    For as long as I am alive on this earth, I will never be convinced that this man, select members of his administration, as well as individuals in Israel were not aware of the impending attack on the World Trade Center.

    For as long as I am alive on this earth, I will suffer the shame and humiliation that this man, select members of his administration, as well as individuals in Israel have placed on my pride and my honor in being an American citizen.

    For as long as I am alive on this earth, I will pray that justice be served for the countless victims, tortured, terrorized and sacrificed by this man, select members of his administration, as well as individuals in Israel.

    For as long as I am alive on this earth..So help me GOD.

    Hi knonemus,
    I have to agree.... in college when I drove a cab, I would never pick up a negro. Its just a probaability thing. black people are 7x as likely to be doing something criminal. There are plenty of black cabs to pick up their own. Hope you can understand.

    George W. Bush is going to have to wrap his brain around the fact that his presidency was soooo bad that the country was willing to overwhelming elect a Black man to replace him....future historians will look back at this election and wonder what the turning point was that made America so willing to go down this path..and they will have to look hard at the President that Obama replaced and ask themselves why...

      "his presidency was soooo bad that the country was willing to overwhelmingly elect a Black man to replace him" you sir (and I say that loosely) are a bigot and you are the worst kind of bigot, you probably don't realize how racist a statement that is. The view from this afro-canuck is that the country overwhelmingly elected an Intelligent man the fact that he happened to be black is inconsiquential, you dolt.

        Atlkewtie..Don't make assumptions.

        As George W. Bush goes on his worldwide legacy tour, ducking shoes from his adoring audiences along the way, attempting to change the world's views about his administrations' colossal failures, I continue to hold strongly to my original statement.

        Try as he might to change some opinions today to ease his way in the world in which he has to live, it will be those who look back generations from now (the future historians I was referring to) who will see this man for what we know him to be. Over and above who Barack was and what he will have done for them on which to pass judgement...If you don't think anyone who looks and those 43 white faces that held the office before him, coupled with the sad history of the United States as it relates to race, up to and including today, and not believe that they would want to find out what the last guy did or did not do for this country to be overwhelmingly willing to take that step, I cannot explain it to you any better.

        As far as this 52 year old Black American female is concerned (and I always capitalize the "B" in Black when referring to my Black race) the most intelligent, the richest, and the most powerful unknown Black men in America still can't hail a cab in Chicago, so let's not go there.

    G.W.Bush during your 8 years in office, you has offer nothing but bring shame, hatred, fear, disgrace and pains to America. You resemble and replicate back the past memories of the World War II to the extends of Guantanamo bay in what Nazi torture all about ,You are just disgrace to the US constituition and any human kind who had suffers during those period.

    You and Cheney and Limbaugh and O'Reilly and Hannity and Kristol and Krauthammer and the rest of them, it finally dawned on me how small and ignorant and afraid and stupid these right wingers really are fails to understand what the United States of America signified.

    You fails to understood on memorial that was not only dedicated to General Clay and our military. It was in a way also dedicated to me, and to every single American who believes in peace and freedom and humanity. A Memorial that still stand tall in West Berlin, now looks disgrace and shame with you as the President, Any American that walk through that place and at the same time, think of how proud we all are of America before,now being tarnished because of you.

    How proud we are of the role our military and leaders played before you in defeating Hitler, the man who brought about WWII and the horrors .This memorial was dedicated to the country, and those brave American???s soldiers who perished with their heroic actions in liberated the people of Europe from torture ,this now will forever stained.

    By the way I also read and going through the Biography of your late Grandfather Prescott Bush. I think I gather and some for my own knowledge of reasoning of your Ideology.

      you can't possibly think that anyone would believe that Bush chose not to take the advice of intelligent people around him. He chose to go it alone, congress and the house ultimately went along but he pushed is agenda like an airhead cowboy. He had lost too many brain cells in college and the world was the benefactor of his ineptitude. Get a grip and take your head out of the sand.

    George Bush is Herbert Hoover, anyone could have done better.

  • Posted By: sjbrock80 @ 11/12/2008 4:35:42 PM

    Not one person on these posts could have run the country better than Bush, Reagan, Carter, Clinton, Jefferson, Wilson, or any other President. Not one of you. So stop your whining and finger-pointing and know your place, along with me, as a non-President.

    He's the world's biggest terrorist and should be tried for crimes against humanity.

  • Posted By: msforgiving @ 11/07/2008 11:07:59 AM

    True... George W. Bush has ran a terrible 8 years but we do have to give him credit. Inspite of the ridicule that has come his way he has not showed anger or attitude of not wanting to see or respond to the people. So that I do respect him for. In life people take bad advice and this is usually what happens as for McCain and his choices.

