- Pres. Bush held what is likely to be his last press conference. In prepared statements, Mr. Bush thanked the press for a job well done. When asked about the in-coming Obama administration, Mr. Bush stated that the "most urgent threat" that Pres.-elect Obama will face is a potential "attack on our homeland."
It's weird talking about "president elect Obama" and now his 8 year presidency is 4 years ago.
It's crazy how he told people to chill out with the rhetic, how it's getting out of control, and here we are now.
Time flies
time flies like a freaking fighter jet. i know this and im only 16 turning 17 in a month. its crazy i wish i was still in 7th grade
What was weirder was the 8 year abortion we went through with Obama president because this inept deep state criminal hack paved the way for him.

john doe what I meant is he is leaving the White House which happens every time a president’s terms end or is voted out after one term. My bad
Love how President Bush knows all the press reporters names very impressive! 👌
I know some contacts who have met Bush multiple times. He knew the name of absolutely everyone in the Whitehouse that he regularly spoke to, VP all the way down to the janitor. Impressive stuff from what I heard.

Imagine trumps last press conference saying goodbye to reporters...
If he loses he’ll probably make a claim the Biden won a fraud election 🤦🏻♂️

This was suppose to one of the least eloquent presidents...but rewatching his speeches and new speeches, he seems to speak pretty well...
Tom that's what happens when you follow the main stream media soundbites. Same thing going on today. See the truth for yourself
Bush is still a piece of shit
Bush's stupid moves drove the economy to recession but he's one of the last real presidents alive with common sense, unlike the moron who has an attitude of a teenager in high school.
@looes74 looes74 Same thing was said about bush. People "even young people" were better informed back then.
And this was before the internet really started booming. People didn't have smartphones till 2007.
Does it not make anyone wonder why Trump was never called a racist and he was welcomed on every liberal late-night talk show until he became president. Then it changed. What changed?
Tom Happy Lin compared to trump

@@the7thofengland135 yea wtf they on about?
Yes it was intentional and you see how the left wing assholes with no sense of humor at all, didn't respond to it one bit. Bush was classy with the very press that despised him. I'm glad Trump slams those mother fuckers every chance he gets. The media is absolutely despicable. And by the way, they are NOT the media or "journalists", they are far left wing nut jobs posing as the media. Just like the 4 liberal justices on the SCOTUS are simply liberal activists wearing black robes. Rid this country of the plague known as liberalism.
Well. I wasn't in the Press Corps but we did went through a lot together. This applies to me personally as well as my first and second families. I want to thank President Bush for all that he has done. He commissioned me into the US Army with General Powell' s and 41's reccomendation post 9/11. My military service has been both challenging and very rewarding. Thank you, Chief. President Bush' s leadership through 9/11 and the subsequent years was exemplary and inspiring. He and his administration pulled America together to respond to the tragic events in NYC and later rebuild in its aftermath. Thank you, Chief. American patriotism was renewd with a fervor for national and military service and a passion for caring for our country. And, finally thank you for assisting the individual families in need of protection and support during your time as President of the United States.- 🇺🇲LAKennedy Cuomo
President Bush inspired me to paint.
Thank you for sharing your personal reflections and expressing your gratitude to President George W. Bush for his leadership and the impact he had on your life and military service. It's clear that his presidency had a profound influence on many individuals, and it's wonderful to hear about your experiences and the positive effects you attribute to his leadership during challenging times, especially in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
President Bush indeed played a significant role in uniting the nation and guiding it through a period of great adversity. His commitment to service and support for military personnel and their families are aspects of his legacy that many continue to appreciate.
Your heartfelt message serves as a reminder of the deep and lasting connections that can exist between individuals and their leaders, and it underscores the importance of leadership during critical moments in history. Thank you for your service to our country, and I'm glad to hear that it has been rewarding for you. 🇺🇸
Well, he lied you into Iraq ..........so you sound pretty foolish don't you
most red neck person on CZcams made me lose some brain cells reading that, you thank him for supporting families in need but why doesn't he help the families of the countries he bombed and made into warzones, not only that but he used your tax money to do it, with the excuse of "brining democracy and freedom" but only wanting oil and money, you have no moral law and do what ever your leader tells you to do, i would not be surprised if joe biden the leader of the free world who cant give a speech and cant ride a bike hope you had a fun time dickriding bush while you had the chance, im not mad but i would like to be, i am vary disappointed in you Americans because your founding fathers did not want you to destroy regions across the world and bring noting but death to innocent families.
how many kids did you shoot
Seems like 100 years ago, or another country. I disagreed with a lot of his policies, but he seemed like he honestly believed all he was saying, did his best to answer the questions asked, and the entire press conference was civil.
Anyone else get the feeling that that era is long gone? The era of respect and dignity no matter what. I didn't agree with President Bush's politics, but I always admired his character. The media routinely annihilated him, yet he took the punches and always remained respectful and presidential.
Agree 100%!!
I'd rather have a president with good policy than a good personality. Policies are more impactful than personality.
@@MrJesseQuinn In trump you have neither. A Jackass with Jackass policies. Go figure.
@@javonhandfield9994 name me one policy that Trump has inacted that has negatively affected the majority of Americans.

