Bush’s TV Farewell
Set your TiVos: President Bush will offer a formal farewell to America on Thursday night at 8. His televised address, before an audience in the East Wing of the White House, will be his last public appearance before Obama’s inauguration. While heartfelt reflection has been the customary theme of presidential farewell speeches, don’t expect Bush to drop to his knees in self-reproach. At a press conference this morning, he said some parts of the Iraq war “didn’t go according to plan,” but he assured the public that America’s reputation abroad is still strong. According to White House press secretary Dana Perino, the president will talk at length about the challenges facing the nation and the Obama administration, and he’ll likely impart some wisdom to the president-elect (like how to ignore your critics).
...meanwhile Dick Cheney will quietyly slide back under that rock.
Who is it exactly that Bush is referring to when he said "(our moral standing) may be damaged amongst some of the elite"? Does he mean those of whom he said in this OTHER speech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mn4daYJzyls): "This is an impressive crowd - the haves, and the have mores. Some people call you the elite. I call you my base." So, the only logical interpretation is that members of Bush's "base" (as he calls the elites) believe that our moral standing has been damaged.
Farewell indeed, "President" Bush - you stupid, miserable, pathetic wretch! Watch for a lot of flying shoes when you no longer have an executive security detail protecting you!
Thank you.
