CNN

Bush has no ideal what would stop the fighting there, he hasn't figured out what to do about the war were fighting.

J-Dean – that's about the stupidest thing I've seen posted; Bush responsible for 4220 deaths...do your research, clown. About 1/3 of the deaths are none combat related...it's an all volunteer force...and there are a great number of training deaths each year...in summary...Bush is responsible for ZERO deaths, no one made any service member sign on the dotted line. They were over there protecting our way of life, over here....Had Bush not taken the battle to them, they'd have attacked us on our own soil again, which will happen under this incompetent you're sucking up to. No one likes a death to occur in the military, I know, I was there. However, what's worse is whining, sniveling people like you with a sense of deserving entitlement....In time you'll see how Bush kept us safe...unfortunately, it will be sooner than we think.

We bid you adios George. Go build your presidential library in Texas and then stay there. I've heard that we will be thanking you at some point for what you have accomplished, but I really do fail to see what you have accomplished. You didn't capture Mr. Bin Forgotten, you started the snow ball effect of a failing economy, you took away several of our rights as American citizens. Have fun in Texas with your longhorns

The man has no conception as to what he has done. When his mistakes are pointed out to him, like Dick Cheney, his answer is "So What". He has no idea that he has competely destroyed the reputation of the U. S. of A. in all of the free world. It is going to take decades to repair the damage this man has left as his so called legacy. Lord help him if he decides to travel outside of the U. S. A. The Hague is not below having him kidnapped with his cronies to stand trial for crimes against humanity and it will be well deserved.

President Bush, your village called, their idiot is missing and needs to be back by January 20, 2009. Do not miss the plane. AND please stay there.

TO j. dean,

You do not appreciate what Bush and all of the civilian,military, and government people have done to protect you and your family from another 9/11,which in one day ,almost as many people died on our soil as have died in the last seven years protecting our civilians,like you.

We as a nation better hope and pray the Obama administration can do as well.(they cann't do better,Bush's administration on this issue was perfect)

To all the stupid Americans who voted for this incompetent leader, thanks for nothing.

How soon we forget. Pres. Bush inherited a failed and weak foreign policy from Clinton, and has kept the U.S. safe ever since. Sure, there have been mistakes in the Iraq war, and we lost some brave soldiers in the battle, but without bold and decisive moves to control world tyrants and terrorists we would probably have seen much more devistation and loss of life on our soil. He should be remembered for his valiant efforts in the fight.

This Democrat would like to thank you for your service Mr. President....good luck and god bless!

PRESIDENT BUSH,

PLEASE SAY A PRAYER FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!!!!!!

ALLOT OF AMERICANS (OBAMA SUPPORTERS) BLAME PRESIDENT BUSH FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY AND WILL CONTINUE TO BLAME PRESIDENT BUSH FOR YEARS TO COME.

THE FACTS ARE THE ECONOMY GOES UP AND DOWN IN CYCLES AND MOST AMERICANS LIVE OVER THERE BUDGET!!!

FRAUD IS ANOTHER PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS TO BE HANDLED!!
UNTIL THE CROOKS ARE PUT IN PRISON IN THIS COUNTRY CRIME WILL PAY VERY WELL!!!!!!

THE HUISSAIN OBAMA SUPPORTERS WILL BLAME BUSH FOR EVERYTHING NO MATTER WHAT OBAMA DOES WRONG AND THATS REALLY A SHAME.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT BUSH FOR KEEPING OUR COUNTRY SAFE AND ENJOY YOUR RETIREMENT YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

President George W. Bush is a man of God........Be careful what you think of him.....He was sent to do a job and it is finished.......We will see the results when God is ready.........God works in his own time frame.......I believe Bush was sent here like Moses , John the Baptist, the 12 decipils, Mary, Joseph and all of the saints, we read about in the Bible.........."BE STILL AND KNOW I AM GOD"

I like my song....get it out of "moderation", please!!!

