Jack:

Bye bye ?

Jack

I want to hear him say: "GOOD BYE!"

Two words, Jack :

GOOD BYE ! ! !

Theresa from Ohio

BYE

The the the, that's all folks.

"You won't have Dubbya Bush to kick around any more."

"I was the illegitimate leader of this nation for 8 years as the result of stealing 2 elections, bribing likeminded officials in the Supreme Court and disenfranchising African American voters in Florida the first time, and promising political favor to the owner of Diebold Corp who's sister company makes engines for military aircraft the second time, for their role in stealing votes in Ohio in '04. I invaded Iraq to further the Corporatist Agenda of my financial backers in the oil industry and military industry, I consistently appointed people to high offices based on their political loyalty and not their merits, and made certain to destroy American credibility around the world so I could retire comfortably and impress the Elite Establishment of this country since I don't care about any of you. You were all my pawns and my slaves and I enjoyed every minute of it. Have a nice day"

I would like to hear a heart-felt apology for:

(1) the loss of life in Iraq, both civilian and military;
(2) the poor state in which he leaves our economy;
(3) the poor state in which he leaves our standing in the world;
(4) the destruction of Americans' savings and retirement dreams;
(5) the destruction of my children's and grandchildren's economic futures.

Personally I would like to hear him tell Jack Cafferty to kiss his butt!

Good bye, and I’m terribly, terribly sorry for ruining the country.

Dear Mr. Cafferty,
I love listening to your comments everty day you're on. You seem to be the only one that tells it like it is, and I appreciate that. Just like Campbell Brown say, NO BIAS, NO BULL.... Keep up the good work.
Ayers from Hinesville, Ga..

Jack, please I've heard everything I want to from George Bush, all I want to hear is GOODBY!

I would like the Bush farewell speech to be completely drowned out by the sound of a hundred million Americans singing "Nah nah nah nah.... nah nah nah nah.... hey hey hey.... goodbye."

What would you like President Bush to say in his farewell address to the nation Thursday night?

The TRUTH

If he is not willing to say the TRUTH then he shouldn't waste our time from "putting food on our families".

Jenna

Two words- I'm sorry. He doesn't need list all the things he should be sorry for, we all know what they are: the pre-emptive war to eliminate non-existent WMD's, torture, domestic spying, etc. He just needs to be sincere and truly remorseful- a little crying would go a long way in gaining forgiveness from the American people.

I want to hear the real reason for the invasion of Iraq. Iraq did not have missiles that could reach America, nor did they have bomber with in air refueling capability to reach our shores. Actually if Iraq's Air Force flew out of a well designed area they would be shot down by the USAF. Mr. President did you expect Iraq to deliver WMD's by FedX or UPS, was this the threat?

Not a thing, I just want to be rid of him. There is nothing he can say now, that will make up for the last eight years. Next Tuesday will be the end of an error.

"You won't have 'W' to kick around anymore"! Wait a second, that didn't work when Nixon said it. Maybe we should change the locks on the White House just to be sure!
David, Las Vegas

I would like to see him quietly exit out the back door saying nothing. I think he has said and done enough already, don't you?

I wanted to hear Bush take real responsibility for all of the disastrous, wrong-headed decisions and actions taken by him and his administration. He should have started with his failure to heed the prior administration's warning about Al Qaeda that lead to the 9/11 disaster. His unfair, counterproductive tax boondoggle for the wealthy that left us with this disastrous, record-breaking debt. The wrong headed war in Iraq that cost us our global credibility and moral standing while weakening our military and economy and strengthening our enemies in Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan while earning the enmity of the Islamic world.

His pushing for the deregulation and rollback of the very laws intended to prevent a re visitation of the great Depression that caused the meltdown of our economic infrastructure. And don't forget his ignoring any kind of scientific input, such as global warming, stem cell research and warnings of the impending disaster wrought on New Orleans by hurricane Katrina, and his administrations inaction before and after disaster struck.

I would have liked to hear him take some responsibility for his disastrous record as Decider-In-Chief, instead of expressing "disappointment" that the WMDs weren't found in Iran, and that the information planted at the CIA by Cheney wasn't truthful. Personally I feel better knowing that there were no WMDs in Iraq, meaning that this trumped-up threat didn't exist, and that the UN and our sanctions against Saddam were working. Of course that meant that there was absolutely no reason for invading that country.

The truth about the last eight years! Plain and simple statements of truth. We don't want him to play the blame game anymore, distort the facts, or pump up his legacy with inflated facts. Mr. Bush.......just admit your mistakes and take responsibility for once in your life!

It's been fun, It's been real, but it hasn't been real fun.

I would like to hear him admit his mistakes and apologize to this country and the world for them. I doubt this will happen, he is still so arrogant and out of touch with the American people. It is a sad legacy he leaves behind and he should be ashamed of many of the negative policies he and Cheney have put in place.

Healdsburg, CA

Goodbye.

Nothing less than a heartfelt apology for all the ways he has damaged this country would be satisfying to me. Acknowedging relatively trivial mistakes such as the "mission accomplished" banner is not nearly good enough. He needs to confess that the entire war was a horrendous mistake. And he clearly still doesn't think he did anything wrong with Katrina. And the fact that he still doesn't believe his actions have hurt America's standing in the world shows how oblivious he really is. So I'm not holding my breath waiting for a real apology.

Good-bye. The problem is: he is moving within 5 miles of our home. I'll probably run into him at Tom Thumb or Walmart. So even though he'll say good-bye some of will be saying hello.

Imitate Bugs Bunny and say: "Dat's All Folks," and mean it. To which I will shout: "Praise God from whom all blessings flow."

Ten minutes of dead silence broken by occasional heh heh's accompanied by his smirkiest smirk and both middle fingers in full extension.

Nothing, absolutly nothing. But I am sure we will hear the same GOP talking points just rehashed and re-arranged. The only time you will hear George W. Bush doing ang recycling will be in this speach.

All I want to hear him say is goodbye. I hope he has enough wisdom not to try to list his accomplishments while in office, because there wasn't any. If he is smart he would keep the speech short, wish everyone well and ride off into the sunset. He might very well be a nice person, husband and father but as for as I am concerned he was a lousy president that left us in a big mess.

After eight years in office, I would prefer not to have to hear him again.

Chris, Oklahoma City

A quick 'Goodbye' will suffice.

Exeter, NH

In my opinion bush/cheney the worst administration in US history.
I'd like president photo-op to admit he cannot have it both ways.

"The worst economy since Herbert Hoover? 'Look, I inherited a recession,' Bush replied. This problem started before my presidency.'"
Well bush spent years telling us how good the economy is, now that it's cratered, he claims to have inherited a recession.

And wmd's, the UN inspector Hans Blix said there were none, so maybe this is another bush/cheney lie? Just stop the lies.

Spin, Spinning, Spun, the word spin in an understatement, he lies, cheney lies, and beyond belief some still believe him, or maybe they're invested financially and have benefitted from him.

"You won't have George Bush to kick around anymore"

I want to hear him admit he has been a terrible president and apologize to the American people for the shape he's leaving this nation in for the next President.

That in hindsight he wishes he had kept his oath of office. He now believes that the Constitution is a document for all the ages. He now understands that law and the rights of man are to be the purpose of government not the victim of government.

I will cooperate with Justice Department investigations and resign myself to whatever sentence that Justice determines appropriate.

Didn't we already hear his feeble attempt to rewrite his presidency at yesterday's press conference? I'd like him to keep this one to one word–goodbye.

How about something along the lines of "I'm sorry" or "oops"?

What Bush says idoes not matter. He woulf look a little better if he acknowledged that he deactived the Bill of Rights unlawfully, and that a policy of torture was a mistake and morally wrong.

"The Truth shall set me free. Sorry that I misled this country with lies. Please forgive me for I have sinned!"

Steve,
Laguna Niguel, CA

I would like to hear honesty, first and foremost, with proper grammer, without made-up words (i.e. misunderestimate.) I would like an apology for bringing the United States down (pick a topic). I would like him to apologize to all of the widows, widowers, children orphaned, siblings, parents, uncles and aunts friends and significant others of the fallen soldiers from the Iraq war. Most of them were in their 20s. I would like him to see, on live television, scenes from the funerals (where they exist) of those same families as they buried their loved ones. Yeah, right.

I don't want to hear that moron utter anything resembling a sentence. I'd rather he'd just surrender to the justice department and live the rest of his life behind bars like other murders.

" I'm sorry I screwed up"

" Maybe I shouldn't have skipped so many classes and partied so much at school"

" My life has been a rich kids cake walk and now the country pays for it"
Or maybe just "I'm outta here good luck suckers!"

But was hoping for some honesty rather than the "protect my place in history" B.S.

I wanted to hear some accountability in his final remarks. Bush passed the buck on the lack of WMDs in Iraq. I would have liked to hear why we still haven't captured Bin Laden. Does this man really believe that Katrina was handled well? I find the lack of accountability appalling.

" "You're not going to have W to kick around anymore." I really mean that I will ride off into the sunset, avoid all media, and , quietly, without fanfare, give 40% of my money to fund shelters and food pantries for all who have lost their jobs and homes through my criminal mismanagement of the country."

Good bye.

I have been waiting to hear those two words, from Bush, for almost 7 years.

President Bush should apologize for the giant headache he gave America. He is leaving a migraine of biblical proportions behind. I want to hear a heartfelt, " I'm sorry " from the man. An apology could ease the pounding of our collective cephalalgia. A remorseful confession of bad performance will start the healing process.

I would like to hear him address those "idiots" who think we should not torture prisoners of war. According to their standards, keeping someone "awake" is inhuman treatment. Bush should remind them that we are SAFE because of him and his policies, but it won't be that way much longer when the bleeding hearts take over who want to give terrorists from Foreign countries the same rights that our ancestors fought and died so that AMERICAN citizens could enjoy those rights!
Terrorists deserve the same fate they had in store for us!

What would I leak to hear from Bush? I'd like to hear a prison door slam behind him.

Hi Jack:

America, I'm sorry!

Bennie,

I'd enjoy hearing him sing "So Long, Farewell" from the 'Sound Of Music'.
A falsetto could be prophetic. -Dan, New Orleans

goodbye and that he is sorry for what he has done to this great country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
doug in arkansas

I want to hear him tell the truth for once. I want him to apologize to the parents and loved ones of the dead soldiers in Iraq, and I want him to stop blaming his predecessors for the entire economic mess we are in now.

I have a legacy gift for President Bush. It is a picture of President Bush and VP Cheney standing on an aircraft carrier floating on water amid the debris/houses of New Orleans. Above them is a sign "Mission Accomplished" below which are people being tortured. Behind it are raging flames of the Mideast wars (3) and in the background is a huge mountain (debt). I thought it would be a good legacy gift.

The press conference was surprisingly interesting, I’m interested in what he has to say in a farewell speech. Do I agree with him? Basically never. Could I learn something from his speech? Yes.

The truth – plus and apology. Fat chance of either one so "Good Bye" is enough for me.

"Thank you and good bye". Cannot be said fast enough.

I would also like to hear from Bush " Don't get in front of me on my way out, I'll run you down" and then he can run off into the sunset, on Mars.

i am sorry for ruining lives of the iraq war,job losses, divisive politics,causing wiretapping, illegal searches, etc..but he should mainly apologize for katrina mishaps...he showed no class at all only ignornace as well egoism..when bush goes to bed, i hope that he asked GOD forgiveness because he caused nothing but mayheim for the last eight years..hit the george and don't come back no more!! go home, go home go home!!

As a Korean war veteran, I would like for him to say "I'M SORRY" to the fathers and mothers of those who gave their all for their country in the misadventure theIraq!!!

No. Hearing parts of his final press conference was emabarassment enough to the man. His speaking manner has not improved in eight years nor has his ability to look openly and realistically at his actions and reactions. Apparently he will forever ignore his lack of leadership and his failing to address the larger picture of any situation. And one more Bushism articulated is more than any of us deserve to bear.

He should say that he was wrong about Iraq, Gitmo, torture, naming Cheny Vice-President, and Brownie. Anything less means nothing.

"Time to do what I'm best qualified for, clear brush."

I would like to hear President Bush say "Uh, after, lets see, eight years in office, well almost, uh, I just hope, Ah haven't left the, uh, country hosed up beyond recovery. Hee, hee, hee...I guess that would be a HUBAR wouldn't it. Well, anyway, Am outa' here and ready to hand the reigns over to Buy-rack Obama. I wish him and y'all god speed."

That he was sorry for destroying this country and to tell the truth about what really went on with Iraq, Patriot Act, Bailing out the banks etc. But hey I am a dreamer.

Jack–
I want to hear that he's sorry for all the lives he wasted in Iraq, the help that he didn't give the gulf coast, the guts that he didn't have to stand up to Cheney and Rumsfeld, for the lies and half-truths that he's told. Most of all, I want to hear that he's going home to Texas, retiring from public life, and will never be heard from again.

Troy, Ohio

Jack, he should say I am sorry to all of America and because I
screwed up I will not take retirement money from the American
people.

P.S. My Vice -President made me do it!

Sorry for breaking 269 laws,but it was all Cheny and Rumsfeld,
you know the torture,wiretapping, and everything else. I don't even
know where those departments are located, so it can't be me,
you've got to listen to me please please!!!!!

Jack
So long and God Bless America, as we will need all the help we can get to straighten out the mess he is leaving us.

Hi Jack:

I don't want him to say anything. The man put his foot in his mouth enough. I'm just happy to see him go. Not do anything, not say anything. Just leave the maid and bell hop a tip, and go back to raising horses, and do what he does best. Clean up the COW PUCCY in Crawford, Texas.

Ron San Diego

Since his audience will be his supporters I hope he talks alot about Jesus. It seems the only reason people every voted for him was because he believed in Jesus more than the other guy. Look where that got us religious America-you owe us an apology too you know...

