Bush's Final Days: Charles Gibson Interview Dec. 1, 2008

[rvbboy11]

I like Bush for the same reason I liked Sarah Palin and the same reason I like Bachmann. They are easy to make fun of.

[SkullKing11841]

I think he would have been a good president (or at least a decent one) during the cold war. Similar to the Generals who led the first 4 and 6 years in Iraq and Afganistan. But hopefully people learn from there mistakes, or as some of them were "complete and utter fuck ups"

[emaresea]

Does he REALLY think he did a good job? REALLY?

[agger12343]

His daughter is hot!

[gombis666]

Camp David looks a bit rickety

[skirbyr]

bush was a GREAT president. look at the fool we have now, god help us. obama? you guys who voted that fool in are crazy ass liberal pieces of shit. go mr bush.!

[MrEatonbeaver]

"Along with other smart people." It is been established that he's not one, but who are these "other smart people?" Every time he starts a incoherent sentence with "rarely", it's another fuck up. Lipless wonder.

[TheCrawfordable]

I Miss Bush. I want Him back

[tjames229]

you know, George Bush doesnt seem all that bad of a guy in this interview. sure, he shudnt have been president of the United States, but he seems like a guy u cud just chill with and have a good time

[XxMushroomkingdomxX]

@THEinspectigator quick, give us 10 examples with valid proof. Your not elaborate enough to have your opinion valued.

[adidasbros]

cunning man

[Belegaer]

Bush has some balls lol

[john48martin]

Oh My God, you are the most unimformed person on the planet. Do you get your disinformation from Rush Limbaugh? What are you talking about? Health care would insure almost 100% of Americans like it does in every Western Democratic country in the world.

[manichh1]

@john48martin both of my grandparents came from Croatia...moved back and forth many times but finally decided to stay in america because they both have cancer and cant get the treatment they need in other countries..as you know countries in europe are about as close together as our states and they could not find any place like the United States where they could get the care and treatment to prolong both of their lives...had they stayed in europe where healthcare is a disaster they wouldntbealive

[manichh1]

@john48martin fuck Rush Limbaugh..our healthcare system may not cover lazy ass fucks and illegals but it sure is the best in the fuckin world or else so many people wouldnt come for treatment from all over the world...

[john48martin]

You express yourself in the most immature way that i have ever heard. Are you saying that George Bush rolled over and let his critics fuck him while Obama is a strong, focused leader who defends his actions with substance or are you a 12 year old?

[eknick]

Bush is pretty well-spoken and frank in this, im very impressed

[john48martin]

"the spirits are up" Oh, yeah really well spoken for the biggest moron ever to speak the English language. He couldn't imagine a black man ever being President because as he says "he grew up in the 60's" and you know he hasn't seen much since then.

[CaptPoco]

Wow Bush is really charismatic in this interview... if only he could have turned on this charm DURING his presidency!

[manichh1]

right now democrats are in power...and their is more unemployment and debt than ever before

[john48martin]

You forgot what has been happening for the past 8 years haven't you? You forgot that the George Bush irresponsible drunken sailor steal all the money in the treasury and give it to Dick Cheney and Donald Rumseld's "former" companies policy bankrupted America. Quick, what did you have for breakfast? And don't ask Mom.

[MachinaSapien]

here we have it.

under bush, republicans considered huge spending to be "acting boldly"

when obama does it he's a communist/facist/socialist/evi­l/hates america LMAO the rhetoric has gotten so absurd its funny.

[manichh1]

i can just as easily say this: when bush was in office, huge spending and government growth was considered hes a dumbass war monger,

when obama does it hes the most intelligent man on the earth, hes the messiah, our hero,

obama isnt getting attacked nearly as much as bush did publicly, their were two sitcoms about bush while he was in office, and the shows were not pro bush...stop treating him like a victim

[philly1537]

Bush is the man dont be a player hater

[john48martin]

Unfortunately you have not addressed one of my points but you use bitch and fuck a lot for a "rational" college student. Do you want to respond to your comment that only 4% of people would get help? Who would tell you such crap. I can only believe you get your misinformation from Rush. Sorry about that.

