I saw it........well, we havent had another attack, have we?  I didnt read his attitude being boastful, myself.......just my point of view.  To me he seemed almost sad.   There are alot who are going to 'boo' this post and I really dont care because Bush did alot of things that made him unpopular.   Bush was instrumental in bringing prescription coverage to seniors in the medicare payor system  As far as being a friend of NATO...........I dont give a rats hiney.  A bunch of corrupt politicians just like in the USA......remember the food for oil thingy?    Bush has done more aide for hiv assistance worldwide over anybody else on the planet.  When the Tsunami killed all those people years ago, who was the first to give out aide money......WE were.  Everything on the planet that went bad in the past 8 years is not his fault.  Bush did not summon Hurricane Katrina.........that disaster was unprecedented <spelling>.  As far as some whacky professor at UCLA Berkley, what he thought, totally insignificant.  Did you even pay attention to that guest list?  Did you see that soldier up front with his wife who dived into an attack in Iraq to save 3 of his brothers in his unit?  Did you hear him mention the md who was waivered the age limit so he could perform medical care to the US military as a battlefield surgeon?  That md did that because his son was killed in battle.........and thought it would honor his son's memory.  Those werent his 200 favorite friends........the majority were heroes.  Did you see the guy who started that school in New Orleans after Katrina?  Cuttie, it looks like you didn't listen to the speech at all.   President Bush will no longer be our President in a couple more days..........and President Obama will be our Commander in Chief.  I think he's impressive and honorable......he will do a great job.  He has a huge problem with our economy, security against terrorism, and healthcare.    He deserves our respect and prayers.  As far as President Bush, I feel he did his best. 

Like the VP, i fell asleep on it

It seems the one good thing Mr. Obama gave us so far is hope.....that is just a beginning to a long hard road ahead of us. Not just him.                           Joni

Did you read my questions? I didn't say anything bad about President Bushes presidency. I was quoting some of his efforts he did well!, and what I saw and heard on the speech. I did see the farewell speech,and I am very aware of his guess list. I just said friends, because I was giving and comparison from the traditional farewell speeches in the past. and trust me, angie, I already knew about his efforts on protecting civilian citizens from terroris tattacks, way before i saw his farewell speech, so I have done my homework, and when I said Bush was boastful about his efforts on keeping American safe, It was a compliment to him.  hell, I told my patients family last night about the md, that went to Iraq to practice medicine in his son's honor, I am greatful for him protecting America, and for his NO Kid Left Behind, thanks to his efforts, and my three daughter's had the best education, two are  in Magnet school's one has graduated from highschool and now is in her second semester in college. I am not criticizing President bushes efforts, he did the best job he thought he could of done as president of the United States. I just was asking everyone's opinion on the questions I asked everyone.

David Letterman is going to miss George Bush terribly.  Did anyone see the tribute to "Famous Presidential Speeches" on Letterman last night?

I missed that. I love it and catch it when I can which is not often. WOnder if we can find it on the net somewhere?

Letterman and all of the comics are going to miss Bush.
