What if he promised he'd keep us from another attack for seven years after 9/11. Would we have even believed him?

The public and Dems in congress were overwhelmingly supportive of the Iraq war. Blame them too?

Oil prices were Bush's fault... how?

Nagin & Landeau were FAR more culpable than Bush for devastation in New Orleans, but I'll agree he could have done much better.

Economic collapse is fault of dems demanding FMae & FMac give away the store. Bush tried to stop them.

If you're going to lay anything at Bush's feet, try these: he listened to the wrong experts for three years on Iraq; he trusted Putin; and he refused to veto a disgraceful binge-spending GOP congress.

But looking back to 9/12/2001, I never imagined we'd have it as good as we have these last seven years. The notion that Bush is the "worst POTUS in history/this century/whatever" is a media myth.

Texas can welcome back their village idot

Bye Bye Mr. Bush ......... How much have you lost in the market....I bet nothing and that is just what you are NOTHING !

====The Clinton presidency was terrific.====

Sure it was. Sunshine and roses. And none of this happened on his watch...

I was born and raised in Dallas, can't this president return to the land from which he hailed from? He was not born in Texas, He is from New Haven, Connecticut. Please 'W" don't settle in Texas, you'll screw that state up completely and the good people of Texas don't deserve the rath of you twice. Wasn't eight years of hell enough, now you have to move to Texas?

Beloved ranch? Careful with spending?

Christ, you should be embarrassed publishing this crap.

I love Mrs. Bush and wish her the very best and a very happy life.
My wish for Obama is that he will get the same treatment that Bush got from all the liberal creeps, especially the press.

Hey Buzzsaw:

1. We have not had a domestic Muslim terrorist attack post 9/11.

2. We are winning the Iraq War

3. Oil prices have declined steeply - does Bush get blame for a price rise but no credit for a price decline?

4. Sorry to inform you that Bush does not cause hurricanes nor is he responsible for the negligence responses of the Mayor of New Orleans and the governor of Louisiana.

Bush is open to criticism but let's stick to facts.

I thought Bush was heading out to his new ranch in Paraguay to escape extradition.

Let's agree on something here for the Holidays. We should all treat the Presidents, fmr and fut, with the same degree of disdain, hate, and venom. So GWB is an idiot, a simple man who knows nothing, a fool, and a drunk. The incoming guy is another idiot with a nice smile, a wife with greviances, a bunch of kids with expensive piano lessons, the incoming guy also has questionable past including being pals of bombers and copkillers. He's also a hard drug user, just that we don't know if he was a drug dealer himself. How about that. Poisons flow in both directions and there are bucket loads of them for both sides of the spectrum.

Welcome Home President Bush

Hope you and Laura enjoy Texas.
Hope to see you there and enjoy yourselves. There is alway's room for a better place in Texas.I don't like what you went thru in the White House from the Democrats but it's over now.You & your family can begin too enjoy life and never have to be mistreated ever again.You will alway's be My Favorite President."May you be Blessed" what ever you choose to do after leaving office. You and your family will alway's be in my prayers.

May God Bless You & Your Family

WE DO NOT WANT HIM IN DALLAS!!!!! THE AREA WHERE HE IS LOOKING TO PURCHASE AS WELL AS BUILDING HIS JOKE OF A LIBRARY IS ALREADY ONE OF THE MOST CONGESTED AREAS IN TOWN. MOVE TO CRAWFORD.

CJ,

You have a mouse in your pocket? Because I love the idea of him moving to the Dallas area.

Mrs. Bush is a terrific First Lady. Pres. Bush, well, not so much.

As a proud Texan I am happy to welcome President and Mrs. Bush back to the Lone Star state. He has sheparded this nation through dangerous times and led the fight for liberty in a part of the world desperately in need of being brought into the 21st Century. History will vindicate him and establish his role as a truly transformational figure, much as Harry Truman has been vindicated by history. It will be fun to watch those who have posted hateful and mean remarks to this article moan when The One disillusions them and recevies a healthy dose of what they have heaped upon the Commander in Chief and a good man.

The Clinton presidency was terrific Sue and we were in a surplus not a recession like we are now...hmm go figure! We also didn't have thousands of U.S. soldiers dying in Iraq.

W: Worst President Ever.

If you don't understand that,read up on Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance. You'll learn that individuals blithely ignore information that threatens their preconceived notions.

And Gawd bless Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. They're all SUPER patriots! We should just abolish democracy and let them rule. Kind of like that past 8 years.

====The Clinton presidency was terrific Sue =====

I agreed. Sunshine and roses. Surpluses as far as the eye could see. As long as nothing whatsoever changed. Let me ask you, did anything change? You can rewrite your own history, I'll stick to actual history.

==== You'll learn that individuals blithely ignore information that threatens their preconceived notions.====

Too bad you don't realize it applies to you too.

ghost>> I propose that stupid people must leave this country.

No; I'd be so lonely... ;o)

Seriously, it's true that Bush was Pres on 9/11/01. But take the longer view: how many presidents participated in establishing the environment in which that horrible event took place (including my beloved Reagan, who first ill-advisedly sent troops into Lebanon, then removed them in a way that signaled weakness to our enemies).

9/11 was a whole new page in our history. If you will blame 9/11 on Bush, you must blame Ft. Sumter on Lincoln, and Pearl Harbor on Roosevelt. These unprecedented events may seem obvious to the Monday morning quarterback, but on the ground, as the game is playing out, I don't believe they are nearly so easy to see.

Far more telling -- or certainly AS telling -- is what has happened since. The Iraq war is, from all accounts, won and waiting patiently to be proclaimed so. There has not been another successful terror attack on American soil since 9/11 -- a statement no one believed seven years ago we'd be able to make today.

Bush was not a perfect President. In many ways I don't think he was a very good one (he certainly taught me that an ability to communicate VERY WELL *IS* a job requirement for President). But he has been, I believe, an honorable man who has put his country first at every turn, and has kept it safe. For this, if nothing else, I respect him.

Bush haters rant on; I've heard it all.