I would love for Bush to also pardon Ramos & Campeon!

I an a moral degenerate from a political elite family and my actions are not to be held up to the laws of the common citizen. I know i am corrupt and have organized and allowed the rape of all that we held dear for profit and greed. I can admit this knowing no one has the courage or intestinal fortitude to hold me and my past administration accountable. With this i say to the Saudis, dubai and all the other handlers- you know my bank acct. numbers and i am awaiting my pay back for all i have done. GOD bless the all mighty dollar and the greed i cherish! This is my – I Have a dream speech!

I have a going away gift for him. It is a picture of He and Cheney standing on the deck of an aircraft carrier on the water amid the debris of New Orleans. Above is the sign "Mission Accomplished" and below it people are being tortured. Behind are the raging flames of the Mideast wars (3) and in the background is a huge mountain (debt). On the mountain are thousands of crosses! This would be his legacy gift.

Jack:

I am truly tired of hearing his lame, inept speeches. He has already attempted to sell us his whitewashed version of the facts of the last eight years. He has promised that history will judge him accordingly. I only want a promise that he will not rear his head in a public forum again for the rest of his days.

At this point I don't care what he says, however, a complete sentenece, proper grammer, and some humility would be nice for a change.
Ralph- Corpus Christi, Texas

I would like to hear him say what a great job he did spending the Peoples money. Where else in the world can you run up a 6 trillion dollar debt and leave it to somebody else to pay.

"I am a murderer. I knew the intelligence did not support our claims of weapons of mass destruction, and still I chose to invade a sovereign nation and kill its people. I am a murderer of thousands and thousands and thousands."

I won't be watching. I can neither stand the sight of him nor the sound of his voice. He should be doing hard time along with his cohorts, not living off my tax dollars as pension and benefits.

I am very sorry for the constitutional restriction prohibiting me to run for a 3rd term. Actually I want to serve you for some more. I know you would have elected me again and again. Any way good bye, but remember to elect Jeff in 2012 or 2016.

He needs to apologize in this order:
1.To the families of the 4000 plus troops killed for no reason in Iraq.
2.To the American people for lying us into the Iraq War, squandering life and treasure and the fact no WMD’s wasn’t a disappointment but a known fact pre-war.
3.To the families of 911 victims and the rest of America for not putting every effort into getting Osama Bin Laden, still free after seven years.
4.To the Iraqi people for his incompetent follow-up after removing Saddam Hussein, for no reason, and killing thousands of Iraqis.
5.To the free world for condoning torture, Guantanamo Bay and hidden prisons worldwide.
6.To America for his incompetence in regulating the economy, putting his wealthy friends ahead of what was best for all Americans, squandering our financial future for decades and the meltdown we are in now, leaving it for Obama to clean up.
7.Finally, apologize for running for an office he was nowhere near competent or capable of handling in the first place.

Dear Jack,

I would like to hear FOUR words only. "I'm sorry for everything" would just about sum up the fiasco he ran for the past eight years!

"My friends, my ... friend? Well, you know who you are. I look forward to finally finishing my favorite book. Just where the heck did Spot run to? What's the point of running if you don't have a start, middle, and end? You know what I mean? (snicker) Anyway, I'll miss ... well, you know what I'll miss. As the kids say ... Dude. See ya!" (After 8 years, why should he make sense now?)

I would like to hear President Bush tell us that the war in Iraq was undertaken based on false information provided by an unreliable informant code named Curveball. He's the same informant that caused great embarrassment to Colin Powell who's comments at the U.N. were based on Curveball's unreliable and unverified information about the existence of WMD's. All that this war has brought to us could have been avoided if only Curveball's input had been verified as we might resonably expect that it should have been.

I'm sorry. Good bye.

Ed Reed
Port Aransas, TX

the sound of the door hitting him in the a$$ as he leaves

Not only GOODBYE - BUT that he will totally forgo any and all Gov't pensions, perks, etc., to help atone for the MASSIVE MESS he made of this country.... this entire world. Everyone has suffered except him.

He should've been impeached, and thrown in prison for criminality of it all.

Maybe, if Bush is as egotistical and consistent as he has been in the past he will say- if you think i am a war criminal , you should- "BRING IT ON"- , IF YOU THINK I WAS THE WORST pRESIDENT YOU HAVE EVER SEEN- just wait to we rig the election for JEB.

The sign should have said "Mission Impossible", not "Mission Accomplished".

Maybe, if Bush is as egotistical and consistent as he has been in the past he will say- if you think i am a war criminal , you should- "BRING IT ON"- , IF YOU THINK I WAS THE WORST pRESIDENT YOU HAVE EVER SEEN- just wait to we rig the election for JEB. Texas, the home of this corrupt moron.

"My fellow Americans, I am living proof that America is the land of opportunity (for the wealthy, of course), because where else could a half-witted, functionaly illiterate moron like myself, get enough power to send thousands of innocent people to their deaths to get revenge for my Daddy's failures. It's a great country, and I couldn't have picked a better one to ruin."

P.S. "Wait till you find out how much damage I've really done."

Jack: All I want to hear is the sound of footsteps as he boards Air Force One.

I'd like him to speak with a New England accent. You know, where he grew up when he went to prep school?

In 2000, some of the top liberal journalists in this country were not eager to endorse Al Gore for president. Some felf there wasnt much difference between myself, George W , and Al. Saturday Night Live made fun of his ideas for saving the trillion dollar surplus in a lock box. People watching liked Will Farrell playing me, and they thought I would be more fun to have as a president.

You've done the right thing this time, but you came very very close to getting Sarah Palin a heartbeat away from the oval office. If the economy had tanked 2 months later, in November instead of September, that is exactly what would be happening.

Goodbye and pay attention.

I'd like to hear him actually take responsibility for his own stupidity in his failed Presidency but I'm not going hold my breath.

I don't want to hear a thing. Just pack your bags and get the hell out of Dodge. Everything that has come out of his mouth has been lies.

Fooled you once, shame on me.
Fooled you twice, shame on you.

That guy is in another world, well maybe why he did not attempt to catch the "SHOE".

"My Fellow Americans, since I am now leaving office, I have a secret to tell you which I promised to keep silent until now, which is that Karl Rove is actually the father of John McCain's black baby."

Roland
St. George, UT

I wish he wasn't going to be on TV Thursday night at all and I won't be watching. I don't know if its his arrogance or stupidity that makes him think that people want to hear him say anything! There is nothing he can say that can make up for the mess he made of this country over the last eight years. He can keep lying to himself (and anyone else who will listen) about how quickly things happened after Hurricane Katrina, etc., but we, the American people, know the truth.

I would like to hear this Republican President and VP say "I'm going to give back to my country my full pay for the last eight years for a job not well done. And my retirement, health care and Social Security so I can feel your pain."

HE should warn America to remember the history of his administration so as not to repeat it.
"Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on...
WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN!"

It doesn't matter what we want him to say. It is obvious by his last press conference yesterday that he is clueless. The man just doesn't get it! His arrogance is about the only thing that outweighs his stupidity. Which way did he go George?

Just Adios and I never really knew what was going on my hole eight years. Smerk Smerk.

Jack
I really don't care what he says, he is still the President of the United States until January 20th and he deserves respect for the office he holds. He is a human being and for those that dislike him so much they do not have to listen to what he says and should not judge him until they have walked a mile in his shoes. I really think he did the best that he was capable of doing during his presidency. Lets stop beating this dead horse as there is nothing to be gained from it. Lets focus our energy on the new mustang thats coming to town, Barack Obama

Judie
St. Augustine, Fl

I would like to hear him give the new president this tid-bit of advice: "Make sure you get your facts straight before you runoff and make stupid decision like I did, and whatever you do, do not let your V.P. pull your strings like a marionette. "

Why did we actually get involved in The War when no WMD were ever produced?

I don't want to hear ANYTHING more from this President. As far as I'm concerned, he's done.

The words I'd most like to hear from bush: (nothing)

The words I'd most like bush to hear:
"You are under arrest, sir, for crimes against humanity."

I would like to hear him say " since I and my administration have failed the American people to such a high degree. Myself and all those clsely responsible are going to fall on our swords."

Bob

NOTHING

HIT THE ROAD GEORGE,AND DON'T YOU COME BACK NO MORE... NO MORE. HIT THE ROAD GEORGE, DON'T COME BACK NO MORE...NO MORE

I want Aston Kutcher to come out and tell us that we've all be Punked!

that he had to cancel for lack of interest.

Jack, he could go out on a good note if he was forthright and said that during the course of his presidency, he did it his way, much like the lyrics that Frank Sinatra once sang. This statement alone would explain his whole philosophy applied to both domestic and foreign policy and also why he and his administration failed to listen to sage advice when it needed to be heeded. After explaining his gut-instinct method of governing, he can wave and say Mission Accomplished as he saddles up and heads for Crawford, Texas.

If this man had half a brain or a fragment of a concience, he would apologize to the families of the 100,000 dead Iraqis whose blood is on his hands instead of twisting the truth into a web of lies and distortions to create for himself a fictional legacy.

Jack, I thing we have all misunderestimated him. He is to be commended for having a mind of his own AND a language of his own. Do they teach english in Texas?

Forget the farewell speech... I know less after his speeches that I did before.

How about the truth about Area 51?

The only thing I want to hear from President Bush on Thursday night is that he is confident that Obama will be able fix some of what has been broken in the past eight years.
GWB’s greatest claim to fame can be summed up as: “he is the BEST example of the WORST leadership” this country has had in a very long time.

Three simple words Jack: I was wrong.

"So long and thanks for all the fish"

good-bye, so long, farewell...I won't let the door kick me in the a...er gluteous maximus!

Bush should apologize for trampling on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights when he allowed illegal wire-tapping and spying on his own people.

I would like to hear the television announcer say, "We're sorry, but the President has decided to spare the nation and will not be giving his speech tonight."

All I want to hear is when he and his attack vice-president will stand trial for war crimes!

In a perfect world, Bush would come out and say somthing like this.

"The last eight years didn't work out so great. I've made mistakes, but there are things that are outside the control of one man. I tried my best, and hope that every American joins together in welcoming President Obama. Thank you, and God bless America."

If only Jack, if only...

I want to hear him say goodbye and stop misunderestimating the people of America. They forgive him for his errors and let bygones be bygones.

Jack,

The best thing he could say is good bye and you will find out the truth about the past 8 years in due time. It may be the only truth during his tenure.

Dean

There is not much he can say. His lack of leadership and incompetence created the highest defecit, highest unemployment, foreclosures, bankruptcy's, etc etc. This president has been an embarrasement to the United States and the World.

He just needs to disappear to his million dollar home in Texas.

I would like for him to say "I misundere..eeestimated".One last laugh wouldnt hurt.

Good bye and good luck!

A guilty plea.

Nothing – because he cannot tell the truth or even recognize it.

It doesn't matter what we want to hear.He will just attempt one last time to salvage his "legacy" as he did yesterday at his press conference. It won't work,of course,but he is not smart enough to realize that history will not be kind to him-not even in 50 years-as he hopes.

I would like to hear Bush say "Please, no shoe throwing contest".

We cannot expect Bush to take an honest look at his administration, after all, he was not a fact checker, he was the decider based on instincts and false info. (and maybe on what God thought he should do). I do not think he was aware of how negatively he affected our nation.

Jack: As little as possible!!!

What do I want to hear in Bushs farewell speech? Absolute silence. Why bother. No speech, just go – and good riddance.

"Sorry I messed up so bad. Goodbye."

"I tried to clean up the dangers and financially irresponsible policies created and left by Carter and Clinton, but there just wasn't enough time".

Gore really won, the Supreme Coourt gave me the presidency.
I was on vacation, so didn't pay attention to the 911 warnings.
I lied about the WMD's, for oil and so cheney could give KBR/Halliburton big contracts, and I could avenge my daddy, oh yeah the connection 911 to Iraq, no stratgic plan for more $$ & oil, lie, lie.
Katrina/Brownie, oops.
Never listened to opposing views, only listened to cheney in my ear.
Tax cuts for the rich, made for big contributions to the GOP.
Wiretaps, rendition, torture, yes I did.
incompetence, divide and conquer, largest deficit from surplus, dergulate and allow economic failure, yes I did.

"Dear Americans, I am sorry, this is not the right job for me. I know I screw up and now the country is in a mess. You know, when you all elected me twice, I thought I AM THE MAN for this job. Now I know, we all made a mistake. Now I will go back to my ranch and do what is best for me; being a real cowboy. I think that would work for me well. So thank you very much for electing me twice. I hope President Obama will clear the mess I made so I wish him good luck."

Nuwan from Houston, TX

Thursday evening will be one without TV at our house. I'll not subject myself or my family to any more of his delusions or lies. If we never see his face again or hear his voice it'll be too soon. It would be great if there was a network out there that would choose not to broadcast the bum's speech. I'd tune them in right away.

Rich Green
San Clemente, Cal.

Jack, what I want to hear from President Bush is that it was all a bad dream and that when we wake up, it is the year 2000 and the Supreme Court decided that Al Gore won the Florida vote. Seriously, I just want to hear him say “Good Bye”. The past eight years have spoken volumes and he does not need to say anymore.

To admit that mission accomplished was not accomplished and that his mission as The President Of The greatest Country on earth has also miserably failed

Bush seems totally unaware of the fact that he has done great harm to this nation, has ruined our reputation around the world as a good and decent people and is, without a doubt, the worst president of modern times. I would like to hear him say -- you will never see or hear from me again. Then I will be satisfied. God Bless Obama.

Just once, I'd like to have heard this fool pronounce the word "nuclear" correctly.

I will NOT watch or do I ever, ever want to see that man's face on TV again!!!! And I was a republican for 40 years. Not only did he destroy my country, he also destroyed the republican party for the rest of my life time!!!

