CNN

NO more Bush! And that goes double (unconstitutional) for Jeb!

One heckava celebration on 1/20/09! End of an error.

Great! Now Bush is being accused of being a bad president because "he was more like a Democrat than a Republican". Jesus, some of you people still cannot admit how badly the Republican party and Bush screwed up. You people are true sociopaths. The stand he took against terrorists (atfter 9/11?) is the same action any president would have taken after our nation had been attacked, dummy. The difference would have been that Bush went after the wrong bad guy when he tricked Congress and the American people into invading Iraq. Anyone else would not have had been so stupid and dishonest.

All I have to say is...good riddance to bad rubbish. January 20th 2009 can't come quick enough for me!

Sad to see him go?There should be rejoicing and dancing in the streets when Shrub makes his much anticipated exit from the national scene.Let's just hope that spells the end to what has been the most corrupt and disastrous administration in history.To those who claim that Shrub kept you safe after 9/11,there only had to be one to set the whole agenda rolling.

To MadDog 2020:

We refuse to accept your bad apple! Bush is and always will be a full-blooded repubican. Don't try to disown him now that he is a failure. Stand by your man! LOL!

We don't need the pools for that.... we all have common sense...

Thank you President Bush for keeping this country safe. Contrary to popular belief, that is the president's #1 job. CNN thinks the president is supposed to look good with his shirt off and pretend to be Abe Lincoln.

Prison for him and his cronies, and shame for all who voted for him and supported Iraq invasion.

CAN'T BE SOON ENOUGH – and with appoximately 3 weeks left to suffer with this "lame duck", what kind of problems is he going to stir up before he is gone? In addition, he is a disgrace to this country, in ignoring critical issues, in ignoring the American people, in allowing Paulson to "throw money to Wall Street" (and for what), and the refusal to pardon the two Border Patrol Agents who were "thrown in
jail" over an Illegal Alien pushing drugs and doing their job! What kind of person is so cruel and so nonconcerned and does not DEFEND THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM!!

I find the majority of these comments quite amusing...ah the altrusim of the so called liberals. Let us not forget, the reason Bush was elected was thanks to your "hero" Bill "I did not have sex with that woman (3 years older than his daughter), Monica Lewinsky" Clinton. How soon the apologists selectively forget.

I didn't realize that only 25% of American's were true blue patriotic Americans

I'm doin' this tonight,
You're probably gonna start a fight.
I know this can't be right.
Hey Georgie come on,
I loved you endlessly,
When you weren't there for me.
So now it's time to leave and make it alone
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby, bye, bye, bye...

janet in ohio,

I'm calling you out specifically because your post is so ridiculous, but you're far from alone. Please remember being righteous is not the same as being self-righteous.

I DID NOT VOTE FOR HIM OF HIS FATHER. BUSH SR. DID NOTHING TO IMPRESS ME NEITHER DID JR. THE WOMEN PUT THESE TWO FELLERS IN OFFICE AND YOU SEE WHAT YOU GOT....

NOW WAIT UNTIL YOU GET THE LOW DOWN ON THIS GUY THAT THE MEDIA AND THE YOUNG GENERATION PUT INTO OFFICE. THEN IT WILL BE I NEVER VOTED FOR HIM,,,,,,,,,

OBAMA HAS A LOT TO KEEP OUT OF THE PUBLIC VIEW AND HE IS DOING A GOOD JOB AT IT. 7 JUDGES ARE ALLREADY AFRIAD OF HIM WAIT UNTIL HE,S IN OFFICE A WHILE THEN I WILL COME BACK AND SAY I TOLD YOU VOTERS THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.

HE SHOULD NEVER GOTTING THE JOB AS PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

President George W. Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney: No scandals!, No Impeachments!,No criminal charges or convictions EVER!! (so forget it it isn't going to happen)! President elect Barack Obama keeps Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on and picks retired Marine Gen. Jim Jones for National Security Adviser! (sweet vindication for the Bush/Cheney doctrine)!! Pastor Rick Warren to deliver the inaugural invocation! WOW!! I think Obama may be a closet Republican!! Can this guy fool his sheep or what??

Janet in Ohio (with her delusionsal, xenophonic, irrational, religiously intolerant rants) has to be one of the 25% ... which explains a lot.

Everyone should bring an extra shoe to the innaguaration. Give bush the sendoff he deserves.

Now, now...let's give credit where credit is due. Without GWB, there might have been a lot more unemployed comedians these last 8 years. However, all good jokes must come to an end. Cya, George!

The only people who are sad to see him go are the kind of folks you saw at McCain/Palin rallies.

BUSH IS THE SUCKIEST PRESIDENT EVER!

Does he know how to correctly pronounce the word N-U-C-L-E-A-R?

Thank god...the man that was so inept that he allowed us to be attacked on our soil for the first time in 60 years is finally going away.

The man has been the biggest threat to america! Who needs terrorists when you have George Bush as your President?!

PS: For those saying you can't trust CNN, or you don't pay attention to CNN...I guess you didn't see this, and your comments were written by someone other then you! You people are jokes! I don't read Fox blogs...now go try to find a posting from me on them...yea, didn't think so, because some of us aren't idiots posting on a site we don't pay attention to!

Ok, I voted for Bush, but I admit, he needs to go.

But, with that said. He was, and is only one man in power. I do not, nor will I blame him for the countries problems. There are many more in congress and the senate, on both sides of the parties who need to go.

He did not create this mess alone we are in. He had PLENTY of help.
Each and every politician in Washington is, and should be held responsible for creating the bad economy. All the way back to Clinton and George the first.

Yes, Bush is gone, he needs to be gone. Change is needed. I can only hope Obama does bring the change he so expertly preached about. This coming from a person who did NOT vote for Obama.
I honestly do not see it, he filled his cabinet with Clinton era people. He has not made any major shakes or moves. Anything he has done has been political.

