"Every kid gets a trophy"

Bush's goodbye address is a festival of self-pity and delusion.

    thank you joan

    for your spot-on summary of tonight's press conference. In addition to the multiple messes both in America and the World that our President has created, in 5 days his strangle-hold on medical research via stem cells should come to an end. And with it, the hope of relief to millions who are suffering because he was 'saving embroyo's' that were never saved, without the option to help another human because of a failed and misguided belief system.

    Good bye and good night President W. I can only hope that your post president life brings some value to America because the last 8 years have been horrific.
