Comment: Great Job...Will miss ya. LOL. from Livermore Me. by Eric

Comment: President Bush-thanks for keeping the war on terror off American soil after 9/11. Thanks for not pardoning a bunch of idiots at the end of your presidency, as well. I wish you could have done more to keep us out of the economic crisis we are now in and I also wish you could have ended the war in Iraq after Saddam Hussein died. You made a lot of mistakes in your 8 years, but you were the best man for the job and did what you thought was right. Thank you. from Auburn/Maine by Gail

Comment: A VERY HARDY GOOD BYE TO BAD RUBBISH !!!!!!! from Monmouth,ME by Wanda

Comment: Disregard the stupidity of those people in Maine sending shoes as a protest and the media showing it. You did as good a job as you could with the Barney Franks, Schuler, Dodd, Pelosi and Reid to try and govern this country and the respect you are showing OBama in taking over after you. Thank you and Laura for serving without firing back at your adverseries. from Gray. Me by Murdock

Comment: Mr. President, you have been a good president with the christian values this country has needed. I feel you have been given too much credit for what has gone wrong in this nation, and not enough for what has gone well. Let's reflect on the truth a moment. 1. You gave us a stimulus package that put money into the economy. You gave working americans a tax break that your successor now will try to repeal. You ended partial birth abortion and promoted good faith based organizations. You made some mistakes along the way but no one is perfect. God bless you. from Wells Maine by Mike

Comment: For a happy retirement keep your head in the sand and remain in denial. However, if applying for a job leave the years 2000-2009 blank. Better yet, just say that as a yound man you signed up for fighter pilot training but for some inexplicable reason you didn't complete it and your memory has been a blank since. from Augusta by Bob

Comment: thank you to president bush, he did his best to protect and defend our nation, and other nations at the hands of terrorists. i have military children, one who was in iraq, and i am proud that he did his part. The goal is to give other children of the world, what our children have here in america, freedom. Because of our freedoms, the protestors can now go and throw shoes at our chief of staff. we only have these freedoms because we have people who are willing to stand up for freedom, like the president, and because of our troops who are willing to fight and die for these freedoms. from south portland, me by mary

Comment: I would like to thank him for doing a good job with a difficult position. Americans should be proud that someone wants this position! He did achieve quite a bit despite what people say. We did not have attacks on this country after 911. He certainly is not responsible for the downward economy. A do-nothing congress should receive more critical analysis. I did not vote for Obama but I will not work against him as he has as difficult a time ahead of him as Mr. Bush did. I even appreciate the anquish Clinton went through as president though I have no repect for many of the things he did. from Saco by Lynn

Comment: George W. Bush has screwed up this country royally and I am happy to see him go! from Sanford by Tim

Comment: the good bye i think he would say is that he did what he can do to protect the american people from ters. and for the econmie well that would be different. but we should look back on sept 11, 2001 with the teris attack that we had, with the world trade center being gone. to me i think with the world trade center being gone is what we are all doing there is more crimes, less jobs, etc. from Old Orchard Beach Maine by richard

Comment: Both my wife and myself want to thank Pres. Bush for making the hard decions and keeping us safe since 911. We know he is very unpopular, but we believe he was the right man for the time. We both are also very very afraid that the dems (as pres. Reagan called them) will not protect us near as well, and that we will be attacked again!! from Hollis, Maine by Ed

Comment: Exceptional job on 911, could have done better otherwise but Congress is equally or more to blame. Both Democrats and Republicans! by Chad

Comment: if it wasen't for your administration! we would't have the great president we are going to have!!! from south portland, maine by chuck

Comment: My message to President Bush is this: Thank you for keeping us save since September 11 and thank you on behalf of the millions of Iraqis and Afghanis for lifting them from opression and giving them a chance for democracy. I wish you would have stuck to conservative principles and had encouraged your fellow Republicans to do so. Even though this crisis isn't directly your fault, your leadership could have prevented it. As a consequence, this country is going to take a leftward and more socialist turn. This means more taxes and more government control of our lives. Not to mention an even more rapid decline in the moral standards of this country. from South Portland by Jim