Again, all of you people who point fingers, point those fingers at Washington as a whole. Not one man. But then again, you people who point at Bush are probaly limited in your knowledge, have bought intot he smooth talking Obama. You can not see past your hatred and political scenes.

Huh? Bush is still around? Billy May's Commercials have more impact on people these days

I'm just sorry Bush could not serve a 3rd term. In answer to the attack on America of 9/11, he did exactly what the country wanted him to do – remember all of the flag waving back then? Remember all of the cheering when Saddam's statue came down? Did you really forget so soon?

As I recall, most of us were very happy to see Bill Clinton go also.

::To Al::

there are two major differences between Bush and Washington...
Washington actually fought, Bush stayed bunkered down in safety.
Washington fought for his and our freedom, Bush had others fight for his and his cronies personal gain.

"count me among them" oh Bush won't be regarded as a great president among the majority of the American public except on FOX news. And you are wrong he did accomplish some things while in office, to bring down Saddam who insulted his Daddy, start a war on false pretenses and make money for Haliburton a company Cheney had ties to, and probably still did "secretly" through friends, driving gas prices up so his Arab friends could rake in the dough, do anything he could to hurt our environment by not setting some kind of regulation in place to keep big corporations from polluting our land, water and air, by not protecting us from Wall Street, he was against regulation, he gave them and others freedom to do what they liked while he was in office to rape us over the coals to earn all they could. yea he accomplished alot I would say. What I mentioned isn't even the tip of the iceberg.
MadDog2020 December 26th, 2008 2:10 pm ET

I for one am glad to see him go. He was more of a democrat then a republican.
This comment is just another Republican that wants to put the blame for our economic woes on the Dems. So he says Bush was more of a Dem. Wrong buddy. The Rep were in office 8 years 8 years, don't tell me we have all this trouble from 2 yrs of Dems in control. And it was the Rep that always voted against regulation. If we had some regulation on Wall Street and controlling some other areas like mortgage loans, it is a good chance we wouldn't be in this big of a mess. No MadDog2020 it was Bush, his cronies and the Republicans that we have to thank.
Yeah you probably voted for Bush for both terms too!!

::To Slappy::

you say, "Let's see, how many times were we attacked after 9/11?"

I say, "Let's see, how many times were we attacked before 9/11?"

and, "how many of our young men and women have we lost because we were blindly following GW into a war daddy did not even think we could win, a war that we "won" years ago, a war what we are still fighting?" last time I checked, when you "win" a war, you stop figting and leave.

DANM aint he gone yet!!!!

Janet, Ohio – EVEN in the very delusional possiblity that you are right and that's what PEOTUS plans to do with the country, do you really think he'll manage to do that. Have you lost any confidence in the SCOTUS (majority appointed by Republicans) and the Legislative? No wait, you meant that the Democratic Party (at least in its majority) has a clear un-American agenda, and therefore we're done for... Soure Grapes! And what a bad loser...
BeefMasterX – You're right about Truman, he was regarded as the worst president ever when he finished his elected term and now the majority of historians see that actually HE was right, and HE had the guts to sacrifice his political career and legacy in order to do the right things... so don't compare him to G.W. Bush. Well, Bush also thought that HE was right, but he wasn't. No, I am not a seer or a clairvoyant, but let's see... his environment agenda (which was not based in science or ecology) is being reviewed before the end of his term; his international agenda brought isolation and discredit to the USA (and helped Iran and other countries that doesn't want any good to us); his education/health programs are failures...
Truman paid the price for standing for what he believed, let's see if GW Bush will do the same, then you can start to compare them more closely.

The village idiot I wish would go faster for me. I would be ashamed to have CNN announce on the news this morning what was for Christmas dinner that the Bushs had. Being there are so many people in this country out of work and are eating soup if they can afford that while the village idiot and his lame brain family are dining on turkey and all the trimmings how discusting. Jim Hall Kansas City, Missouri

I AM ONE OF THE 75% THAT WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM LEAVE NOW,NOW,NOW,.

I will miss Barney. Can I adopt him?

75%? Let's see, that would include everyone that voted for Obama and then the psycho tinfoil right that thinks Bush's problem is that he's too liberal.

That's good news for the country, since it essentially demonstrates that the GOP has fractured completely. The 25% approval vote would appear to be all that remains from the mainstream Republican base. The rest of what used to be the Grand Old Party will be lining up behind Palin and the rest of the ultra-right hardcore evangelical candidates in the coming years, thus guaranteeing their continued progression into irrelevance.

So ends the 10th century Conservative movement.

@ conservative.....

CNN is biased and FoxNews is.............????

Typical Liberal BS. You want to talk corrupt. Looking at the man the liberals voted in. Grow up CNN.

GET OUT YOUR ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN ONE HUGE STINKER OF THE RICH FOR THE WELL CONNECTED AT THE EXSPENSE OF ANYONE UNDER 1MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.

I hope he can finish reading "My Pet Goat"in Leavenworth.

Thanks God. No mind man gone.

Isn't that sad that so many of us won't be sorry to see Bush leave office....he has messed this country up so badly and I still don't think he really realizes that yet!!!
I do think outside of the Presidency he is a nice man....but he was just not Presidential material unfortunately and the state of the country has reflected that.
We all hope with PE Obama we will get more confidence back and the country can start to feel some upbeat movement again and getting back to people feeling good about themselves and can look forward to the future once again with more hope.

I hear he is retiring. Good. I don't ever want to see his face again. It would just remind me of all the lies, the war that he started in Iraq on false pretenses and all the other terrible things he and his administration will be remembered for. It's best to sweep all of that under the carpet (including him) and forget it all because it is too painful to remember it.

