SHARE Looking back on his eight years in the White House, President George W. Bush pinpointed incorrect intelligence that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction as "biggest regret of all the presidency."

President sits down with ABC's Charles Gibson for an exit interview."I think I was unprepared for war," Bush told ABC News' Charlie Gibson in an interview airing today on "World News."

"In other words, I didn't campaign and say, 'Please vote for me, I'll be able to handle an attack,'" he said. "In other words, I didn't anticipate war. Presidents -- one of the things about the modern presidency is that the unexpected will happen."

Heres a man who, while ignorant and disinterested in history, is totally comfortable with manufacturing a past out of whole cloth, without concern for the consequences.

After eight years of catastrophic Republican misrule our country is in the midst of the worst economic crisis since The Great Depression. There is steadily rising unemployment and bank failures, the credit markets are frozen. Ruinous wars have deficited the nations budget. With a total lack of regulation, there is staggering public and private corruption. People wonder, "What will be George W. Bush's Legacy?" FAILURE. TOTAL FAILURE. Bush sucks, and so do the idiots that voted for him.

When the young leader spoke eloquently and passionately and denounced the old system, the press fell in love with him. They never questioned who his friends were or what he really believed in. When he said he would help the farmers and the poor and bring free medical care and education to all, everyone followed. He said he would bring justice and equality to all,they said Praise the Lord. The young leader said, I will be for change and Ill bring you change, everyone yelled, Viva Fidel!

The University of Chicago Law School provided him with a fellowship and an office to work on his book. The book took him a lot longer

than expected and at the end it devolved into, guess what?

His own autobiography! Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self.

He entitled the book "Dreams from My Father."

He is the most narcissistic president-elect I have ever seen!

See, that's what is SCARY. Over half of this country daydreams about January 20th's Obama change. Even SCARIER is the fact that they are drooling over the idea of spreading the wealth, a Civilian National Security Force and Rahm Emanuel's talk of mandatory Service.
