Coundown: The Bush Legacy-Eight Years in Eight Minutes

[nagasnharpes]

Bush haters just hate bush because its a fad. The reasons people hate bush have no real reason, and mostly use made up facts. Bush wasn't a great president, but calling the worst president is just pure emotional argument, what about Andrew Jackson who made it a government policy of genocide, the only thing Bush did was start 2 wars that have relatively low casualties compared to other wars.

[username0727]

@nagasnharpes Well the patriot act should be enough for every American to hate him for any republican or democrat. Honestly I don't know how any real republican stands behind him. Lets see a conservative republican who expanded the government and created our patriot act and tortured innocent people and should be held accountable for all our of Americas dead soldiers along with all the innocent woman and kids that were killed due to our bombings of these countries

[MegaAldoN]

I hope there is a special place in Hell for the Bush family and their cronies.

worst. pResident. ever. and administration, minus Powell to some extent...

[Xerxes4242]

It's a fucking shame we have Bush Jr. (Jr.) in the office now. Can't Liberals EVER have a fucking voice in the USA?

[Boobalopbop]

Someone was sleeping with Mitch McConnell on the side?? GROSS!!! Turtle fetish much?

[Xerxes4242]

@cjpayn21 olbermann is hardly progressive. Reagan was more progressive than Obama. Fucking shame the USA is so clueless now.

[larsonbwl]

Are you better off Personally now or when Bush was president?

[ResearchForTruth75]

Wow, if he went off on President Bush like this, I wonder what he'll say when Obama leaves? Can't wait.

[larsonbwl]

@ResearchForTruth75 Oberman will ignore, minimize, or blame Bush for Obama's mistakes. Oberman and MSNBC have the fewest viewers of any of the cable new's programs. Fox Fair and Balanced.

[ResearchForTruth75]

@larsonbwl Well said.....

[brkitdwn]

@larsonbwl you are blind not to realize what a horrible president GWB was, despite Oberman or MSNBC. you think FOX because of it's ratings make them accurate. get real. wake! you and many others.. blind. do you study?? don't follow news channels like FOX, or MSNBC to educate yourself!! find the real facts, then decide who's telling truths or lies! Fox Fair and Balance is laughable, and a stupid statement. just shows how gullible people are.

[chetansingh2006]

Half of United States belongs to mexican even so called Bushy state Texas

[HENN3H]

hehehe not a big reader! reminds me of the simpsons movie, Schwarzenegger : "I was elected to lead, not to read"

[joefromkroy]

in the land of the free?????????

[Paolo7219]

This is an excellent video. IMHO it should get more circulation. George W. Bush was a total disgrace as President: rigid, corrupt, arrogant and incompetent. That's just on the surface. No President has EVER deserved to be impeached AND convicted more than George W. Bush. Nice legacy, "Dubaya".

[CosmicFork]

The worst legacy of the past eight years is that despite colossal government spending, most Americans are worse off than they were in 2001. This is because money was squandered in Iraq and given as a tax windfall to America's richest individuals and corporations, rather than spent on such projects as education, infrastructure, and energy independence, which would have made all of us better off in the long term.

[mydigitaltime]

The Bushes messed up our nation....

[walkermydawg]

granted bias, but entirely truthful

[BballPlayer2393]

wow... that was soooo biassed and one sided

[integral]

*yawn*

and the other side?

tell us how Bush "kept us safe"

that'd be good for a laugh

[9396451]

Bush, Cheney, Rowe, and all the rest of the gang should be prosecuted as traiters to the US with the stiffest penalities allowed by law

[WNxJihad]

@9396451 maybe you should be prosecuted for being a retard who can't spell "traitor"?

[beerasaurus]

Should have  listened to mr. bill.

[xtlhogciao]

times were good with reagan and times were good with clinton.

republicans need to just admit that bush screwed us. he's not the posterchild of the gop. i live in the chicagoland area and i will usually side with the democrats. but, the reason i brought up chicago, i think blagojovich is a dick. 

republican, communist, democrat, socialist, nazi(especally) some people are just dicks

[icecracker1]

what a shame, if we have another terorist attack, i will know its because of such people like this reporter, he watched us 8 years in the face of evil and teror, shame on you , the media has demaged the united states interest more then once.

[1MaGATOR]

Icecracker you are funny. This reporter did nothing but tell the facts. Let me ask you. What has Bush done historically that we can thank him for? Please dont dare say we havent been attacked since 9/11, It was under his watch 9/11 happend cause he didnt listen to intell. I curious for your answer.

[chtalm36]

the only good thing that has come out of this whole mess from Bush would probably be that the world has seen the worst president ever and i have a feeling this mistake wont happen again.

Elect the wrong, embrace the worse.

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA

Change, Hope, Believe..Success

[Starwind18020]

Bush is gonna wake up tomorrow and have nothing to do. Maybe he can go mow the lawn or something

1/20/09 THE END OF AN ERROR.