Only 3 out of 4? I think that's kinda low.

George Bush has served his eight years....right or wrong. But, now it is time for him to go. I wish him well and hope he and Laura find happiness.

Whoops! My bad, I meant "Jeff Skilling." Forgive me, it's been awhile since we've heard from "the smartest guys in the room."

Bob – I have 3 letters for you "L.B.J." – 58,698 names on a black stone wall, all AMERCIANS, all dead in a pointless war this does not even include the wounded (I am one of those), the missing or the STILL MISSING 25 or more years later. As the saying goes "Lest we forget".

Did anyone see that little hissy fit Bush threw this morning? Something seemed to really annoy him just before he got on the helicopter. He appeared to be yelling at someone out of the shot. Then got is some guys face while walking towards the copter. Any lip readers out there?

I am glad to see him go! The worst Pres. that we have ever had!! This man has insulted our intelligence with his lies and fear tactics. He has divided the country, he has brought our country down to the stature of a 3rd world country, not mentioning the job losses, foreclosures, outsourcing, an unjustified war, etc...etc.....etc...... the list can go on and on and on.

Can't wati for 1/20, good riddance and may we never hear of you, your family and cronies again!!!

Duh! The man has a 25% approval rating. That would mean a 75% dis-approval rating. This is just a new twist on old news for another chance for CNN and you libs to bash Bush.

Okay...one thing that the Bush Admin must get credit for is the way they spent so much to try and help the AIDS epidemic in Africa. In Kenya alone, the rate of HIV is declining and this is in part to the fact that resources are no available to educate and help with medication. Safe sex is also being promoted and educatiors now have money to provide condoms etc. So thank you G.W for your good work your administration has done to try and save lives in Africa in regards to AIDS.

The 23% are made up of people like "God Help Us" who keep believing that BO is not a citizen. Churchill said "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with an average voter." A 5 second blog post from Richard Rohde and Janet from Ohio is more than enough for me.

By the time a Presidents terms are over its always 3 out of 4 that like them. nothing new there.

Carole,

Who are you kidding?

You are such a liar.

For someone who adamantely states you never vote CNN, view their network or visit their site.....and close it by saying "rarely," ( in which you mispelled along with the word therefore) with the EXCEPTION of this post, you would be more credible if you were posting at all!

However, since you are here, you must be one of those "New Liberals" trying hard not to be attached to the 1 out of 4 who will cry a bucket of tears over Bush's departure. Please go with him and take a few more like you with you, for without you and your freinds we wouldn't have 2 terms with this man and for that you should be punished. lol!

liberals are the only ones watching CNN…so threrfore the poll results. I never vote on CNN and do not view their network, pick up CNN news on internet only and very raerly.

I will miss the trademark blank look on his face.

To the people who comment on the veracity of these or other polls – Please read up on how statistical sampling works. Just because you have never been polled doesn't mean it's not worthy. (And these polls are not administered via a check box on a website.) It's not the "numbers" one should review, it's the questions and how they are asked. Really, you people should educate yourselves on research before spouting off about how unfair they are. You all sound like conspiracy theorists. By the way, polls are directional, and should be taken for what they are.

75%. Is that all?

Rick – Don't forget the new "code words" in the next few years. "Change you can beleave in", "yes we can", "spread the wealth around". We may learn to regret getting caught up in those catch phrases too. Catchy phrases and sound bites are not a one side exclusive.

I still think that both Bush and Cheney should be tried for crimes against humanity but I have learned to take my winnings as long as they are gone. The worst 8 years of any administration in my lifetime and I am over 50!

CNN poll says America hates Bush... LOL. Elsewhere in the polls, a seal poll indicates that sharks are our greatest enemy.

Here we go again, today we find someone that can't spell saying 1 of 4 Americans have an education that is " below minimum". I guess "US CITIZEN" is one of the 1 of 4 he's talking about.

LOL... that means 1 out of every four is the Grown child with a football helmet on, with Cowboys boots, still wearing a diaper.... or better known as the Short Bus Valedicatorian.....

POND SCUM!

As far as I can tell, Bush only had two problems:

Foreign policy and Domestic Policy.

The two most frightening words George Bush could ever say are:

"I'm baaaaack!!!"

"WE THE PEOPLE" these words you may reconize, no matter how much people want to see George Bush leave, it was the people that put him in office. The people allow themselves to be fool by words like mainstream america, religous belief, and traditional values, these are code words for white america. So the condition america is in is not George Bush fault, but the american people. So let us look closer at candidates that love to use these code words, more than likely their actions will be the same as the president that we have now and we see where that has gotten us.

"Earlier this year, Bush scored some of the lowest presidential approval ratings we've seen in half a century, so it's understandable that the public is eager for a new president to step in," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland."

Yeah, that is true. The way the Hierarchy works(think I spelled it right), anything related to the boss comes through the boss and within the boss. Is no surprise that so many people wanna see him leave. And since he was the leader of the GOP, that had a dramatic effect. And from there, it all started crumbling down little by little...

Yeah, I'm gonna miss him. But when you have ratings like that, not only is it not good for business but is bad internally and externally. The only way the President may revive his legacy is if he gets help from the future. Public opinion may be kinder to Bush in the long run but you do need to understand that is gonna take a team effort. How long?? Only the lord knows...

17% proves the pod people are here.

I for one am glad to see him go. He was more of a democrat then a republican.

Why is such a useless question even asked. News must be slow today. Nice to rub it in. Are you going to ask if people are going to be glad to see the President-elect too?

What else could one expect from a liberal blog site run by a biased network that panders to the hate element in the far left! Just look at the mindless PAP being posted!