Bush Derangement Syndrome at it's best on here today.
Ignorance abounds as well...

to CONFUSED,

You are not confused , your ignorant-That terrorist attack on 9/11 KILLED 3000 plus people, injured 1000's more ,destroyed much of New York,killed people at the Pentagon,and killed everyone aboard three airline jets,wrecked our economy,and caused fear across the entire nation.You must not have had a family member lost or injured,there for you don't really care,as with many other,that were not directly involved.Anyway,President Bush did not allow that to happen again,so thank him and ALL the people involved in protecting us ,they HAVE done a GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!

So why won't you post my comments CNN?

So much hate. Let's see how long it takes for Obama to actually be criticized. He hasn't been yet. I'm sorry, but Bush has made mistakes like EVERY president. Presidents aren't perfect. Bush has done nothing to make my life worse and he has kept this country safe for the past 7 years. I cannot ask for more than that. You cannot blame him for the economic crisis. Only fools sit back and name call. Let's see how critical these fools and media will be with Obama. I'm proud to be American. We are the most generous country in the world and that continued with Bush and his administration. Show me who helps as much as we do...I bet you cannot.

If Bush wants credit for preventing another attack SINCE 9/11, then he must accept that he failed to prevent the attack ON 9/11.
He was President before, during and after 9/11. His job was was to secure the country for that entire period – not just SINCE 9/11.

!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace on both sides. Certainly there is something Israel can do differently too!

Go home now Bushhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

IT IS A STRANGE DAY, BUT I DO AGREE WITH BUSH.

THE PALESTINIANS NEED TO WORK FOR THEIR OWN

PEACE. THEY CAN'T SEND ROCKETS INTO ISRAEL &

DEMONSTRATE IN THE CITIES OF THE WORLD FOR

PEACE. THEY SHOULD DEMONSTRATE IN FRONT OF

THE OFFICES OF THEIR OWN ELECTED LEADERS.

Oy! If he didn't screw everything up soooo badly, I would honestly feel sorry dubya.

I do feel badly for his daddy, Bush sr. I could say something but... it wouldn't get published. lol!

Let Israel pound away. It's about time our allies do some of the heavy lifting in the Middle East.

If you do not use your brain, evolution, a real dynamic process, can go backwards.
Proof attached – above picture.

The cnn quick vote question for today:

"Which dog would be right for the obamas?" a Portuguese Water dog or a Labradoodle.

I would suggest the perfect pick would be a combination of White poodle and Black Labrador would fit nicely.

I have a visual picture that reflects Bush and Cheney's legacy. They are standing on an aircraft carrier which is setting on the water/houses of New Orleans (Katrina), Behind them is the sign Mission Accomplished with sailors being tortured and behind that are towering flames from 3 wars raging in the mideast and in the background a hugh mountain with a small sign at the boyyom (debt).

What independent media?

I am confused by this whole Bush kept us safe thing. During the Clinton years there was 1 attack on american soil and a couple abroad. During the Bush years there was a worse attack at here, a dozen abroad, and 2 full scale conflicts that lost more more people than 9/11. The only thing protected during the Bush years was Iraq oil and what did we get for help and security, oil prices sky rocketed. I am confused.What did Bush protect us from?

Finally. "Mission Accomplished". He's Gone. Where's the banner now?

President Bush will be missed. It was nice to have someone in the White House who cared more about the american people than politics. Presdent Bush, thanks for keeping America safe!!!

The picture,the expression says it all,what a loser.

Mistakes that cost us JOBS, cost the iraqi people LIVES......

I don't know if Bush is the worst president ever. Carter was pretty bad, as was Nixon. It depends on which criteria you use.

For instance, if you measure by honesty, then Carter would be one of the best, and Nixon would be the worst. Clinton and Bush would both make the bottom five.

If you measure by economic issues, then Bush would be by far the worst, with Carter as second worst.