[snakeinapple]

My parents were Rupublican before Obama and now they changed their views and voted for him. thats the kind of influence this great man has on everyone. Obama forever!

[roadkill200]

thanks to bush we are in war and many people lost their jobs

[mikewiz316]

History will show this will be one of our greatest presidents....20-30 years from now, he will be viewed Differently! You will see!

[broganwd]

Sure he will lol....

[tkissmart]

fuck liberals

[ecliptrix]

Can we have him back?!?

Can America get a obamarefund?

[LemonHead1270]

Bush is shit. But Gibson is awesome

[lawtek711]

Bush you fu_k up- You are embarrassment to the human race. In my personal opinion, I am looking forward to the day that you die.

[lullemans72]

everyone! did you hear what he said at 2:45??

''rarely does the american people''

sounds familiar?

[xitongzou]

Nixon ended the vietnam war. Bush started the second Iraq war.

[nadehh]

Bush doesn't care about present America. He just wants future generations to look back and sympathize with him.

[StarIessNight]

Bush.. you'll be missed =p

[redhead761]

John McCain lost because people were sick and tired of the HEAD Republican...GWB! He's a liar, a theif and glory hound. He wanted to be President to be President, not to do the job. He doesn't care what anybody thinks about him. He's an ass-hole, and if Obama won't initiate charges for war crimes onto him & Cheney, I hope some other Country DOES! He deserves to rot in prison with the rest of the criminals!

[patio87]

God his daughter looks amazing here.

[maorionly]

he seems like a nice bloke.

[fanaticfare]

RE: Fugitive Con

If terrorists were such an important threat, then why didnt Bush deal with them as soon as he came into power.

Enough speculations about why stuff happened though, all we can do is look at the facts:

1. We were attacked on our soil under the Bush administration

2. Bush has did nothing to catch the actual perpratrators of the attack.

3. Bush oversaw this country come under financial ruin.

[RockyBalboa211]

God bless him!

[FugitiveCon]

Conservatives will get the last laugh as we watch the big platform of Obama lies implode. It is the Conservatives turn to ride Obama at every turn & ankle bite & second guess Obama's every move & make his time in the White House as miserable as the left did to Bush.

[antijavi]

I don't think the Conservatives have the power to do that, especially since the Democrats also captured much of congress, so the Conservatives don't have much of anything. Fact is that the left making it hard for Bush only happened within the last two years when they took congress in 2006.

[FugitiveCon]

I know!! The dems have it all now.

Conservatives will get the last laugh as we watch the big platform of Obama lies implode. It is the Conservatives turn to ride Obama at every turn & ankle bite & second guess Obama's every move & make his time in the White House as miserable as the left did to Bush.

[FugitiveCon]

I voted for George W. Bush in 2000 and in 2004, and have never regretted my decision. I take a lot of heat from this especially since I still support him and his presidency.

Here is a compilation of my thoughts as well as snippets I have pulled from researching concerns I had in an effort to better help me defend my position:

[FugitiveCon]

In 2000, Islamic radicals bombed the U.S. destroyer Cole. Again, the Clinton team failed to act. By his own admission, Bin Laden concluded that his suspicion of American weakness was correct.

[FugitiveCon]

Bin Laden saw his theory of U.S. weakness vindicated during the Clinton era. In 1993, Islamic radicals bombed the World Trade Center. The Clinton administration did little. In 1996, Muslim terrorists attacked the Khobar Towers facility on a U.S. base in Saudi Arabia. No response. In 1998, Al Qaeda bombed two U.S. embassies in Africa. Clinton responded with a few perfunctory strikes in Sudan and Afghanistan. These did no harm to Al Qaeda & only strengthened the perception of American ineptitude.

[antijavi]

Interesting that 9/11 happened on Bush's watch and not Clinton's. Now our troops are being killed in massive numbers in a place Al Queda never was, but they are now.

