George W: "Can I stop being president now? Please?"

He wasn't that bad of a president.

Permission granted, George. No one wanted you to be president in the first place.

I'm suprised he even realised he was President...

To all those that insist that he "destroyed our country" and that the decay of our economy is all on his shoulders, I ask you to look to congress, who is Democrat and who turned down a slew of legislation that couldve helped our country. Fannie May and Freddie Mac seemed to have been their best friends, as well, because no matter how hard he tried to fix them when they were about to collapse the Dems in congress insisted that there was no problem.

Oh please yes, leave today!!!

Take the rest of your life off!

Its good that he has his fill of destroying our country. HE is probably sad because all of the press is on Obama and Mc.Cain and nothing on him :(

I thought W quit years ago,he can run but he cant hide.

Please Bush leave as soon as you'd like. The sooner the better. We don't need to wait another month and a half to put Obama in let it be done with. I never thought I'd say it but I agree with Bush. Yes you can stop being King of America now.

Honestly, I feel sorry for him. He's had a lot of bad stuff happen to him that wasn't his fault or that he couldn't control. You can't just blame everything on the guy whose in charge.

You gave alll "C" students hope for a better furture, and taught them that "C" is not good enough.

For your terms at office You get a "F", you could at least stayed to a "C" rating.

Hey...didn't you stop a long time ago??

Look George has as God for Help since he had his brother fix the 1st election. Hey I agree with George of this new prayer, we need all the help we can get, and if GOD could lend a hand that would be great, but it seems to me he has let man do as he pleases and the Republican Party has done the least to help the regular Joe in America and as far as Joe the plum-er, it seems to me that he sold out for the money and gave up working al-to-gather. But hey that's only a poor, white guys opinion.

8 more years!
All those people who voted for Bush twice deserve 8 more years of him.

I was wondering about this. Even though it makes sense that he'd be ready to get out of Dodge, he still knows he has a few months to put the final touches on covering his ass while putting the final nail in many policies. I wonder if he'll pardon any other duchebags on his way out?

Anyone know if he was successful passing that bill that basically pardoned himself and his administration?? There's many people who want to convict them, especially Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfield, & Rice, But if Bush managed to successfully pardon them I'm afraid they might get away with murder, war crimes and treason and that would be a sad day for American Justice not to mention sending a message to future leaders that they can do the same...

Feel free to quit at ANY TIME Bushie!

it's so sad that this is a really believable story

haha oh Onion you got me you clever rascal you.

although granted this is one of their most believable stories heh

bahaha if i were him i'd want to get the hell out too.

yup, now you can go back to reading your choose-your-own-adventure books where you can just flip back pages when you f*** up.

I asked that of him 7 years, 10 months, and 2 days ago.

Hate him??? Come on, this man has virtually, single handedly destroyed the Republican Party. Sure, it might have required ignoring the real villain behind 9/11, ignoring the real war in Afghanistan, starting a second war with a country that had done virtually nothing, incurring the wrath of the rest of the world and, letting his friends make big $$ while the rest of us go broke, but the man did effectively trash the Republican Party. I guess I should be fair, he did have help by the extreme right that has taken over the party.

All I can say to Bush is "Don't let the door hit you on the way out."

D'oh. Usually I laugh at others falling for Onion news. Whoops :)

I totally believed that this was real until I saw that it came from The Onion. Poor Bush, I wonder if he has any clue that EVERYONE hates him...

In respect to what my personal meaning of what a president is, I would ask "when did you start"?

And he spouts his own legacy... this man has the mind of a child.

And the country asks in response, "Can we prosecute you for war crimes and as a traitor now?"

Thank goodness he said that. I was honestly expecting him to try to hold onto power, seeing as he's spent so much time expanding it lately.

when did he start being president...I thought Cheney was in charge all along

I really can picture him saying this. Even though I am not his biggest fan, my heart goes out to him. He made some pretty bad choices.

I wonder what he will do afterwords?

I know it's supposed to be a joke, but the sad thing is I could actually picture Bush saying that.

This brings the LOLz!

What a sad man. He is broken.

Ahh bless, yes, Mr Cheney will take over the shredding, sorry the reins and you can head back to your horseys and cows...

You could have stopped long ago as far as the majority of the citizens are concerned.

Yes dear, its all over. Now hurry along and dont touch anything on your way out. Oh yeah, and dont let the door hit you.....
