George W Bush
The British actor, Daniel Craig, had two movies out in 2008, " Flashback Of a Fool " & " Defiance "
I cannot think of more appropiate words, then the above, to describe, the last news conference of his Presidiency.
The appearance really summed up the last eight years, avoidance of the facts, the smirk, rewriting history, and mangaling the english language.
Michael Moore, wrote in a book in 2008, stating that Dick Cheney and Rumsfeld, would go to their deathbeds, unrepentant, however, he should have included Bush, in that passage, because of the performance of W, the other day, was the final slap, in the collective face of America.
If for one minute, the President believes, that he hasn't diminshed the standing of America, in the eyes of the World, he must stuffered brain damage from choking on that preztel. Poll after poll, conducted year on year, in many different countries, have and continue to show hatred and contempt towards America, because of W.
And who back me on this point, no other then a prominent McCain backer, Donald Trump, who was quoted in the British press, last year, as being sick of behind looked down at, abroad, because of the antics of W.
It seems the word mistake, has been replaced, by the word " disappointment " . Well I was disappointed when the Bears didn't make the play-offs, but to go down the road of, I was perfect for the last eight years, and never made an error, just goes to show the arrogance of this President.
Bush, Rove and Rice think that people will forget the last eight years, and at some unspecified time in the future, will don their rose tinted spectacles and look back with warmth towards him. They reckon historians will reflect on the Bush Presidiency, and somehow rewrite his two terms in such a way, the 2.6 million people who lost their jobs in 08 didn't really happen.
W can blame Clinton for inheriting a recession, but then again Clinton inherited another recession, from another President Bush.