[FugitiveCon]

Four planes into the World Trade Center would have been NOTHING compared to what terrorists would have done next if Clinton would have been in office 9/11! However, this fact is something that no one will ever really know because we have been safe on this soil for over 7 years; a credit I give Bush.

The "blood for oil" thing? If he were trading blood for oil we would've already seized Iraq's oil fields and let the rest of the country go to hell.

[FugitiveCon]

The "Bush Lied...People Died" phrase? If he were the liar liberals take him for, he could have easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be "discovered." Instead, he owned up to the fact that the intelligence was faulty. The rest of the world thought Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, same as Bush. Regime change in Iraq was official US policy before Bush came into office. Clinton established that policy.

[FugitiveCon]

The war was a mistake many say. What else could have possibly been the last straw if not 9/11 to FIGHT? The hell with what the world thinks of us. When they have four planes fly into buildings where people jump to their deaths, make heart wrenching calls home to moms, dads, husbands, wives before they know they are going to DIE...only then do I want to hear what the rest of the world thinks about this country and George W. Bush because after 9/11, I really don't care.

[XxMushroomkingdomxX]

@FugitiveCon Hold on to those thoughts..... how I would like to see the light drain from your demeanor as our uneasiness with the rest of the world becomes our downfall. How arrogant of you.

[FugitiveCon]

@XxMushroomkingdomxX

Coming from someone who lists their hobbies as: "My hobbies include smoking mushrooms and injecting star power. Sometimes I chew fire plants too. I'm afraid i'm an addict." I'll consider the source.

Futhermore, after A YEAR since I have written anything on this video, I'm not having trouble holding on to those sentiments...a year later! Did I mention it's a year later?

[XxMushroomkingdomxX]

@FugitiveCon hmmm yes. A sense of humor.... how human of me.

A year is so long right?.....There's no way in hell we'll pay for our arrogance if it's been more than a year since you said that. You don't particularly emphasize in deductive innovation do you? Honestly I think your perspective has been obscured in a very baleful manner. People not caring about the rest of the world's thoughts isn't very wise if you ask me. It scares the hell out of me.

[FugitiveCon]

@XxMushroomkingdomxX

Apologize to no one. Remind those of our sacrifice and don't confuse arrogance with leadership. If the rest of the world doesn't see our sacrifices then *#%$ them!

[XxMushroomkingdomxX]

@FugitiveCon How blind.

[FugitiveCon]

@FugitiveCon

How blind? I gave you a pretty visual picture of how great this nation is and has been to other countries. I haven't even started on what we have done and contributed on the victims of Haiti, but I see that any attempts at that will be lost on YOU! You're a lost cause.

[FugitiveCon]

[XxMushroomkingdomxX]

@FugitiveCon First off I wasn't debunking their opinion I was merely asking them to elaborate for my own learning purposes. I feel you were just trying to .....well "defeat" me in some manner. An argument should be held for dual learning purposes, not to feel dominant over someone.

[FugitiveCon]

@XxMushroomkingdomxX

No one is trying to dominant or defeat you. These are my thoughts. I make no apologies for them. I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not. If I worried about what others thought of me and changed the way I am to accomodate, then I would not be me.

[XxMushroomkingdomxX]

@FugitiveCon Well as Albert Einstein once said, "A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."

[FugitiveCon]

@XxMushroomkingdomxX

Well then, judging from your first reply to me, let me say, "A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."

[XxMushroomkingdomxX]

@FugitiveCon It's funny because my first comment wasn't for me it was for you.

[FugitiveCon]

@XxMushroomkingdomxX

No kidding? Yes, I got that!! Your first reply to me was, "Hold on to those thoughts..... how I would like to see the light drain from your demeanor as our uneasiness with the rest of the world becomes our downfall. How arrogant of you."

[XxMushroomkingdomxX]

@FugitiveCon Yes, I was saying that's why your comment "A person starts to live when he can live outside himself." 3 minutes ago didn't apply at all. I wasn't living for me when I said it.

