CNN

We need to move on as a nation and see what we can do as individuals to change our country. After 9/11 we all came together. Will it take another tragedy for that to happen again? We need to come together as communities. We have schools that can't by toilet paper much less educate our kids. We have homes and churches in foreclosure. We have families being separated as dad leaves to find work while mom and the kids move in with family. If we don't come together, volunteer, US & Municipal savings bonds to finance governments instead of foriegn money, we will never make it to the America we were or could be.

He called himself a type A personality the other day,I think he meant to say a type 0 personality.

To all the liberal meatheads on here…
--------------------------
You may want to rethink your use of the word "meathead". Archie Bunker trademarked the word. He may sue.

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!!!!!

People seem to have forgotten that the Enron scandal (Nov. 2001) broke during the Bush watch also. Then the country entered into recession in Dec. 2007 but was not reported until Dec. 2008.

His FINAL press conference......Promise??????

God bless America.

THAT'S THE WAY IS WAS THE DARKEST DAYS OF OUR HISTORY. GEORGE BUSH, ACCEPT YOUR MISTAKES, MISTAKES WITH THOUSANDS TIMES UNDERLINED WITH THE LETTER """""""""""S""""""""""""""". THE PRESIDENT WHO WAS THE DIRECT CAUSE OF THE DEATH OF OVER 4220 YOUNG MILITARY HEROES WHO LOSS THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF THE MISGUIDED DECISION OF THIS IDIOT. ALL THOSE PARENTS, FATHERS AND MOTHERS, HUSBANDS AND WIFES, SONS AND DAUGHTERS ARE STILL WAITING TO HEAR THAT THE DEATH OF THEIR BELOVED ONES WAS HIM, HIM CALLED GEORGE BUSH. THIS IDIOT WHO IS STILL TALKING. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT OUR COUNTRY, THE GREATEST COUNTRY, COULD AND SHOULD SACRIFICE SO MUCH FOR AN IDIOT WHO CAUSE NOTHING BUT DIDASTER... AND MOST OF ALL STILL TALKING. SHAME ON THIS IDIOT AND ON ALL THOSE WHO STILL SUPPORT THIS MISGUIDED PERSON NAMED GEORGE BUSH.

To all the liberal meatheads on here...

1. Some of you have mentioned the "surplus" Bush inheritted from Clinton. Hmmmm....sorry people when you cut military spending to the point where when you have to go to war and you don't have enough body armor for your soldiers....that is not a surplus....that is ignoring essential "services".....its called mismanagement.

2. The clinton Economy? It was all a fraud.....how many of those "internet companies" that made the stock market soar during Clinton's years are still around....hmmm lets see amazon, ebay, yahoo...yep that pretty much sums that up. The other part of his ecoomy was simplying causing a public panic and useless government spending to take care of that imaginary "Y2K" problem.....you know the same thing Obama is doing with this "global warming problem"

3. Thank you President Bush for keeping us safe the last 7 years. For some reason, even though a bipartisan comission said so, these libs can't understand how 9/11 was being planned under your predescesor....But seriously thank you for keeping us safe. These libs are just mad because of the wiretapping and they couldn't order their weed and opium over the phone any more.

4. Thank you for freeing millions of Human Beings around the world from the atrocious hands of dictators.

5. Thank you for SAVING the economy after 9/11.

And most of all...thank you for being yourself....it is good to see someone stand by principles rather than changing in the wind to see what is popular....you sacrificed alot for this country President Bush....and except for the crazy libs on here who wouldn't give you credit if you fathered the Messiah (Barry O)....history will vindicate

Don't be surprised if Bush and his Daddy didn't threaten Obama and his family, in order to keep HIS Daddy's agenda going. I can see them in that 'private closed door meeting' and Bush Sr. coming through a side door with Cheney to let Obama know that his family will be offed if he doesn't do as they wish.

Bush, McCain, Cheney, and the like wish to gain control of the world through war.

WE CAN NOT LET THAT HAPPEN.

WHO DIED AND MADE AMERICA GOD??

...and Jan 20th, we began the biggest mistake ever, please dont let the terrorists get too much power back barack, though im sure you will just want to sit down and talk with them..yea cause that always works with psycho bombers that hate america.

lord please help us!

PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH WRECKED A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY."MISSION ACCOMPLISH"--–AND NOW HE MUST PAY FOR HIS FAILURES. HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED NOW-NOW-NOW.

PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH WRECKED A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY."MISSION ACCOMPLISH"--–AND NOW HE MUST PAY FOR HIS FAILURES. HE SHOULD BE IMPEACHED NOW-NOW-NOW.

Good-bye to he who attacked us on 9-11, we'll call him 'Bagdad Bob' for now. AKA GW Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld, etc.

