He says his main focus is the completion of his presidential library and museum in Dallas, which will also house the George W. Bush Institute.President George W Bush may not have been the best orator, however, he did protect this Country following 9/11, you knew he was a proud American and I never heard anyone complain about the economy the first 7.5 years of his Presidential term. American's poor choices helped put this country into the economical turmoil it is in today. Many made purchases that they could never afford! It doesn't matter if the interest rate was 0 they still could not afford the purchases they made. Many of them today have either foreclosed, short sale, or claimed bankruptcy. Sad thing is that many of them still live in their very nice homes, continue driving the expensive cars they could never afford and have 3.5 flat screens in their homes and pay little to nothing. While the responsible citizen's are paying high interest rates for very poor choices made by others that can't get credit right now. Time to own up America, stop blaming someone else and take a look in the mirror. You know how to read a contract and figure out that you would never be able to afford a lifestyle that helped destroy the economy.

I'll never forget you, and the meomory of your wiping your hand on Clinton's shirt just like you left us, using the tax payer for a door mat, wiping your shoes on us, by leaving us with TARP, two wars too pay for and all those wonderful tax breaks that never created a job. We thank you for your service and keep up the good work for the poor.

I wish you and Mr. Clinton would spend as much time helping American Indians living in poverty as you do with those outside the USA.
Our government forced American Indians on reservations with promises of health care, jobs, good living conditions, and education. Instead, Native Americans are the poorest of all Americans. On Pine Ridge, life expectancy is 47 years. Average income is under 4,000 dollars per year. Some must travel 3 hours to reach medical care, and some kids spend 2 hours bus rides -- each way -- just to get to school.
Thousands of Indians on reservations have no running water, electricity, heat. We continue invading their reservations --against their wishes -- for oil and mining causes, then don't pay their share of profits.
America has broken every treaty EVER made with Indian Nations.
America's money needs to stay IN America and go TOWARDS Americans who need help. I think it's time we clean up our own messes.
has a lot of relation to isreals situation tring to get back something that was theres hundreds of years ago

Are you going to beg forgiveness from the parents who lost their children in your war? Are you aware that Vincent Bugliosi wants to prosicute you for murder for the thousands of lives lost in your war???????? Please explain how you, Chaney and Rice "protected" us by ignoring the evidence and your own Security advisor that 9/11 was going to occur????

We need to come together as a nation again to clean up this awful mess caused by the dem`s.have a great day sir
it was under Bush that jobs began to be LOST at at alarming rate. It was under Bush that the nation's deepest recession since the Great Depression began. It was under Bush that we were attacked and lost 3,000 souls, and came close to an equally devastating attack over the Atlantic, thwarted by the British.
How, in what universe and by what leaps of imagination and twists of logic, do you conclude that it's the DEMOCRATS who caused this stuff? The facts are so blatant that it's weird to so flat-out deny them. Have you perhaps forgotten the timeline, when the recession and horrendous and pointless surge of the national debt began? What years? And maybe not calculated how many years it will take to repair the damage?
I am so glad Mr. Bush made it to the promised land and is enjoying his expensive home in Texas. I wonder if he ever thinks about how many in the middle class he caused to go bankrupt and lose their jobs, income and health insurance. Probably not!
