Did anyone see President Bush's farewell address

http://wnww.c-span.org/Watch/watch.aspx?MediaId=HP-R-14315 I missed it live on tv lastnight, so I looked it up on the Internet. I find George Bush to be a noble, humble and honest man; and quite frankly I think he put his heart and soul into doing the best he can for his country. On the other hand, we have not reciprocated.whipassmt

Why bother? It'd be just another bunch of garbled syntax, malapropisms, denials, and fingerpointings. Unless he's speaking as a defendant in front of a war crimes tribunal at The Hague, I won't waste time listening to him.bogaty

Was he the worst president? No. Was he the best president? No. He was mediocre president who will be remembered by how Iraq matures. I wont even bother talking about lunatic dick Cheney.

Could not agree more. I watched the farewell address live and i'll be honest, I got a little choked up, he was so sincere. Sure, he had his highs and he definitely had his lows but for the most part he did not deserve anywhere near the amount of awful treatment he received from the media and the American public. Above all, we should realize that after 9/11 he absolutely kept his promise of keeping us safe, and he fulfilled it superbly. I fear for our saftey when the new adminstration takes office.

Didn't see it, probably never will.

I didn't hate Bush, but didn't really like him either. I am rather neutral when it comes to him. I don't think he's an idiot or evil person like 95% of the world must say thousands of times. I just hope all the Bush-bashing vanishes when obama is actually president.

If there is anything to say about 9/11 and Bush its that as Noam Chomsky says himself, all dictators where jumping in delight at 9/11 as now they could use terrorism as an excuse to tighten there grips and pass orwellian laws.

All conspiracy theorist nutjobs such as Noam Chomsky jump at the chance to say such a thing. Are we living in an Orwellian state? Not yet we're not. But as soon as Obama is inaugurated we will be a hell of a lot closer. The government is going to increase measurably in size, as well as government involvement in just about everything. It's happening already with all these bailouts, the government is getting more and more involved and taking more power in areas where it would traditionally reside in the background. That sets a scary precedent. And what, dare I ask, are these "essential liberties" that we have given up? None whatsoever. The Patriot Act is in place to keep us safe, not to intrude on our daily lives. If you have nothing to hide, then it has absolutely nothing to do with you.

Wow! Just...wow. What liberties were lost under Bush? Well, here are 487 pages of them as compiled by the house judiciary committee.

To be honest I stoped reading after you called Chomsky a conspiracy nut job.

I can't say I personally hate the man and I definitely don't think he was out to destroy the country, but good intentions only mean so much and the man repeatedly dropped the ball during his presidency.

I look forward to Obamas presidency. He is finally putting in some fresh ideas into the exectuive branch that we have been lacking for quite a while now. Sure I don't expect him to magically fix the economy or magically fix our foreign relations, but I can't wait to see what programs he puts into place to help our society, such as the tax rebate for college IF you do 100 hours of community service.

I'd hate to see what him not trying would be. Actually, I take that back.

They must only get Fox News up there in Whip Ass Mountain.

i watched it and enjoyed it. to all that provide relentless criticism, questioning how able a president he was, id just like to say: 1: America cant exactly be an easy country to run by any stretch of the imagination. 2: "Errare humanum est". I for one will miss his smurky grin and texan charms.BiancaDK

I'm tired of the Democrats using the Judiciary Committee for their politically motivated witchhunt against the Bush administration. All they want to do is make Bush look bad so that if Whacky Baracky messes up he won't look so bad.

whipassmt, you defend him all the time, that's fine. He repeated over and over how we haven't been attacked since 9/11, forgetting that 9/11 was the first in over 50 years. .btaylor2404

All Bush did was whine about he was under-appreciated because he is.jazzkrotch

an honest man? yes thats why he will never truly admit his mistakes...maybe he should sit down with David Frost...SaintLeonidas