Wow.. a civilized conversation between a President and the press.
Joey Amberson ....Isn't it almost surreal?
George Bush invaded a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 so they would be on the same team.
Well the press manipulate and lie for cash either way. So Trump is great there. Activism is either case really gay, rather focus on legit problems than getting some cash on bashing old cartoons or tv shows that you didnt like.
@@user-tu2iy1gp2d No one said Iraq caused 9/11. Iraq kicked out the United Nations weapons inspectors and violated their terms of the peace deal they signed after their forces were driven from Kuwait.
It’s crazy he admits his mistakes and is compassionate . Trump never takes ownership
The man can dodge a shoe like he's in the matrix.
I miss serious, thoughtful and responsible people.
I'm sad they didn't get a lot of his jokes. All he was trying to do was have fun and they just took it all so seriously.
@domifab101 you should run because you’re so smart.
I’d bet anything his intellect is Brobdingnagian compared to yours.
@domifab101 oh he was smart alright. The little puppet act between Cheney and him was all orchestrated from the start. The guy was and still is a snake and a war criminal.
@domifab101 "committed mass genocide"
claims like that are so grossly hyperbolic that they devalue the meaning of the words themselves. its dishonest.
@domifab101 During WW2 genocide was obviously committed-- but bombing campaigns, however unpleasant, were done by every major belligerent involved in the conflict (I.e. both ally and axis powers). Bombing cities is a part of war, and while war is terrible it isn't inherently genocidal. I'm not suggesting bombing campaigns are morally justifiable but I am saying they aren't inherently genocidal. Bush wasn't trying to totally annihilate a people.
Hearsay seriously #searingly
His biggest mistake was picking Dick Chaney as his Vice prez! I think W is at heart a good guy.
Bush is definitely a sweetheart.
Yeah, and Rummy
He's a fucking WAR CRIMINAL. Are you all children?!
I have wondered on his legacy for a long time. I think he was an honest president who unfortunately epitomized the hegemonic and paternalistic complex of American foreign policy in a very precarious time of its history. I always think that anyone who would have been an American president during his time would have likely acted in the exact same way. If he had not acted, his legacy would have still been equally controversial. I think he did the best he could with all that was happening.
3:58 Oh buddy...
We’ve been at this for decades….

Forever Holiday He sure doesn’t show it. He sounds like he likes those who agree with him. If he loved all Americans or gave the perception that he does , he would have the popular vote.
Woo boy, they sure did the total opposite of that
Mary Brett Lorson That was my take away as well..Bush has his haters for some of his decisions..but he a 100 percent called it as far as the Republican Party future would be...I didn’t agree with many of Bush’s policy’s..but he was a descent man..in times of crises..after 9/11 he brought our country together...No President has faced such a tragedy to pull Americans through in our lifetime..You can do the job of Presidency if you don’t have compassion..
Love your artwork.
This is how you bow out as a leader. These days It's hard to remember that America was once civilised
You must not remember much of the Bush presidency if you think that. But I get what you’re saying. American politics is cyclical. Right now where at our worst again

@Kek'd Rigged & Checked Dude, Israel is a country that didn't even exist before 47, it has a small economy, even smaller territory, and it is surrounded by people that want to destroy it. If not for its alliance with the United States they would have succeeded by now. it's amazing how deluded you Israelis can be. That country lives in a much more precarious condition than the U.S. has been since it was founded.
@Hayden L He wasn't has bad as people paint him out to be. The economic downturn wasn't his fault. It was the democrat house and senate at the time. Bush actually warned about the bubble and dems ignored him. With that being said he him and Chaney were warmongers.
Even Bush himself makes fun of "miss-underestimated"

That's the great thing about our democracy, people have a chance to express themselves. I just hope the tone is respectful. He deserves it and so does the country." I despised President Bush all those years ago, perhaps unfairly in many respects. Now he seems like the most dignified and genuine president one could hope for.
That's because Trump actions were beneath the dignity of the office.

@@london8513 oh geeze, there's always that one guy in the comment section....
Presidential press conferences have been a longstanding tradition in American politics and are an essential part of the relationship between the President and the media. These press conferences allow the President to communicate directly with the public and answer questions from reporters on a wide range of issues. The frequency and style of these press conferences can vary from one administration to another and are influenced by the President's communication strategy and the events of the time.
Presidents typically hold formal press conferences in various formats, including solo press conferences, joint press conferences with foreign leaders, and informal interactions with the media. The frequency of these events can vary, with some Presidents holding them regularly and others less frequently.
The importance of presidential press conferences is recognized as a way to maintain transparency, provide updates on government activities, and address issues of public concern. While the format and frequency may change, these press conferences remain a vital means of communication between the President and the American people.
After these last four years we realize how good we had it under George W. Bush. At least he was a president.

