George W. Bush Issues a Mea Culpa for the Crap Economy, Being Unprepared for War And Losing It for the GOP

| Filed under: Icky Icky PooMedia MinutePolitik

w__opt.jpg

This is not a joke.

Our lame duck president, George W. Bush, sat down with ABC's Charlie Gibson Monday and showed that he doesn't totally have his head up his ass.

W on Iraq:
"I think I was unprepared for war. In other words, I didn't campaign and say, 'Please vote for me, I'll be able to handle an attack. In other words, I didn't anticipate war. Presidents — one of the things about the modern presidency is that the unexpected will happen." He also says that the use of incorrect intelligence for warmongering, i.e. that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, is the "biggest regret of all the presidency."

W on the economy and government bail out:
"I'm sorry it's happening, of course. Obviously I don't like the idea of people losing jobs, or being worried about their 401(k)s. On the other hand, the American people got to know that we will safeguard the system. I mean, we're in. And if we need to be in more, we will."

And, acknowledging that he effed things up for the Republicans:
"And I'm sure some people voted for Barack Obama because of me. I think most people voted for Barack Obama because they decided they wanted him to be in their living room for the next four years explaining policy."

This W interview is definitely a must see!!!

    Yea well - fuck it.



  10. 10

    Give that guy a beer! Douche!



  11. 11

    Say what you want about GW, but he had to deal with a shit storm that was not all his fault. Maybe he should have done some things differently….Any President who happened to be in office during 911 would be in a bad situation now.



  12. 12

    yay!



  13. 13

    I'm glad he is taking responsibility for his actions. This country is in a world of hurt because of his F up's…

    Re: Milky Milky – she's baaack



  16. 16

    I personallly will NEVER accept his apologies. He KNEW Iraq did not have WMD but he wanted war badly, so he could leave his name in history books. His name will be there all right, but not in a way he has anticipated. SHAME ON YOU G.W. BUSH, you will burn in hell for the miseries the Iraqis are still enduring to this day, thanks to you.



  17. 17

    where's melissa?



  18. 18

    Is he apologizing for starting a war? Yeah, it's a little late for that. Like thousands of lives and billions of dollars too late.



  19. 19

    Re: BabyLuv – But no other president would have gone to war with Iraq because of 9/11. And no other president would appoint such incompetent people to such important positions.

  23. 23

    i am scared. he has destroyed this country , he should go to prison. what about all those people that don't have a job.



  24. 24

  27. 27

    He said he's sorry that the economy's tanking, he didn't say it was his fault. Typical uneducated liberals manipulating the facts to fit their agenda. I guarantee you that in about six months when Hillary and her pet Junior Senator have run this country into the dirt you'll be wishing George was still in charge.



  28. 28

    I can't wait for him to just go back to Texas and disapear. The villiage will finally get their idiot back. I feel bad for Obama, Bush has left him with two fists full of shit. Well things will get better… I mean… they can't get any worse, right?

    Re: harrybalsac – Nice to hear you admit you are a dumbshit!

    So You can say what you want about W however in 8 years you will all be saying the same thing about whoever else in the white house…..Get over it people…It is just the cycle of politics…P.S. I did vote for Barack…



  31. 31

    Newsflash: Stupidity is not an excuse for fucking up!

    What the hell does a leader do but prepare for emergency, economic and other situations?

    Re: Renfamous – agreed……..the left wing media is equally responsible for the state of our nation…….the man never had a chance…..i don't know how they live with themselves



  34. 34

    "I didn't anticipate war"- yeah right. It is well known thta the Bush gov had been planning a war in Iraq way before 9/11. The bastard will burn in hell.

  35. KSC says – reply to this


    35

    Are most people here 16 and never lived through the ups and downs that life brings? I mean seriously, the economy has tanked before, people have lost jobs, it cycles… The war — well I wouldn't wanted to be in ANY president's position to make the choices/decisions on what's right because WHO KNOWS. No, he's not perfect, but I sure as hell wouldn't want the job.

    Perez, stick your head up your ass….



  36. 36

    GW was a good President- no attack in 8 years come on give him credit…And most of the blame for the financial cris can be placed on the Congress..mainly the democrates that have been in charge for the last 2 years..Especially Barney Frank and Chris Dodd..wasnt it funny how this whole crisis imploded exactly when John Mccain was ahead in the polls during the presidential election…



  37. 37

    Is he at all capable of not looking like a complete retard…..???
    .
    .
    ….i realize that must be very offensive to retards….even they dont wanna look like this loser….i apologize

    So…."is he at all capable of not looking like a "challenged person"???