  • Posted By: ICYEYES800 @ 11/02/2008 8:07:05 PM

    GEROGE W. BUSH will be remember much more kindly in the history books....because people are not inclined to recognize greatness when they see it... George is my idol, he's faced many bad issues that were not of his making and took the heat....People have bashed him, burned images of him, accused him of every crime imaginable...BUT, he STOOD....and I admire the fact that he's never been a whiner or a finger pointer...he's taken the heat that would have crashed a lesser man....Thanks George Dubya, You are a true man, with true grit, and stick to itness.....You stood by your commitments and you ran a great race..just know that there are those of us, who still admire you love of this nation. You called our troops to arms and they answered....and to prove that YOUR policies were the right ones..soldiers across the world are voting for JOHN MCCAIN, because he believes you have to finish what you start and come home with HONOR...

        You're both idiots - he will go down in history as the worst president this country ever had.

    mortherfreedom makes the usual political statement and, as usual, is incomplete. Yes, the Democrats were largely responsible for the Freddie/Fannie subprime fiasco. The Republicans added mightily with deregulation to the point where not even the fox was left to guard the chicken coop. The Fed kept interest rates too low, encouraging home prices to rise too much. The banks offered mortgages to people with reasonable credit history (not sub-prime) with fancy inducements like no-principal or balloon payments to the point where the purchaser could not adjust when required, counting on constantly higher home prices to carry the day. The investment bankers packaged the securities to the point where they were toxic, but not rated as such because the rating agencies were corrupt. CEOs and banking executives sold their souls to receive the extreme bonus awards that finanical chicanery allowed to look justifiable. The common denominator: extreme greed.

      You are absolutely correct.....corporate greed led us down this path and I wonder if they will be made to pay for it.....

  • Posted By: SYWanda @ 11/06/2008 1:43:02 PM

    One way to run the country and keep it free might be to uphold the Constitution. And not try to redefine the VP role to suit one's personal ambitions.

    Is chilitex a Bush clone? Like Bush,he lacks control of the conventions of standard written or even standard spoken English. Bush's sloppy sentence structure was an indication of a sloppy mind. The same applies to chilitex' comments.
    It's nice for once to have a president who has mastery and control of CSWE and CSSE.

  • Posted By: biller @ 11/06/2008 12:19:38 AM

    BTW: I totally subscribe to motherfreedom's last comment about all owning up instead of pointing fingers. The crisis is the result of extreme greed and malfeasance at the top of many businesses and agencies, both private and governmental.

  • Posted By: biller @ 11/06/2008 12:09:39 AM

    motherfreedom is -- as almost all partisan comments are -- only half right. The Dems were the major cause of the Freddie/Fannie fiasco. But there is a lot more. The Republicans deregulated to the point where not even the fox was left to guard the hen house, allowing corporate/executive greed to run out of control. The banks lent to prime (not sub-prime) people as well with mortgage instruments like balloon mortgages, no-principal mortgages, etc. that were impossible for people with reasonable credit ratings to pay and which provided no equity if housing prices fell; .... The Democrats AND the Republicans AND the corporate executives all exhibited extreme greed, leading to a national catastrophe that all the rest of us will end up paying for,

  • Posted By: motherfreedom @ 11/05/2008 4:00:03 PM

    Does anyone realize that this economic catastrophe was not caused by a Republican presidency? If you would like to check, the way was cleared for this type of operation by the Congress under Clinton. Clinton signed the bill into law. Bush owns the war, but the Dems. own letting the floodgates open for the financial mess. Check on Fanny Mae. Dems were overseeing that as well. We all need to open our eyes and see that everything needs to change in Washington. It would be refreshing to see if the people responsible in Congress, Dems and Republicans, would own up instead of pointing fingers always at others.

    My buddies told me how to distingush Sr. and Jr. Bush: both are George W. Bush, so confusing, right? But not so if you see Bush Sr.'s middle name as WISE, whereas Bush Jr.'s middle initial is a reversed W as M -- which stands for Moron!!!

  • Posted By: makramer @ 11/05/2008 2:46:10 PM

    Let's just hope that Obama can deliver... the hard part has only just begun for all Americans, because the world is watching and waiting to see what the future will bring;like it or not, the global village also has a stake in the USA's domestic and foreign policy manifestos.

  • Posted By: AnneCW @ 11/05/2008 2:42:50 PM

    Nice to see Bush still steadfast in his convictions of superiority. Unfortunately, we will be paying an enormous price for his failed policies for many years to come. And those who lost family members in the Iraq War will pay a price for all time.

    The rich got very rich during these last eight years; everyone else struggled. In retirement, Bush will surround himself with the ones who benefitted from the distribution of wealth we've seen under his leadership. ??? and will never be forced to confront his failures. But hopefully, he'll focus his remaining years on this earth clearing brush at his ranch and we won't have do deal with his meddlesome ways any more.