If you measure by war/peace, then Bush would be among the worst, but so would LBJ. Both advocated wars based on misinformation.

While I agree that Bush made lots of mistakes and I'm glad to see him go, we can't lose sight of all the others that need to go. Both Democrats and Republicans. The problem with blaming Bush for everything is that the others that are responsible get away with it. I'm talking about both parties at local, state and federal levels. Don't be a stooge for either party and believe them when they say it was all the other guys fault.

Actually it's Hamas who has been murdering innocent people over and over and over again.

I think it is sad how so many people come on these blogs and comment as if they have any idea what they are talking about. We civilians have no idea what goes on fully, I am sure history will paint the truth. Be is a positive or negative one, however making such hateful comments while having little information just goes to show how ignorant people are. You believe 1 person made everything bad happen? Really? Talk about a scape goat.

I am very concerned for PE Obama. He is human, he is just a man and he has to work within the same system. He can not possibly change as much as people are thinking he will, it is not possible. I pray that the warm fuzzy feelings do continue so he can get things done, I just see that people in that system are already turning on him and he has not even moved in yet.

That photo is perfect! The expression on Duhbya's face says it all. He's thinking, "How soon can I get away from all these annoying questions?"

THE ONLY SUBJECT THAT THIS IDIOT, NAMED GEORGE BUSH, MUST TALK IS THE ACCEPTANCE OF HIS GREATEST THAT CAUSED THE DEATH OF OVER 4220 OF AMERICA'S BEST YOUNG HEROES WHOW WERE SACRIFICED IN IRAQ FOR THE MISGUIDED DECISION OF DISASTER GEORGE BUSH.
AS THIS IDIOT CALLED IT DURING THE BEGINNING OF THE IRAQI WAR "THE NOBLE CAUSE", HAS BEEN DELETED FROM ALL SPEACHES OF GEORGE BUSH. HOWEVER THE PARENTS OF ALL THOSE YOUNG AMERICAN HEROES WILL NEVER FORGET AND FORGIVE THIS IDIOT NAMED GEORGE BUSH FOR WHAT HE CONTRIBUTED TO THE MISERY TO ALL THOSE PARENTS, MOTHERS AND FATHERS, WIFES AND HUSBANDS, DAUGHTERS AND SONS AND TO ALL THOSE BELOVED ONES WHO LOST A DEAR MEMBER OF THEIR FAMILY. THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN REPLACE EVERY LOVED ONES WHO DIED BECAUSE OF THE MISGUIDED DECISION OF GEORGE BUSH, DICK CHENEY AND THE REST OF THIS PRESIDENT WHO STILL IS TALKING WITHOUT ACCEPTING HIS GREATES MISTAKE. A MISTAKE THAT IS INDEED RECORDED IN AMERICA'S MODERN HISTORY AS "THE DARKEST DAYS" OF OUR BELOVED COUNTRY.
SHAME ON YOU AND ON ALL THOSE WHO STILL DO NOT ACCEPT THE LOSS OF OUR HEROES AS THE ONLY AND THE GREATES MISTAKE OF THIS IDIOT NAMED GEORGE BUSH.

bye Dubya, please do not come back

You took from this country and forgot to give back.

I still do not understand why people are blaming all of this on Hamas. Just think about of folks, if you lived in a society where your movements were restricted, you were impoverished, your land that was once yours was riped away from you due to some idiocy mandate created after WWII, you'd be pissed too. Now, what the Palestinen people need to do is start policing thier own and demand that thier leaders stop firing rockects into Isreal and the US needs to stop aiding this reckless behavior of Isreal and demand a cease fire. This whole notion of Hamas being some "rouge" party is crap. Hamas was democratically elected, under UN watch. We supply weapons to Isreal which is used on the Palestinens daily, why should they not have the right also to protect themselves. That is insane. It's just like the British were pissed at France for supply weapons to the Revolutionaries here. Why? Because at the time we did not have the capability to make them.