[Pimporly]

you will be missed Bush your honor!

[ahawhatever19]

What are you, an elf?

[ahawhatever19]

I hope you are joking.

[integral]

I think he means, Bush will be missed by the comedians. He made their lives a lot easier, lotsa good material.

[Drewski1316]

Wow this reminds me why Bush is one of the worst people ever.

[godzilla1]

You needed reminding?!?!?!? LOL!!!

[unknownorigin84]

Lets remember the good things America did while Bush was in charge! Oh wait...

[fedorvonbock16]

probally the most hated president ever. but manny of the people who dont like him dont know there behind from there elbow

[ROLtheWolf]

or even the difference between "There" and "Their" or even "they're"...

He deserves to be hated until he is at least contrite enough to admit to his mistakes - and not his window dressing mistakes (hanging the "Mission Accomplished" sign for instance), but the lies and the treachery his government used to convince our good nation to do evil on behalf of Exxon, Lockhead Martin and Haliburton. He won't be contrite, so he will always be hated.

Hoooraaaaahh for President Obama!

[vdubs4life1964]

What do you like about him? Remember, your talking to a Ron Paul supporter.. You better sugar coat it

[njzen1]

I am glad this moron is out of office and grown ups are incharge.

[M0N33R]

nice summary! -i donno if i should laugh or cry :p

[Pyr01]

its the truth. how is he an idiot? because you dont agree with him? or because ur a republiCUNT?

[marcusmalone]

Snap!

[Yankhadenough]

Spot on!

[Iblamebush55]

Any one who can still stand by george after all that he has destroyed should be hung for treason i am a Independent my self an i can say that every word on this was true an that all you people that still defend this man are Four of life that needs not even be named Retarted would be the understatement of the century.

[coffscoastmum]

What I don't understand is why he was voted in for another term??? Who is more stupid Bush, or the Voters?

[lanway13]

If you want to get technical, we didn't vote him in for either term. Both elections hinged on one state where the GOP basically pulled off election theft, by stopping the recount in Florida and rigged machines in Ohio.

[blackdove123]

He may be an idiot but bush is not evil by any means

btw thanks for uploading verizon fios doesn't give me msnbc

[Xearafe]

All of this is true and I don't see how anyone can see Bush from any other perspective. He was a puppet for the Rich and now just look around to enjoy his legacy. Eight years of chaos and failure. It makes me livid that so many have died under his leadership! There were so many places in all of this where things could have gone a MUCH different way.

[RevoltorAdapt]

What good fortune for governments that people do not THINK. Adolph Hitler

[blah11blah]

A lot of people here keep saying how Olbermann is biased or what not. The problem is everything he said was 100% truthful. Just because you don't like what he is saying does not make it biased.

[BrotherBabylon]

They say the best way to protect yourself from AIDS is to abstain from sex, OR, treat every partner as if they have AIDS and take the necessary steps to protect yourself. I think from now on every president should be monitored, questioned, and overseen as if they were president Bush, since I doubt anyone is going to abstain from voting for politicians, even though that is the only guaranteed way to avoid electing another Bush.

[DillonX]

Our GOP leader Ron Paul talks frequently of "blowback" & we definitely face that possiblity because of Bush.

Bush illegally invaded Iraq & killed 100,000 Muslims based on lies in behalf of Haliburton & the oil companies & then allowed Israel to kill thousands of women & children in Lebanon & Gaza.

It's unrealistic to believe that relatives of those murdered civilians won't employ "blowback" which could possibly come in the form of dirty bombs in 1 or more of our major US cities!

[SaveOurSovereignty2]

So let me get this straight, people see all this and still think the 911 commission report is legit?

Shame, what a shame

[AndrewRink]

Fuck MSNBC, biased ass liberal mother fuckers.

[Pyr01]

truth hurts bitch.

[RoflacTheSamurai]

i hate politics....

[ramcity]

I don't blame Bush for being who he is. I blame the the Primates who thought it was a good idea voting for him...TWICE! Could you people not smell a rat? Do you not know how to spot a loser when see one? Obama may be a puppet, like all other Presidents but at least he's an INTELLIGENT puppet. He's a winner! At the end of the day, a winner relates to a winner and a loser relates to a loser! So thanks LOSERS for fucking up this country!

[whitecollarcriminal]

I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY

don't blame bush.

blame the stupid conservative REDNECK MUTHERFUCKERS who couldn't see past his BULLSHIT, REDNECK, COWBOY BULLSHIT and HIS LITTLE TEXAS RANCH and his anti gay, anti-choice, BULLSHIT RHETORIC.

GEORGE CARLIN IS RIGHT. BLAME THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...THOSE IDIOTS POLITICIANS KEEP LYING TOO.

STUPID FUCKIN REDNECKS WANTED MCCAIN PALIN FOR GOS SAKES !!!!