  38. aj says – reply to this


    38

    He's an idiot, no doubt about that, and probably the worst president we've ever had but I can't imagine how he must feel, knowing that he ruined us in the eyes of the world and is at least partly if not fully responsible for the horrible times we are going through. That must really suck.



  39. 39

    For morons who voted for him. I pity you. You know what they say, "Trick by him once, shame on him. Trick by him twice, shame on you." Feel Free to interchange the word "trick" to other words like "Fuck"…



  40. 40

    I hope reason and logic in the political system shows up by putting him in jail. I don't buy that shit that he is fucking dumb and all. He knew exactly what he was doing. This not a Mc job. He had the balls to run for office he needs to be accountable for his actions.



  41. 41

    Re: mamajud – 33 Oh Mama! The media had nothing to do with the lack of intelligence this president exhibited! You know that! He was on a mission to please his Daddy and failed miserably like he did with EVERY business he laid hands on. No wonder his mother has her ulcer! Get real people!



  42. 42

    He's not smart enough to come up with those answers you know they had to coach him on what to say just like they have all along…
    Check his big ass ears for a hearing device!

    Dear Daddy,
    You know I always wanted to be President just like you and how I wanted to catch that bad Saddam man for you and I did and I hoped that you would be really proud of me. But Daddy, I fucked up the country in the process and now everyone hates me.
    Can I come home and live with you and Mamma?
    Lotsa love,
    George W.
    PS. Can Laura come too?

    Re: Sweetpiece – matthews admitted it himself nov 5th when he said he'd do everything he could to make sure pres obama is a success……..he knows exactly what he and his com padres were doing the last 8 years to make sure enough of the masses believed bush was both evil and a retard…..you're a smart chick……i know your not blind…..you have to admit agendas on both sides have lead us down the path we find ourselves in today

    He is a DynaDouche!!!

    55

    You know, part of me feels sorry for President Bush. He was handed a tremendous thing when we were attacked on 9/11. Granted, he should've listened to those were jumping up and down screaming something was coming. But I don't think anyone could've foreseen the magnitude of 9/11. All that said, he's also made tremendous mistakes, his spending is beyond out of control and he has almost singlehandedly destroyed his party.



  56. 56

    Re: MatsMoe – Mate your safety was never at risk - he even admitted that himself - there were no Weopans of Mass Destruction - that was the excuse they used to go in.
    This is just another example of the US going to war for oil - if it was humanitarian concerns then why isn't the US in Dafur??? No oil in Dafur.
    Dubya wanted to achieve what Daddy didn't and now your country is in the shit for it - he's admitting it - and you're still defending him???

  60. 60

    What President Bush said to Gibson was nothing but B.S. , because after what Bush and Cheney did to this country during the last eight years they will still be laughing their asses off at us all the way to the bank.



  61. 61

    If CLINTON hadn't let bin laden go when he had him in American hands, NO 9-11.
    If Carter and Clinton hadn't promoted bad credit risks, and barney frank had allowed regulation of mortgages and credit- NO CRAP ECONOMY.

    See where this is going, dumbass? But you Saddam Hussein lovers didn't care how many Iraqi's were being murdered every day- or raped or tortured. Oh you WHINE about Darfur, and WHINE about genocide, but you didn't give a crap about the Kurds.

    when all of grow up in about 20 yrs in the history books he will go down as one of the best presidents. He has keep us safe for 8 yrs no one know what is in store for us uder the obama administration and how he will handle thing and who he will take advice from. Lets hope that we are not attack again because you saw what happen in India the same thing can happen here.These are people who say that they will take your last breath away without blinking an eye.Think of youself stuck in that hotel for one moment with just shooting at anyone that was there.They are not looking to talk with you or be your friend they want death and distruction.the more the happier they are

    How endearing..sorta, kinda falling on his sword for the good of his shiteous party. Pity he is not Samurai..he could really fall on his sword. Then again, if he were Samurai, he would have fallen on that sword when no WMD's were found and our nation would have been spared further shame. Nope…none of that for us just more shameless red-necka-rama, posse ass Texass attitude couched in God, jesus and WTF ever else nonsense his crew of asswipes whispered in his C student ear.

    how many days in counting has it been since gwb has kept us from getting attacked on US soil? how many US assets did the clintons allow to get bombed without repurcussions? i think we launched a missile when bill clinton proudly denied having sex "with that woman". it hit an asprin factory and killed hundreds. we're working with the middle east now to clean it up. obama wants us to leave? NO WAY. you're also not getting your $500 for voting for him, and you're getting your taxes raised. also- if you are white: obama's first agenda is to right the wrongs of our history. two supreme court justices gone this year. say goodbye constitution. this is the direction our country is going: the dump.

