History will not be kind to the views of Bush’s critics.

Once his Medicare brainchild collapses the economy, people aren't going to care about Iraq.

The true verdict of history will happen in 50-100 years, and will be written by the Chinese. If Bush is succeeded by Obama, he will be book-ended by Clinton and the disaster of Obama. The chaotic and open borders will only be one facet of this. The economic destruction wrought by Obama will be the most salient factor.

first I voted for him twice..and got what i deserve
open borders
massive government programs
massive government debt
illegals stealing government services
loss of private property rights
loss of millions of manufacturing jobs
gutting of our manufacturing base
billions spent for Foreign aid (aids in africa)

on the plus,,no new 9/11’s, Iraq Saddam's government gone,
libya disarmed, lower taxes..and 2 new supreme court justices who might just be better than average.time will tell.

I do not know what history will show, but I do know I will not vote the lesser of two evils again,never again.

What a steaming pile. President Bush may be many things but “a quitter” he aint. Every pontificating, holier than thou hypocrite who “knows” he could do a better job should be either calling for his impeachment...or STFU!

On the contrary history will not be kind to George W. Bush. The imaginary Bush painted in this fantasy 'resignation speech' doesn't exist and never existed.
This Administration began with great promise but was sabotaged from the beginning by the Clintonistas and Gorebots who challenged and delayed the transition long enough so that larger than average numbers of liberals, leftists and common variety 'Rats were able to remain in their entrenched positions within the federal bureaucracy, and our new President actually encouraged it, do the names 'Norman Mineta' and 'George Tenet' ring a bell?

Oh there have been some positive improvements due to this Administration, the first of which was the restoration of dignity and integrity to the Executive Branch. I have never once wondered in all of these past eight years if George W. Bush had some fat azz slut of an intern whiffing on his woofer in the Oval Office like his depraved predecessor did, and I never once saw that President laughing and joking one moment and suddenly 'turning on the tears' to fit the occasion as one William Jefferson Blythe Clinton did (and was captured on video, it's on Google and most people have seen it). George W. Bush is a sincere man, sometimes (especially in this second term) sincerely WRONG, but he's sincere in what he thinks.

Post 9/11, I think President Bush provided the leadership necessary, the inspiration Americans needed, and I was in the front row of his cheerleaders supporting him. He liberated Afghanistan from the grip of the Taliban after they refused to turn over Osama bin Asshole, and they paid the price for miscalculating American resolve (a brief information footnote: it has been long forgotten now, but in August of 2001, there was a news story on the wires about the Russian government filing a note of protest with the Taliban for 'naming Osama bin Laden the commander-in-chief of their military forces', essentially making OBL an Afghanistan government official. I mention it only for the benefit of the chowderheads who try to claim that we had no justification for military strikes on Afghanistan).

When it came to Iraq, he had every justification to take out Saddam and his scumbag sons, based on a.) U.S. policy making regime change the official position of our Government, indeed enacted by the Clintonista misAdministration, and b.) Saddam's continued defiance of U.N. sanctions (to which the U.S. was a signatory), and Saddam's persistent firing upon U.S. planes enforcing the no-fly zones. Anyone who thinks that Iraq would be better off with Saddam in place hasn't considered the ramifications of having not one, but THREE nations in that region (Iran, Iraq AND Libya) pursuing a nuclear weapons capability, because you can be sure that Saddam would not have allowed Ahmadinnerjacket to acquire an advantage over Iraq, Saddam knew all too well what happened during the Carter-instigated Iran-Iraq War that lasted eight years, Iraq got their ass handed to them for their trouble.

Unfortunately in this second Bush term, we have seen our Commander-in-Chief lose his focus and his resolve. Instead of aggressively going after the other two legs of that 'Axis of Evil' he told us about (you all remember it was Iran and North Korea, right?), he decided to let the peace-at-any-price zombies at the State Department run the show, and that is why that phuckwit appeaser Christopher Hill is practically giving back rubs to Kim Jong Il in hopes of 'improving relations', and Condi-the-Piano-Player is talking up the idea of opening an 'American interests section' in Iran, even while America and Iran remain in a technical state of war based upon the Assahollah Khomeini and his thugs invading, violating and occupying our embassy in 1979, which was and remains: U.S. soil.

Just because Jimmy Carter spent the last year or so of his abortive Presidency with his thumb rectally inserted in himself, doesn't mean that once 9/11 took place, that George W. Bush did not have the means or the justification to take out the Islamofascist garbage in Tehran. And he should have.

I haven't even begun to touch on the fiscal irresponsibility of this Administration, and despite the fact that we are at war, there has been nothing but spending like a bunch of drunken sailors, and our President apparently was unable to find that veto pen until REALLY late in the game.

Likewise, the failure to effectively shut down our porous borders and round up the illegals running amok is something that history will not just be unkind to George W. Bush about, history is going to condemn and savage him for it.

All this Administration had to do was to put somebody like Congressman Duncan Hunter in charge of the Department of Homeland Security instead of Michael 'Skeletor' Chertoff, and people? We would have secure borders today and illegals would be getting shipped out of America and back to whatever place they call home.

Over 60 million Muslims are now breathing free air thanks to George W. Bush liberating Afghanistan and Iraq in his first term, too bad the Iranian people and the North Korean people got the short end of the stick in his second term.

There's still a few months left, but if Iran is going to be dealt with, it will have to be by our one true ally in the region, and that's Israel.

And nobody is going to deal with North Korea, Comrade Chia Pet is laughing his ass off at George W. Bush and you can bet on that.

Some legacy.

McBush will not be getting my vote.

How did you like that recent Habius Corpus ruling by the Supreme Court? The next president will appoint at least 3 justices that will rule on such things for the following 10-20 years.

Who would you rather appoint those justices, McCain or Obama?

Did you sleep through high school?

Yes, he didn't need a HS education to get into college just as he doesn't think he needs any sense to win the White House. He thinks he's entitled.

She was confirmed 96-3 with one abstention. Even Bob Dole voted for her.

I don’t think it makes much difference. McCain was bragging to some wounded Clinton harpies/harridans last week that he supported the nominations of Ginsberg and Breyer.

We’re doomed.

You talk about judges, while our entire country, our entire system has been undermined and compromised by tens of millions of people entering this country illegally? During war time yet? I wanted a conservative President. Not some phony. I supported Hunter, and now I'm supposed to support McCain?

That just isn't going to happen.

Let me tell ya, be it McCain or Bama...This aint going to end well, and I will not be a party to it.

Very smart, politically. McCain's going to win in November because he's been able to pick up Hillary supporters that are bitter about Obama. McCain is far from the conservative we wanted, but he did have a reasonably conservative voting record before 2000 when he had to "rebrand" himself.

Okay, well if you feel there’s no difference between McCain and Obama, I guess I can’t help you.

You are absolutely correct. Politics makes for strange bedfellows.
