@WELCOME TO THE OBAMA SHOW
Can YOU wake up and ease off the Caps Lock key?
Good Riddance. Thanks for nothing.
"Welcome to the Obama show" are you related to Gov. Palin? Sounds like you 2 idiots are from the same village. Who's your leader?
Correction – Christmas Eve is on Wednesday. Christmas is on Thursday. The Bushes will be sitting down tonight (Wednesday night) for enchiladas.
I want to thank Pres. Bush for all the good he has done for our country and sticking to his beliefs when others were on his back. I am worried about the future with the next president. I don't trust him or believe he will accomplish what he says he will.
PRESIDENT BUSH AND MRS BUSH PLEASE PRAY FOR US AS YOU RETURN TO TEXAS.
I hope they choke on it!
Its Christmas eve folks, cant we all just let it go, and wish everyone/anyone and all a
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND BETTER NEW YEAR
How can anyone think Bush kept us safe when 9/11 happened on his watch?
So does that mean when there's an attack while Obama's president, we'll hear republicans scream fowl about how he didn't keep us safe?
Are people really this ignorant?
Merry Christmas Bush family. You have been the object of relentless negative media bias, but fair-minded grownups know the challenges that were laid before you and that your administration worked hard for the security of this country.
Now for you hateful Libs that will fill up this, and any other non-Obama-related bloggs, with your idiotic hateful posts – Merry Christmas and I hope the new year will beat or teach some manners into you!!!!!

Thank you President for keeping us safe since September 11, 2001.
History will be kind to you. My biggest concern is that the next administration will destroy all of our hard fought gains.
Thank you President Bush and the great men and women of the military.
Merry Christmas,
To al of you
-------------------------------–
I know it's Christmas Eve but I GOTTA ask, what the hell kind of "hard fought gains" do we have? Are you KIDDING ME? As far as being attacked, we have been LUCKY, it's nothing that Bush has done, the fact he wanted to sell our sea ports to Dubai, Saudi Arabia should tell you that much. My heart goes out to our military suffering needlessly in a country that did nothing to us but our current president can go to roasting HELL.
Merry Christmas yall.
Disgraceful....why don't Bush, the Mrs. and the TWINS who escaped the Iraq war go to a homeless shelter and either serve or god forbid eat the food po folks eat. Oh wait, I am confusing Bush with the new PRESIDENT OBAMA.
Sickening.
i LOVE YOU FOOLS THANKING BUSH. KEEP ON. THAT IS WHAT THE REPUBS LIKE PEOPLE LIKE PALIN TO THINK. DIVIDE AND CONQUER.
THIS ALL HAPPENED BUSH WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 9-11 HAPPENED ON BUSH WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LET THE BLAME FALL WHERE IT BELONGS ON BUSH
Maybe he'll choke on his tamales if he becomes finally aware of what he has doner to our economy, military and our Constitution and takes responsibility for being a terrible President. Even Pat Robertson is critical of him. UGH!
President Bush and the entire Bush family–I hope that all of you have a Merry Christmas and the best to all of you in 2009. President Bush, I want to thank you for keeping us safe during your presidency. I want to thank you for the kindness that you showed to the families of the lost soldiers in the Iraq war. You don't see anyone commenting on this–I want you to know there are a lot of Americans that feel that everyt decision that you made, you made because you wanted to keep all of America safe. And when Obama takes office and finds out that he CANNOT end the war as soon as he promised people he would, then everyone will know that keeping all of us safe is not such an easy thing to do. May whatever you do in the future bring you happiness.
They should have a "No footwear" rule.
Merry Christmas, you S.O.B. Thanks for letting terrorists kill 4,000 of our soldiers. You sir are a true menace. Thanks for putting us in a war we shouldn't have been. Thanks for letting our economy slip. Thanks for finally LEAVING!