THE PUBLIC SUCKS...FUCK HOPE !!!!

watch?v=efKguI0NFek

[wagashi]

When you don't mince words and tell it straight like this, it really shows exactly why these people deserve to be tried for war crimes. People tend to forget sometimes how corrupt this administration was.

[TheFlex21]

FUCK bush

FUCK obama

FUCK zionazis

[sampsonoff]

I hope obama does something...of course his hands are tied so he wont.

[RandleEl11]

"his hands are tied so he wont"

His "hands are not tied". He will not do anything because he is just another in a long line of puppets. Do some basic research and you will easily find this out for yourself.

[sampsonoff]

"basic research"?

and by that you mean your little propaganda youtube vids?

is this the whole Illuminati bullshit?

enjoy your perception of reality

[RandleEl11]

First of all. They're not "my" videos and I do not base anything off of any type of propaganda, in any way.

"is this the whole Illuminati?"

No, Obama and his wife are members of the CFR. The publicly stated goals of the CFR are:

1.) Erase national sovereignty.

2.) Establish a new world order.

All of his foreign policy advisers are members of the CFR and the Trilateral Commission. The Trilateral Commissions stated goals are the same as the CFR's.

[RandleEl11]

"enjoy your perception of reality"

Once again, it's not "my" perception of reality. I get what you are doing, but it doesn't work because the facts prove what I am saying.

Here is the reality:

thanks i will check them out.

[RandleEl11]

You're welcome.

I just want to let you know that I am not trying to start an argument with you.

Also, don't blindly believe anything that is not verified by documented facts in those videos. Look up each piece of information that you consider to be questionable to learn the documented facts.

Take care.

[WashMitt]

Bush will be remembered as a "Real Goodie 2 Shoes".

[robertmichaelwilkins]

don't mess with a man who has a 20 percent approval rating.

[OneLessTheist]

Bush is certainly one of the most self-centered egotistical egregious morons that ever was appointed to the highest executive office in the US. He will not be missed and I hope that the new administration has the guts to investigate and indict GWB, Rummy and Cheney on the crimes that they commissioned.

[dingcb]

the sound's better on this version.

[DWOLFE2002]

The most irresponsible, delusional, spoiled, self-adoring imbecile ever to hold the office of the POTUS... an embarrassment to our country and the poster-child for all that is wrong with corrupt and self-indulgent leaders. I hope he suffers for the rest of his life once the bubble dissolves.

[beverins]

BRA=VO

[cleolefty]

And yet there are still some brainwashed idiots that will still try to defend him. Bush has been a disaster and a disgrace to our country!

[knowfuture22172]

The sad thing is there are people out there who will STILL defend Bush after watching this or dismiss Keith Olbermann as part of the "LIEberal Media" (whatever the hell that means) without even paying attention to the facts.

[DillonX]

Sorry, but you didn't cover half the crap Bush has done.

[Hirnlego999]

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky

We know major toms a junkie

Strung out in heavens high

Hitting an all-time low

[cciemail]

this administration has fucked us so bad. these assholes need to be tried and convicted of war crimes!!!

[highcrimes105]

That was good, tho he missed so many nasty immoral illegal things.

[ischulz]

Don't forget vetoing health care for children because of his fear of "socialized medicine." Also, we must remember all the propaganda that went into this war, like the "Mission Accomplished" sign and that 2005 teleconference with U.S. troops being secretly rehearsed.

And then there were the twisted tactics in the 2000 election. And the fact that this man is a blatant anti-intellectual who doesn't even believe in evolution. And I could go on and on and on...

[bobsabin]

Amen.

[saper321]

Worst president ever. No debate. Everybody who voted for Bush should be fucking ashamed of himself.

[jaw872]

Worst president ever

[pigfister]

so he is lying scum that needs to be imprisoned with the rest of his cronies.

[bimblinghill]

Don't you dare elect a cretin like that again!

[GreatBigChangeComin]

Wish it was Bush in that turkey grinder in the Palin interview.

[PussycatGoGo]

If only his presidency was eight minutes.

[BootsyJ]

Good job Keith. I for one hope that you aren't wrong about all of that HOPE. It appears that all of the change that we were promised is looking more and more like the same old thing with each passing day...but only time will tell!

[kimmiesoo]

WOW. Daunting and sad. Hope Obama doesn't watch this before he gets to the White House -he'll run the other way as fast as he can.

[CAMARA99]

Totally complete.

What are we going to do with this mess.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Too much to digest in the time allotted. Even i was overwhelmed. This should have been a week-long 10-minute-special per night. Maybe they'll do an in-depth retrospective on the Bush admin in the coming weeks. We can only hope.

[rubensni]

No, the next retrospective should be in front of a federal judge and a jury. Bush says that the historians will judge him. I say they can have him.

[SaganAppreciationSoc]

Agreed.

[toosinbeymen]

Nice job, Keith. Great work summarizing the bush years.

[alejbr4]

well spoken, i'm glad that bum is gone next week!
