George Bush Says His Farewells…
November 21, 2008 by PUMA Pundit
I must confess, I supported Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election. I thought George Bush was an idiot who did not know the first thing about well, pretty much anything. I held on to my perceptions till September 11th, 2001. On that day, Al-Queda struck the twin towers, which were a few blocks away from my office in Manhattan.
As I saw the towers fall, like other New Yorkers, I was in a state of shock, and initially panic too. However, when George Bush came on air to personally reassure a frightened nation that he shall keep us safe moving forward, I sensed that he was sincere, and promised to give him a chance to succeed or fail on his own merits.
My main concern was that this nation would remain safe, and remain safe, as I seriously doubted we could survive another 9/11. Thankfully, George Bush delivered on his promise, and 7 years have gone by without another major incident on US Soil. Our enemies might not have liked George, but they not only respected him, but feared him as well.
Anyway, he is currently in the process of saying his farewells to his staff and their families, a nice and thoughtful gesture by all accounts.
Excerpts from CNN:
WASHINGTON (CNN) – During a midday appointment at the White House, it is a surprise to see a young boy in a blazer and tie, walking in the West Wing corridor just steps from the Oval Office and anxiously clutching a shiny new baseball.
It is a sign of the times – and a sign of the president’s respect for those who keep the government working.
In his final weeks in office, President Bush just about every day he is in Washington is blocking out an hour of time to take farewell photographs with Executive Branch staffers and their families.
Aides say Mr. Bush wanted a chance to say thank you to those who work in the administration – as well as a chance to thank their spouses and children for putting up with the long hours. Not to mention sign a few baseballs.

He kept us safe my Ass! His getting us UNECESSARILY into Iraq that he & cheney KNEW had NOTHING to do with 9/11 , has cost us over 4000 troops! Almost twice what we lost in 9/11.
And just so that he, cheney, Halliburton, Hunt Oil Co. of TEXAS, & Bush’s other corporate buddies could PROFITEER on iraqi oil & over the corpses of the 4,000 troops that have been slaughtered in iraq!
Plus the GOP’s stupidity has evaporated the goodwill the world once felt towards us after 9/11 & has also created ALOT more terrorists overseas who want to kill us. No American feels safe travelling overseas thanks to Bush. So get real.
Let’s see how safe the nation is with the wimp Obama. Not to mention that Obama has ties to terrorists. I have already seen signs of terror rising since the election. I think the terrorists have just been keeping a low profile till BO got elected. Hope you have a bomb shelter ready for the next four years. You just may need it. So get real and lay off the kool-aid., it’s eating your brain cells.
PUMAs for Bush? Now I’ve seen everything.
Just wait until whatever Biden was privy to happens, will you still be so ungrateful for 7 years without a major terrorist attack on our Country? A large attack could mean millions of people dead. How does that sound?
We could also be fighting a war right here in the United States. How will that be for a CHANGE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN? Not to worry though. We’ll have the Black Panthers to stand guard like they did at polling places in Pa. THAT IS WHAT CHANGE LOOKS LIKE.
WellhungRichie,
your insults and bitterness will not take you anywhere. You are still dreaming on become a rich oil executive like Dick Cheney, but for now you are here bashing these wealthy pople that have worked all their lives to be where they are now.
You really sound pathetic. Just are like Biden when he called Cheney the “most dangerous vice president ever” just to please the radical left, but now is kissing this “dangerous VP ever’s” ass like nothing have been said.
80% of America approved the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Most people were doubtful of the Intelligence about chemical, biological weapons, but the main reason was the regime change. Searching for these weapons was a secondary objective. We are still not 100% certain wether Saddam had these weapons transfered to neighbor countries like Syria.
Even 6 months into the invasion over 70% of America approved that move. When Saddam was captured national pride shined accross America’s heart while a few angry radicals like you and Obama were hidding under a rock. When Alsalhawii was killed again our national pride shined. Where were you and Obama, WHERE??? Where was Cinndy Sheenan? Where??
Where was Obama when our marines captured Baghdad?? Where were you and Obama when Iraq had its first democratic election? WHERE???? Tell us WHERE????????????????
Obama and Biden are two of a kind: liars, fraud, inept, plagiarists, weak, incompetent and naive…. well, Biden is not as arrogant as his Kenyan boy boss.
“Mission Accomplished!” - June 5th, 2003.
G. W Bush has nearly destroyed the United States of America single handedly. His “I govern by my gut level feelings” has proven to be not only unintelligent, but dangerous. Dick Cheney is just as responsible, and was even more dangerous. Watch what happens when he is not there to keep the lid on the corruption the Bush/Cheney administrated used to rape the taxpayer. Haliburton, Blackwell and many other companied systematically overcharged us for services never provided. Then add the huge wigh income and corporate tax breaks, at a time when we are spending a trillion $/month on an unnessasarry war. Our childrens’s children will be paying this tab. Then add the irrepairable damage to our enviroment… the prevention of unfavorable reports on global warming from becoming public. Denying man’s part in the cause of global warming. Any person who looks back at 8 years under Bush who is not disgusted is just not paying attention. Barack Obama, with Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Bill Richardson, Tim Guitner, Rahm Emanuel and others are our only hope to right the ship of state. Any president-elect who can shoose such strong people to support the betterment of our nation may turn out to be a wonderful leader. Before we condemn Obama, let’s give him a chance to lead. BTW, no wimp becomes President of the United States. The path is too long and too hard to ever let that happen.