It doesn't matter. I won't be listening. I would hear the name Bush no more.

Ruth Indianapolis, Indiana

I want to hear one thing, and one thing only: An apology.

There can be nothing fair or well about it. If I never hear of him or see his face again it will be too soon.

I don't know about most people in the U.S. but what the outside world would like to hear George state the most is that he will be turning himself over to the Hague to be tried for war crimes and the violation of the Geneva Convention.

Of course that isn't likely to happen unless someone explains to him what goes on at the Hague and what the Geneva Convention is about.

Bush should say:

"I lied about everything concerning the Iraq war to promote the Bush family's and my cronie's interests with very rich contracts related to the war. Heck, I knew there were no WMD. Dick Cheney and I look forward to a very wealthy retirement built on the blood of our dead soldiers and Iraqi citizens – I would like to thank the gullible who voted for me by believing in my "born again Christian" act. I would also like to thank the wealthy right wing establishment for allowing me to promote their cause instead of the cause of the poor and middle class".

I'm sorry for messing the country up for the past eight years. I also would like to apologized to everyone I hurt along the way. I'm really sorry and I am going to a place where you won't see me again, Farewell

Good-Bye!!!!!!!

You folks MISUNDERESTIMATED ME & my ability to SCREW UP the Entire Country!

Oh my where to start, That he's a liar, thief, traitor and that he is now ready to return all that he and his administration has stolen from us. he could also throw in that he expects to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Let him get what he deserves and he should never been allowed air time , did you see him yesterday Jack? Junk!!!

Goodbye and may God have mercy on my soul.

. . . Rip off his shirt and strike out into the disco version of "I WILL
SURVIVE".

I'm sorry for delaying medical cures by limiting stem cell research.
I'm sorry for starting a war based on faulty government intelligence.
I'm sorry for high energy prices because I failed to formulate a national energy policy.
I'm sorry for destroying the economy due to lacks government oversight.
I'm sorry for destroying families due to lack of affordable medical care and insurance.
I'm sorry for tax cuts that benefited the top 1% of Americans vs the middle class.
I'm sorry for bailing out banks and brokerage companies instead of addressing the cause of the financial meltdown, sub prime mortgages.
I'm sorry for the Patriot Act which limits Americans freedoms.
In fact, I'm just a sorry individual who never should have been elected President.
Ed from Branchville, NJ

Abolutely nothing this person could say could change myopinion of him that he is the worst most pathetic excuse of a president for the past 8 years. It would nice to see him admit to his incompetency but I wouldn't hold my breath as this person is incapable of admitting to any errors. Besides he seems to have difficulty stringing words together.

What do I want to hear...the sound of the door of the White House hitting him on the butt on his way out.

I remember when President Bush was pushing bankruptcy reform and as he stood smirking he told us it was necessary because he thought people 'should be responsible'. After all that has happened with the financial sector and unemployment, and all the people who lose everything including their dignity because of these 'reforms', I would like to hear him say that he is sorry that so many peoples american dream has turned into a nightmare. But he won't. It was obvious to me when he addressed his base of 'the have and have-mores' that he held most of us in contempt. I don't know why most people didn't get that.

There's only one thing I want to hear from George Bush, but I want him to sing it.

"Take this job and shove it!!"

Conor from Chiago & Mary from Houston, I guess I don't have to say anything, after reading some of these comments on this blog...All I can say is , WoW !! ( I agree w/ most of you)

I don't want to waste my time listen to his farewell speech .. I have more valuable chore to do such as collecting the trashes and put outside for trash collector to take them.

How about telling us the truth, "I'm sorry, I just wasn't up to running the Country so I let Dick Cheney do it. Sorry."

Adios and let's hope he doesn't continue to do useless
interviews like Mindless Palin!!!

i would like to hear him admit that his administration has been a failure and take responsibility for the economic mess we're in.he could also sing "bye bye,it's been good to know you"but thats not true for most u.s. citizens,he's been a disaster

Hi Jack:

I don’t want him to say anything. The man put his foot in his mouth enough. I’m just happy to see him go. Not do anything, not say anything. Just leave the maid and bell hop a tip, and go back to raising horses, and do what he does best. Clean up the COW PUCCY in Crawford, Texas.

Ron San Diego

I want to hear that the last eight years has all been an illusion. Like that episode of Dallas when Bobby's wife Pam comes back to the show and the previous year was just a bad dream of Bobby's. I want to wake up tomorrow and Al Gore has been president for the last eight years and global warming is over, green energy is a reality, the economy is going well, nobody has been bailed out and my husband still has hair on his head. Realty sucks, Jack!

It doesn't matter what he says! The fact that his term is over brings overwhelming relief, and hope for a better future! Thank God, he only has one more week to mess things up!

Dear Jack: There is absolutely nothing I want to hear from George Bush. For eight years I have been ashamed of my country. Now a much awaited event will take place on January 20th and an honorable man,Barack Obama will be our new President. There is a God!

I want to hear that he will be going into isolation and we will never have to hear from him or see him ever again.

"Thanks, folks. I know the economy don't look too great right now, but our oil and energy companies have done pretty well. And don't complain about Eye-rack. We toppled Suddam, who we didn't really like, and made a nice profit to boot. Well, not us like you and me, but some people made a nice profit. And Bobby Jindahl, you owe me one. When we kept FEMA out of New Orleans for a few days, we made the last Governor look like an idiot. All in all, it's been a pretty good run. I wish we coulda told the truth about stuff, but that wouldn't have worked out. Anyhow, Dick and Karl think we did OK, and that's good enough for me. So thanks a lot. ".

If I were him, I'd walk up to the podium and recite a dramatic poem completely unrelated to everything and then walk away just to see how badly I could dumbfound everybody. I'd suggest 'The Charge of the Light Brigade'. Let's face it, he's not going to say anything anyone wants to here anyways, so he might as well put on a show so completely out of left field that people have something other than his record to remember him by.

A tearful confession would be nice.

Ray Kinserlow
Lubbock, Texas

. . . Farewell.

Nothing.

What I want to hear from this man is as little as possible. It would be nice to hear a sincere apology in his own words, but only to verify that he is capable of writing and reading a coherent sentence - and feeling some measure of responisibility for this unmitigated mess we are in.

What I expect to hear is a craftily worded spin on all the "accomplishments" of his presidence, coupled with the hope for a better tomorrow. Only problem with this is the fact that he and his administration have made a better tomorrow almost impossible for the majority of us.

I want to hear that he is donating his families net worth to the bail out.

All I want him to do is say goodbye and then get off the air. Just 4 words and no more. Just:

My fellow Americans. Goodbye.

I would like to hear him say he's sorry, to the next generation of Americans, for the economy he's leaving them and for what he has done to our reputation as a nation.

Allen
Mountain Home ID

I am sorry I just didn't know.

L.M.,Arizona

I'd like to hear him apologize to the American people and the world for all of his illegal policies during the last 8 years. I'd also like to win the Mega Millions lottery tonight. I have a better chance of winning that than of hearing what I want to hear from George Bush.
Brownwood, Texas

All I want to hear is the slamming of the door behind him.

Well, I have to work Thursday night, so I won't see Bush's farewell speech & I wouldn't want to anyway. He's turned our once great nation into an increasingly impoverished, third world, rogue nation. If I had a dollar bill for every one of his screw-ups, I would have enough money to jump start the economy myself.

I don't care to hear an apology, because for it to be sincere, there must be remorse. I do not believe W is intelligent enough to feel remorse. I do not want to hear about the good things he's done (like Laura discussed at the convention) because even the good things he did have caused more damage than they are worth. I do not want to hear about his love for this country, or how he cares about veterans, or that he has high hopes for the future, that would insulting to those of us who know better.
What I would most like to hear is that the speech is cancelled and in its place they will show an extra episode of "The Office."

Hail Hannity and Rush for their unrepenting support to Bush and Bush's policy nationally and internationally.

Use the words strategery, bring it on and mission accomplished atleast 10 times.

Scorn European countries for their Kyoto support and criticise Nobel Prize Foundation for awarding nobel prize to Al Gore.

I would like to hear the advice that he will offer the Obama administration as to how best to continue to keep the country safe from forgein attacks. Bush has an excellent record of doing so after 9/11 and the Obama team would be well served by listening to what Bush has to say.

I'd prefer it if he just slink on back to Texas and spare us having to hear him spew out any more of those oh-so-cute "Bushisms". The man not only has no brains, he has no shame and no conscience.

I want to hear a percussive symphony of ten thousand shoes being thrown at a man who has caused needless war, while decimating a once-healthy economy and tearing away at our reputation as a world power. The heck with stoning. Let's have a shoe-ing.

The tv will be OFF... The contempt that I have for this piece of work and his cronies is unprintable. One of my bigest regrets in life is that I voted for him.....

I know this is beyond my wildest dreams. but I would like for the President to apologize to the Nation for his deception in starting the un-needed Iraq War, the ineptness in the bungling the recovery efforts after Katrina, his blindness as he watched the Nation's economy, and crumble around him, and all of the time telling us everything was fine, and last but not least tell me how he can stand upon a speakers platform and tell me that he did it for the good of the country, and make me believe it. Not even in my dreams....

How about an admission that the Conservative Agenda, and the policies the GOP embrace with respect to Foreign Policy, The Environment, Domestic Policy, The Economy, Healthcare and a host of other issues of the day is a policy of failure.

There will be no pardons for anyone who served in my Administration. It is time that we all came clean and told you all the truth finally to save our souls. I believe in acountablity. Now, I accept the consequences of my illegal and fraudulent acts that have been counter to the very core of the nation's values. I hope that President Obama can restore what we have destroyed. My prayers are with him and his Administration. For us, you will be hearing from us in a Court of Law. (Bush, you can quote this if you need to.)

I don't expect it but I would like for once to hear George Bush admit he was wrong on many issues, particularly Iraq. He always blames others for the administration's mistakes and never takes personal responsibility. The Supreme Court made a terrible mistake in "giving him" the Presidency in the first place. Al Gore won the election of 2000, and I think a lot of the bad things in America would not have happened if Gore had been President for the last eight years. It will take us years to recover from the Bush/Cheney debacle.

Can't wait to see Barack Obama inaugurated for a new day of openness in America and a new concern for average people!

His speech would probably be over before I got through listing all the things I would like the jerk to say like he was wrong, say a million times and that him and his band of thieves have all but destroyed the United States

After seeing Bush's final press conference I realize he is more pathetic than I had guessed. How did America ever elect him as president?

I would likle to hear Bush say that he is guilty of crimes against the people of America and against humanity. I'd like to seem him turn himself over to The Hague for full disclosure of all the crimes he committed in office. I'd like to see him convicted of war crimes. After all, he is responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans and hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. I'd like to see some justice dealt out during his speech. The evil he has brought upon the world needs to be addressed..

Jack, I think it would be perfect if he were to appear all lathered up in a shower ,with that silly grin on his face and say "Good Morning" just like Bobby Ewing and then the theme music from "Dallas" comes up and we find out it's all been a dream!

I think we all know exactly what he will and what he will not say. This is the president who noted, "See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." The man has learned nothing over the past eight years...but I have. I won't be watching.

Apologize to the country for allowing Dick Cheney to really be the President.

Good evening, my fellow Americans. I am an idiot. My administration is a complete joke. I sent the economy down the drain. All I can do is ask for your forgiveness for all the heartache I caused you and my family.

I've heard enough of his spin for the last eight years. Just say goodbye.

Since the emperor will not recognize his missteps, errors, or breaking of laws, i.e. wiretapping, waterboarding, etc. Don't bother with further lies and misrepresentations, just go away...forever! Never to be heard from again in any fashion.

BYE, BYE!

Good evening my fellow Americans,

My political party has always cherished the ideas of smaller government , the deregulation of the free market, and trickle down economics. As president, I have given tax breaks to the investing class and corporations, and hired cronies in the S.E.C so that corporations could operate with little oversight. Well it is clear that my party's policies and philosophy is what caused the current economic crisis. Therefore as soon as I leave office as your president , all my income from my new book deal and speeches will go directly to the federal deficit. This will allow me to do what I can to undo some of my damage and keep people interested in what I have to say.

I'm sorry. I apologize. You guys out there that voted for me should accept some responsibility and apologize too.

We will never hear him admit guilt or say he`s sorry for anything. People like him just won`t do it . He has a personality disorder that will not alow him to feel any guilt or wrong doing. We know all to well that he is just going to ramble on patting his self on the back and look and sound like a clueless baffoon. With that being said, all he could possibly say that would interest me is," what am i being charged with" after he is shackeld like a common criminal.

I want to hear that the speech has been canceled. If he does show his smirking face again, I will simply change the channel.

It would be nice if he fessed up to all the misery and strife he has caused, but I would settle on a quick "BYE".

I dont care what he has to say. I wont be watching. I am however glad that the worst presidency in this countries history is finally at its end.

Can you believe this man ! Saying he knows a few people do not like him , how about a lot of people do not like him. This man is always
oblivious to reality and lives in a dream world . His exit should be a swift goodbye and head back Crowford Texas and never to be heard from again .

Hi Jack –

Two words i would like to hear...

Strategery, misunderstimate!

A tearful apology for running for a second term while Clearly knowing he knew nothing!

Dick Cheney and I have volunteered to be waterboarded to show that it's not torture and I'm sorry I was ever born and hope to go to prison for the rest of my life for everything I've done to this country and the world.

Goodbye would be really pleasent, and maybe a thank you for
the oppurtunity to show how much I understand just how the world works.
BUT he will just probubly blame it all on Bill clinton, he is a
republican after all.

Old presidents never die, they just fade away. Unfortunately it will not be to oblivion since the wreckage left behind will be a stinging memory of days gone by. How about the courageous troops that will not hear his final message or any other one as they lay silent in their graves. What really can be said?