This is amazing, the conversation between President and reporters seems so different now. Asking tough questions and Bush responding like a real human. Wow
It's interesting to hear your perspective on the differences in the conversations between past Presidents and reporters compared to the present. The nature of presidential press conferences and interactions with the media can indeed vary widely depending on the President's communication style, the issues of the day, and the dynamics between the administration and the press corps.
Each President brings their own approach to dealing with the media and answering tough questions. Some prioritize open and candid exchanges, while others may have different communication strategies. It's important for the media to ask tough questions and hold leaders accountable, as it is for leaders to provide thoughtful and informative responses.
Reflecting on these interactions can provide valuable insights into the evolving nature of political discourse and the role of the media in our democracy. It's a testament to the diverse range of leadership styles and communication approaches that have shaped the presidency over the years.
What conversation? Biden is a absolute clown compared to Bush jr
#Yes
This is how a transfer of office should be. It was great when there was respect hopefully we can get that back again.
Man watching this now after having sat through the trump presidency.. Bush is so humble and good humored by comparison.
And yet, at the time Bush was considered a terrible president in part due to the war in Iraq on the false premises of weapons of mass destruction. However, he was the last republican president to hold onto some principles and decency as part of the moral code of anyone holding office. Oh man, how things have changed.

Thank you for providing additional information about President George W. Bush's last press conference. It's not uncommon for outgoing presidents to reflect on their time in office and offer insights into the challenges that their successors may face. President Bush's comment about the "most urgent threat" being a potential "attack on our homeland" likely reflects the ongoing concerns about national security and counterterrorism efforts during his presidency, particularly in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Please note that the specific details and quotes from this press conference are based on your description and may not be verbatim. For the most accurate and detailed information about this event, I would recommend referring to official transcripts or reliable news sources that covered President Bush's last press conference, which took place as he was leaving office in January 2009.

As a Dem, I like his style, and he served the country, wrong or right, in honest diligence. Tough watch. Gotta love this man, if not his policies.

Public perception of political figures can evolve over time, and it's not uncommon for former presidents to be viewed differently in hindsight, especially as the immediate political context changes. George W. Bush's presidency, like those of his predecessors and successors, had its share of controversies and challenges, and opinions about his leadership varied widely during his time in office.
As time passes and the historical record becomes more complete, people often reassess the accomplishments and challenges faced by former presidents. They may come to appreciate certain aspects of their leadership or have a more nuanced understanding of their policies and decisions.
It's also important to recognize that public opinion can be influenced by the political climate of the moment, as well as the contrast between different leaders and their styles. Each presidency is unique, and as new leaders take office and new challenges arise, perspectives on past presidents can shift.
Ultimately, how individuals view past presidents is a complex and subjective matter, shaped by their personal experiences, political beliefs, and the historical context in which they are living.

but my teacher said he was a bad man that killed solders in the middle east. Surely my teacher was not wrong way back in the 2000's
Bush said this in 2009, yet some still hated him. why do we need someone like Trump to show us that Bush wasn't that bad.
Everything Bush did while president is what he did! So many give Bush shit for his actions while they say that he was amazing compared to Trump. Why are people like this?! Can we see people for who they are and not for what tribe/clan they represent?

What is Self Pity
People forget that the way things are now, the way Trump has made things, is NOT politics as usual. I did not like George Dubya, his policies, or his take on what should be the direction of the country. But I never worried about him being a threat to democracy as we know it, and he didnt summon up such vitriol in me. I have a strong feeling despite his world view being bent by religion and viewed through the lens of the Republican party that he did love this country and put country before himself or party.
Why this is on my recommendation list. But I heard something “I respect you”, “I appreciate it”. Rather than fake news..

Growing up, i just didnt understand sending 30,000 troops to Iraq. But i guess an old strategy for any country is to convince civilians that might be at risk of breaking the law to go fight abroad to understand what it means to have law at all... Truly i believe there is a better way than that with the technology available to us. Regardless, i appreciated all the homes Bush got people into during his time in office. A strange presidency of contradictions. My understanding of a true politician is to facilitate the life and quality of life of all citizens. War absolutely does not facilitate those principles... Demagoguery and War are the most frightening combination, a true threat to our democracy.

Nah, you weren't wrong. The bar has just been lowered to the Earth's mantle that mediocrity is a welcome solace.
I honestly believe he was just trying to make the world a better place
Nah I can't believe you actually sympathize with a war criminal..
How stupid people are these days..
@@Chris-uf5id I hope you're joking.. There's no way somebody is this stupid.

The respect and civility of Mr. Bush is priceless. Nothing compared to ORANGE... Salute...
This is one of my favorite President George W. Bush. I remember during the Iraq and Afghanistan war. God bless Mr. Bush
Take me back to these times were the president's speeches and conferences talk eloquent and professional. 😥 whether republican or democrat you have to admit conferences like this are most desirable, just like Obama's-Bill Clinton-Ronald Reagan, etc...We might not agree with them completely all. But this is way better than Trump's- Twitter, absurd yelling, racist remarks, unprofessional tone with conspiracy theory leading to violence.