Comment: Good riddance to ya....lol from Buxton, Maine by Laurie

Comment: Goodbye. Glad to see you going. Never thought I would every say this with a President leaving office. by Linda

Comment: The USA has been safe and protected since 9/11, thanks to your policies against terrorism with your brave and steadfast decisions (although not always popular-you have backed your decisions and never wavered). A President performing his daily duties with no worries at all of approval ratings, will always have my respect. One of your duties was to protect this country, which you have done. You had to make many tough decisions as President, that no other has had to make in the history of this nation. I pray the new Administration will continue with your policies for the safety of our nation. We will have to wait and see what the history books will say about George W. Bush. Liberals may have to suck it up! from Wiscasset, ME by Louanne

Comment: Thank you Bush, Lets hope we learn from the mistakes of what he's done. Its time for change, we need it now. from Wales---Maine by Ryan

Comment: Goodbye and thank god you are gone. I may only be 15, but I know just how bad you messed up the economy and so many other thing up for my Generation. If I could I would be in DC tomorrow to join in, in throwing those shoes over the fence. Goodbye and Fairwell to a big mistake. from Sanford by Sarah

Comment: First of all I'm upset that wgme would have such a poll. I was brought up to respect our President, wether he or she was a Democrat or Republican. Is this what we as adults are supposed to act like and show our children that this kind of behavior is permissible. I don't think so! The media in this country has done nothing but bashed the President of our United Stated, with a lot of help from the Hollywood Bunch. It makes me sick to watch. Sadly to say that this country is no longer United. All we ever hear from the media is negative, negative and more negativity. That Offensive woman you had on the news tonight for example shows that you are also part of the problem that we have. Why do people strive on such hatred. I was very upset to see that Jamilla El-Shafei has started a rally organization to throw shoes at the White House. I think that is the lowest thing that I have ever heard of anyone doing to a President. Signed: Discussted from Augusta , Me 04330 by Theresa

Comment: You can put any kind of spin on it you want but Bush screwed up just about anything he touched. On top of that he lied to the US population as a means to do what he wanted to do and because of his actions lowered the opinion of the US in the eyes of most of the world. To top it all off he allowed people to be tortured and by doing so made many Americans feel dirty and ashamed of this countries for the first time in our lives. Goodbye Mr. Bush I never considered you my president no mater what happens brighter days are ahead just because you will be gone. from Farmington by Richard

Comment: All that needs to be said is Thanks for keeping us safe. We don't always agree with certain things but, we have to respect the decisions made for the good of our country. Best wishes to you and your lovely wife. T. O from Augusta, Me by Theresa

Comment: I wish you would have been paying more attention to things going on in these United States; anything you did good was too little and too late. I wish you would have been as good with words as you were at ducking shoes. I wish voters would have only been fooled once. I wish we could have looked back to said no harm was done. People can joke about you if they wish but I have never seen the humor of waiting for you to understand that the majority of people gave you that job and you should have been taking care of the majority. Thank God that part of our lives is history and perhaps the healing can begin. You can enjoy your rich retirement while US workers lucky enough to still have a job; work to dig this country we love out of this mess. It's too bad it took us this long to say goodbye to you but they say everything happens for a reason. Goodbye and please never speak in public again. from Oakland, Me by Donna

Comment: To the Commander and Chief, go now and enjoy your family and friends. This has to be the worst job in the world. People think they know all the things that should have been done a better way, but they did not have all the information you had to deal with daily. Thank you for trying to keep this country safe, now pass the wand and go enjoy not being told how horrible you are, by those that are so in the loop of what is happening in thier little worlds. Thank you, sir.Brenda--Standish from Standish by Brenda

Comment: Pres. Bush was a good president in some ways and bad in others. I can say that he had no humiliating sex scandals, always thought of our safety first, and kept the liberals at bay. Like the old saying goes, " You Can Please Some Of The People Some Of The Time, But Never All Of The People All Of The Time"......... from Harrison by Cliff

Comment: You made tough decisions when they needed to be made. When we invaded Iraq I believe something like 95% of the people agreed with the decision. Later, most seem to forget that fact. They want you to take the fall for every "bad" situation in the US(even natural disasters). I think you did the best job you or anyone else could have done at the time. God be with you, always. from Waterville, Maine by Christa