HA HA You know I really did'nt win the 2000 elections!!!

I would like him to say that he was wrong to go into Iraq. That he was duped by Rumsfeld, Cheney and Wolfowitz. That he has put our troops in harms way without due cause.

Nothing; nothing at all; the man should not even waste air time for such nonsence. He knows down deep in his heart and soul what he has caused in the past seven years and 11 months. It is not worth discussing any more. Let us the people in this country move on and do everything we can do to help the incoming President and Vice President. And by the way Jack; God only knows what will be in the future for our country and our economy. And right now he just is not speaking to us.

NOTHING!!!

The door slam on his way out of Washington.

Actually, I would just like to hear him sing a honky tonk karaoke version of Britney Spears' "Oops, I did it again".

I knew he was to stupid to realize that he had been wrong and screw up the economy and started a unnecessary war. ;The only thing I can say is thank God and U Haul he going back to Texas where he can screw up and not hurt so many people.

I want President Bush to say "Mission Accomplished" and promptly load up his "duty bag" and return to Texas. What he will be remembered for is bad times economically, bad decisions to go to war, and bad grammar. I am glad he will no longer be the "decider. Fool us once shame on him, fool us twice – oh yeah, he did that too. Two terms of for this man was a hoot! What were we thinking?

That he promises to never open his mouth again and allow himself to be frozen in a block of ice. What we are going to get is a sorry-assed, excuse-filled, blame the other guy, gib, I'm a hero in the history books discourse from a borderline personality who trashed the Constitution, his oath of office, practiced crackpot economics to all our ruin, and lied, lied, lied to include telling a group of high school kids who love their country that his administration did not engage in torture, which he admitted yesterday he authorized. He has spent his whole life doing it his way and leaving a trail of sorry excuses. His reward should be a prison cell. He even lies to kids. What kind of person does that? Ralph, Yakima, Wa.

I want to hear a full confession of his and his administrations war crimes, and acts of treason. The oath of office and the oath I took upon entering military service calls for. "To defend the constitution from terrorist both foreign and domestic" Then we can get on with trials for war crimes and treason, and finally be over this deepest darkest chapter of AMERICAN history.

No one cares. We are not watching as are many others.

I would like President Bush to let the viewing audience know what shows are broadcasting on other channels so we can quickly switch to something else.

Steve

I was only the president, i really didn't control anything. I only gave the appearance of control. In actuality i was just a cheerleader someone for people to either alienate or rally behind when those behind the political curtain did something. I did everything i could to appeal to the regular masses. I faked a texas accent to give off a down home charm, i used a lot of ideological rhetoric like freedom, god, patriotism to fool you guys into supporting my elitist agenda. In addition i used a great deal of fear and victim rhetoric so you wouldn't complain too much about how much debt my administration was creating.

Boxers or briefs?

"Y'all think I was a bad president? . . .In time, history will judge me as the WORST president ever".

I'm sorry I stole a job I wasn't qualified for to begin with. I'm sorry I lied. I'm sorry I'm more concerned about my legacy than I am about the heartache I've caused all across this nation. Fat chance!

The thrashing that President Bush has taken from the media, blogs, Hollywood types and others is beyond my imagination. Did he make mistakes? Yes! Did previous presidents make mistakes? Yes! Will President-elect Obama make mistakes? Yes! Was the financial markets President Bush's fault? No! Did the president keep us safe for 7 years? Yes! Is it possible for a president to micro-manage every agency? No! I see a man finally getting the opportunity to defend himself with no fear of political or media backlash.

Nothing Jack..i heard enough yesterday. Enough said

Jack, I would like to hear a sincere apology for sending the worlds greatest country into the toliet and wasted lives in Iraq for greed and oil.

An apology for his gross incompetence and mismanagement over the last eight years.

I expect to hear the more of what he said at the news conference the other day. Essentially, it'll probably end up being the same regretful, face-saving, Nixonesque political sob story that he's put out ever since the election. In other words, Bush politics as usual.

I would like the current President to apologize to the American People on the failed policies for the last eight years and to promise that he will never seek the spotlight in any shape, form or fashion.

A certain lady in Oklahoma is experiencing "Boiling Anger" over President Bush's policies and legacy, because of the Iraq war and the poor state of the economy, but maybe she should direct some of that "boiling anger" at members of Congress and the Senate, first because without their "yes" votes President Bush would not have received authorization to attack Iraq in the first place, and second if members of the House and Senate would not have appropriated the money for the President for the war, it never would have been started in the first place! This lady is a Democrat, and a several of them voted "FOR" the war, and several voted to "GIVE" the President money to pay for the war, so there is enough blame to go around! I wish the President the best in retirement! Walk in his shoe's one day and then maybe you won't be so critical in the future!
Ed
Woodbridge,Va.

NOTHING. I just want him to get out and get out fast. I'd love to go down to DC on January 20th and just keep screaming at him, GET OUT! GET OUT!GET OUT!GET OUT!GET OUT!GET OUT!GET OUT!GET OUT!... like a maniac until his plane takes off. I can't believe he stoop up at that press conference the other day and once again proved what an idiot and how inarticulate he really is. GET OUT!!

Whatever he wants to. I want him to go out with a bang... he should throw a few random profanities in his speech, maybe some shout-outs, anything that needs censoring, just to make it hard on the media. You know, take some revenge for all the crap the media has given him.

I want him to say something that he has never said: "I'm sorry, and I apologize." And then I want him to go far, far away and never come back!

Jack, what do you want to hear Bush say? That he was the worst president since Jimmy Carter? That he added 8 trillion dollars of debt to the U.S. economy in 8 yrs? That he got us into an unnessesary war in Iraq there by letting Bin Lauden off the hook in Afgahnistan? That under his watch Wall Street got too drunk and too greedy? That because of his lack of a domestic economic policy people are not just losing their homes in record numbers, but unemployment is the highest it's been in decades? I will give Bush this much credit, there has not been another attack on the U.S. since 911. But don't forget, Bush did have to duck from being hit in the head with a shoe.

I'd like to hear Bush let out a giant fart, a fitting symbol of his kingship....I mean presidency!

Silence.Just Bush Silence

I don't want to hear anything from him, i just want him to GO.

Jack there is only one thing I would Like To hear From Bush . An apology and his testimony in front of a jury of his peres .
And that's not going to happen

Not a single word-no speech what so ever. He has no credibility
and there is nothing anyone in this country wants to hear him
talk about. Most people in this country feel he cannot leave
office fast enough.

To Al Bledsoe of Dallas,

You may indeed run into "w" in Dallas, but certainly not in Walmart. That's where real people shop who have real middle class or lower level incomes. Not the likes of "W' who corruptly feathered the nests of his rich cronies over the past 8 years (funded by debts ourchildren, grandchildren, great grandchildren etc. will be paying, if our nation survives that long) so they may add additional mega-feathers to his nest starting Jan 21. Note how many paid speeches he gives and who pays for them. Would you pay to hear him speak?

Good Bye!

I'd like to here W say, "wow, I really had no business being here. My bad."

Jack,

I don't want to hear anymore of that yesterday's spiel that was sometimes blustery, often whiny & defensive, mostly a vain attempt to portray himself in a favorable light.
The only thing I would like to hear is that he & Cheney plan to take a trip The Hague, to turn themselves in for the crimes against humanity they committed by falsifying intelligence leading to the deaths of thousands of innocent men, women & children in Iraq, as well as over 4,000 of our brave soldiers. Add the crime of failure of leadership and we should not see or hear from George W. Bush for a long, long time.

my momma raised the biggest liar in the history of the world.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa

who cares WHAT he says because it will just be the whine of a spoiled child like his last "news conference'

too bad the networks and cable news organisations will have to preempt for this farce. it should only be shown on Fox News. their right wing viewers will be the only ones who give a damn what he has to say.

Is George Bush still president? I thought he left weeks ago.

hi jack
i would just like to hear good bye or just wave he dosent have to say anything.
clearwater,fl

President Bush should but will not apologize to the families of the 4,000 troops killed iand 20,000 plus troops wounded in a senseless pre-emptive war in IRAQ , and he should also apologize to the thousands of innocent IRAQI'S killed in this same war. As an American we should all be ashamed of what he caused and World history will show that he was no better than Sadaam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden. He has a chance to heal the world. He will probably mock it!

I would like to hear him say that we must pull together as Americans and help the next President solve some of these urgent critical matters in our Nations history and that we may need to consider alternatives that we have never considered before and that rather than fight the next President over small details be principaled but big picture and help keep America strong. Good Night God Bless America!!!

I would like to to hear Bush say, Before I start my speech.I would like to make one thing perfectly clear. I am not a real Texan, I was born in Conneticut ,and moved to Texas by my parents. A true Texan would never under any circumstances treat the american people the way I have.
Believe me on this one...........Never.

My dear friends, Ah had good reason to lie, start wars and preside over the economic melt down because ma bosses told me to do so... and I don't just mean Dick Cheney. Now rather than go inta a lotta details Ah'd encourage you ta watch the movie, "WAR Inc." Thad'll tell ya all ya needa know. So goodnat and God Bless the North American Union.

I would like to see him talk without sneering. He could tell us about all the innocent lives lost in iraq, the bad economy, taking care of the wealthy friends, torture and his spying. He could try to say misunderestimated the right way, and most of all please impeach me.
You know, his favorite words were, you are either for or against me.

Goodbye and this time it's for real?

He's already said it all, through his actions, and quite frankly, I've had enough of Mr Malaprop, thank you very much!!!

He has already said it all...he should exit the stage without trying to command the limelight one last time and move on to his next failure.
Me thinks he doth protest a bit too much

Bush: "So long suckers, my buddies got the money."

After the news conference on Monday, ABSOLUTELY nothing!

Nothing.

In case you haven't noticed, he can't speak, and there is nothing for him to say anyway.

He accomplished nothing in eight years, and screwed everything up so bad it can never be fixed.

He ought to be in jail.

This will never happen; but, here's what I'd like to hear: "Man, I'm glad to be outta here. This job stopped being fun when the Congress and the media stopped buyin' all my boloney and started asking questions. All the money we funneled to the rich? Part of the plan. The rich get richer, get over it. And that Kanye West fellow? He was part right. I don't care about black people. I pretty much don't care about any people who aren't giving me somethin' or kissin' my butt. I regret that I couldn't wreck Social Security. I had it on my to do list. I'm proud to have dug a hole for this country so deep even a miracle worker like Obama couldn't get the country back on the right track if you gave him four terms, like FDR. Heh, heh, heh. Now THAT'S an accomplishment. Happy Trails, suckers!"
cy gardner arlington va

"I hereby declare myself President for Life."

He should fall on his sword and offer a true apology to Katrina victims! Better yet, he should exile himself there and open his library there since we don't want to see him in Texas!

Me and my friends are rich now!!
Sorry 'bout the other stuff...snicker-snicker.

It was all Dick's fault

Im sorry for being the worst president in the history of our great nation...I was only taking after my father.

Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, I hope the guy after me can clean the messes up that My staff and I created.

How about a simple, heartfelt SORRY for the mess my cronies and
I created....we're a bunch of self-serving idiots who should be
prevented from making regular withdrawals from the world's
diminishing oxygen bank!

Unless he acknowledges his errors and apologizes to us and to the greater world, which he won't, I'm not interested in hearing. He'll probably get up there and hedge about what went wrong without admitting responsibility and spout platitudes about America and its citizens. Frankly, I'd rather shove knitting needles in my ears than have to listen to him anymore.

My bad.

Very simple – I'm Sorry......

This man has destroyed lives, America's reputation abroad, dismantled the middle class, allowed Gordon Gecko-esque greed and corruption to overwhelm Washington and wall Street and crippled our economy. His legacy is one of abject failure and I hope to never see or hear from him again, after he apologizes (which we all know he will never do)

Dudes, I totally screwed up...sorry.

I just want him to apologize for both his errors as well as those made by by his administration. But sadly that just won't happen.

I hope he wishes us all peeance freeance, whatever that is supposed to mean.

See Daddy. I got that bad Saddam for ya. I told ya I'd git him Daddy .

Nothing. Just get out of here!

I want to hear him say the weapons of mass destruction were finally found.

"I have acted in good faith to protect our nation"

Huntsville, Al

as little as possible, or forgive me America and World Over

Honestly, there's nothing left to say. There are times to just be quiet and try to leave a situation with whatever dignity you have left. Just hand the keys over and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

How bout, " I'm often wrong but never in doubt"

I don't care what he says when he goes ... as long as he goes.

"sorry for everything, America!"

Mission Accomplished

Admit to your short comings. Watching last night at your press conference was an embarrasment to our country. At least have the dignity to admit your failures on, WMD, Katrina and Economic failures that you supposedly were not aware of. Give us a break Bush, you're a TOOL.

The only thing I want to hear is that you'll be punished and prosecuted for your failure for the pas 8 years. How DO YOU SLEEP at NIGHT????

Oops. My Bad.

How about, "I'm sorry!"

"I made a number of mistakes and I apologize for harming this country and for hurting many of its good citizens."

Anything else will be a whitewash of a miserable failure of an administration.

The best thing for George Bush to say....as the steward closes the door on the plane...."Make sure that thing locks tight!"

I would like him to follow his father's foot steps in this one as well!

New-Clee-Ar.

He should say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for ignoring the Constitution. I'ms orry for starting a war we can't win. I'm sorry for failing the people of New Orleans. I'm sorry for failing the people of America. I'm sorry for breeching their trust and abusing my power. I'm sorry that I've let my religious views negatively impact scientific research. (and finally) I'm sorry for leaving this country in worse condition than it was in when I inherited it.

My failed policies prevented this country from the greatest disaster that could have hit our homeland......Sarah Palin being a heartbeat away from the oval office.

