I’m bettin’ dollars to donuts that, if he’s eligible, he’ll choose Arlington Cemetery. That would fit right in line with his public “character” as prez. What I mean is this: just as Bush shunned public judgment when it came to communicating with ordinary Americans (he needed a handpicked audience just to rise to the level of stupidus) he’ll shun the public judgment when it comes to bein’ buried.

It’s a shame. ‘Cause if he chooses any public place in Texas then I’m pretty sure there’s a spot in that state that I’ll visit some day, just to ah relieve certain internal pressures of perhaps the bladder variety. >wink wink nudge nudge<

:D

Does anyone know who is paying for the new house in Dallas
————————
As far as I know, President Bush bought the land and house. At least, insiders in real estate in the Dallas area say so.

It is to be near the Southern Methodist University, where the Presidential library for President Bush will be located.

Jeez pol, you need a long visit to the ophthalmologist! Dignity and respect? From the sound of it, even Laura is bailing on that pathetic loser. At least Clinton left office with a surplus in the treasury; Bush has blown that and put our children and grandchildren in hock for generations to come, he’s destroyed any respect we might have had in the rest of the world, he’s sacrificed thousands of our nation’s youth and untold thousands of innocent iraqi civilians to fight a made-up war that serves no purpose whatsoever but enrich Halliburton Corporation! Dignity and respect? The only difference between him and a crackhead is choice of drugs!

Bush promised to restore honesty and integrity to the White House and, in my opinion, he has not done either one. An honest man would not send our troops into war based on cherry-picked intelligence. And how can someone with such blatant arrogance have integrity?

Bush has allowed the NeoCons to rule the country for the last eight years and they have brought us two wars, a failed economy, millions of lost jobs, failing schools, infrastructure in dire need of repair and the list goes on. But the worst thing Bush did was to tarnish the image of the US among the world. And just because Bush states that he disagrees with that assessment, does not make it so. The man needs to wake up from his arrogant, delusional dream.

Only a fool thinks himself to be right all the time.

LOL!!! You’re kidding right, that’s a joke?
Bush was so busy f**king up the country, he didn’t have time to think about sex. I’d much rather seen him getting a BJ from some bimbo than putting our country trillions of dollars in debt for a phony war and ruining the economy because he was too stupid to pay attention to what was going on right under his nose.

I said this would be the worst president in history the day he was elected.

But then, there are those who are from out of town who might consider coming…

I’ll just wait for the consensus and be there!

Good question! We’re running out of time to decide. Can we have some choices suggested or how to you think we should go about making progress?

For 8 years, most of America has said bush is just not Presidential. And today, he once again proved them right.

Embarrassing

No, it’s going to be the pathetic quacking of the lame duck, getting an early start on re-writing history.

Obama is sure saying it needs fixing.

How do you explain that?
—

I think that Obama realizes, like everybody else, that Augustus Stupidus came waaay close to actually dragging SS to the proverbial bathtub (to drown it, in Grover Norquists infamous words).

To keep the “security” in the program — that is, to prevent the shifting of risk from Uncle Sam to the SS beneficiary — it needs some tweaking. Without some combination of new payroll and other income taxes, a new definition of retirement age and other elibility criteria the “security” will very likely be removed in the next generation or so (ie, risk will be shifted from Uncle Sam to the beneficiary).

It’s a smart move, imo. Just a wee bit of tweak can let a lot of steam outta Grover’s “ownership society” bathroom.

A similar program was tried in Italy.

No surprise that it failed miserably. Thankfully Bush wasn’t successful in unleashing this other economic disaster on the American people.

The personal and introspective assessment that President Bush delivered about his presidency at his final press conference today is not the president’s last word.

Bush will deliver a primetime farewell address to the nation Thursday evening from the East Room of the White House, Press Secretary Dana Perino announced today.

No time has been set for the address, and the White House has not yet received word on whether the broadcast networks will carry the speech live, Perino said.

It will run 10-15 minutes and will be delivered before a live audience, including “courageous people” whom Bush has met with during his eight years in office, his spokeswoman says. Think of it like the president’s box at the State of the Union.

“This would be the last scheduled public event before the president-elect arrives at the North Portico on Inauguration Day,” Perino added.

“This is not going to be a swan song.”

Bush will “defend his record,” she said, but he will not be “looking to refight old battles… He will reflect on his time in office and the ways our country has changed these past eight years. He will also uphold the tradition of presidents using farewell addresses to look forward – by sharing his thoughts on greatest challenges facing the country, and on what it will take to meet them.”
