"This is the ultimate exit interview," Bush said.
"We have been through a lot together," the 43rd president said. "Through it all, I have respected you. Sometimes I didn't like the stories you wrote." Then, with a self-effacing joke about his occasional lapses in diction, Bush said: "Sometimes I felt you mis-underestimated me."
Asked about his most strident critics, Bush said, "You know, most people I see when I move around the country, they're not angry, they're not hostile . . . they're civil." As for the others, he said, "I don't know why they get angry. . . . Presidents can try to avoid hard decisions and therefore avoid controversy. . . . That's just not my nature.
"In times of war, people get emotional," Bush said. "I've never spent a lot of time listening to the loud voices."

To watch this son of a bitch, (yes i talking about barbara) attempt to defend his incompetence and crimes he has committed (starting with Treason) was like watching a three year old try to explain a shitty pair underwear. The fool knows how to shit and where to shit and but can't control the amount of shit he puts out?
If Obama doesn't hold this crook accountrable, he will be facing major criticism from the victim's and their suvivors! My hope and deep gut feeling says that until Obama takes the oath and gwb is no longer in any capacity of executive authority, the new and legitimate justice system will take serious actions, starting with charging the war criminals with indictments.
