Bush-Eight Years Later

at least he admits | 12:58 p.m. Jan. 14, 2009

He never listens to anything or anybody that he doesn't already agree with....

Bush quote:
"Never really, you know, spent that much time, frankly, worrying about the loud voices," Bush said at his final news conference Monday. "I, of course, hear them, but they didn't affect my policy, nor did they affect ï¿½ affect how I made decisions."

And that, my friends, pretty much sums up his decision making process and his presidency in general.

Don't leave out the "gut" factor in making decisions - otherwise known as "what Dick says".

HATE | 8:25 p.m. Jan. 14, 2009

I don't hate George Bush.

How could you possibly hate some guy like him?

"Robert Gates"

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then President-elect Obama has paid President Bush a huge compliment.

Because despite all his anti-war campaign rhetoric, despite all his promises to his Loony Left base, and despite all his naive assumptions, in the end history will record that when Mr. Obama became primarily responsible for the security of the United States and the Free World he adopted the military policies of George W. Bush.

Don't pay attention to what people say, pay attention to what they do.
