Bush says he leaves with `good, solid record'
Source: AP

WASHINGTON (AP) — Gathering his Cabinet together one last time, President George W. Bush declared his administration had achieved "a good, solid" record and gave thanks to both his closest aides and Americans across the country.

"I tell people I leave town with a great sense of accomplishment and my head held high," Bush told a small pool of reporters Tuesday at the end of his final meeting with his top advisers. Before the media were allowed in, a burst of applause could be heard from the Cabinet Room.

...

More broadly, Bush touted his "Freedom Agenda," referring to both the U.S.-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and the efforts to combat poverty and disease overseas.

Most of all, Bush said, his administration has worked to protect the country from harm.

"All in all, this administration has relied upon the great compassion of the American people, the sacrifice of those who wear the uniform," Bush said. "And so we leave town honored to have served."

10. "Freedom Agenda"
One last bit of jingoism on the way out the door for the dwindling 20%(and dropping) percenter rubes.

12. If this were true, he would not need to assemble people to make the statement.
It would be common knowledge.

Instead, he needs to get in front of a mike to catapault the propaganda one more time for old times' sake.

15. Good solid record
Of illegal war, torture, drowning New Orleans, unsustainable debt, economic recession...

It's a great record, if destroying the U.S. and its international reputation was his goal.

24. 27% applaud your solid record of lies, murder, thievery & deception.
However, the other 75% are counting down the days, minutes & seconds until your departure, like getting all their teeth pulled from their mouth, one a day, with no Novocain. Slow & painful, Mr bUsh, just the way you like it.
George W Bush is the epitome of 'torture'.

27. True, we haven't had many presidents with such a good, solid criminal record.
But to really nail that record, he needs to be indicted and convicted.
