

How can Obama improve on 100%? Buy your armored cars and flak jackets now.

just like his career always the wrong move.

the guy can't even wipe his own butt without asking for help. he's such an incompetent boob.
