Your farewell message to President Bush

Making for the exit

Osama bin Laden released a final message taunting America just as George W. Bush prepares to leave the White House. In 20 words or less, what would be your farewell message for President Bush?

I'm an Indian, residing in India.
The terrorists would have left most of you Americans dead or disabled by this time.
You would have got hit a thousand times in 8 years inside your own country.
Your children would have become orphans and you would have lost your relatives if Bush had not fought for you outside your country.
Look at india, the number of times we get hit, What crime did we do.

The last eight years reminds me of my childhood. 'Cops and Robbers' and 'Cowboys and Indians'. Thank God the hanging chads elections are over and a real leader has appeared. USA deserves this.

George W Bush is one of the best presidents of USA along with Abe Lincoln. While Lincoln saved the union by stubbornly prosecuting Civil War against the opposition of his own Generals and Democrats, Bush saved the super power status of US and the humanity by stubbornly prosecuting Iraq/Afghan wars against similar opposition.

[Matthew]

If you had set out to do as much damage as you could the the United States in your eight years in power, you could not have been more successful. You must feel very proud of yourself,

[Canadian]

Just get the Butler to escort him out..

[Nigel]

For leading the world into two illegal wars and then into financial meltdown....well done Mr Bush, we'll surely not misunderestimate your legacy

[paul doss]

i wish you a fair trial with no water boarding or other inhuman treatment to influence your statements about your acts of inhumanity and eroding of any democracy existing prior to you presidency.continue to read your bible and i hope that you find the true example set by Jesus Christ for his followers to copy .you can't love someone while bombing, torturing and performing other inhumane actions .good riddance .the world is well rid of you

So long, Dubya, it was a blast! Generally the road-side variety I admit, but a blast nonetheless. I fail to see why people have been so upset by what your policies have created. Didn't they know what to expect from a part-time born-again fundamentalist and full-time knucklehead who was surrounded by (and some suggest danced to the tune of) right-wing neo-cons like Cheney, Wolfowitz, etc. Thankfully, however, you've managed to do more damage to the US than anyone could have imagined. We can only hope that the process continues and your country becomes the quiet backwater and cultural wilderness it was at the beginning of the last century.

[John Nganga]

I think the US got what they deserved. G W Bush has worked sleepless nights for what he thought was good for those who elected him and re elected him. Now the US has Obama which means they are wiser. Can you Imagine anything worse than W.. . McCain!!!

[Kit]

I am glad I don't live in the USA, but still feel the need to throw in my 2 Canadian cents. Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Thankfully Obama seems like he has his head on straight, but we will see. But then again after what you did a parakeet with downs syndrome would look like a good president.

[Kidtamer]

Sure glad to see you go. Too bad you had to do so much damage before leaving. I hope that our new president has the courage and fortitude to undo all the harm you have done to this country.
Good riddance!!

[sheridan kathawaroo]

dear Mr Bush
Before you go, can you please explain what 'misunderestimated' means (and if I have the correct spelling.
thanks

[Donfield]

Don't let the door hit you in the aft cargo area on your way out.

[Carl]

I hope that January 2009 will be the end of family dynasties of either party in the American presidency.

[Kings]

President Bush, A man I live to love and Cherish, has done so much well that his detractors will not see anything good in him.

The GREAT BUSH, has, if not succesfully reduce the bloodtasty religionist, who believed to be helping thier god by fighting, killing and sheding innocent blood of christians at slightest provocation.

I want to point out that after OBAMA, USA, EUROPE, ASIA, AUSTRALIA AND OTHER CONTINENTS are going to miss BUSH. They seem to forget so early, that Same BUSH they are asking for his head went all out to protect America, and the entire World after the HEARTLESS AND MERCILESS SNUFFING OUT OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS,LIVES IN WORLD TRADE CENTER.

I wish Bush and His Family, God's blessings and long life. HURRAY!

