Default Farewell, President George Walker Bush!

He delivered his final address to the World today. Here's the link to the text: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/01/...ext/index.html

(Given his record, the last speech was actually pretty good.)

Let's leave our thoughts and comments about Bush's departure here ... no shoes please!

President Bush ... I disagree with 99.99% of your decisions, but you've made the past eight years quite memorable. I will most definitely miss your Bushisms.

Here's hoping to a prosperous Presidency for Barack Hussein Obama!

the first couple of his "Bush-ism" quotes reveal a very sad truth indeed....the truth gets blurted out through his stupidity!

first one: Americans harm their own country....when he says "and neither do we"

second one: himself illustrating the appearant illiteracy of the American people(not true in all cases!)

A visitor to Madame Tussauds poses next to the wax figure of US President George Bush, in London January 20, 2009. The waxworks allowed free entry to US citizens on Tuesday, the day of the inauguration of US President Barack Obama.


A man stands with a sign in the viewing platform area as preparations continue for the inauguration of U.S. President-Elect Barack Obama at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, January 19, 2009.