To the Nation:
My heart breaks for the families who have lost loved ones in Iraq and Afganistan and I am sorry and I will live with regret the rest of my life.

I'd like to see him shrug his shoulders like a chimp and say "whoopsie, America!" Then, he could crush a fifth of Jack Daniels, give the camera his classic smirk and then dance offstage like the old man in the Six Flags commercials.

I'm sorry that I messed things up. I started off thinking I could do a good job. I'm sorry that I started a stupid, and expensive war. I'm also sorry that my policies really made a mess out out of the economy.

Good bye!

Borrow the closing screen from Warner Bros cartoons that says "That's all folks!" and then Porky Pig's "The b'the b'the That's all folks!"

Thank you America! It was fun being President!

At this point, it doesn't matter. He's leaving a nation that is much worse off than 8 years ago.

Mr. Bush had the opportunity to start making amends. Just like his entire administration, he still doesn't want to take serious responsibility for anything that's happened on his watch.

A quick disgraceful exit is all we need from him. No more words.

America, We have survive some exceedingly hard times, we must continue with resolve to learn from our mistakes. Mistakes like the mishandling of disasters on our own soil, rampant greed and disregard of our economy, and others. We must focus on the problems at hand, find resolutionism to restore our Great Country. I have been proud to be your President, proud to have been an American, and proud to have served the American Richies, I mean people.....

"Just wait, you're gonna miss me."

George W. Bush: My presidency was a miserable failure from start to finish; I should NEVER have been president. My entire record of the last eight years was abysmal, one lie or con after another. There is really nothing I can say or do to make amends...except to hope that the American people will all forget that I ever existed.

How 'bout... "So long, and thanks for all the laughs?"

Sorry about my stupidity but it is not all my fault. You elected me twice.

...it's not a burden if you don't care about the results

"abea-abea-abea...that's all, folks!"

Jack, I only want to hear five little words-I am sorry and goodbye!

"I am sorry" would be a good start.

Just a plain old from the heart apology for bringing our country to its knees. Creating hatred for Americans around the globe and admit he's been over his head since day one.

I'm sure after I hear this I will be able to buy a penthouse in New York City for $100K

Just turn and go – don't say anything. But if he must say something,
say "I'm sorry" and leave – go, go and don't turn back.

I just want to hear him admit to the absolute failings of his terms (still blows me away that he was reelected in '04). Admit to the impeachable offenses he and Cheney comitted while in office. Then I would just like him to say "I'm sorry" and stand up and walk away forever.

Don't say anything, just don't let the door hit you on the backside as you leave.

He should just go. Goodbye. Good riddance!!

I hope one of those “courageous Americans.” hits him with a shoe.

I am going back to the only thing I could ever do right. DRINKING!!!

1) I'm sorry.
2) I'm very sorry.
3) I'm so sorry I can't verbalize it.
4) Please, Jesus, don't hold any of this against me.
5) I'm against abortion, abortion of all kinds. Aborted fetuses, aborted war plans, aborted presidencies...
6) Don't blame me–Cheney did all this!
7) Did I hook Obama up or what?

and last but not least:
Red-state suckas!!!!!!!

But what I guess he'll say is: You're a fool if you think the last eight years were bad in the least degree. He's never surprised on empty egotism.

I'd like to hear a big WHOA! as a shoe comes flying across to room in his general direction.

I don't want to hear him say anything..if we could just get a live shot of him loading up his U-Haul, getting in and driving away that would say IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will not further disgrace the American people by interfering or participating in any type of political role where I'm am remotely close to representing the voice or face of the american people.

He should apologize, but I am most certain that he will not.

"I am really sorry. I won't do it again....".

Whoa!
I'm just coming down from an 8 year bender. I guess I was drunk!

BTW...
That's his answer for everything.

I think it would be great if he encouraged America to take a class on government, then maybe everyone will realize that it wasn't the actions of ONE man that screwed the country, but many.... like oh say the House and the Senate... which are predominately DEMOCRATE I might add. Can't blame everything on the Republicans now.... so lets see if the country gets any better shall we?

I would thank the President for keeping us safe and also for not falling into the mud with all the haters. The haters would include Dick Durbin and Harry Reid and Ted Kennedy just to name a few. He conducted himself with class and always! always! did what he thought was best for the nation. Thank You Mr President your loyalty and resolve will always be appreciated here. Chris Lowell, Mass

The effects of George W. Bush will not end until the recession(depression) is over and this is only getting started. It is interesting that the wealthy are now getting affected by what was allowed under the Bush administration and again it is only getting started. Of course, the Madoff's are out there but the pummeling effects of a bad economy is snaking its way throughout the classes which make up this great country. We will have no idea just how bad this economy will be until that recession(depression) is over and the question is just how long will that be! If it is correct that it may by some estimates take as much as 17 years to get to the previous state of affairs before every facet of recession(depression) is done, that is a long time. We must take into consideration presidential hopefuls who have had stunningly poor business ventures like Dubya but in his case, that was a warning signal gone unappreciated!

I'm so sorry for the mess I made. Goodbye!

Hey guys there can never be D................b president like me anymore in the history of America. I am the first and would be the last. HORAYYYYYYYYYYY. Bye my pawns.

Nothing, dammit. Just f***ing go already.

How about, "Oops."?

Two things – "I'm sorry" and "Good-bye"

I'm sorry.

From the beginning of his running for president thru his whole time in office, I have never watched him any time that he has spoken to the US. I am not going to begin now when he is on his way out the door. he has been the most dense and moronic president that we have ever elected into office. His best bet is to cancel this final farewell and walk away. The american people are not interested in anything he has to say. He has caused this ginormous mess and we cannot wait to see the back of him walking away. Good riddance to you Bush!

"I won't return!" Jack, I am enjoying your book.

Id like him to address this nation of WHINERS! Yes you heard me...he wasnt a great president, but no one likes him anyway and he can hold up a brutal mirror of truth the population of this country. Show them what week overly sensitive cattle we've become. Id like him to rattle off every racial epithet ever created in a george carlinesque rant that puts an end to this facade of a once great country.

I think the truth would be nice for a change

I am here to make a plea bargain. Do you want Cheney, Rove and Gonzalez? Then, let's deal.

"Cheney and I are getting married"

He shoud say, sorry for being arrogant.

"To my all fellow americans, you will definitely not have to kick or throw around my pictures anymore . sorry bye"

I would get the best laugh from

"Man, that Dick Cheney is a do#che bag!"

That would make my time worthwhile

and maybe apologizing for the Patriot Act along with the other things my fellow Americans have listed already...

Jack, I think he should say: "You people voted for me. You knew I couldn't pronounce the word 'nuclear' when you voted for me, too. You didn't pay much attention to anything I or my administration did for six years. When it was clear to most sentient beings, including dolphins and crows, that Dick & I had gone completely off the rails, you guys re-elected me. Don't like the way things are right now? Well, its your fault, too, as much as mine. Suck. On. It."

Nathan C., Charlotte, North Carolina

First: An honest apology.
Second: An acknowledgement that he was ruefully influenced, if that's true.
Third: For forgiveness of those you have harmed.

I want to hear Bush give a big "screw U " to the left liberal media including you Jack Cafferty. The media is partially to blame for Bush's ratings. Can't wait to see what the media does to the Mesiah in 4 years.

That he and his cronies should be water boarded for eternity.

i'am sorry for screwing over the american people for the last eight years. But yoy know what. he could care less about what he has done to this country. him and cheney made millions of this phony war in Irag. to bad the bush and Cheney familiies didn't lose a love one over there. We should remember the bushes and republicans destroyed are counrt for there own personel gain. Never never forget.

Hasn't he said and done enough already? I would rather he just slipped out the door quietly. Not another word would work for me.

I would like to hear him tell people all that he accomplished and not apologize for anything he did. We can see that Americans can't handle a leader who stands for what they believe in instead of leaders who stick their finger in the wind to see which way the wind is blowing.I am proud of President Bush and am certain that as history unfolds we will look back and be ashamed at how we have all treated the president. Yes, the world now sees the real america. Better make me feel good or under the bus you go. I pray that President Obama doesn't get the same shameful treatment that the current president has recieved.

Oh my god i never expected that i will run for presidency , never expected to win/steal the presidency , never realized that i was the president of usa for 8 yrs , now can i run/win/steal the presidency again .

It should have been Gore.

No one cares. No one will watch. We will hear a 10 second soundbite later on the news and that will be enought. He should have had the sense to say nothing.

Massapequa, New York

I would like him to tell us how he rigged the election in the first place.

I thought he did that yesterday. But, 'bye bye' would be good.

I'm sorry for everything. I realize that most of you will never forgive me for what I've done, and I will think of that every single day for the rest of my life.

I don't want to hear another thing from this incompetent little man. Unless, of course, it's a guilty plea to war crime charges.

Nothing!

Jack, maybe he could apologize and allow me to clear some room by ridding the hatred.

My Fellow Americans,

In 15 minutes, I cannot say good bye in a way that will cover all of your questions, your concerns, or apologize if I have not led in a way that you expected.

I made mistakes, and they were mistakes that could have been avoided. And, while I honestly believe that history will treat me differently, I can't say I am leaving the Presidency proud of every accomplishment, or without wishing I could have a do over.

Thank you for enduring my Presidency. If I have done anything to better your life, then I did so with great pleasure. If I did anything to bring harm and hurt to you, I did so unintentionally, or perhaps I should say, unwittingly, and you deserve more than my apology.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled program – I have already wasted 8 years of your time.

Thank you. Bushie.

Jack, Bush should realistically say the following:

I did what I thought was right. The American people may disagree with me and the decisions I have made, but history will be the final judge. I stand before you tonight as a simple man who did the best he could for his country. Thank you and God bless America.

I would like President Bush to say.......

I am sorry for protecting America from further terrorist attacks after Bill Clinton did nothing about them.
I regret that I could not stop "Mother Nature" when she unleashed Katrina on a city that was ignorantly built below see level.
I regret that congress has a lower approval rating than I do even though democrats hold the majority.
I am sorry I did not let captured foreign terrorist out on work release programs in the United States instead of keeping them at Gitmo.
and finally.......
I am sorry that my adminstration built 600 milles of border fencing to secure our nation from ILLEGAL MIGRATION.

Enjoy 4 years with Mr. Obama.

I am sorry

I would like President Bush to apologize for the terrorist attacks on our nation. I would like him to apologize for the individuals that took out 100% interest only loans on their mortgage. I would like to hear an apology for the automakers making gas guzzlers that do not sell. I would like him to apologize for the status of our environment since he caused every American to burn more fossil fuels. I would overall like to hear that everything that is at fault in this world is his fault. That way, nobody has to feel responsible for their shortcomings.

I'm sorry

an end to the facade,,,,,,,not the country

How about...
"liberals suck".
I'd like to hear that.

CUT HIS MIC OFF! There nothing you can say that will make up for what you did

I'm gonna make like a tree and get outta here.

He should say: "I am deeply sorry for screwing everything up."

Jack, I would like to hear him say that:
"I am sorry for the mess in Iraq”
For appearing in front of a Mission Accomplished banner.
Saying to the American Public that illegal aliens do the jobs that most American don’t want to do, when we have a skyrocketing unemployment rate, and people can’t even find jobs cause companies are hiring illeagals.
For telling the world that our economy is sound and strong while EVERYTHING comes crashing down.
For not doing anything about the rising Energy demand, and our reliance on foreign oil.
For just standing by, while 2 border patrol agents rot in jail like prisoners in GITMO Bay for doing their sworn duty to defend our nation.
And for just royally screwing over our nation’s image in the world.
How is that for you Jack and Wolf?

Matt Fort Sill, Oklahoma

Let him cover his head in ashes, as a sign of shame and humility.

Mr. Cafferty,

I am a freshman undergrad at a boston area college and I would like to see President Bush look into the faces of students like me and my peers and honestly tell us he left this world in a better place after eight years. Don't patronize us Mr Bush...not everyone can hold their daddy's hand through the tough times.

My hopes rest with Obama...time to act.

Janney
Cambridge, Mass

How about starting with "I'm sorry I had so much trust in Dick Cheney" and ending with "well, at least my oil company buddies had one hell of an 8 year run".

Good riddance...

He should say he was right about what he told Bob Woodward. "I don't care if when I leave Washington. The only friends I have are Laura and the dog'.

Nothing.

Just leave. He's done enough.

Jack,

He should say "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for commiting us to a war in Iraq that was not necessary and has cost over 4000 American servicemen and women their lives. I'm sorry for bankrupting this country by my failed economic policies and lack of oversight. I'm sorry for selling out the middle class and the poor of this country while giving my wealthy supporters billions in tax cuts. I'm sorry for failing our children and our grandchildren for not doing anything to truly improve education in this country beyond offering the empty rhetoric that is No Child Left Behind. I'm sorry for it all." After that, I hope to never hear him speak on TV again.

Nothing....just get the hell out.

Sorry about the mess.

I am truly sorry and apologize for all the errors of my administration that have left the country in this mess.

I do not want to hear one more word from the man who has led America to the brink of ruin, but if he insists on taking up more of our time, an apology would be nice. If he thinks "Mission Accomplished" was his biggest mistake he clearly still has a lot to learn about the extent of the damage his administration has caused. Probably the best thing he could do would be to give the airwaves over to his successor, who needs every minute he can get to fix the mess we're in thanks to Mr. Bush.

To those who think Bush kept us "safe" from another attack since 9/11 – don't give him so much credit as to why there wasn't another attack (many reasons). His war mongering has cost MORE American lives than 9/11 and many more non-American lives of innocent Iraqi and Afghani civilians. His war mongering has increased the threat of terrorism internationally and has resulted in the US being severely hated for it's misled actions.