I am sure msnbc will miss him.That is all that channel does is bash Bush , i wonder how long some of these so called news net works will last once Bush is gone. He has been there story line for the last several yrs ......

"3 out of four Americans glad to see Bush go". This means that 1 in 4 American's education is below minimum – this means lots of work for our new Sedcretary of Education under Obama.

liberals are the only ones watching CNN...so threrfore the poll results. I never vote on CNN and do not view their network, pick up CNN news on internet only and very raerly.

I'm suppose to believe anythng CNN tells me???? Not on your lfe. These polls can be twisted to make any outcome you want....I'm not a particular Bush fan, but I don't believe anything the media tells me after this election I've just seen...........I'm not that dumb...........

Trickle down Economics works well. It has given us 25 years of uninterrupted economic growth. The Luny Left has been telling us every year since 2001 that we were in the middle of the worst economy since the Great Depression. They had to finally be right. Only when their is doom and gloom do Liberal politicians thrive. So sad

I already miss Pres. Bush and the 1st Lady. His stand against terrorists will go down in history like those in the Revolutionary War. I also have a fear now that so many Americans have been sucked into the Obama thought process. What a shame. I think we're in for a real awakening at the next attack because democrats don't have a backbone to fight like Pres. Bush does. Oh, but we have a 1st black president (whoopie!).

Its interesting how G.W was given everything in life due to his families wealth and stature, but somehow failed so miserably. He divided the nation, used fear to carry out an ultra right wing agenda, destroyed our reputation abroad, and nearly bankrupted our economy. I'm glad Pres. Obama wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Both Republicans and Democrats have ruined this country:

Republicans for screwing up foreign policies such as starting a war in Iraq while not focusing on Afganistan.

Democrats for screwing up domestic policies such as eliminating financial safeguards @ Fannie and Freddie

Rights and respect are not given, they are earned!

Thank God and Grayhound. See Ya

Anyone ever see the Dentyne commercial where the 4th Dentist that was supposed to recommend the gum was bit in the nuts by a squirrel and screamed "NOOOOOOOO!"?

I think that just happened with this poll LOL

I think we are ready for some change in leadership. I do not hold him fully responsible for the war or the economy. President Bush is a good man and did what he felt was right. The attack was not planned after he took office. 9/11 was in the works so I am not sure how people can blame him. I think this devasted him and he vowed not to let it happen again. He stood by his principals and was not swayed by the whinning left. There are many factors well outside his control that have left us struggling. I wish we could be bidding the leaders of the congress farewell too.

Start the criminal investigations now.

Only 75%? I would have thought the number would be higher. Well, that core 20-25% of loonies has stayed steady in their insanity for years now. I shouldn't be surprised.

Reminds me of something from SNL, back 3 years ago in 2005.

"A new poll shows 66% of Americans think President Bush is doing a poor job handling the war in Iraq. The remaining 34% think Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church."
–TINA FEY, co-anchor on Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update"

I grew up in Texas abd knew from the start he would be nothing but bad news and went into a depression when he actually won the 2000 election by crook and that would set the tone for his administration. True to form he didn't disapoint. Hopefully, the new year will bing a welcome change and I'm willing to give Obama's administration and the next congress to do some good, unlike the 12 years that the Republicans controled congress and the last 8 years with this particular president ruining this country. Thanks for the misery mr. bush.

CAN THE BUSH ADMNISTRATION SHOW ONE GOOD THINK THAT THEY HAVE DONE.9/11 THAT IS WHAT THEY HAVE GONE BACK TO,KEEPING AMERICA SAFE.WE ARE NOT 100 PERCENT SURE THAT THE REASON WE HAVE NOT BEEN ATTACKED IS BECAUSE OF BUSHES POLICIES.NO ONE CAN FOR SURE TELL US THAT.3000 PEOPLE WERE KILLED ON 9/11.MORE THAN 4500 AMERICANS HAVE DIED IN IRAQ,500000 PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN IRAQ,AND MANY MORE TO COME.

75% Winners.....23% Losers.

Bush can't leave office soon enough and to think we as taxpayers will still be paying for his security for the rest of his sorry life.

I only can say those 25% said they miss Bush must be drunk or heavily brainwashed by Hannity or Linbaugh for last 8 years. Here is the things historian will see for last 8 years.

War on Terror: after 9/11 he correctly launch attack to Taliban and alQaeda, but failed to capture Bin Laden and eliminate al Qaeda. He devoted himnself to invade Iraq and let Taliban and al Qaeda come back in Afghanistain.

War on Iraq: He misled American to invade Iraq with clear objective and couldn't finish war during his term. 5000 American soldiers died and more than 20,000 wounded. More than 50,000 Iraq lost life. More than trillions spent on this war. Abe Ghraib instance forever tarnished American Troop's images.

React to Katrina: His administration failed to react after Katrina Hurricane and he was on vacation at that time.

National Debt: He doubled the national debt to more than 10+ trillions.

Economy: The American economy experienced severe recession during his last year of adminstration and he failed to prevent and react.

Other noticable things: He signed a bill for Terry Shiavo. He tried to nomonate his counselor to Supereme Court. He had solid 6 years of total control of government and failed to accomplish any signaficant social/economic/international agenda. His party lost elections beause of his fail leadership. "He was thrown shoes by Iraqi people." ....

Will you be glad when Obambi fails to protect this country from Islamic extremists? When you are arrested for walking your dog because it's an unclean animal? When your wife has to wear a veil over her face, and be accompanied by a male, to leave the house? How about when homosexual men are accused falsely of raping children, and hanged in the public square? When your eight-year-old daughter has to marry a middle-aged man to pay off a debt? I really hope all you uninformed Obama idiots are still happy then.