[marva willis]

Mr. Bush,you walk the road of history and that's enough. you shall never be forgotten.
God bless you.

[mary mcwade]

Mr.President thank you for service.

The world is engaged in warfare that is worst in decades. I pray the next President will see the unseen enemies and have the courage and wisdom to deal with them. We cannot only fight with bullets and bombs.

Thank you Mr. Bush

[Jadev,India]

We love you..You are the man of great convictions and fresh thinking. Hypocritical Democrats have baited Americans with glib-talk of change. Obama will at least start two Iraq like wars. .If Clinton was President at time of 9/11, he would have nuked Pakistan,Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia(may be not Saudis..coz they pay for his campaign).

[Doesn't Matter]

Three most hated people in the past 100 years. Hitler, Osama and George W. Bush.

I will now go to church for the first time in 25 years just to thank God that you are Gone!! I'm sure you will go on and continue to pollute and make a mess of whatever you do.

[Samuel]

The President that made Jimmy Carter look good!

I have no doubt President Bush Jnr is indeed a warm, entertaining and loyal pal to his friends, but he must have been the most dangerous man in the world over the last 8 years.

I only hope that President elect Obama is strong enough to stand up to the Senate warmongerers and deliver on his promises.

[colin craig]

For every Franklin D. Roosevelt there has to be a George W. Bush.

[DARYL HOLMES]

You have been the president as long as my feeble mind can remember. Thanks for that thing you did with the world and all that tomfoolery. Have fun in your new job as the Indian senator.
PS, is that US senate seat still taking bids? Love you Bush! xxx

[Manhattan Cat]

Thank you, Mr President, I wish you all the best for the future. I am sorry to see you leave and even more apprehensive because of who's coming in.

[james Clarke]

Thank you for your endorsement.

[John Aves]

Dear Mr. Bush,

Congratulations on a catastrophic 8 years in 'power'. I bet you're relieved to finally be able to remove the puppet strings from your suit, and that you can finally go and apply for a passport. Your handling of New Orleans was embarrassing, your reaction when told about the twin towers left me (like you) speechless and the way you blatantly lied to the world just to be able to, essentially, go and kill thousands of innocent people is beyond me.

[Jayceeehh]

You were voted in by your people. You were more popular in the second election. So should the world blame, you or your people?

[Carl Gheller]

So much worldly power bestowed onto one human being!
So many stupid actions & mistakes unleashed onto the world from that one stupid human being.
Good bye and good riddens!

[Mailman]

Now who are you all going to Hate when GW steps down? Especially when the light worker takes over and it becomes illegal to criticise him!

[Neslhan]

What a relief for the world that you are leaving.

[David]

Good riddance.

The world will automatically be a better place next week.

[Lena, Denmark]

Dear George.
Just think about it: in 20 years time you might have a grandson, who loses his life in the stupid war in Iraq, that you started - and that never ends.

[Jeff McDermott]

Thank you for 8 years of pub talk!

The world know's your an idiot i dont have to reiterate!

[shadrack ominde]

We've got him.....!(Sadam)
what was he hiding? nothing pal...
&
You the most powerfulman on the planet did nothing as Mugabe cause crime against humanity in Zimb'....
you will answer for that someday.

[Wayne]

Really Ivan, what about those F16s that bombed bagdad back to the dark ages. You have proved you have no idea about anything outside US soil.

As for us international citizens, we are now hopeful that mass state terror will now hopefully decrease for a few years.

My message is simple, "Good riddance, mass murdering puppet and idiot."

[piruz macpherson]

The worst 8 years the world ever been thru!

[kim]

thank you president bush for the last 8 years.you did a fine job,i wish the best for you and your family.dont know what to expect from obama,really worried.....

