I guess Im not suprised, George W Bush's farewell address.

[RICHARD]

I saw a humble, tired, and optomistic man, greatfull for the time he served us as POTUS and honored to have served as Comander in Chief of our Armed Services. I think he truely did what he thought was best and that he could have done a better job at it. He was wrong on alot of things but the alternative in my eyes could have been much worse.

I missed it.

I think that the people who blamed him for everything are the ones that are tired of their own nastiness.

My prediction for our new Rockst....President?

All the best wishesand I hope he doesn't catch a heel when he does his signature 'run/hop up the stairs'.

Waiting for that one.

He had the misfortune to make that address on a night that was filled with the sounds and sights of the Miracle on the Hudson.

I think most people were caught up with that, rather than poor George.

Very good point. I watched the speech tonight on Youtube.

It is.

I heard a little of his farewell speech on the radio, but not enough to be able to comment on, to be fair. It feels like much of the world is holding its breath waiting for Tuesday, and I don't know that any one human being could live up to the expectations people have, but I am - as I am my mother's* daughter - cautiously optimistic.

I don't remember any previous Presidents' farewell address either, though.

*Ma was the most optimistic person you could ever hope to meet. The "cautious" part of that sentence is from Dad's side of the gene pool.
