I watched part of it. But I found it painful to watch. Obviously the man is not much of a public speaker. Here he does a bunch of Monday morning quarterbacking and just some plain ol’ “Oops! I made a few mistakes”. Still it is an end of an era. (Thank God!) However, I will be the first to admit, I will not miss the man, at all. I’m just glad it is over, finally!

I also noticed he mentioned that he had made some mistakes; Mission Accomplished, Social Security Reform, which thankfully did not happen, seeing how the markets went. He did however continue to defend his terrible handling of Katrina:
Bush defended his widely-criticized decision not to visit Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005.
Bush said that if he “landed Air Force One in New Orleans or Baton Rouge” shortly after the hurricane, “law enforcement would have been pulled away from the mission.” The media, Bush claimed, would have then asked how he could have “possibly have flown Air Force One into Baton Rouge” when “police officers that were needed to expedite traffic out of New Orleans were taken off the task to look after you?
Of course, that was not the issue, the issue is how long it took to get supplies down there and how it took to get the people out of that Sports Arena down there. To this day he does not see that. Also it was the fact of how it seemed no one was in charge. Not that I am surprised. As they say, you can’t fix stupid. I also noticed that he never did acknowledge that Iraq was a major misstep, but then again, we are dealing with an Neo-Conservative here, one can only expect so much.
I’m just glad not to have to write about the bastard any longer. 
Update: I just realized that I made a rather humorous grammar error. I changed the “was” to an “is” in the first paragraph. Ha! Wishful thinking or Freudian slip! Ooops!
