So, the chimp is "sorry" I lost half of my retirement.

[deminks]

and he is so "sorry" you lost your job. And he is really "sorry" my neighbor lost their home. Why are you "sorry" now, George? You couldn't find anything you were sorry for during the last 7 1/2 years. I don't accept your apology, un-felt as it must be. You made it happen, on purpose. It is your recession/depression, George. Worst. President. Ever.

WASHINGTON – President George W. Bush expressed remorse that the global financial crisis has cost jobs and harmed retirement accounts and said he'll back more government intervention if needed to ease the recession.

"I'm sorry it's happening, of course," Bush said in a wide-ranging interview with ABC's "World News," which was airing Monday. "Obviously I don't like the idea of people losing jobs, or being worried about their 401(k)s. On the other hand, the American people got to know that we will safeguard the system. I mean, we're in. And if we need to be in more, we will."

The U.S. economy fell into a recession in December 2007, the National Bureau of Economic Research reported on Monday. Many economists believe the current downturn will last until the middle of 2009 and will be the most severe slump since the 1981-82 recession.

On the war in Iraq, Bush said the biggest regret of his presidency was the "intelligence failure" regarding the extent of the Saddam Hussein threat to the United States. With the support of Congress, Bush ordered the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003 — a decision largely justified on grounds — later proved false — that Saddam was building weapons of mass destruction.

Asked if he would have ordered the U.S.-led invasion if intelligence reports had accurately indicated that Saddam did not have the weapons, Bush replied: "You know, that's an interesting question. That is a do-over that I can't do. It's hard for me to speculate."

1. he is sorry, period

[sarcasmo]

2. The Junkie way of saying he is sorry. While he still has his crack.

I mean land and money in Paraguay.

[aquart]

3. He still took zero responsibility for it.

Although we now have clear evidence his administration was warned about this destruction just as it was warned of the al qaida destruction. In the end, which do you think will have killed more Americans?

4. In his exit interview with Charlie Gibson tonight, he blames Clinton.

I shit you not.

[davidwparker]

5. No way. KO is on. Let me go see what he said. Clinton is not my favorite, but

times were good during his presidency.

9. OMG, that is just pathetic. And I don't know why it should surprise me.

There was a time I'd be furious about that, but I'm too numb to be angry anymore. I doubt most people even believe anything he says anymore anyway.

I do want to see that interview though, and will look out for the video.


Edit: Here's the video if anyone else is interested.

6. You can't spell "Who, me?" without "W."

I got up and left the room as soon as he said he didn't feel any responsibility.

[Canuckistanian]

7. Yeah, just like he's "sorry" he blew up those frogs

Unemployed people mean nothing to him. He's never been unemployed.

Even when he had nothing to do as a young man, he probably had a $2000/month budget to do nothing with.

The unemployed are like three-legged people to him. He knows they're theoretically possible, but he's never seen one in his social circle.

8. Actually, he didn't say he was sorry you lost half your retirement.

He's just sorry you're worried about your 401k. See, it's your fault not his. And it isn't an important loss, you're just worrying.
