Actually, though, as far as I remember, the Bush Administration had only one conviction--Scooter Libby. How many did Clinton have? 20?
While clinton led with convictions...
“We did not shirk our duty.”
Classy.
Some people go to DC for awhile, then home. Others want to hang around after they should’ve gone home, like the guy who never really gets over his high school days and keeps hanging around. Others are like stalkers, trying to track every move someone makes, anticipate the route, interrupt any conversations.

God Bless You, President Bush and thank you.
(they DO call outgoing Presidents “presidents” until they leave this earth, do they not?)
May your retirement bring you much happiness.
Easy to sleep at night knowing you gave it your all, you did what you felt was right and just, and you kept us all safe at home Thank you!
My answer: no where near enough
One thing is certain about President Bush. He is a man of character and class. That’s more than can be said about his replacement.
I thank God for GW. I can’t even fathom what our world would look like today if Gore had won. I wish the Bushs’ only the best. They were a class act. Never did President Bush deserve the treatment he got from the media @holes and the pukes in hollyweird. I’m glad they’re back where they belong. I know they were ready.
For all his faults, I will always be grateful to President Bush for bringing the Presidency back to where it should always have been, from a behavioral standpoint. He restored class, maturity and sobriety to the office.
Say what you will about his conservatism (which was lacking in many areas) but his ethics were strong.
I was so glad that, for the last eight years, I didn’t have to get up each day and wonder what flavor of corruption was tainting the office of the Presidency. I didn’t have to wonder who was preforming sexual acts on him under a desk, who he had groped, who he had sexually abused, who he had extorted money from or taken money from for political favors, and who around him was corrupt enough to harm our national security or political process for a handful of whore’s silver.
We didn’t have to consider ANY of those things for the classy First Lady either.
And the people GWB surrounded him with were largely clean of the stain of corruption and graft.
We may have disagreed with his policies, but we didn’t doubt for a second that they were there to do their jobs.
I know this for a fact because if there had been anything that the media and other liberals who suffered from BDS that they could have dug up, there is no doubt they would have, because they tried like hell.
But no matter. I salute President Bush for his steadfastness in a wartime situation. When everyone was trying to drag him down, he stuck to his guns.
Thank you, Mr. President.
I watched that speech in Midland. Very moving, the man has class, no doubt about it! After all the abuse Pres. Bush has received from the citizens he served, he is quite comfortable with the job he did and how history will remember him.
My guess is within four years, many of his critics will be looking back fondly at the “Bush years”.
He also said one of the things he plans to do now is write a book to record the thinking and actions behind the decisions he made while in office. I look forward to reading it.