GEORGE BUSH LOOKED LIKE A CONVICTED CRIMINAL MAKING A LAST PLEA TO THE JUDGE. GUILTY-–GUILTY--GUILTY.

Just the look on his face says volumes about him, none of it good.

Go away please Mr. President. How about those that supply weapons to Israel so they can continue to murder innocent people over and over and over again. Hopefully Obama will be able to see both sides and come up with a real solution.

That face, posted on this report, says it all. Dufus.

these countries will never stop, it's all they know and it's what they want, we need to take care of the U.S, and leave these countries to their own way of life.

The final Shock and Awe!!! One last attempt at rewriting history and telling America we didn't hear what we thought we heard. Just like the famous man's greed, Deny, Deny, Deny and if caught in the act say you didn't see what you thought you saw!!! Pathetic for a President to act as low as a cheating husband!!!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Well, that is essentially correct - did you finally decide to start listening to your military advisors? It doesn't help that Hamas has decided to install their command bunker under a UN hospital, either, or storing weapons in schools and shooting rockets from them!

Quite a news conference it was! Bush confessed some of his errors, and defended others.

May God have mercy on his soul!

8 more days and I won't have to see or hear this Idiot again.

TURN OUT THE LIGHTS, THE PARTY'S OVER- GOOD RIDDANCE-

hello is anyone home?

Ordinarily a person with the credibility and intellectual capacity of Bush would not have much to contribute to other politicians within his party but from what I can tell Bush appears to be the best the have by far in both these categories.

Does President Bush believe that untill Hamas stops firing Rockets into Israel, Israel has the right to bomb schools, hospitals, and other shelters the Gazan people have been taken to for refuge?
Even if Hamas is placing Gazan people in these shcools for refuge and using them for death toll propaganda, can President Bush confirm that it was dire for Israel's security to bomb these buildings?
And why can't other Nations of Nato demand that one of the neighboring countries allow the Gazan people refuge? It is deplorable that Gazans' lives are not given the same respect as their enemies!

Last speech:) Can't wait for his last departure!

YEAAAAAAAAAY! finally...finally after 8 long years of misery under this moron...LAST TIME WE WILL EVER HEAR HIM MALIGN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE in front of the world,,,seems that what he is most proud of, along with those who voted for him, is that, for the last 7 years, america has not been attacked. What people must remember also is that, for the seven years prior to the moron getting in office, america wasn't attacked either...He is still in denial about the incomptence of his regime....4225 americans dead in his war for oil...katrina...economy...7.5 million unemployed (wonder how many of THOSE voted for him)....it occured to me, as I was watching this event, that the dumbest correspondent asking questions was 10 times smarter than this moron who has lead the country for the past 8 years! Good riddance, dubya...12 noon, 20 january cannot come soon enough, and we can only pray that nothing happens where we ever have to listen or see you in front of cameras again!!

Thank God.

vile liberal comments in 3...2....1

It could not have come soon enough. Really, he should not have held his first news conference as president back in 2001 because...uh...um...well... HE DID NOT FREAKIN' WIN! AL GORE WON!

We will miss you Mr President

Lol omg look at his face!

I have never been a Bush supporter, but i think he handled himself well in this situation. A gracious exit.

Thank you Lord. Last anything else from this airhead.

when president bush addressed the nation from ground zero it could have been said he was in the way of first responders, but the country needed his comfort and lead...i think had he done the same and landed in new orleans during its bleakest time the country might have been more forgiving...but time to move on and forward.

Shouldn't that title read "FIRST press conference?" I kid, of course...I know he's held two or three.

I have never been aBush supporter, but i think he handled himself wee in this situation. A gracious exit.

I wonder who he is talking about.

I don't mean to sound mean or anything, but... did he seem a little intoxicated to anyone else? His speech seemed very off, even for him.

Yes......the end of an ERROR!