Bush should admit that he reduced America's status to the level of the same dictators he complains about, by resorting to the use of torture. Torturing for the sake of "security" has not caught Bin Laden in 7 years nor stopped ongoing American deaths in Iraq.

Be Honest about the faiures and try to leave the office with some sence of dignity and honor.

That he looks forward to working with the new Attorney General or a Special Prosecutor in connection with the criminal prosecution of Vice President Cheney and several others at the top of his administration (including, among others, Gonzales, Bybee, Yoo, Rice, Addington, Rumsfeld, Haynes) in connection with his admitted "program" of "coercive interrogation" and secret detention or forced disappearance of human beings in violation of customary and treaty-based international law, various domestic laws, and his constitutionally-based duty faithfully to execute the laws. Part of the Bush legacy undoubtedly involves serial and cascading criminality never before seen among top officials in the history of the United States.

If you were from another planet and read these comments you could never guess it was these people, Americans, who elected the guy twice. Well...okay, maybe once!

But still Americans seem unprepared to take any responsibility for their vote! In a democracy we get what we deserve and ultimately that is all George W. Bush is...what we deserved.

Elections have consequences and if the voters are so lazy as to be led around by pandering fear mongers...well...Bush should just say, thanks for the ride!.

Dear Jack,

I hear tell he is needs to be made to walk back to Texas. I heartedly agree.

Whatever I did, I am sure you approved it in the beginning if not I would'nt have been re-elected for my second term.

Go thats all.

"I would like to donate my family's exorbitant wealth to Ryan from Sacramento, CA."

Don't blame me, YOU elected me.

He should just stand there, like Belushi holding the broken guitar, and say, "Sorry."

I would like to hear him say, "My fellow Americans YOUR long national nightmare is finally over. I will gladly accept my place along side the likes of Herbert Hoover and Richard Nixon as on of the worst Presidents in U.S. history. Goodbye and good luck."

I think he should just slither out, without the speech.... we have heard quite enough from the idiot of a president. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, W.

Jack, he should say one thing, and only one thing, but with sincerity:

"Sorry"

Nothing! Just leave.

Two words : "I'm Sorry"

Good riddance, bad rubbish ... to me. I am finally going to AA (Arrogance Anonymous) and going through the 12 steps to truth and wisdom.

Maybe he should use his last 15 minutes to do a skit with Tina Fey?

You all got what you deserved. You actually voted for me twice. Heee Heee Heee

Wow, between Campbell Brown and Cafferty, what a load whinning. Bush was President for eight years. No attacks since 9/11. Good job. Katrina, the quality of local govenrment in LA speaks for itself. Bush did not place those folks in harm's way. So enough on Katrina. Economy, Presidents don't pull levers from behind the curtain like the wizard of oz. The blame falls all over the country, not alone with President Bush and Vice-President Cheney. VP Cheney has been a solid and loyal public servant throughout his entire career. THANK YOU Pres. Bush and VP Cheney.

What should he say? "In victory, magnanimity: In defeat, defiance. Good luck Pres-elect Obama. Call me if I can help, but don't tell the liberal wacko press, or they will blow a tin foil cap.

I am deeply sorry for what I have allowed and what I have perpetrated upon the American people and the world

"Mission Accomplished!"

"Beer me!"

"Road trip!"

"See ya...don't want to be ya!"

F O R G I V E M E

Well, Jack, I have not watched or listened to him for 8 years, so I won't watch his delusional excuses on Thursday.

The fact that 27% of peeps polled still support him is outrageous to me. How stupid can you get?

After 8 yrs of bush the only honorable thing he could do is to go away and never, never be heard from again. Does it really matter what he says? I just want him to go, let him write his book the prose should be on par with a Dick & Jane book.

Screw you guys, i'm goin home.

I'm turning myselt in to the World Court for war crimes. I'm sorry I trashed the Constititution. I want to be waterboarded daily. and especially – Goodbye.

Jack,

I want to hear Bush joke around again about how much he relates to all the out of work American's, because he too will soon be "out of work".

Followed by the classic G.W..... he, he laugh and dumb smirk.

Marc Singleton
Binghamton, NY

I would like for him to again thank the helicopter drivers for their rescue work after Katrina. Wasn't he suppose to be in the Air National Guard? I guess he was an airplane driver and never got off the runway.

I want Shrub to say

'I am sorry for being responsible for the deaths of over 4000 american service men and women, and untold numbers of Iraqi civilians.'

I am a pathological lier. Even Dick Cheny could not match it. I am planning to go to Pope and kiss his butt for forgiveness.

How about he returns his salary for eight years to the national treasury. Dick Cheney as well. Like a money back guarantee of sorts.

Kevin
Dallas

As much as everyone wants it, he's not going to apologize. He hasn't before, so why would he start now? I wish he'd just stand there, while each one of us gets to toss a shoe at him (all 300 million of us). Not going to happen though. I wish he'd just go away.

One million apologies will never do because I (Bush) have ruined far more than one million lives. I sentenced young soldiers for die and they are still dying today because I failed to get them out. I oversaw countless wealth evaporate, costing people their homes, their savings and their retirements. I was in over my head, surrounded myself with the greedy and was too proud to stand against them. I was a puppet, not a president.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just leave.

What should Bush say? "Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!"

I did it my way............

Sorry yall.

"I'm still sure that eventually we will find the weapons of mass destruction!"

I would love for him to say, "I'm truly sorry. I did the best I could, but the fact of the matter is that I am completely inept and this was not the right job for me."

Sorry I screwed up so bad. Bye!

Jack,

What can he possibly say? Saying I've made mistakes seems woefully small for lying our nation into a war, ruining our reputation on a world scale, trading off millions of American jobs to China in completely unfair trade agreements, failing to do anything to head off the home mortagage diseaster, and allowing our border with Mexico to go unprotected. I am sure I left off something important, but you'll have to forgive me Jack, President Bush has left so much to be upset about and so very little left to say. Goodbye would be the best thing we could hear from this president.

I'm sorry that i scrwed up and that he hopes Obama will do a better job than he did

Julie W
San Angelo, TX

We've never been attacked after 9/11
I upheld my sense of write and wrong
There were no probes with cigars nor bj's involving interns in the oval office

"I wish I could have left sooner..."

I'm an idiot. I believed Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. Once I realized how evil they were, it was too late. So, I guess I have to admit I am a coward for not standing up to them and firing them both in a public display.

As for my own ability to be honest, I can't even be honest with myself, so how can you expect me to be honest with you.

I'll go crawl under a rock now.

"It's all Dick Cheney's fault!"

Sorry America, i know i screwed up the country, but forgive me. Sorry i the war in Iraq was a waste of time, and sorry i can't English worth a dime. That's all. I'll be heading back to Texas where at least some people like me for the idiot i am, and i wont screw up anything that anybody cares about.

I'm sorry... please forgive me.

I am sorry.

As I listened to his press conference I realized that he wasn't going to admit to the mistakes that were made. He doesn't even believe that anything was wrong with the way the federal government reacted to Katrina which was terrible. He still believes that some day he will be remembered as doing things right. What we want to hear as a country is that he made serious judgement mistakes and that he is sorry but his ego will not permit that.

I stole electionin 2000 and you all were stupid to choose me again in 2004, then why the hell are you cribbing about your decision.

I never said I am smart, I am the guy you could have beer with and you made me President, Its not my fault.

He will be welcome back in Texas ,
he can go right to work on rebuilding Galveston !

There is nothing more he can say. "I am sorry" will suffice, "goodbye" is not enough. I am in tears over what he has wrought and hope to never ever eeevvveeeer see his face again as long as i , my children, and grandchildre,etc. live. Unfortunately, he is moving back to Texas where I live as a further humiliation to me. He could offer me some money since I, along with so many, many others, have lost my job after 10 years in a thriving industry at a crucial point in my life.

Let him go, go, go ....nuff said.

First, I would like him to thank all of the brave men and women who daily serve the liberals who have nothing intelligent to say about anything. Then, I would like him to finally stop being a gentleman and tell the American people that everything he inherited came as a direct result of the Billy Bob administration that is about to take over the White house again. Hillary and her cronies will finsih what was begun ubder her husband's regime.
Then I would like him to tell America just how dangerous this new "change" administration will be. If as Obama said in his rhetoric during the campaign "America is theh greatest nation ..." then why do we need change?? In history those who promised so much change all came from the same type of club...Amin, Hussein, Hitler and Mao. See what good came from their change.
Americans think they are in for wine and roses but may wake to find the thorns are worse than expected. God bless America and Heaven help us.

"Peace...out!"

Goodbye

"I wish to God I had lost the first election!"

Jack, I would like to hear, although I know I will never hear it, an apology with some accountability from Bush for lying to not only us but to the world for the Iraq envasion, illegal interrogations, the mess of the economy that he DID put us in, etc etc etc... I could go on and on Jack but the truth is that we will never hear honesty or accountability from this president, there for I'd prefer he say nothing. Absolutely nothing. Maybe he could just hold a simple photo op showing him waving good bye and nothing more, so that we wouldn't have to endure any further mistruths that seem to always flow from his mouth.
Michelle -Madison, Wi

"I'm sorry."

I apologize, America – I didn't realize it would be THAT hard...

"Who me?"

How about a simple "I'm sorry"? Not likely.

"I'm declaring martial law and suspending habeas corpus until the terrorists are gone! Just kidding, I want to let you know that the vast majority of you were right – I AM incompetent."

Nothing at all. We have heard enough of his lies over the last 8 years.

Just once, I'd like to hear him say he's sorry.

Jim from Atlanta

Apologize to the families of the honorable servicemen killed in a needless war in Iraq.

I would want him to say I apologize from the bottom of my heart for my arrogance early on in my Presidency. I made a big mistake when I committed troops to Iraq and I apologize to the Armed Forces, I apologize to the citizens of Iraq. Although, my mistake created a new opportunity for the Iraqi citizens. Let this be a lesson to all future Presidents, arrogance, stubborness is not the proper methodology for leading such a wonderful nation. Sometimes leading from a party agenda needs modification and oversight. If there is anything that I can do as a citizen to offer help to the President elect I will be there for him and the country for the betterment of United States and all nations of this earth.

If I were Bush I would tell the media to stick it. I would tell the American people that many are short-sighted and selfish and should quit whining. I would apologize for not having the guts to fix NAFTA, shut down the border, and not having the indicted the CEOs, Congressmen, and Senators who got us into this finanacial mess. I would apologize to the world for the ignorance of the American people in foreign affairs and for being so clueless as to elect Barack Obama....

I'm sorry. I was just a frat boy playing at president. I really had no business being there at all. I'm neither smart enough, insightful enough or imaginative enough. But you all knew that...didn't you? So it really isn't my fault. It was all Karl Rove's fault...that's it...blame Rove!

I am sorry for the terrible wrongs I have done you. I donate my entire fortune to help those whom I have harmed. I willingly agree to a lifetime of hard physical labor on behalf of the American people after I have been thoroughly water-boarded for my crimes.

I want him to tell us why he would get on and say goodbye during precious television time.

Bill from Lexington

How about, I'm sorry for ruining the economy, pushing us into a war just as pointless as Vietnam, not capturing Bin Laden when the chance was right there, letting Dick Cheney control me, not doing anything when Katrina hit, stealing the election from Gore, and being an disgraceful idiot the whole two terms. Oh, and say "I am the worst president ever."

Tom from Philly

After what this country has gone through over the past eight years, the best he can do is quietly slink away.

LOL ! LOL! LOL! who said he had to say anything !!! LOL!

Go away quietly. ! Thank You and Good night !!!

He can say anything he darn well pleases. I quit listening to his speeches a very long time ago.

Nothing.. instead he should hear from the people. The 4000 lives, the 7.2% unemployed and all the people who lost their savings.

I'd like Mr Bush to say that he is an average joe who should have not ever never been President of this Great Nation in the first place. I'd like him to say he did his best because he did not know any better. George Bush should apologize to the world for his ignorance and lack of understanding of any complex situation. I feel bad for the guy because I truly like him as a person because you can tell that he is aware that he is not bright. Arrogant, you betcha! I like his confidence.
I am really sad for the dude. Pauvre toi, Georgy!
I wish you the best, Sir.
Thank you for not much!
Claud

I don't care What he says, but I would I the names of all the soldiers killed or wounded to scroll across the screen as he speaks.

I'm sorry.

He shouldn't say a thing. Instead, he should take phone calls from the American public and listen to what we have to say to him.

Regretfully they tell me,
But firmly they compel me
to say goodbye
So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu
To you and you and you
My term has gone
To bed and so must I
So long, farewell
Auf Weidersehen, goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Try: I'm sorry, and goodbye.

I need to be arrested for everything I did that was unlawful and untruthful while I was in the White House, I'm sorry doesn't cover it. It like Nixon saying, "I am not a crook"!

When he was govenor of Texas I pegged him for an arrogant moron. I could not stand then to hear him speak, and I will not be tuning him in Thursday hoping for any last-moment improvement. His last press conference showed he has not changed one tiny bit.

My gosh, look at all the lemmings taking one last shot at the President. How can you folks really read and write this stuff.

Have fun with your bashing

I want him to apologize to all American people that he himself failed this county and wasted 8 years of precious time which could have brought prosperity and unity to this country.

I want him to apologize to all American people that he is truly an idiot!!!

GW haters are morons and hate America (and liberal too!)

lets see if CNN mod's keep this one out...

Woops!

Bush should say: I promise Americans that no member of the Bush clan now living will ever seek to occupy the White House in any capacity whatsoever.

I'm turning myself in to the authorities – I need help. I should've
done this years ago, but I was too stupid and arrogant to do so.
(I thought people liked and laughed at the antics of my role model, Eddie Haskell....)
Now, I've decided to be a man. I will not accept any Gov't pension, nor any perks at all after I leave. I did enough damage to the people, the country – gosh, the entire WORLD.