    Re: antiperesite – You've gone and messed up my favorite Bushism. This is how it goes: "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."



  77. 77

    Re: MatsMoe – I will never argue that 9/11 wasnt one of the worst tragedies in modern history. However there were a LOT of reasons that day came to fruition. A lot of failsafes fell over. People weren't prepared and frankly who could have been for that type of inhuman horror.
    It still doesn't justify the fact that thousands of your sons and daughters have now lost their lives in the sands of Afghanistan. It doesn't guarantee that those responsible have seen any type of justice. And it certainly hasn't seen the end to Al Quieda attacks around the world. Mumbai was just the latest on a very long list.
    Yes 9/11 is a day etched in all our minds and hearts. But it is a date that defines our strength to go on, not a declaration of war on humanity.

    It's Obamas turn now. Let's see what he can do to get this country rolling again. I feel it best to be supportive until proven otherwise.

  84. 84

    I am so proud of him for owning up to his mistakes. Now, hopefully, his ignorant supporters will soon follow suit! Trust me, I was the first person to condemn him (esp. regarding the war), but just by publicly admitting that he was in the wrong proves to me that even the most arrogant will see the light. I HOPE the American public will be forgiving; this man doesn't deserve to be chastised if he admits guilt, which is HUGE for him. Hopefully, Pres-elect Obama and Pres Bush can work together in the little time Bush has left in office and attempt to reverse some of the damage done (esp this current recession!).

    I love people coming here to talk crap about Obama when he isn't even president yet. Especially considering the crap hole we're in right now. They're probably the same idiots who thought the Iraq war would go well. I think they should throw out their crystal balls. They don't know how to use them.

    And to the person who called someone an idiot for saying Bush should go to prison, Bush actually technically broke the law. People will be indicted for their part in torture and will go to jail. Torture techniques that were approved by the Bush administration. But according to Richard Nixon and George Bush, the president can't break the law.



  88. 88

    It's eaasy for him to shrug and say "oh, well". These bad decision don't really affect the rich upper classes do they? THEIR kids don't get sent off to war. THEIR homes or jobs don't get lost. THEY don't have struggle to afford the necessities in life. FUCK THEM!



  89. 89

    Sure, NOW he admits his mistakes less than 2 months before he leaves office. Easily the worst president of my lifetime - I missed Nixon by a month but Bush definitely sucked ass. Obama is gonna spend at least half of his term cleaning up the mess Bush left behind.



  90. 90

    YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY PEOPLE - While half the Fucking world was complaining and firign warning signals all those years ago most of what we saw was YEAHY BUSH!

    Europe as a whole was freaking out - AMERICAN CELEBRITY ANTI BUSH Activists were running to us and asking for help and writting songs, books and creating little armys against him BUT…………………

    ALLOT OF DICKS VOTED FOR HIM!!!! - And not matter what you hear he still got ellected! So Fucking live with it as we are now living with it! WE the People of Europe, Australasia North east south Western Europe have to deal with the wave of financial FUCK UPS its creating!

    THANKYOU AMERICA - It will take Allot more than BANG BANG OBAMA to save your reputation…..

    HOWEVER after all that Bitching - i do like you more now that he's president.. not sure about Hillary getting in there though!?!?!?



  92. 92

    Words are just words. It's all a conspiracy. Did you know that Hitler had Henry Ford's picture on his desk? Did you know that Henry Ford supplied the trucks and tanks for Hitler? What does that tell us? That maybe there was a reason why we waited so long before we saved what little bit of Jews that were left? Sounds like it was a conspiracy to me. It also sounds like Henry Ford and Hitler were buttbuddies. HAHA
    Bush, you made people spend money they had saved for years. You took it all and you took it from everyone, except the cronies.

    I'm certainly no fan of his. Think he's the worst Prez in history. But…I *do* think he was d-u-p-e-d into that war by his advisors. And previously, for nearly a decade, Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz beat the warm drum, continually pressuring GW. And I *do* believe Hussein d-i-d have WMD at one time. Of course, GW could've made up his own mind instead of listening to his dopey advisors. But they are just as guilty as he is.
