Don't mock the greatest president ever.

Thank you. My nose has been bunged up all day but the snort your comment provoked has cleared my passages.

I was really hoping he was going to stand up and say "Heh heh whiteys, I was a muslim all along, and now I'm in charge"

Is it me or is he sounding more and more like President Palmer off of 24 ?

Thank f**k he didn't want to use the occasion to twist the knife a little more eh?

I thought he might have used the quote from Saddam - The costs of the invasion of Iraq will destroy the USA's economy - looks like Old Sads was right as well.

I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and co-operation he has shown throughout this transition.

...

That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.

Thank f**k he didn't want to use the occasion to twist the knife a little more eh?
