Closing Arguments: The Long Bush Goodbye
January 12, 2009 11:49 PM
A candid President George W. Bush met the White House press corps today for a final time.
He reflected on a tumultuous eight years in office and looked ahead to life after the presidency.
It was a remarkable moment. He was at times repentant; defiant; even funny.
"I just can't envision myself, you know, the big straw hat and a Hawaiian shirt sitting on some beach," Bush said. "Particularly since I quit drinking."
So tonight, we ask you: How do you think President Bush should spend his time after he leaves office?
Tell us what you think.

Rotting in prison for his violations of the Constitution and war crimes

How about being locked up for the rest of his life as a war criminal? Of course, I wouldn't want him to be lonely. Cheney should join him in the cell.

I think President Bush should spend his time appologizing to each and every American citizen for ruining this country

I think Mr. Bush should dedicate every moment of the remainder of his life to helping Veterans.

What should Bush do in his retirement?
Go to his local Hallmark Store and buy every note card he finds. Then start writing apologies to every American citizen he has hurt through war, greed, self-serving "leadership" and a complete disregard for our futures.

Relax at Gitmo for a few weeks before Obama closes it. I hear they have a great waterboarding school.Sounds like fun.

I think Bush should spend the rest of his days inprison and writing letters of condolences and apology to the families of those soldiers he murdered in Iraq because of stupidity and arrogance.

Caring for the permanently war-wounded in the U.S. and in Iraq.

People here it here, The day will come when you find out G.W. Bush was one of the greatest presidents of all time.

He should be waterboarded, have a bag put over his head, beaten and then all of his retirement money should be donated to help our debt. He and Cheney drove our country into the ground. Shamed us on the world stage. Destroyed the constitution and buried us in debt. Bush and Cheney both should go to jail and don't forget Scooter.

Well everyone beat me to the punch, but I think it speaks volumes that the majority of us thought the same two word phrase immediately upon hearing the question...... "IN JAIL!"

"People here it here, The day will come when you find out G.W. Bush was one of the greatest presidents of all time." What the hell have you been on the last 8 years, and how do I get some?
Dubya has easily been one of, if not the worst President we've ever had!!
