George W. Bush On Legacy: 'There's No Need To Defend Myself'

By Nick Wing
04/22/2013

"There's no need to defend myself," Bush said in an interview published over the weekend, in anticipation of an opening ceremony for his presidential library at Southern Methodist University. "I did what I did and ultimately history will judge."

Bush will be in Dallas on Thursday when the doors of his presidential library officially open, along with his father, George H.W. Bush; President Barack Obama; and every other living president. He's spoken repeatedly over the past month about the presidency that facility is meant to honor and has left the impression that he is content with focusing on being a new grandfather, golfing and painting, while avoiding public scrutiny over his decisions.

Speaking with the Dallas Morning News recently, Bush addressed his leadership on the Iraq War -- one of the most highly criticized chapters of his presidency -- saying that he was "comfortable" and "confident the decisions were made the right way."

USA Today also caught up with close friends and family of the former president, who said that Bush "feels totally at peace" with his record. Former Bush strategist Karl Rove said that he "has an inner confidence ... that what he did was right."

2. George W Bush* was the Surge, the Poster Boy, in the dumbing down of our Nation!

His mastery at butchering the english language, along with his incurious nature against reading and being aware of what was going on in our Country, as well as all over the world, coupled with the fact that he couldn't string a coherent sentence together if his life depended on it, did more damage to our Country, and its standing as a Super Power, than his lies that started two illegal invasions and occupations of Sovereign Nations that did nothing to us.

He was nothing more than an ignorant dumbass that a lot more ignorant dumbasses would rather have a beer with.




Peace,

Ghost

If anyone wonders what a Palin presidency would look like, just look to the eight years of George W. Bush.

He was Palin before there was Palin.

The I's have it! (Ignorance & Incompetence)

history wouldn't judge the Bush maladministration, twelve angry men with a coil of rope would judge it.

I don't believe they should send Bush to the electric chair for his sins. I believe they should build electric bleachers, so we can take care of the whole sordid bunch at one time.

So now we have two presidential libraries that could easily serve as "prisons" -- Nixon's and Bush's.
