Will George W. Bush join Twitter?
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/10/14/art.bizstonebush.jpg caption= " George W. Bush meets with Twitter co-founder Biz Stone."]WASHINGTON (CNN) - After leaving the White House last year, George W. Bush has kept a low profile. He moved back to Texas and began writing his memoir. But on Tuesday, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone met with the former president. Bush said he just got a new BlackBerry. Stone, tweeting about his meeting, wondered if Bush will begin tweeting.
Someone has claimed the Twitter name @GeorgeWBush and added a photo, although there is currently no way to verify who is behind the account.

I don't know–posting coherent statements of 140 characters might be a bit too much for W.
President Bush, we miss you. We had no idea it would be this bad, so soon after you left office. Wish you great success with your memoirs, can't wait to read it. I wan't to hear about how you didn't get so defensive and rail out against those who disagree with you. If you hurry and write the book, President Obama could gain some much needed advice on how you coped, as you were hated and villified by some in the media. President Obama seems unable to maintain 'who he is'. Meaning, that while opposed to same sex marriage, he lends his praise and endorses contra family values. Understanding is admirable, respect is job one, but endorsement is hypocritical at best.
You were wrong many times and human as we all are, but you were true to yourself. If President Obama would just do that one thing, he
would be a better leader, but I still don't know who he is and I am not sure that he knows either. He is still being edited at press time.
How funny! Oh please Dubya..... we had enough of you, for EIGHT years!
Its just about his mentality. Personally, i don't understand the craze, but as long as he does not try to use any big words, he should be ok.
God bless you Pres. Bush. In time people will realize what they've done to this country by putting this clown in office.
i think he will...
Trinidad and Tobago
why ? and that's scary . If he's going there , everyone else should leave. Just means its for the crazies now.
only idiots will tweet to this...guy...
I used to think people who were villifying President Bush, were not patriotic. Boy, have I learned my lesson. Now I understand how that can happen. I beat myself up because I cannot be loyal to this President, because of who he surrounds himself with, and because he is on the wrong side of loving those unborn babies. I am still trying to find one good thing, that I can admire about the man's actions, his
positions and character. I do not care about his dreams, but I do not
wish any nightmares for him either. I just remembered something that I like about the President, he is a loving father, and therefore knows a lot about gratitude. They are his gifts, and In his capacity to treasure them, he must also admire their creator.
So he does know how to read and write?
No No Please No ---------------–
Don't Give Bush the Idiot a Twitter. For God Sake No. This is what he is going to Tweet:
1. Lying about WMDs of Iraq.
2. Oil Oil Oil Greed for Oil.
3. War War just War. No peace or diplomacy.
4. Put our Troops on Harmsway.
Let Bush Rest in Peace. Let him be Silent. He is no longer the President. We don't want to hear this Clown.
he should tweet an APOLOGY To the Citizens of this country for his disasters as well as to the Troops Families that have lost loved ones in his Lying Iraq war!
I must be twitterpated !
I'm still trying to figure out what twitter is good for.
A twit on Twitter....what could be more natural?
I thought he was already a member. He "twitted" away 8 years in the White House and did nothing else but twitter away our tax dollars, our credibility in the world, the safety of our military, the victims of Katrinia, etc., etc., etc.! Add Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest of the gang, too,
Naw. Don't do it Georgie. Stay in your nebulous-haze out in the back 40 of your ranch. Don't start no mess, won't be no mess. You dig?
Oh my goodness, i HOPE not
God bless President George W. Bush! America is being destroyed without you.
HEY, if Twitter is good for Sarah P., it should be GREAT for George W.
I have not ever tweeted, and because of people like this, I WILL NOT TWEET!
That is great. I bet he will enjoy the "internets".
Obama is a twit...
Bush is perfectly happy to lay low and let Cheney do his dirty work. In other words, BUSINESS AS USUAL.
Bush was just a puppet.
Bushie is such a moron...If he spells on tweets like he talks he will be even more unintelligable!
Tell ya what Dubya, sit down, shut up and stay on the ranch clearing brush, that's all you've ever been good for...
George W. Bush can't spell Twitter !!!!!!