Mr. Bush, you have not been perfect, but you have kept us safe and free. For that, I can forgive much. Thank you and God bless you.

Bet that was a real scientific liberal poll ! Your derision has no bounds CNN!

Now Bush needs to be put on trial for crimes against humanity. Let's remember that he is responsible for the deaths of more people - including Americans - than Osama Bin Laden. Bush's needless war in Iraq has killed more than 4,000 young Americans, and tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians. And it's not over yet. If there is any justice in this world, Bush and Cheney will both spend the rest of their miserable lives behind bars.

Yes, he is leaving (thank the Lord) but i have two words that should frighten the bejesus out of us all – JEB BUSH !!! He has already told the repugnicans they must form a "shadow government" to cross Obama. Jeb just sounds so, i don't know, Nazi like? NO MORE BUSHES IN OFFICE, JUST AROUND MY YARD !!!

I'm one of the 1 in 4 I guess who will miss him.

You would have thought the Democrats lost.

It should be 4 out of 4. NO OTHER PRESIDENT IN OUR HISTORY has taken us down so low. Good riddance. Go away.

Now Bush should be put on trial for crimes against humanity. He's responsible for the deaths of more people - including Americans - than Osama Bin Laden: more than 4,000 American service people in Iraq alone, and tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians, all because of an unnecessary war Bush started based on lies. If there is any justice in this world, he - and Cheney - will spend the rest of their lives in prison.

America has learned a very painful lesson over the past eight years. Whether you respect someone's ideology or disagree with it, you can't cut corners on competence. George W. Bush was in far over his head, delegated too much to his Vice President, and may well have wrecked our country. We all hope our new President can reverse this damage, but it's a very tall order. Decades from now, historians will look back and judge the Bush Administration as the most damaging in our history.

Lip, Please give us all detail explaining your statement. Thanks.

Scary that a quarter of the country STILL thinks Bush was ok. Who in hell ARE these morons anyway?

Where are their heads (I think I know) after Bush created 2 wars, spied on Americans, ruined the economy, and eroded civil liberties??? All they care about is they idiotic manias over abortion and gay marriage.

BUSH SUCKS.... GET IT?

It's amazing what's going on in the head of the remaining 25% who are not glad to see him go. I mean wake up people. This man inherited a surplus when he left office. Look where the country is now. I say that is bad, bad management skills on top of really lazy intellectual curiosity and a really bad heart. His intention was to protect his millionaire buddies. I'm glad the truth finally showed up. I hope it's not too late.

Add me to the list of people who are glad to see Bush go!!! Now the unraveling of the Bush/GOP controlled Washington mess can begin. It's going to get worse but I have great confidence that Obama and his economic team can get our great nation turned in the right direction.

Of course, by mid-2009 the GOP will place the full blame for our current economic mess and horrible world standing on Obama because they have never held Bush accountable for anything.

God Bless America, our brave troops and President Obama!!

Let's see.... how many times were we attacked after 911?

Think Bush might be one of the 3 out of 4 that is glad he is no longer in office.

Any president though that could manage a higher disapproval rating than any Congress (not just dem-controled) these days would be the most hated man in the history of mankind (other than Hitler of course).

I see people partying worldwide and here at home the day they leave office.Lets have a parade and show them how much they will be missed.

Only 75% glad to see him go???

LIP: Bush actually really is all that bad, and he's made such a distastrous mess of not only our country, but now the rest of the world as well. Even other countries want him out. The only reason he's (Obama) keeping a few of the Bush cronies around is because they have helped to create this mess, (the wars) and now they are right in the middle of it, and have to help clean it up. There's not much of an intelligent alternative at the moment, besides leaving Gates in his post. It wouldn't make a lot of sense to put someone else in there at this point. ESPECIALLY since Obama will be bringing those trooops OUT of Iraq a lot sooner than the stupid agreement that Bush just signed with Iraq. (Why couldn't at least one of those shoes have hit?)

Dave: Even though I disagree with your idealogies, I agree, Bush and his disgusting cronies (Cheney) HAVE TO GO.I only wish the Congress would have had the balls to impeach him, and convict them of the war crimes, and crimes against humanity that they have committed. The Neo Cons have been screwing this thing up for years. Reagan was just the beginning of them though. Read Naomi Klein's "The Shock Doctrine" if you really really want to have an open mind and examine the party that you support. Actually, the GOP wanted RUMSFELD as the VP for Reagan. Reagan walked around with Milton Friedman's manifesto under his arm, and that was his ideal economic policy. Why don't you do a little research and see what that policy REALLY consists of? Reagan's first attack on the air traffic controllers, when they went on strike. Margaret Thatcher repeated this with the coal miners (only by force). I really wish Americans were more intelligent, and would dig deeper, and read more. If they only knew what our government has illicited on the behalf of "free trade".

Good bye, Mr. Bush...you leave behind a broken country. I will go to my grave wondering how you were elected once...let alone twice.
I am hoping to wake from this nightmare and find that it is eight years ago and someone else won!!

Be afraid! Be very afraid. There are 25% who don't want to see Bush go! WHAT, or how, can these people be thinking?
Reality, like the temperature, must come in degrees.

George W. Bush is the worst President we've ever had. He makes Herbert Hoover look good. It'll take 3-generations, if we're lucky to undo the damage he's done. And he can't even admit he's done ANYTHING wrong. I only wish he and Cheney were held accountable for their CRIMES!

2 out of 4 Americans want to see Obama's birth certificate.

IS HE GONE YET.thank just a few more days.and this crooked fool is gone. ASTLIVESTA GOOD RIDDENCE TO RUBBISH.FUMEGATE WHITE HOUSE.ITS FINNALY OVER.

to xcusme
still using typical bush math...

one in four, not one in three. remember, his favorable ratings are in the mid-20s, not 33% (i.e., one in three).

and LIP,
things not like bush in Obama's admin will be environmental, science, the economy, approach to Afghanistan, international diplomacy...

