The Last Bush Press Conference: Marvelously Out of Touch
Reader Comments
Worstest President Ever?
Let's see....
Start a war on a country that's no threat to us. Only 2 or 3 trillion by the time is all paid for. Thanks W, Dick, Paul, and Rummy! Paul said 6 months and 50 billion. Sorry, that was never realistic.
Blame the other party when they were not in charge in DC. Congress was Republican majority for how long? Oh yeah 12 long years (half were Clinton years, but he was shunted by the "by any means possible" Ken Starr. And the Contract on America. Puhleeze.
They give us the deregulation that gave us Kennyboy Lay and the Enron clan.
Bush
Thank God he is almost gone.
Barack Obama certainly can't make it any worse!
You want to make a bet? Cut Taxes, Health insurance, 3 million jobs, rebuild the American Infrastructure, Economic stimulus, bailout industry, bailout failing banks, rebuild the nation's school system and give teachers pay raises, and God knows what? Where will he get the money without breaking the nation. Talk about facing reaility. Guess what,the economic woes happened when the Democrats took control.

Bush whackies
Yeah, you Bush lovers are right. Heckuva job Brownie!! (Wait, why was he fired again??)
Bush Lovers: it isn't the "mainstream press" that is piling on; it's the 67% of AMERICAN CITIZENS who disapprove of the job he did.
Bush's distinction: worst President ever by a long shot.
Good riddance!
Poor Bob
You know the amazing thing in all of this happens to be that poor Bob Schlesinger wont even be a footnote in the chronicles of important people in the world in generations to come. His greatest fan has to be himself and that is alright. It is just sad that he doesn't realize it now when he could do something about it. What was the name of the other guy who gave a speech before Lincoln at Gettysburg?
Bush's last press conference
As one of the ablest American presidents famously said, no president can be forgiven for bringing this country into an unnecessary war, if we choose to forget everything else that happened on Bush's watch, including but not limited to how an incompetent crony was placed in charge of FEMA when even an average FEMA administrator would have had to use all his brains to the fullest, still not knowing if he or she had done enough, to ably handle a natural disaster such as Katrina. No one needs to be a Democratic or a Republican to see what a failure Bush and his administration have been. Remember the banner "Mission Accomplished"? After 4000 US troops have died and thousands of Iraqi civilians have perished and we still do not see when the Iraqi war will be ending. Wish nice retirement to Bush and his family in Texas, and early withdrawal and homecoming to American troops in Iraq!
Bush press conference denials:
Good riddance. Are we better off than we were eight years ago? No way! Bush is out of touch with reality, but claimed that he is not insulated. The economy is on the brink of a depression. He came into office with a surplus which he flushed away. He did not want to land Air Force One in the New Orleans area and take have the police reassigned. Why did he not land at a Military Air Base and take a helicopter. He rightfully met and acknowledged the helicopter pilots for their rescue work. However, he did not visit the refugees in the sports stadiums, and witness their actual conditions. He takes credit for no terrorist attacks since 9/11. Why did he not pay attention to the intelligence briefings about Osama Bin Laden from the Clinton Administration when he assumed office? Why invade Iraq, where Saddam Hussein was an enemy to Al Quaeda? It is a strong example of his Oedipal Complex, by which he wanted to eliminate Saddam, and prove that he was superior to his father. This can continue, but I am happy with Good riddance
Republicans including Bush don't get it
Katrina was a disaster of biblical proportions. Republicans still act like folks are whining about a little rain storm. How someone reacts to the unexpected is a true measure of a person and their leadership ability. Bush is a follower, not a leader.
Good riddance

W 43: Incompetence Personified
So here was bush getting indignant with the reporters for asking legitimate questions. As if we really need bush to state the obvious for us, hey We get that the economy has tanked on your watch, like it or not. Getting angry really helps to garner sentiment. What an utter, abysmal disaster this jerk has been. Yes it will take decades to undo the damage.
