The End of an Error is Upon Us

In a few days, Bush's regime over the United States will come to an end.  On January 20, 2008, Barack Obama will be sworn in as 44th President of the United States.  As much as we want that day to come, first let's cherish the moment now, and remember all of the good times we've had with George W. Bush.

We all know Bush for how nonsensical he could be.  He embarrassed a nation and ruined relations with other countries.  He said a lot of funny things while being President, bringing us laughs despite the declining state of the nation.  Here are a few of my favorites:

"People say, well, do you ever hear any other voices other than, like, a few people? Of course I do."

"And they have no disregard for human life." --George W. Bush, on the brutality of Afghan fighters

"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

"Throughout our history, the words of the Declaration have inspired immigrants from around the world to set sail to our shores. These immigrants have helped transform 13 small colonies into a great and growing nation of more than 300 people."

"I remember meeting a mother of a child who was abducted by the North Koreans right here in the Oval Office."

"We want people owning their home -- we want people owning a businesses."

"I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft."

"Removing Saddam Hussein was the right decision early in my presidency, it is the right decision now, and it will be the right decision ever."

"Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?"

"Soldiers, sailors, Marines, airmen, and Coastmen -- Coast Guardmen, thanks for coming, thanks for wearing the uniform."

"I'm oftentimes asked, What difference does it make to America if people are dying of malaria in a place like Ghana? It means a lot. It means a lot morally, it means a lot from a -- it's in our national interest."

"I thank the diplomatic corps, who is here as well."

"And so, General, I want to thank you for your service. And I appreciate the fact that you really snatched defeat out of the jaws of those who are trying to defeat us in Iraq."

"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office."

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

"Wait a minute.  What did you just say?  You're predicting $4-a-gallon gas? ... That's interesting.  I hadn't heard that."

(On a side note, thank you About.com for many of the quotes.)

Ah, good times, good times.

Oh yes, and let us not forget the shoe throwing incident:

It's been a long, very long eight years, and now we must say goodbye to our beloved Commander-in-Chief.  Here is the end of a tribute to the true American Idiot.