Count me in as one of the 75 percent. Can´t wait to see this incompetent cretine leave office. Amazing that there are some people who will miss him. Then again, there are millions of rednecks who can´t find their own state on a blind map.

Not only are 75% glad to be rid of him, but the other 23% are COMEDIANS who will miss all that free easy material he's always given them. The last 2% are Fox Noise viewers.

I will rejoice on his last day like never before. This man and his cronies have been the most despicable group to lead this country in many decades. I only hope that we can overcome the damage they have done. While I suspect that W will head back to the ranch content in his conviction that he always did the right thing, the rest of us who live in the real world will remember him only as the closest thing to a tyrant this country has ever had. While I wish him an and his family well, if he ever comes near my house I will throw all my wife's shoes at him.

Nasty human being – if you can call Bush a human being. Thanks for all you did to the USA!! Oh and by the way - 9/11 happened 1 1/2 years in his watch. He was playing with children at the time - and morons thank him for keeping the country safe??

These people are as ignorant as their leader!

I can't wait to buy Bushes memoirs because .I got a set of new crayons for Christmas Peace-out mike

Even though I am young democrat, I would like to see the republican party become a more viable option. It would be nice, if they could come up with ideas that can ensure that our country remains elite. We'll only remain on top if we have better science programs, better education programs, and a better economy. It seems like the GOP is only concerned with improving Sunday school programs. By the way, we should check to see how Sunday schools have done since Bush took office, maybe that could be his saving grace for his legacy.

I'm very glad to see him go! Maybe we can all take a deep breath and move forward out of the mess he put us in.

I think it is more like 4 out of 4, if people will be honest. Only a fool cannot recognize the mess this man and his people have dug us into! It is only the stubborn and illogical who cannot admit they were wrong.... or bamboozled is a closer word! We were bamboozled with fixed elections, and look what it has wrought all over this country and the world. No humor here. This is dead serious.

We must all get behind Barack Obama and pray that he and his people can begin to right the wrong both here and over the rest of the world. He is the light of a new era! And that is worth smiling about.

When does the large U-Haul truck arrive at the back door of the White House ? Need some help ? Good-bye, George W. Mike In Montana

Trial....go to Trial

For if not...

We are the worlds most disrespected joke.....

No matter who the President Elect is

There have been many casualties, and many permanent losses for GW. Did he not think at some point the path to Peace would demand the same from him for his actions?

We all understand and expect that.

glad to see you go, go, go, go, goodbye.

Good riddance.

That will be exactly what the American people will say to media types like yourself, Bill Schneider, for selling the country the bill of goods named Obama.

You know where you can stick your pom-pons.

The one good thing Bush did for this country was to expose how much of a CHEAP CARNY SCAM can be run out of Washington D.C.

Are you sure CNN that it may be 4 out of 4 ?

Wow...3 out of 4 Americans are mindless sheep. That is news!

Who the "He double hockey sticks" are the 17% of the country that feels that W united the country. NUT JOBS!!!! Where have you people been living the past 8 years????

Sorry to say the Republican Party is dead. Whose is going to trust a party the next election that has created not one but 2 economical disasters.
If you look at the percentage of McCain Votes in the south which were around 2/3 you will see the problem. White Southerners always vote
Republican For Federal elections and in State Eclections they always vote Democratic. I saw that when I lived in the South for 5 years.
But did not people practice the same thing in the the rest of the Country by voting for someone as ridiculous as mCain to keep from voting for Obama and what is disgusting is most of these people knew mcCain for what he was and is..

I am not GOP, but I felt worse after President Clinton tangled the Oval Office and himself with Monica than now. Many people couldn't see President Reagan's achievement till years later. I hope President G.W. Bush will fare better ten years down the road. I totally trust Mrs. Laura Bush and Michelle Obama with our White House furniture and treasures.

Shall I say without Bush, we would have never heard of the shoe-throwing culture from Middle East? Iraq feels free to express themselves now and that is good, but at a high price.

I guess that means that 1 out of 4 people are not blinded by the media. Wait for the Obama to get old to the media, they will turn on him and his approval rating will go down. Way too many sheep.

I'm surprised that 23% of people will miss him, I would of thought it would only be the top 2% of people that Bush took care of.

Oh kind and gentle liberalcrats, George Soros fed you the Kool Aid and you believe with a perverted evangelic fever all of the venom and hate you spill out. It is remarkable that we who have a conservative view are called racists and other names (really read some of these comments) by the enlightened elitists.

David, I'm with you about the neo-con hijacking of the GOP, but it happened after Bush 1. George H.W. had no illusions about the messianic spread of democracy by force. He subscribed to the Powell doctrine – clear mission, overwhelming force, clear exit strategy – that W. abandoned. Many of H.W.'s advisors, such as Scowcroft and Baker, opposed W.'s Iraq war.

In short, if junior had listened to daddy instead of the neo-cons, he'd have been a lot more successful.

Yea, we can get rid of him but we can't get rid of the 60million people that voted for him and their plans to legislate their morality and their religion into our lives continue. The GOP has learned nothing from this situation. They continue to lie, obfuscate, cover and support these criminals while, at the same time, none of their candidates can be seen in the same state with members of this Administration.
Dubya bought votes in 2000 by giving away money and many, many Americans let themselves be bought.
Crimes have been committed and Cheney and company are admitting it. Where is the patriotism of the GOP to put country before criminal? Where is their responisibity for demanding accountability of their own Treasonous President and Veep? Cheney admitted that he outed Valerie Plame and Dubya didn't do a thing about it but lie and back off his promise to fire the "leakers"....Liars all and a bunch of you are behind him regardless of the lies... pathetic and frightening...

