2. I think he will now be gone, but must admit that I certainly didn't think that they....

Edited on Mon Jan-19-09 09:54 PM by LakeSamish706

would have just walk away. I wonder why they didn't go all the way with Dictatorship as many thought he was going to do.

7. Yeah, kudos to LakeSamish706. Those who maintained that Bush would leave

at the end of his term were often characterized as naive, innocent or just stupid.

I think the people who told bush what to do are still in place to continue what they do. Does that count?

whether to stay or go. I'm betting that they were very close to declaring a Dictatorship in this country.

36. You're very short-sighted

Bush ISN'T leaving: every small plane crash, every car wreck, every chicken bone lodged in a throat, every case of severe diarreah, every ingrown hair, every airline terminal cleared out due to a knapsack left unattended, every house fire, and every bad mood will be attributed to the guy people can't wait to leave tomorrow.

The butthole can leave town and never be heard from again, but in the minds of many he will never be gone. Sad, pathetic, and a real opportunity for enterprising psychologists.

24. Raises hand.

I have to fess up to wondering if they'd go, too. But I also believe they've committed capitol crimes, so I don't know why they didn't make some kind of power play. Attack Iran or another terrorist attack. Jump start a domestic disturbance that would provide cover for martial law.

Who knows? Maybe they got a 'quid pro quo' from the Democrats.

25. I seriously just think that Bush got tired of it and really just didn't want to be there any longer.

Otherwise it might have been a different story.

30. It would have been easier if he was dictator.

Or if he had his post-9/11 popularity ratings. Hard to pull that off when Smirk and Snarl check out with 22/13 % ratings, though. Still, who really knows? They had leverage right up to the very end. They may well have gotten a deal done to sweep their crimes under the rug.

Much easier to escape to Dubai or Argentina.

27. Hell, I always knew he'd leave office BUT I was one of those that

had firmly held idea that he'd be issuing pardons left and right.

There were a lot of crazy thoughts here. I still don't see how he thinks he can just walk away. If he truly thinks that way than he's a freak of nature. At least, I hope so.

39. I'll admit I was worried he'd try a stunt like that...

Though it turns out that even Bush and his cronies could not withstand the will of the American people when they became united and made it clear what direction they wanted this country to go.

He's getting out of dodge - the current strategy is to leave the country a total mess, then blame the mess on Obama. Besides, Bush wasn't really the one pulling the strings - he was a weak leader, and when the Rethugs come back, it will be with a different front man.

Fortunately, given Bush's very low approval numbers and Obama's decently high approval numbers, I'd say the blame for this country's woes is being correctly directed.

40. Ofcourse he's gonna leave now.......

Plan B was for him to defecate on the country before handing it over to Obama. President Obama inheriting the worst state of the union in history is no coincidence. This is the only way * would've given it up.
