What a perfect parting shot for Bush! (Source: The Sun - today's edition)
From Mkini - Bush defends legacy in final news conference:
George W Bush yesterday passionately denied his turbulent presidency had damaged America's moral standing in the world, in a defiant defense of his record in a farewell White House news conference. The unpopular Republican president next week bequeaths Democrat Barack Obama a nation locked in two foreign wars, traumatized by the worst economic slump since the 1930s and with the budget deficit heading towards a trillion dollars. But Bush, in a valedictory appearance in the White House briefing room, was largely unrepentant, arguing he had acted to keep America safe and to spread freedom rather than worry about his rock-bottom approval ratings. He also warned Obama would face the grave threat of a terror attack on the US homeland and summed up his eight years in power as a "good, strong record".
There's only one phrase that best describes Bush's attitude -
'Self praise is international disgrace'.