GOOGLE zeitgeist

WATCH the entire TWO videos, zeitgeist and the addendum. You'll see why we are in the state we are in and why we have been in debt since this country was founded.

This problem DID NOT start with the Clinton administration. It started with the founding of this country and the 'Federal Reserve'

Goodbye Bush, enjoy Saudi Arabia.

Cheri NW Arkansas and Nice Girl:

I couldn't have exped anything different from an arkie, and as to nice girl, she is no doubt all tingly up her legs seeing an image of the "great himself" obama.
What a frigging joke.

Hallelujah! It's been a long time coming. Good Bye and Good Riddance.

Why don't you go speak at Arlington to all the soldiers you put there to make you and your buddies richer? TRATIOR!!!!! FAILURE!!!!!!!!! See if they forgive you.

The best thing anyone can say about all of it is the one word 'final'.

Lets party like its 1/20/2009.

Now the Obama "Dog and Pony" Show begins

GOD BLESS AMERICA.

History will prove kind to this man! Shame on all of you haters!

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.

Wouldn't vote for the man again but have to say, out of respect for the office. Thank you President Bush for your 8 years of service and God bless you and your family as you transition on. May history be kinder to you than some of the whinny individuals in this country have been.

You are out!!

Finally.....end of an ERROR!

Thank you, you will be remember, take care.

What a profoundly ignorant and stupid man he is. Thank you for killing conservatism and the republican party for a generation. They couldn't of done it without you.

Just how bad of a President were you? So bad that a clear majority of voters would prefer to have a Black guy who's a Democrat President rather than a lily white republican genuine American War Hero. That bad!

Oh, and by the way; don't count on the idea that 'history' will view you any better in retrospect than we do at this moment. Your record is a fetid, stinking pile of dead fish that will not improve with more aging.

Let the healing begin.

Good riddens! Thank God for the term ending Jan 20th 2009.

Finally! Here's to 1/20/2009!

Those words are like music to my ears!

Thanks President Bush, job well done. Thanks for keeping the USA safe. We will see if Obama does.

You are a great American.

Godspeed, Mr. President.

57 million liberals hate you..., but that's OK Bushy, because the generations to come from the 57 million people you led from tryanny and oppression more than makes up for the desires of the protected selfish.

It could not have come soon enough. Hey, where's President Gore?

I wonder how many positive comments there will be about President Bush.

admiration, more of the career policticans should take his lead, consider Mr Burris, seventy years old, and making a fuss, there comes a time to step aside

He still will take no blame for the mess he created.

Spare me ~yawns~

This man does not have a clue. He doesn't even understand half the questions asked to him. He is so flippant and arrogant. I hope he does have trouble looking into the mirror, knowing that he was the first and only president in our history to wage a pre-emptive war. How many beautiful faces, young service men and women, innocent Iraqis are missing from our world because of this mans silly ideas? He is the silliest man on the planet. He is a simple minded, stupid fool and what he has done to his nation and the world is unforgivable. I don't see how he can live with himself. Listening to him, he can't even accept any responsibilty for any thing he has done. The blame goes to everyone but himself. What a silly, stupid little man. How pathetic he is. God help President Obama and all Americans. I don't know if we can recover from this debacle.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Dubya!
You WILL NOT be missed!

Everybody get your Shoes Ready to Throw!!!!!!! And Please Don't Miss!!!!!

Hey – Somebody please inform the most stupid president in history that it's his last new conference so he won't be blindsided finding out just like he did when an interviewer had to tell him he was on his last Err Force One flight. Hey Mr Bush you are the worst president and worst thing to happen to America. You are not welcome in this country even by Republicans.

Oh please – we know all the disastrous news of the past 8 years – we are still living it thanks to you!

Okay. so what channel will Obama be on? It seems that he always tries to steal Bushs limelight when he gives a speech and he schedules his own speech to overlap. The man is so narccistic.

Does anybody really care?

Bush is really leaving. There is a God!

Finally...

GOOD!!! BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD TODAY! GET TO GETTIN'

I wonder if there will be any further mistakes with speaking the language - English! I just wish that this last press confernce had never had a need; I would have prefered to see someone else as president going back to 2000.

Good, about time good-bye. Don't forget to take lying crazy cheney and all the rest of the crooks you had in your cabinet, that helped destroy this company.

Anybody got any spare shoes?

let the shoe throwing commence. No? how about rotten tomatoes and eggs. The journalist who will attend this poor me suckfest will be those who have no ideas to contribute to their paper or have nothing to do at all.

This is the speech...
Fellow Americans i am glad that the 8 yrs are over and wish i could stay long to make sure the economy keepd going where is going. Extend our military offensive in Iraq, Make sure i dont say anything for or against Israel-Palestinian war.....and so many other great acheivements. I made sure there was no other 911 (even if the first ever came at my watch). I know you will all miss me and thank me for everything i did for you. Thanks and God bless

Perhaps he will rightly and simply say "I am SO very sorry for what I have done to all of you, Iraq, the world and America" then leave the podium. No...that would require a conscience and humility.

