Probably the only good thing to come out of King George’s bumbling rule is he probably ruined any chance of Jeb ever getting elected president.

And what about the grave injustices towards the gay community, which Mr. Bush chose to ignore or admit was a mistake. It was fine and dandy for gay people to support him when he ran for elected office; it was fine and dandy for him to accept gay taxpayers money as income; it was fine and dandy for gay soldiers to go to battle putting their lives on the line not only for their President but all of America; and then after all of that, it was fine and dandy to treat gay Americans as second class citizens not worthy of protections from hate crimes and equal marriage rights. No, I am afraid, Mr. Bush you need to go back and review things – seems that you have missed a few!

You really can’t get a feel for how weird this press conference was unless you see the video. If anyone gives a lecture on the term “dry drunk,” they should show this video. He was a *mess*…

Man I can’t wait for his 8 years to be over. I listened to his press conference, and he must be on some really good happy pills. 3/4’s of the people in the us can’t stand the guy, most of the world can’t stand him.

“I disagree with this assessment that, you know, that people view America in a dim light,” he said. “It may be damaged amongst some of the elite. But people still understand America stands for freedom.” Uh sure… it will when your gone, and we give back people back their rights under the law. We are a nation of laws not of men. Ya dumb ****.
Well not quite true, gays, etc still need their rights yet. But thing’s are looking better with gerneralismo bush out of office. We plan to have a big party here the day he leaves.

I still believe Ronald Reagan to be the worst President. Those old enough to remember the Reagan administration know that he sowed the seeds of hate that live to this day in much of Republican politics. Let us not forget, Reagan was a man that was content to see gay men die and to say absolutely nothing about it.

Bush II will go down as a poor President, no doubt. But essentially, he just ignored the gay community.

He can keep on trying to defend it, but it’s a lot like watering a dead plant.

It reads as though he claims none of these as HIS mistakes, however. Mistakes were made, by those who didn’t/couldn’t find WMD, by those who hung that banner and placed me beneath it, by those who responded to Katrina. But it was he who FALSELY pushed the WMD and invasion, at all, it was he who argued against nation formation even for a nation we dismantled, it was he who, not only appointed “Browney”, but who cut ALL funding for the FEMA program to predict and locate supply bases for huricane relief in his third month in office. He still takes credit for turning America away from its constitutional essence to a macho, torturous empire.