Wow...

3 of every four people glad to see him go.

I wonder if 2.5 of those 3 are glad that we are not going to have "Four More Years" under George McPalin.

I know this one is.

You all put him into office so whats the big deal. You'll be crying about BHO, in about six months to. The fact is people, "your all brain dead" ,you need a caretaker ,because your a lazy,pathetic bunch, of cry-baby's,...

Bush ahas proteched us from andother attack, because he was behind the 1 that hit us. So, ot saying much bt saying that the guys who planned the attack kept us from another. Bin Laden works for teh CIA....It wasa big con game to get the military-industrial complex a war f0r $$$$....Bush last stab at us was done with his buddy, then Sec. of Treeasury, who raped us for a cool $700Billion +++++++

I can understand the ones who will be glad he's gone, it's the ones who will miss him that I can't understand!

While I didn't vote for Bush during his first election, I'm glad he was at the wheel on 9/11/2001. I believe we would have experienced several more attacks had Gore been elected. I HOPE Obama, Pelosi and Reid don't let the gloves down. Clinton should have taken terrorism more seriously after the first Trade Center bombing. Guess he was too busy with Monica to address the threats to this country.

i wish you and your family well and Gods Blessings, but maybe 4 years is enough for any president.

My happiness no bounds. I am hoping to throw a big party to commemorate his end. We saw too much of him.

1 in 4 Americans must work for Haliburton or an oil company, because I can't see why anyone wouldn't be happy to see Bush and his gang of GOP crooks go.

I am glad to see Bush go. Whether or not i'm a big fan of bush isn't the issue. It is the fact that I am ready to end this chapter, whether good or bad.

I am ready for a new administration.
I am ready for a bright administration.
I am ready for a change in policy.
I am ready for hope.

I am ready for Barack Obama!

~Lawrence in Denver

IRONIC, ISN'T IT !!!

HE STOLE THE ELECTION TO BECOME A BIG MAN.

& HE MANAGED TO BECOME THE MOST DETESTED

LIVING MAN ON THE PLANET.

We have all seen that 17% that approve of his performance.. Those are the ones that believe that Obama is muslim, they believe that garbage the GOP has been spreading for the last 20 years about the godless democrats and believe that O'Reilly and Ruxh Limbaugh are actually intelliegent..
All I have to day is George if there was a merciful God he would have you and Chaney retire to the Green Zone in Iraq....

I can't imagine anyone not being glad. He has embarrased this country in front of the whole world. I just hope Obama will be able to repair the damage done. It will be a huge task!

George W. Bush is worthless. What a digusting human being.

When Bush attacked Afghanistan, it was understandable. When he pushed into Iraq, that spelled the beginning of the end of a presidency which became synonymous with corruption, greed, low IQ, and collosal mismanagement of war, economy, and the country as a whole. Cheney and friends made out like bandits but we will pay for it for many decades to come. Good ridance.

...well, whatever some of you geniuses think, he kept our country safe. They may sound like something unimportant with this lame article, but that's the facts, ma'am!
And this idiotic 'unite the country' thing. You Obamaites and this article seem to harp on that. But remember, some 66 million voted for ole Barry, but over 57 million voted against him...so where's this 'Obama's bringing the country togerther' thing anyway....!!??

3 out of 4? Those numbers sound low.

Honestly I don't hate Bush, he did a job that I would imagine most of us would never want. However I think he did a horrible job and I am one of those that cannot wait to see him go.

Don't the door hit you on the way out, Georgie.

Mr. Bush please feel free to leave earlier. We are counting the days, the hours and the minutes.

I have no respect for him. When he called Jeb and told him to fix the race, I lost respect for him, and to this day, I have never addressed him as P--- Bush, because he did not win. His name is George to me. Title of President has not been earned by this man. I can 't wait to see him out. Good bye and friggin good riddance!!!!!!!!

Since we are going back in time, let's go all the way to our last great president, Harry S. Truman.
He is the last president to govern while ignoring the needs of the press. He is the last president to make tough decisions for the benefit of America while sacrificing his legacy.
George Bush is an evangelical whack job who made tough decisions for the benefit of us all.
Who knows what would have happened if American citizens would have shown the same courage and moral conviction as our president.
Quite possibly we would have seen a quicker end to the Iraq conflict, and probably the Afghan situation as well.
Good luck to Barry.

Bush and Cheney deserve a fair trial. Nobody can deny that.

Glad to see him go like hell – I want to see him – along with Cheney, Rummy and Gonzo – tried as war criminals!

Na na na na, na na na na ,hey hey hey, good bye!!!!!The adults are home, the the GOP party is OVER! We'll see you at your war crimes hearing!!!

Interesting to note that throughout Barack Obama's campaign he stressed that with McCain we would be getting four more years of Bush. Bush must not be all that bad, since Obama has kept several of Bush's appointments and is following Bush's approach to taxes and incentives and security and the war in Iraq.

Bye Bye Bushy. Good riddance. If I did my job as poorly as you did, I would be in serious danger of losing my job. Actually, becasue of you I AM in serious danger of losing my job. Thanks bud.

It would be closer to 100 percent if more americans weren't blinded by party lines,racist bias and plain stupidity.By far the worst 1,2 punch in U.S. history.

Add to both lists:
• Old MacDonald Had a Farm But Lost it to Foreclosure
• Little Golden Book of World Economic Failures
• VERY Grimm Fairy Tales of Bad Foreign Policy
• Curious George Screws the Environment
• Richard Scary's Best Endangered Species Book Ever

Am not sad to see him go, but not because he is/was a bad president. It is simply time for change. He will probably aim for better things than being made a target for greedy people's mistakes as well as a bulls-eye for foreign made shoes. He deserves better than the treatment he is getting right now, and I know history will vindicate this man and his administration's legacy.

