DALLAS -- The new couple at 10141 Daria Place accepted an invitation to a neighborhood dinner party last month. The guest list totaled eight. The main dish was chicken potpie. George and Laura Bush left their cul-de-sac in the back of a dark sedan, exited through a Secret Service checkpoint and rode down streets bordered by lawn signs adorned with gigantic Ws to welcome them home.
It had been a bad week for the country. President Obama spoke on television about the burdens he had inherited in office: anti-American sentiment, two wars, a recession. But it had been a good week at 10141 Daria Place. The Bushes shared stories over dinner about their return to Texas after eight years in Washington. They had improved their sprinkler system and hung custom-made green drapes. Neighbors had brought over homemade cookies and a potted houseplant.
Not until late in the dinner party did the former president speak in any depth about his two terms in the White House. He told one of his favorite stories, about a trip to Bucharest, Romania, in 2002. More than 200,000 people had come to hear him speak in a town square, he said. The sky turned dark. A cold rain fell. The Romanian president introduced him and -- look at that! A huge rainbow emerged on the horizon, and the Romanians burst into applause.
"Magical," Bush said.

Well, I was expecting the idiotic lib jab somehow when it comes to the washington COMPost, but Dubya is enjoying his life which is the bottom line.
Inherited? Everything that happens now is OBAMA’S.... end of story. No response on N Korea, IRAN, or Pirates...PATHETIC!
Somehow I don’t think That One and his Missus will be quite as humble when they leave the White House.
Well, lookie at the American people inherited! Treasonous leadership...pandering to enemies...oh never mind - I could go on and on and on and on (and on).
May GOD Continue to BLESS OUR GREAT PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH and LAURA BUSH, Two Wonderful American Heros and Patriots and just Outstanding People...:-)
What President Bush must be suffering and enduring as he watches ZERO singlehandely destroy OUR DEAR AMERICA!
It is going to be a long, long time before they leave, my FRiend. And the United States of America will be totally and completly destroyed.
I quit reading the snide piece after the 1st page...they’re still trying to show him out of touch and unpopular.....I would bet 60% + just might want President Bush back after this doofus they elected....
My, what a stark contrast to the present occupants of the White House.
~~PING!

“How did you make your decisions in office?
*snip*
The students were too star-struck to take notes. Bush stood at the center of the classroom, at home in the 33 percent, and offered an early summation of his presidency.
You make your decisions based on principles, he said. And you never worry about popularity or polls.”
The kind of event that the press in the US covered grudgingly and briefly, if at all. 200,000 people came to hear GWB speak about freedom and loved what they heard.
You found the key ‘pull quote’ from the article:
President Bush:
“YOU MAKE YOUR DECISIONS BASED ON PRINCIPLES, HE SAID. AND YOU NEVER WORRY ABOUT POPULARITY OR POLLS.”
Any problems not "inherited" are the fault of Rush or some other "Right-Winger".
They may not actually ever leave the White House!
I can easily see Dear Leader as President-For-Life, as his counterparts in theology, Vlad Putin and Hugo Chavez, seem to be.

WITH A REUNION PLANNED, BUSH EASES BACK INTO THE PUBLIC EYE
[Are pigs flying somewhere?! — the NYTimes has managed to publish an almost snark-free article about President Bush.]

“It is going to be a long, long time before they leave, my FRiend. And the United States of America will be totally and completly destroyed.”
Then we have nothing to lose at this point in fighting these bastards!
leave or as i hope, turf them out on their asses on the way to jail.
I know that I do. I noticed the snide implications, but they would be surprised how much people are going to end up liking President Bush after just a few months of Obama.
I agree..
“He lives squarely in the remaining 33 percent. “
I am proud to be one of that 33%... I had some major problems with some of Bush’s policies (amnesty, signing campaign finance reform, not pushing the surge a lot sooner, the bailout )...But he is a great man and the current occupant of the WH pales in comparison.
