"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."

"I think it was a repudiation of 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."

"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."

Am I the only one who feels sympathy when they hear this man speak? He is not the cocky Mr. Pres he once was.

The war on terror MUST continue. keeping the terrorist busy else where keeps them from coming here and bringing the war to the US. Bush will end up going down in history as one of the top 5 best presidents ever.

The damage is done..and cannot be reversed with his sorry. Pity, he still dosen't has the conscience to close Gitmo or end his stupefied war on terror.

Glad he admits he was unprepared for war, but I don't know where he's getting off blaming 9/11...

Only because it's all over for him.  You'll notice he didn't say stuff like that when it was all happening.  Of course, I wouldn't expect him or anyone to, but I feel like he misled so many people...  He and Cheney.
