Whoever will win, the entire world will be glad that this guy will leave the power

pi, Perugia,

From an English perspective, I think McCain could win the presidency comfortably without the explicit backing of Bush. So conservatives may not like him? Who are they going to vote for instead? Is Obama or Clinton really closer to their ideals, even if McCain is a bit off the mark? And McCain would do well to realise that there is a direct equation between distance from Bush and an increase in international popularity. (The whole commander in chief thing will be a whole lot easier if you can actually reduce the number of people wanting to destroy your country, rather than multiply it with the speed Bush has in the last eight years.)

he should have been a comdien.................perhaps he is, and this is one of those weird but funny dreams and we will wake up soon in the real world where the most powerful man in the world is more reassuring....perhaps not..... it was a nice dream though.

As a American I am ashamed that this man has led my country for the past 7 years. I have a feeling that 5 years from now I will be even more embarrassed than I am today because McCain, Obama, and Clinton are equally deplorable.

What a terrible fitting suit. The first thing he reminded me of was a waiter in a third world upper class restaurant... tonnes of 'em dressed like that in Brazil.

Clearly an embarrassment.

Dear old George. We will miss his sweetness and humour.

I'm sure going to miss feeling safe when George retires.

"He's gonna win"; he's basically saying that McCain's going to win the presidential elections.

I tell you, the American elections are very similar to the Russians.

"Pretend it never happened"

Why does this strike me as so fittingly symbolic of the entire Bush presidency?

Looks like the guy who found Sadam's WMD's has ben promoted to the president's appointment secretary...

The article failed to mention anything about the standard of his tapdancing. Surely the US President's ability (or otherwise) to tapdance is newsworthy?
