Bush souldn't be tired. His brain was on vacation for 8 years.

Idiota.

Instincts? What instincts? Bush has no instincts. He's a fake ... his only instinct is to pretend he is a real person ... after that it's all great big tragic joke.

I suppose because the elite powers installed him in the White House that he has some opinion of himself as possibly having some sort of actual personality (other then the fake one he developed drinking with frat buddies dodging the Viet Nam war), but all it is is a self delusion.

The day he got off the helicopter on the White House lawn for the first time after he was installed I knew he was a pure 100% fake. A pretender, hoping he won't be found out .... yuck yuck ... making jokes like he was just so comfortable in his role as if the whole thing was a walk in the park ... liar ... cheater ... war criminal.

Whatever he is now the experience of being a president didn't grow a real human being inside him ... he's responsible for mass murder for lying to the world and falsely claiming we were in grave danger from being attacked by Iraq ... Psychopath.

Thank you. You express it so much more reasonably than I did. That gusano.

More like free for all market.

Well people, I'm going to disagree with you all again.

The Bush Adminstration did exactly what it set out to do and did it well.

First, his tax cuts have transfer the wealth of the country to the few (his base). The money that would have been colected from the rich is now it is owed to the rich. Boy, that didn't do us much good.

Second, he took our country to war in the name of Terror to steal Iraq's oil and feed this base with milatery contracts. Which left nothing for the American people.

Third, he let the banking industry to run wild for eight years to put the country in to a resession so that the Democrats couldn't do any thing when they returned to power.

Fourth, his little war on terror played right in to the hands for enacting the Patriot Act on us.

Indeed. It's all cronyism disguised as capitalism. It never was about "free market instincts." That's all smoke and mirrors.

[ckesegi]

From what I gather, he operated the United States just like his early business ventures in Arbusto...

Directly into the ground.

So, in a sense, he never actually lost his particular brand of business savvy, or lack thereof.

Witty observation

[NYC10107]

So, looking back on it all...GW Bush wishes he'd followed his "Free Market Instincts" and let this country (and the world) go into a global depression.
How very sweet of him.

Aw shucks. He can tell a joke. Maybe the guy wasn't so bad after all.

Check that.

YES he was THAT BAD AFTER ALL! Worst President Ever.

Iraq
Environment.
Patriot Act
TORTURE!

Truly one of the most clueless human beings to ever draw breath on this planet. He will be cursed for centuries.

[sonoffestus]

He has alot of company many, many clueless people voted for him twice.
And there are still many, many clueless who will vote for a republican the next time around.
You folks are in BIG trouble.

[guitargeorge1964]

I doubt it. 20 years from now they'll elevate him to God status. Like they did Reagan. I just read Hunter S. Thompson's book, Generation of Swine. Thompson says many times there how Reagan would be hated as the worst President in history, because of Iran-Contra. Boy was he wrong.

[Itdoesnotmatter]

This stuff is starting to effect my health; I think I'am going to cool it for awhile.

[chronic]

LOL!

[moongal6]

It was one of the most difficult of his presidency". He says that about every F Up he did.

LOL, he is pathetic!

[guitargeorge1964]

Just when you think the Republican Party can't get any lower.

The President, who presided over the largest expansion of government in our history, who signed the bills on all those bailouts, is warning about too much government less than a year after leaving office? The same president who thought he was King is warning about his successor?

Reminds me of something.

"Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

[NANANACHMAN]

A failed presidency in every sense of the word

[sonoffestus]

A failed human being in every sense of the word.
