BENTON HARBOR, Mich. - Former President George W. Bush defended his foreign policy and economic record Thursday night, insisting that America will eventually eradicate terrorism and return to an era of financial prosperity.

"Just like freedom is going to prevail," Bush told the 2,500 members of the Economic Club of Southwest Michigan, "our economy is going to be the envy of the world."

In his second domestic public speaking appearance since leaving office on Jan. 20, Bush discussed the major issues of his presidency, including his response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and the decision to invade Iraq.

Bush, speaking at Lake Michigan College's Upton Hall, compared the United States' current ideological struggle with Islamic extremists to previous ones the country faced with fascists and communists. The 43rd president said he firmly believes the U.S. will ultimately prevail and history will judge it as acting rightly.

2. Historically speaking.........

Shut the fuck up George!

3. It WAS the envy of the world - thanks to his deficit spending in 8 years, it isn't.

President Obama is more likely to re-shape it into something enviable again, however...

5. Well, I'm sure you tried your best, Georgie

And that's all Jesus can ask of you.

However, if I were you, I would get off that "history will judge" nonsense. You're looking worse every day, and thousands and thousands of Americans are wondering what the hell they were thinking when they cast their ballots for you in 2000 and 2004.