Why?

Who cares.... More lies to try and convince the American public how wonderful and prosperous and safe he has made us.

I for one, will be thankful to this President for keeping us all safe for 7 years during some of the most dangerous periods in our nation's history. How many of us thought on September 12, 2001 that we would be attacked within a week, a month or even a year? Most of us did and the Bush administration kept that from happening. As a conservative I have a lot of issues with Presdient Bush, especially his fiscally irresponsible spending. However, I am certain that within a few years his legacy will be significantly repaired.

I hope he isn't cavalier enough to turn this press conference into the "let's re-write history" kick off. What he has failed to do for our veterans is a disgrace.

Am I the only one that gets excited every time CNN reminds me how close his presidency is to the end?

"Looking forward to"? I think that's being overly polite. I can't imagine he's looking forward to anything other than simply going home. And I can't blame him.

I thought this day would never come. What a dream come true. Good Bye, See ya lata, Dubya. Thanks for the nose dive to our Economy, Thanks for distroying the little respect we had around the world. Thanks most importantly for caring more about the Iraqis and not saving your american citizens on time during Katrina. Also...... Where is Osama?

What a great day for America..the Decider steps down.. America blames Bush for the disaster he leaves behind.. but gee folks you voted him in twice!!!
That pretty much sends a clear signal of trust and he took advantage of the situation.
Anyway, bring on a man with caring and intelligence and values.. the whole world needs Barack.. and may God watch over him and his family!!

Adios! Just one question, how does it feel to know that you've destroyed this country's economy, stripped our civil rights, turned the world against us and had over 5,000 soldiers killed over a lie?

Ahh ha ha ha....looks like you Obama supporters voted another Bush in office!! So I am guessing this is the CHANGE we are going to get?? LOL
Its just way too funny. Especially since Obama is teaming up with Bush on this Bailout Plan!!

"I am sorry for the mess" will be enough. Go, but not in peace. Go and remember the misery you and Chaney caused.

The End!

History may be kind to you.

Enjoy your freedom!

Thank God and good bye.

Uh....WHY?

Eight days to go.

thank god

Can we hope for a miracle and Bush will speak in complete sentences and maybe – just maybe – use a few big words?

The nightmare comes to an end.

Free at last.
Free at last.
Thank God all mighty.
Free at last

I just bet he's looking forward to taking questions about "the last eight years." Hope someone asks him about the strings he pulled to avoid impeachment, and how he can sleep at night with the deaths of thousands on people on his hands.

His last opportunity to lie to the American press before he slithers off into retirement...

Too little, too late.

The last week of the presidency is probably a little too late to try and start a meaningful dialogue about the "issues" the country has had to deal with under your watch.

AND does anyone really care what a president who distains thinking too much thinks, if an when he does think about something?

I don't think so.

Yessss, the end is near ... 8 more days!!!

Dear Lord, can we just make this fool go away. NO ONE wants to hear him speak anymore. AS a matter of fact, I'm putting my TV on mute just so I don't have to hear him sounding like a 2 year old. ENOUGH already.
Pack Mr. Bushy off and send him on his way back to TEXAS.

If he mentions democracy and freedom one more time I will go nuts!!

No, I'm not sad. These are tears of joy. How I won't miss thee :'-)

"Final press conference... That phrase just gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

What, is this like his 4th press conference in 8 years? Amazing how "handled" this president is... It'll be sooooo nice to have a President that actually enjoys talking to us.

Sorry to see Bush leave, not making fun of all the atrocities that happened during his term, if you take all the other things he has had the highest reality show ratings this decade.

Don't waste your time W – spend the time packing. Just GO.

He can't leave soon enough. All that matters is that the country is finally rid of him. He's left us in terrible condition.

Via con Dios. Dios is in the foergiveness business start there.

Anything he says is meaningless and thankfully he has reached the end of his rule. It is pathetic that we let him stay in office. He should be tried for war crimes and treason.

Hey George watch out for shoes!

What important events did he have. All downers, lies, lies, and more lies. The more he tries to say positive things about the last 8 years the more people know that he is and will go down as the worst president in History.

Wouldn't it be ironic if nobody showed up?!?!

Because he's not going to say anything worth printing anyway!!!

I have been waiting a long time for this. Hopefully this will bring 'closure-atation' to 8 years of ineptness.

I can only imagine what profound insights he will have (obvious sarcasm).

Final press conference? When was the first one?

Ladies and gentlemen, please check your shoes at the door!

I just bet he's "looking forward" to discussing the last eight years. I have a few questions for him about illegal torture and wiretaps, but he won't answer those either. This man (and Perino) need to take their lies somewhere else, and the sooner the better.