I would like to hear him say, "But your honor, I can't spend the rest of my life in jail", then the Judge replies, "Well then son, you just go on down there and do as much time as you can..."

I'd like to hear anything that contains a little compassion for those he has harmed for once. The complete lack of compassion is why he got the shoe thrown at him, why other countries refuse to deal with him, and why many of us dislike him so much.

"I want you all to close your eyes and count backwards from 10 ... and when I snap my fingers you will all wake up and the eight year nightmare I have been responsible for will have disappeared, and Al Gore will be wishing President Obama good luck as he assumes the helm of our thriving and respected country."

I won't be watching so really I don't care what he has to say. I just hope I'm not subjected to it through the media replaying it ad nauseam. I've never watched any of his speeches and don't intend to start now. He makes me cringe. Is it too much to hope that after Thursday we will never hear from him again, or is he going to be Palinesque and keep pushing himself into the spotlight? I don't really think that's his style, so I'm hopeful he will fade into oblivion fairly quietly.

Dear America,
On this historic night, I wish I could take the time to share a brewski with each and every one of ya. But there's no time for that; plus I know how hard is it to put food on your families these days, let alone any of Milwaukee's finest. So let me put it this way: in thirty years when you go on the Google and search dear old former president Dubya, I hope you won't be misunderestimating my colossal successes, and some of those little disappointmentations along the way. Anyway, thanks for electing me twice, because you know what they say... fool me once...shame on... you. fool me twice... can't fool me again.
Love, me

Be honest for once and say "Sorry for screwing everything up! ".

I'm not sure it is worrying the President a whole lot what Jack thinks thinks or writes.

I'm sorry I'm an idiot.

I'd like to hear him explain how he came to DC as a "uniter, not a divider", but find out why he did absolutely everything in his power to divide the country. With him, it was "my way or the highway". He never worked closely with Democrats. He thumbed his nose at those he should have tried to build relationships with. So Mr. President, why did you divide us instead of trying to unite us, like you promised?

I'm richer, you are poorer. That's the way me and daddy PLANNED it . . . among other things. And! I can't wait to get back to smokin' and snortin' with my daughters on a more regular basis.

just say goodbye–shut up and Go –now is even better than later

Jack.....whatever he might have to say, I won't be watching....his idiotic smirk will not be on my TV. Tuesday, that's when I'll be watching!!!

RJ

Steelers...all the way baby! Here we go Steelers...Here we go!

The less President Bush says the better. The best farewell is for him to leave sooner rather than later and to forever keep his mouth shut without giving us any more bull ever. He will be lucky not to be forced out with a barrage of shoes.

Jack,

Simply-I'm sorry eight times. One for every year he was president.

Roger in Raleigh, NC

I think he owes us one very large apology for all the problems he's caused and lives he's ruined and pain he's dealt. Maybe what he could say is "Sorry, but I've made a mess of everything and I can't take it back" instead of "I'm still number one whether you like me or not, I'll do what I want without any concern about you or anyone else" like he said yesterday.

Michele
Reading, Pennsylvania

Americans, I tried the best that I could with the resources I was given. I'm glad to have served my country but I might have been better off just running for Senate or House.

I was just not capable of being the number 1.

Best,
GW Bush

I only regret that I had but eight years to destroy our country.

He didn't do much, so he shouldn't say much. Most of what he has said in the past hasn't been true away. I would slip out in the middle of the night if I were " W".

I'm the luckiest guy on earth. If someone else had as many screw ups as me. They would have been fired. Now I can write a book, ride my bike and make money off the screw ups I made. Only in America could this happen!

It'd be nice if he just left quietly & quickly. He's got too long a list of things to apologize for & I wouldn't believe he was sorry anyway.

You're welcome.

"SAYONARA suckers"

He should list his and Cheney's accomplishments. Transferring
our nations treasure into Haliburton and the contractors bank
accounts. No bid contracts and replacing our military with workers
paying higher wages. Placing control of the Iraq oil into U.S. and
British control. Building the largest Embassy in Iraq without spar-
ing the cost! If the Congess had not put a stop to his investing the
Social Security into the stock market that again would have filled
his friends pocket that would have been one more of his accomp-
lishments. I am in agreement with 95%+ of the comments. Goodbye
and good riddance!

I'd like to hear the truth but he apparently doesn't have it in him to tell the truth so I fear I'll just hear more revisionism and lies about his entire presidency.

The best thing he could do would be to wish President-Elect Obama the best of luck in the challenges he faces in the coming administration and encurage both sides of the aisle in Congress to work with the President and not pursue ideological goals that sit at the extreme wings of each party. I also believe he should encourage the Republican party to turn it's back on the divisive approach they currently take in their electoral politics. Lastly he should thank his employers, the American citizens, for the opportunity to serve the country.

Don't talk, just leave.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. This one to the morons who voted for me TWICE.

No matter what he says, it will be too little, too late. As seen in his farewell press conference, he is still clueless as to the magnitude of his mistakes and the disaster the past eight years have been. If one ever doubted how superficial a person he is, the press conference should have put paid to that. Only one more week and we get a new start and a return – one hopes – to respect for the Constitution. The next few years will be rough but if there is any country in the world capable of reinventing and reppairing itself, it is the United states.

good bye ya'll.

bang (sound door closing behind)

(From outside)

Quick start the car, you got the towels and the pen set right....

Fellow Americans, I want to be honest with you and ask your forgiveness. Forgive me for not being a strong leader my job as the President. I though I had what it takes and my conservative friends ensured I was elected. I failed you. I am sorry!

I..I..I..It's Dick's fault..... H..H..H..He made me do it

He should start by saying , "Let me count the ways how I have failed the trust of the American people and the rest of the world..........".
No doubt Mr. Bush will not say that.
Bush just awarded Tony Blair the United States' highest civil award – the Medal of Freedom. Before leaving office, he should award one to Mr. Chenny as well. I think the partners in crime should be treated equally.

I've decided to leave 6 days early.

He could hum "the sound of silence"

Lou

Apologize for an eight year nightmare

My bad.....

He should learn from the man we needed 8 years ago – John McCain -and give a gracious speach congratulating the president -elect. Sadly, in 2008 it was too late for McCain... it just wasn't John's time but rather Obama's.

Don't sugar coat it- explain mistakes were made, good things happened, and poll numbers are only to be looked at after you leave the office. Offer to work in any way requested with the new President and then get out of his way on the 20th!

That after long deliberation and upon his departure from The White House he will embark on his new career as a stand-up comedian.

Of which will not change his legacy as President but will surely solidify his post-presidential standing ahead of President Carter.

George
Southgate,Michigan

So long, suckers.

Hey, Americans voted for him twice. And how does the saying go?

"Fool me once, shame on – shame on you. Fool me – you can't get fooled again."

To liberals like you and those who watch CNN, Bush simply needs to say "get over it"

Hey Daddy I made your presidency look better and Maybe in * years when we get jeb elected he can make me look better

I'm glad I was able to keep America safe – I hope BO can do the same.

We Americans are loath to admit what we know to be true about our current President, George W. Bush. For to do so is to impugn our own judgment and confirm within our own hearts that we were derelict in our service to our beloved republic when we elected George W. Bush – twice. We want to find a way to define ourselves as the victims of some type of mass conspiracy to conceal from the public the incompetency of the man we twice elected.

We must come to terms with the fact that WE chose George W. Bush AND we were NOT bamboozled! We went into this with our eyes open. We sat through countless press conferences and public appearances where we discovered that our American President had little more than a sophomoric vocabulary and very little intellectual curiosity. We drove to work daily with our radios tuned to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Neal Bortz and we suppressed our rising anxiety about the fact that our President isn't very smart and has failed to capture the imagination of the American people. We nodded with Neolithic zeal as the voices of the far right convinced us that we did not need a smart President. Intellectualism was considered an elitist vice. Smart was out; supplanted by our warped definition of "regular."

Now, we are left with our economy in tatters, two wars, waning American influence and shaken national confidence. The truth of the matter is that every day we look at George W. Bush on our television screens, it is as though we are staring into a mirror and the image we see – that we have come to loathe – is our very own. For George W. Bush is a reflection of us all.

G W Should say he's sorry for making history class for our grandchildren too easy. Nobody will fail History class when they get to the chapter he's written it it. One word will generate an A+ for every student.... LOSER!

How about in detail whatever he has done to keep us safe since 9/11. I think it is important because it has worked!

It doesn't matter what I or the rest of this country wants to hear, he won't say it. He is too proud, he is the type of personality that refused to be wrong. A strong leader admits when he has made a poor decision and then uses the new information they have and changes course for the better.
That being said, I want him to apologize to me and my husband and to the rest of those affected by loved ones deployed to Iraq. He owes him and I and everyone that much for starting an unnecessary war on false pretenses that cost me and my husband two years of our lives together and my husband the full use of his left leg as well as the loss of his best friend and countless sleepless nights.
I will never forget something Bush said, they he doesn't have trouble sleeping at night – well, I would like him to look a service member's family member in the eye when he says that instead of a journalist and see his response then.
This man came close to destroying this nation with the help of lots of political cronies wanting to run the country to their benefit and almost ran it into the ground. I voted for Obama and I honestly hope that he can put this country back on track for it to be a country BY the people and FOR the people...like it was always meant to be.

I have no desire to recommend anything that George W. Bush should say since I will not hear his farewell speech. Just go quietly, Mr. Bush, never to be heard from again.

Laura and I will be moving to the North Pole.

Just to confirm to all the Bush haters like you that you never swayed his opinion. Have a nice Day!!!

I want to hear a "good" farewell Bush-ism to remind me of W now that he is going into retirement; like "Retirizationing" or "relaxationism". I'm going to miss ol' Webster...

Actually I think he should at the very least allow one person to throw a shoe at him.

Then leave

I would like to hear President Bush ask Congress to put their backs into the work of helping restore our country and ask his fellow citizens to pitch in and help President Obama.

Guilford, CT

"My Bad"

Curtis, Kennesaw GA

GEORGE W. is in deep denial about his eight years in power.We American voters need to shoulder the responsability for electing a man who's IQ and lack of leadership has led us down this path.Anyone in denial will minimize,rationalize,and finally justify his failures.I expect W. to do this as incompetently as he is capable.Many of our countries problems date back well before W. came into office,and 911 set the stage for the exploitation of this lack of leadership and integrety in our "best government money can buy".George W needs a rest and so do the American people.I just hope he pronounces all his words correctly as not to embarrass himself further! Rick from Phillips,Wisc.

Jack,

I don't care what he has to say anymore, however, what I would like to say is "good riddance".

The only thing he could say that would satisfy me is, "Sorry." Anything else is as wasted as his eight years in office.

Nothing. Just leave...and take the hate-filled Republican carnival barkers like Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin, et al with you.

better to be a failure as a president than not be a president. notice everything is in lower case. you can't get much lower.

Denis
Upper Saint Clair, Pa.

The sound of those two size 10 shoes said it all for me. Just exit quietly Bushy Boy!

What a bunch of whiney @$$ babies on here. President Bush did what was needed to insure our country was safe. If it meant waterboarding a few terrorists to get information, so be it. We have frat houses with tougher initiations than that. Cry me a river.

For all of you complaining about WMD's, have you forgotten Saddam was given numerous chances to allow inspectors to verify whether he had them. Following 9/11, we could not allow a known user of WMD's to go unchecked. Both Dem's and GOP'ers were advocating forcing Saddam to comply....and that was pre-9/11.

About the Katrina disaster, go blame yourselves. No one told you to live in a city that is below sea level. Guess what when you live in such places those kind of things will happen.

I haven't agreed with everything his administration has done, but he has done alot more for this country than his predecessor ever accomplished.

We should all thank President Bush for his leadership.

He could say:
"I started a war based on PERSONAL VENDETTA and killed thousands of innocent troops because of it."
"I brought the economy to it's knees by underfunding OVERSIGHT agencies and touting De-regulation."
"I outed a CIA agent, courtesy of my friend Tricky Dicky and friends."
"I brought on a boatload of my UNDER-EDUCATED CRONIES to fill positions of power because they were faithful to my causes and campaigns."
"Speaking of my friend Tricky Dicky, I let him pocket WADS of KBR cash at the expense of taxpayers, never to be traced back to him."
"I allowed Katrina victims to die when I could have helped them sooner."
Geez...the list goes on and on and now I have to go take a NAP to recover my senses!
GOOD RIDDANCE SHRUB.

Two simple words that the American public deserve to hear....."I'm sorry"

I would like to hear him say, "Old Gee Dubuya has left da building!"

I'm sorry. I had the chance to lead a unified USA after 9/11 and be a president to all. Instead I politicized a national tragedy for the betterment of my party. I decided to win at any cost. Sadly, the cost is now being paid by you, the American public.

An apology would be nice but i dont think one would be forthcoming. He is not intelligent enough to know how badly he screwed up. He is still genuinely shocked that Americans dont like him.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

Nothing, Just Get on Airforce 1 And dissapear forever

If I were Bush I would tell the media to stick it. I would tell the American people that many are short-sighted and selfish and should quit whining. I would apologize for not having the guts to fix NAFTA, shut down the border, and not having the indicted CEOs, Congressmen, and Senators who got us into this finanacial mess. I would apologize to the world for the ignorance of the American people in foreign affairs and for being so clueless as to elect Barack Obama....

See ya!
That would be just right for me, Jack

All I want to hear George say is, "I'm sorry", and "Godspeed Obama".

Perhaps the main thing he should say, is " while we did have erroneous information about Iraq, that wasn't known for some time, you need to look to the Islamists, and their actions, for why we are still there."

"That was not anticipated, and was totally unexpected behavior."

"I do not feel responsible for that."

Jack, He should have said, "STAY THE COURSE" !!

I am sorry, 4150 times, alone, standing in the rain in Arlington, one for each soldier lost in Iraq

Max Matiauda
Miami, FL

I'm arrogant, ignorant, and a coward!