[FugitiveCon]

@XxMushroomkingdomxX

Only your view is correct, right? Btw, God bless America!

[XxMushroomkingdomxX]

@FugitiveCon Hmmm......No. You deeply misinterpreted everything I said and in return didn't learn anything about my point of view. Your a coagulation of double standards. How lackadaisical of a response, to pit a non relevant personal belief against me. You live for America and no other country because you live in America, therefor you truly and infinitely only live for yourself considering you could have just as easily been born anywhere in the world.

[FugitiveCon]

@XxMushroomkingdomxX

Aw, and after you put so much effort into seeing my point of view. You're totally hypocritical and condescending. I gave you a list of 104,366 dead from our country for others.

[XxMushroomkingdomxX]

@FugitiveCon Actually I do see your point of view. I'm learning a lot from you, so don't lose your nerve and get personal. Your list was impressive, yes. But it was irrelevant. Our soldiers dying has nothing to do with how great we are. It could just as easily be taken as more of a reason to hate the fact you don't care about the world except America, and the fact that we are even at war.

[FugitiveCon]

@XxMushroomkingdomxX

YOur first comment to me was, "@FugitiveCon Hold on to those thoughts..... how I would like to see the light drain from your demeanor as our uneasiness with the rest of the world becomes our downfall. How arrogant of you." Now you want to say, "I feel you were just trying to .....well "defeat" me in some manner. An argument should be held for dual learning purposes, not to feel dominant over someone."

[Sethernis]

The man that never gets touched by anything. He seems like such a nice guy in private, shame his policies has been so muddy...

[RockyBalboa211]

Right with the economy, stupid clinton lol!

[RockyBalboa211]

Good man, God bless him!!

[RZetlin]

LOL.

George Bush blames the economic meltdown from actions 10 years ago when Clinton was in power.

[osiris2669]

He also thinks that jesus wanted him to be president.

[withthebeatles7000]

Retarded, clinton had awseome economy.

[study1]

What a moron-oh no, it wasn't my fault, I'll just blame everything on everyone else. The deregulation and free trade regulate yourself banking rules his administtation pushed is directly responsible for this economic mess, and Bush was right in the middle of it. He's too stupid and too arrogant to admit he is the problem.

[jerseybing]

george...don't let the door hit ya' in the ass on way out...and enjoy your time as you crawl back into the bottle...W knows the deal...driving around the ranch...drinking Jack Daniels is the way to go...'cause it won't roll off the front seat...he's no dummy...you betcha'!!!

[gamoonbat]

Leading a nation into war and economic turmoil!

[rell127]

I personally Don't like Bush but do any of you stupid extreme not regular but extreme wring wing nuts not he knows how to anwser questions. I wonder why Palin can't??

[WhyNotTruth]

It was YOU!!! and you damn well know it! He even tries to throw his own party under the bus!!

[zardcat1111]

Can't believe our country was dumb enough to vote him a second time in office.

[uyd]

This man is an IDIOT. THis mess on wall street is a result of a decade or more of radical deregulation of our financial markets which lead to dangerous risk taking, fraud, and greed based decision making. The problems have been compaounded by this dickheads failure to ensure proper oversight of our markets and his failure to respond in a timely manner to the nascent mortgaage crisis. GOOD BYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!

[toyracers]

this is going to be a backhanded compliment:

even if Hillary would have read the national intelligence reports, it did not include details that were only available to the president...

personally i has driven me away from the republicans is their attack on science. stem cells, evolution, Health class, and green technologies... i will not vote republican until they cut the religious right out of the base

[dearkgar]

What an incompetent dickhead...

...oh, yeah and Bush isn't so great either.

[CalexanderJ]

Good riddance!!! And yes Mr. Bush the 2008 election was a repudiation of everything you stand for.

[will913]

what a stupid oaf... 4,217 AMERICAN Soldiers killed in Iraq (so far) because of this oblivious "joyous" moron