The only thing Bush can do now to reverse these numbers is to pardon Paxico Burress!

DUH!!!

It is amazing that Bush used the American people to get his own family and friends richer, and so many people are bashing or defending this man. So many people claim that he is stupid, but his oil friends & family are richer, his defense contractor friends & family are richer, and now his executive friends & family are richer; All paid for by us, the taxpayers. How dumb are the democrats to listen to this man and give him command of $700 billion dollars of our taxpaying dollars? He will go down in history as a great president because so many sheep see the world with closed eyes. The U.S. worships the almighty dollar.

Religion, government, charities, families, and any other structured organization are great, however, they are ran by human beings and greed runs rampant in us. People are selfish, prejudice, ignorant, greedy and trusting. Until some self reflection is administered, nothing will change in America. Obama is one man in a sea of wolves. Every person that ever tried to change the establishment has either been converted or killed.

God Bless.

I personally think that Bush is not a bad person and has taken a lot of fault for what's wrong in our country today. (Cheney on the other hand I think is WICKED). It was time for a change one way or another and as an open minded person I wish him and his wife the best, yet the war in Iraq and the lies that got us there and the lives that were lost is just really too much to bare. Bush was a puppet for the far right neo-cons of his party and that is what made his terms as bad as they turned out.

I'd say it's more like 9 out of 10

I wonder how many missed President Clinton AFTER the first four years of the Bush Administration? Pres Bush might have been a model of evangelistic mores but we should not necessarily choose a president for his religious bent any more than we would choose a plumber solely because he belongs to our church

The 23 percent that will miss him are the ones who he gave all the money to (and some dirt poor rednecks that are shooting themselves in the foot.)

I voted for him and I am sorry for that. Now I support Obama 100%.

Trickle down economics don't work. We tried giving to the rich in hopes that they would buy goods and services and the money would trickle down to the rest of us. Instead the rich horded the wealth and the rest of us are poorer than ever.

Let's take it away from them.

Good riddins to bad rubbish! I am so glad to see this man leave. He has totally screwed up this country and it's not right how he get to walk away and not have to live from check to check like most people. I've never seenn it so bad and I bet not one of his family members died in Iraq. Good bye Mr. Bush, and I hope God will have mercy on your soul cause you did us wrong, just plain wrong! There is no doubt that you are the worst President to ever run this country and I don't think there will ever or could ever be any worse than you.

I'm one of the 3.

I have had the disturbing experience of researching Bush's pre-Iraq fact twisting and suppression. There is no way that historians will miss the stuff....it's there if you want to find it. I'm sorry that he, Cheney and Rice aren't going to prison.

I want him, his family and his entire staff as well as their families to all go to a place that would make Guantanamo look like heaven. And stay there till their last breath.

Bush will retire with a hefty pension and security guards arond him. His business interests made good fortunes from the Iraqi war. He is immune for any War Crimes or other related issues. So, no one will care him once he leaves WhiteHouse!

Get rid of the Jerk, glad to see him go, he is the worst president ever elected. J

It's pretty sad that one out of four is sad to see him go. Thats about 75 million people in USA.

He still has higher approval rating than the Dem-controller congress.

Who in the H*** would be sad to see Bush go.

23 percent will miss him.

Yeah. The 23 percent that benefited from him stealing from the poor and giving to the rich. Trickle down economics does not work people. We tried it. We gave more money to the rich in hopes that they would spend it on goods and services and they didn't. They horded the wealth and the rest of us got poorer.

Now it's time to take it away from them.

I am a lifelong right of center American that supports P.E. Obama 100%. I will admit I voted for Bush and I'm sorry for that. Now I can't wait till he's gone.

CNN sure does love polls. God Bless you Mr. President and I know you have been a great President. Keep us in your prayers as you know we will need it. You haven't been perfect but you have not tried to become a celebrity by saying anything and everything everyone wants to hear. I think the next man will have a problem since he and the media bought the presidency he'll have a hard time trying to please all since he promised everyone everything. Again thank you for standing for something and not falling for everything.

Bye Bush. Don't let the door hit you when you leave. And good riddence to the worst leader in the past 100 years.

CNN took the survey from mostly democrats since it mostly covers only democratic opinions.

Lets have a parade and the largest party ever on 1/20/2009,just to let him know what we thought of him and how much he will be missed.Bring your shoes.

From stealing an election to one confabulation after another: GWB will be remembered as an ugly scar in this great nation's complexion. Go, Mr. Bush. Good luck sleeping nights knowing what you've done to disgrace this nation and prolong the suffering of so many. The biggest shame is that you have repeatedly shown yourself to be intellectually and morally incapable of comprehending the depth of your destruction.

You are a bad, bad man.

You've overstayed your welcome 8 years too long!! Good bye....good riddance, and "Ya'll DON'T come back now............ya hear???!!!

I read someone say he will be regarded as a great president, but I cannot find one thing that he accomplished, even the one I read on this blog that he kept us safe is not correct, as secretaries of state has said, it was fully 9 months into his watch when the attack happened and no one connected the dots (was listening), I think that kind of not paying attention starts at the top, He, not Clinton, bears this responsibility

I didn't know that frontal lobotomies were so predominant in this country. That is the only way to account for that 1 in 4 that are sad to see him go.

Amen. I may be GOP but this guy has to go. The neo-con's hijacked the GOP to where it no longer resembles what it was before they took it over starting with the power play of putting George H.W. as Reagan's VP (when Reagan totally disliked him). Since that time the neo-con's dominated the party and we see where they have now taken it. it's time to clear them out.