He would be better off saying nothing at all. But if he insists on speaking, he should say, "Good night, and good luck."

He should say nothing just leave (he would probably fumble saying "good bye" too)

Bush Legacy
The whole Bush Legacy is a disaster just like Katrina.
How about the false War in Iraq, 10 plus trillion dollars deficit, 9/11 on his watch, Osama Bin Laden never pursued when we should have captured him, Financial Crisis worst in history, Recession, other countries hate us for Bush's policies, Middle East Crisis, Housing Crisis and our retirement crisis with the bottom falling out of our 401K and IRA'a. Unemployment at its highest. How about Mission Accomplished poster on the Aircraft carrier what a show and that was all it was was a show. How about Bush’s Torture and imprisonment without trial wiretapping and more.
Bush does not want to stand up and face these failures like a man he wants’ to defend himself give me a break.
I still remember the hurricane in Florida I went down to help my 90 plus year old mother in the Florida shelter they had no water the food was not fit to eat and they did not have enough bedding so mom slept in her wheelchair for two nights until I could fly down to her and rescue her. This was happening while the two Bush brothers were strutting around like everything was fine what lies.
needless to say this president has got to be rated the worst in history and will be noted the worst in the future.

Considering the mess we are in thanks in part to his failed policies both at home and beyond, I think the man owes the entire nation a huge apology for "screwing" things up royally.

I wish he wasn't going on national T.V. Thursday night. Mr. President, we've heard quite enough; eight years worth as a matter of fact. Please go home and let us try and fix this mess without any more interference from you and/or your Vice-President. I for one , WILL NOT watch your address Thursday night.

To all the critics...since you're experts...raise some money, run for office and do a better job!

To all my supporters...thank you for your support!

God Bless you all!

That Sara Palin is too much of a Right Wing Conservatice, even for his taste. Now that would be hilarious. (Wink)

Let's face it, he's going to try to justify the unjustifiable for 15 minutes while demonstrating just how far out of touch he really is. Unless he actually apologizes (which isn't going to happen), he'll be wasting his time.

"I'm sorry, I should have done better for this country ! "

I, for one, would like to hear his "stratigery" for the remainder of his life.

"I have enjoyed serving my country and the fact that all you liberals are upset with me tells me I've done a great job! And as a side note Jack I hope you treat Obama with the same respect that you treated me with."

May God Bless America!

I'm very sorry for the damage I have done to the country I love. May I please have your forgiveness. The job, well, it was just too much for me.

As little as possible.

If you think I was bad, wait until you see the next guy!

Thanks Bush for cleaning up the recession you inherited. Also, since the "impeached president" (Clinton) was more worried about cheating on his wife than watching over the country, thanks for making our country safe. No attacks in 7 years. The Obama team has already we may have attacks on our land–why, because the enemy knows Obama is cowardly!!!

Since so many bloggers and crazies still believe that Bush will serve a third term, I think he should joke about the formation of a North American Union... laugh... then look serious again before handing the reigns over to the person that will bring it to us for real.... President Obama.

From VP elect Joe Biden we got a one word answer..."YES". From GWB, we want two words...."GOOD BYE".

"I'm sorry. I was never really qualified for this job, didn't actually win, and golly, I was in over my head really quick. I'll just grab my stuff and go now. Sorry about the economy, and Katrina, and going into Iraq for all the wrong reasons, and for ignoring the Constitution, and well – it's getting late – I should be going"

Remember, my friends, there is another Bush out there. Daddy Bush said he would like for Jeb to run for President some day. Lord help us. Didn't Herbert and Walker do enough? Guess there is more work to be done by the Bushes. AllI ask is that when Jeb thinks it is his turn to "ruin the USA" we will REMEMBER and not give him the chance.

It would be my wish, that he say nothing.

I would like him to say: "LIVE FROM DC, IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!"... and have the last 8 years really be a lame attempt at humor.

He needs to sincerely appologize to the Hurricane Katrina survivors for not recognizing and moving quickly enought to fix a horrible government managed nightmare. His quick stops to the area for photo ops were too short for him to really feel the hurt, pain and hopelessness that many citizens felt. These people were quickly forgotten and replaced by Iraqi people. His vision truly wasn't on Americans in need.

I know what I would like to say to him, good bye and good riddance!

I don't want to hear him say anything at all.

I want him to promise Jeb wont run in 2012

It would be my wish, that he say nothing.

Just exit!!!

Absolutely nothing. I won't be listening and would rather have a root canal, than to ever be forced to listen to pResident Screw Up, again. The sole exception would be to hear him plead to charges of War Crimes in an American court or at the Hague. We're done, don't pre-empt my favorite programs for that vain and fruitless legacy restoration project.

I dont want Bush to have any forum to say good bye....all I hear from him are excuses and history will judge me correctly .

I am so glad to get rid of him (Bush) that I am counting the days until he is gone. I cannot even stand to see him on T.V. and so I will not be watching his farewell.

Who cares? Who will be listening?

I'm sorry.

Sarah Palin, stop causing mis-underconfusion with media to yourself

Im sorry...

I need to go !!!!! LMAO

"Goodbye," will suffice, as the nation heaves a collective sigh.

I am a failure, I will go back to my ranch and you will never hear of me again. I am sorry for ruining your country.

Dear Jack, What I would like Pres. Bush to say, 'I promise on my Scouts honor to stay as far away from politics as humanly possible for the rest of my life, honest!'

Sorry for the mess, we'll let the new guy take care of it.

SORRY! I failed you.

Nothing more from W would be fine.

He should apologize to the American people for all his failures and deceits. Karl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, and all the neocons (William Kristol, etc) should offer a mea culpa as well. James Baker should apologize too–it was his machinations through the courts that foisted eight years of this 'illegal administration' on us in the first place.

You have my absolute promise that there will never be another Bush in the White House.

mary from Ithaca

A simple "Goodbye" is more then enough!

Sorry. However, in the words of Frank Sinatra – I did it my way.

Hello all,

We all agree that Bush failed miserably to lead our nation to greener pastures. History will judge the effect long after he is gone.

I must say though, what can a president really do in the grand scheme of things? Is one man responsible for all of the countries failures? Is it not the elected Senators and Congressman who have a larger role in what happens in our country? To keep my statement short, I will simply say that we all need to pay attention to every decision that is made on capital hill. A government is only as good as the people it governs. We cannot sit back and expect our, "leaders" to fix things for us. Believe me when Obama takes office, as much as I want him to succeed, it is going to be very difficult to keep his promises. Does anyone know when the rules that govern Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were changed? TO answer the question simply the year was 1993. I want the reader to research this further. The major problems in this country are not the fault of any one man president or otherwise. It was the policy of greed over the years that have done this to this once great nation. To everyone who reads this, research what is going on. Become involved and lets change the country together. I have started at the local level with email, phone calls, and scheduled meeting with elected officials. We cannot wait not one more day to institute change. That is my two cents for now. I can go on forever. We are in serious trouble.

A simple "I'm Sorry" will suffice

I'm sorry

I'm sorry for not recognizing my administration's faults until my second term.

Johnstown, NY

I'd like to hear: "Please, not so tight with the cuffs."

How about: Goodbye!

I screwed up!!!!!!!!

"I'm sorry"

Bush to America: "I screwed up. I'm sorry. Goodnight" Why does he need 15 min for that?

I really screwed up our country.
I should have resigned years ago.

I wish you all well in your irrational exuberance over the capabilities of the incoming president. Yes, I certainly made mistakes but I don't think history will judge me nearly as harshly as many of you self-righteous whiners.

I would like for him to say ABSOLUTELY NOTHING>

I want George Bush to say, "Good bye" and don't let the door hit you in the***.

I'm sorry.

oops! – Morgantown, WV

He should be able to nail this speech with only four words: "Sorry guys, my bad."

NOTHING!

Hey Jack, FAREWELL works just fine for me!

A W.M.D. in hand is worth two in the bush.

I'll never show my face again. I promise.

How about "I'm sorry"?

President Bush should really apologize to America and admit that he is a PUNK who has really misled his country.

Goodbuy!

Goodbye !!!

Nothing. I want him to say absolutely nothing.

I'm sorry.

Parody to make a point (not to advocate violence here): Bush's final statement: "In the spirit of our Japanese friend's culture, I will do what any honorable person would do in my circumstances... I will fall upon this sword." But really, what George Bush should do is just go away and hope that the World Court does not try to indict him for war crimes.

I'd like him to say that he's sorry for fooling everyone into thinking he was even remotely qualified for the job. Because he clearly wasn't!

oops...my bad!

I've heard all I want to hear from him already...forever.

David, Ohio

GOOOOOOOODBYEEEEEE

I want to hear him say, "Goodbye. I'm leaving. I won't be back. And I'm taking Jeb with me."

How about just a simple "I'm sorry, I tried." Then fade to black....

GOODBY!

Like Porky Pig would say "Da Be, Da Be, Da Be, Thats all folks".

I believe the only thing Bush could say would be:

"Yes I deserve to be impeached! Please impeach me".

Lowell/ Napa, CA

I think that he only thing that he should say is "I'm sorry"

One Word Farewell: "Goodbye"!

I guess an "I'm sorry" is out of the question huh?

Wouldn't it be ironic if his last message was " Mission Accomplished"

-What Bush should say
I rightfully earned my place as the worst president in US history. I worked my buns off to receive this distinction. Not many people can earn the distinction of being the absolute worst in their field. I should be congratulated for my rare accomplishment.

Good by forever

Say? How about Sorry I was a sorry president and such a mess!!?

A coherent, intelligent and thoughtful sentence. At least we can all still afford to dream...

How about 'I apologize'

The answer's in the question...FAREWELL

I'll be on Nasa's next probe to Jupiter.

Stan Schurman
Barrie, Ontario

I know I'm going to hell and I won't insult God by asking Him to save me.

GOODBYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So long and thanks for all the fish

What would I like Bush to say?
"I'm sorry."

I want to hear him say:

"I am a loser"

Think I'll get my wish, Jack?

I'm sorry.

NOTHING AT ALL! What could he possibly say at this point in his disastrous tenure that would make a difference? I don't intend to watch. He just leave the White House stage and disappear quietly.

Two words – "I'm sorry."

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld & Bremer should be surrounded by a division of US Marines, handcuffed, and flown to the Hague to face an international war crimes tribunal.

May the ghosts of 4,000 dead US soldiers and 100,000 dead Iraqis haunt them the rest of their days.

Good riddance!

I'd like him to say "goodbye". That works for me.

"Sorry. My bad."

To quote Porky Pig, "Buhdah, buhdah, buhdah-that's all folks."

Sorry

All i want to hear are the word's " Yes i'm gulity" But that ain't going to happen Jack.

I would like President Bush to apologize for the 4000+ Americans killed to take down a petty dictator, and to admit the failure of his leadership over the past 8 years. And I would like him to promise not to write a book. He has not to say that the American public wants to hear.

Simply put he should say, "sorry."

Just say Sorry and leave it at that. Should only take a second not 15 minutes.

All I want is for Bush to strike his chest three times while saying, "Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa."

I would love W. to say either "I screwed up" or "Mission NOT accomplished."

Pure, Simple. To the point. And it will mean less time we have to watch him on TV Thursday night

I'd like him to say "I'm sorry for my mistakes." And nothing else. No BS that Katrina wasn't that mishandled, really. No BS that he's saved more lives than have been ended, or treated the soldiers well. I want an apology, no excuses. And frankly, 8 years of salary and retirement returned.

Jack,

Do not misunderestimate Bush. He will have a lot of misread literature to read. Malapropism at its best!

Kiss my a// I m out of hear!!!!!

I would love to see a very real meaningful goodbye. Also would like to see him admit he screwed this country. Be nice to see him cry while he said it, oh wait i will be the one crying because it will be the last time we have to look at him

I would like the President to APOLOGIZE FOR HIS IGNORANCE ON ALL AREAS OF FAILED POLICY!

Ok, not so much what he says, but wouldn't it be cool if like in the last episode of St. Elsewhere he shakes a snow globe and it turns out these last 8 years have all been a bad dream, taking place in a snow globe, and really Gore won in 2000 and our country isn't trashed and our world isn't in a shambles because in REALITY Bush was not the president for the past 8 years?

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Elsewhere

"The final episode of St. Elsewhere, known as "The Last One", ended in a context different from every other episode of the series. As the viewer pans away from snow beginning to fall at St. Eligius, the scene changes to Donald Westphall's autistic son Tommy, and Daniel Auschlander in an apartment building. Westphall arrives home from a day of work, and it is clear that he works in construction from the uniform he wears and from a conversation in this scene. "Auschlander" is revealed to be Donald's father, and thus Tommy's grandfather. Donald laments to his father, "I don't understand this autism thing, Pop. Here's my son. I talk to him. I don't even know if he can hear me, because he sits there, all day long, in his own world, staring at that toy. What's he thinkin' about?" (A reference to the rock opera, Tommy by The Who) The toy is revealed to be a snow globe with a replica of St. Eligius inside. Tommy shakes the snow globe, and is told by his father to come and wash his hands. Donald Westphall places the snow globe on the family's television set and walks into the kitchen and the camera closes in on the snow globe. [1]

One of the more common interpretations of this scene is that the total series of events in the series St. Elsewhere had been a product of Tommy Westphall's imagination, with elements of the above scene used as its own evidence.

Show Me the Money

oh that 's right we already did

I would like Mr. Bush to keep it short and sweet: "Goodbye my fellow Americans, Goodbye ...."

I have single-handedly revitalized my Republican Party belief that enough of the country can be taken for a ride on sound bite politics to allow us to raid the pantry again and leave you lemmings to pay for it. And, just watch, we will do it again in 2012. Bye bye, suckers.
