Bush bids farewell to the press

George W. Bush claimed a "good and solid balance sheet, which has bid farewell Monday to journalists at his last press conference as president. "I did not care of my popularity, but the United States Constitution and the plans that can more easily know what the enemy is undertaking," said the outgoing president, whose record is considered disastrous by a large body of opinion.

Recalling that he had been facing the most serious attack ever committed against the territory of America on 11 September 2001, George W. Bush reiterated that threat continued to weigh on the country. In terms of mistakes, Bush acknowledged that he had been too fast job by installing a banner with the inscription "Mission Accomplished" on an aircraft carrier at the beginning of the Iraq campaign. "I sent the wrong message," he said, also referring to the "huge disappointment" of the discovery of the Iraqi prison of Abu Ghraib, and the lie of the U.S. intelligence services on the supposed presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Beau player since the beginning of the transition period he has managed in a transparent, George W Bush was "very lucky" to be able to attend the investiture Obama, who "promises to be an extraordinary moment." "I wish him the best," he said, describing him as a man "very intelligent and charming." Before leaving the White House, President George W. Bush decorates Tuesday three of the few people who have never stopped supporting his policies. President Alvaro Uribe, former Prime Minister Tony Blair and Australian Prime Minister John Howard will receive the medal of freedom.