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Goodbye and good riddance. Enron, Katrina, the Iraq fiasco, torture, unilateralism, the destruciton of our standing in the world, an economy in tatters, a doubling of the national deficit, the treasonous outing of a CIA agent for political gain, the politicizing of the Justice Department, the overreaching, incompetence and hubris- anyone who argues that Bush isn't among the worst President in history (if not THE worst President in history) isn't too bright. I wish nothing but bad karma on the man for all of the suffering his Presidency has inflicted on the world.

Farewell Mr. Bush. I wish you all the best and thank you for your service.

I don't want to even talk about Israel's phase 4.

To be sung to the popular melody:

Bye, bye, Bush....
Hello, Happiness....
Here comes intelligence.
I think I'm gonna smile!
I KNOW I'm gonna smile!

Arrogant and Delusional to the end!

OK libs. last chance. take your best shot now.... True colors

anybody have a shoe?

Thank God, Bush is making his last speach! (telling his lies) He wonders how come everything went bad on his watch as he put it.
Just gose to show how dumb he is.

It is good to see that the president of the US is man enough to stand up and place the blame where blame is due. Hamas started this and I hope the new administration will stand up and not bow down to the rest of the world.

Good bye Mr. President, nice to know you, NOT!!!

I think Bush is doing a great job at the conference. I love that he can admit errors and still be proud of certain things too. I think that makes you a more balanced and healthy person. I didn't vote for him in 2000 or 2004 and I can't speculate on the difference if Gore or Kerry were Pres; I don't agree with his policies but I don't sit around bashing him but instead looking forward, the way Obama suggested in the first place in his interview with Stephanopoulos. I appreciate that even he wishes Obama well...too bad his supporters can't. I hope they realize that if the President doesn't do well, unless they are in that 1% of wealth, their lives will be affected too.

I feel very sorry for President Bush. He has spent most of this news conference defending himself and really has not taken responsibility for any of his actions during his term, but making excuses. This is disgraceful for a president to take his leave this way. History short or long term will not speak very highly of this president, I am convinced.

good riddens, don't let the door hit you where the good lord split ya. Won't miss Dubya...

I'm watching it right now, and all I see is an incapable soon-to-be ex-President having a pity-me party.

"Mission Accomplished".

Your ESOTERIC AGENDA and your Daddy's 'NEW WORLD ORDER' aren't going to happen.
FEAR MONGERING and USING 9-11 as a way to CONTROL the citizens of this country through the, SO CALLED, 'threat of terrorism', won't work on the FREE WILLED, FREE THINKING people of the WORLD.

PLEASE GO AWAY

Tell it like it is Mr. president. Osama thinks he can come in, talk to the terrorists and settle this matter. Yeah...right! LOL

I never knew how psychogically damaging the two Bush victorie were to the dumbocrats until i read some the insanity on these pages. Now that my candidate and party were defeated by George Soros, the unions and ACORN, I am trying to decide whether do evaluate the new administration fairly or act like a complete idiots (sorry Proud American, idion) like the dumbocrats have for the last eight years.

Reporters were required to remove their shoes before entering the briefing room.

One last chance to get on everyone's nerves.

I'm watching the conf. ... what a pathetic man! How out of touch this man is .... really pathetic.

lol...that picture of Bush is priceless...I can just hear the "whatevah, I do what I want" going on in his head

Why is he still speaking for the USA????? He should only be speaking to the movers, to get him the Hell out of the White house!!!!!! That would be the only talk he could do without those ridicolous gesters of his!!!!

When will the United States cease their biased support of Israel? Why has the United States allowed Israel to ban independent media from Gaza?

He looks tired.

OOPS

He doth protest too much.

He doth protest to much.

FEAR MONGERING DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE

QUIT USING 9-11 FOR YOUR ILL GOTTEN GAINS BAGDAD BOB!

BYE BYE TO THE WAR CRIMINAL AND HIS HENCHMEN

Get out.