[Gregory Nicholas]

Dear Mr.George Bush , You and Tony Blair did a great job.you carried out the tasks efficiently in eliminating the terrorists who have been the threat to the world PEACE-Wish you could have continue with your Presidential services for another 4 years. No one is perfect in this world. others may critice and curse you and Tony Blaire - But its God Our Lord who judges every humanbeings.
No matter what- we are yet to see Obama's capability in eradicating the terrorists.
Mr.Bush you brought freedom and justice to the people who have been suppressed and deprived of their freewill lives.
Lookforward to having you in the WHITE HOUSE again.
May God Our Lord Keep you and your family in good health and protect you all from every evil and harm - in JESUS Name- AMEN .

[piruz macpherson]

The worst statesman the U.S ever had! May others dont make the same blunders again. When he was in 'power' i see USA like i saw communist Russia, if not worst !

Hey GB,

Hope that you appreciate the irony of an illiterate man establishing a library. Hope it gets you some good learnin'.

And also, I hope that poetic justice is alive and well, seeing that your library is trashed, looted and burned much as were the great museums in Iraq.

[paul]

Thanks Mr Bush.....Most of these people do not understand what we a dealing with here. They want us dead, they want us to submit to their way of thinking. They will not stop until they are defeated or God help us that they win. The laws of war need to be changed to fit the situation. Been to Iraq and Afghanistan, I know what they are about.

[Owen]

George Bush leaves office with American in twice as much debt as it was when he arrived, the current figure is around $11 trillion.

He's delivered debt, death and division in his wake. Good riddance.

[nathan]

hey, you did better at hunting terrorists then gore would have done. but you should've canned rumsfeld before things got too far out of control.

[Fritz]

I hope that no more born again crackpots will be elected to the US presidency, I also hope you will face some sort of justice for lying about weapons of mass destruction.

You bungled the war on terror with the invasion of Iraq and caused massive human suffering. In short: You made Warren G. Harding look good!

[Jonathan Ross]

God bless you Mr President. You really proved wrong all those people who said there was no connection between Iraq and Al Quada. Because there is now.

[John O'Farrell]

You rose above the hatemongers, the US haters, the sewer dwelling leftists and biased media hacks to do a difficut job. Thank you.

[Ahmed Ali Al Zwahiri Ben Salaam]

This previous comment is so true: (Former) President Bush was nothing more than the elected REPRESENTATIVE of the American people and all that occurred afterward is the consequence of sitting on your hands, soaking up the good life and having someone else do your dirty work for you.

Voting your president (your electoral representative, your country's leader in everything!) is the strongest most powerful part of This Democracy; not using your right to vote is to not have the right to speak or not have the right to comment either.

We Americans got the president we deserved the last 8 years .. and yes some of us are still delusional that those were the best 8 years ever ... now lets hope and pray that the next 8-12 years will be the best ever!!

God (& Allah) Bless America!!

[Pramod Pandey]

Mr Bush
Thank you for your self designed style to combat terrorism and finish Saddam's regime. The world will be 'grateful' to you for so-called jamhuriyat in Afganistan and Iraq.

shame on you Mr President going.

It was a difficult time to be President Mr Bush - who'd want to be a USA President?!! Not me!!

Here in Britain, we have always be influenced by the anti-Bush stance of the Brtish media.....yet their own 'darling' Blair was never ripped the shreds in the same way - despite being the 'President' (if you like) of their country!!

I doubt Obama would have done any better as he stated he would want to kill Bin laden himself and no doubt would have encountered the same issues when eventually he would have been 'forced' to take
action of some kind in the gulf region.

Also, Bush is not an orator and openly struggles with this; you would have thought that with our stuffy Political Correctness here in this country we would have condemned the attacks on and offensive remarks about Bush's oratory shortcomings......but oh no, double standards as ever operate here in the UK.

Basically, like muppets, people in the UK dislike George Bush because the media majority here is predominately Left-wing and anti-Republican/Right/Conservative, and so surprise, surprise everything reported was always negative.
Bush, like Bill Clinton made countless blunders and so will Obama.

who'd want to be a USA President?!! Not me!!
