AP’s final dig at President Bush

President Bush delivered his farewell address this evening. He leaves a mixed legacy. I give him credit where it is due and blame where it is due. But one thing is unadulterated: The pure contempt of the man from the MSM.
Here’s how the Associated Press headlined its dispatch about the speech:
Bush address includes laundry list of back patting
In his farewell address to the nation, President George W. Bush is acknowledging that many of his decisions are unpopular with the American people. But he says there can be no debate about the results.
Indeed, a text of the speech comes with a laundry list of what Bush says are successes.
And there you have it: One final, BDS-tinged kiss-off masquerading as news.
Yes, I think I hear cheering from the AP newsroom, too.

Rogue Cheddar–may we dance wif yo’ dates?
lgm-
You should really be more upset about movie stars, political memorabilia, US Weekly and Dunkin’ Donuts. All this silliness about the failures of the president just weighs a man down. Don’t you realize he’s good and decent? The kind of guy you can go on a bike ride with. Or share a beer with. Isn’t that enough? Sheesh.

All most of the msm are raising children to be like who?
Another generation raising their replacements.
We’re screwed.
KVal57,
hahahahaha
I’m sure they’ll continue to swallow all his bullspit just like they have been doing.
I am so sad to see what has happened to this once great country…from the class of all previous civilizations to a 3rd world country in my lifetime…how very sad.

Bush pushed the bank bailout and opposed the auto bailout. The Bush administration is refusing to say how TARP money is being spent. Democrats in Congress are asking.
Except for the word “Indeed”, this could have come from last night’s Rachel Maddow Show. Her smile shows how clever she thinks she is while delivering a phrase like “a laundry list of what Bush says . . . ”
By the way, the pompous use of the word “Indeed” sounds very Keith Olberman.
And we’re supposed to accept this tripe as news.
Sorry, I can’t get excited by this. Bush has been a DISASTER to the Right. Good riddance W. Please go way and keep quiet while we try to rebuild our party.
Misleading – the administration is following the recommendations of the type of “economists” you were touting just the other day, you know, the Krugman type, the ones who can’t do, but teach.
Apparently not in unison because if enough of them asked, they would be answered. President Bush was a terrific, pro-active president who did his job – he kept us safe for over seven years! Let’s see B Hussein Obama do that for just four.
No worries.
