He is one of the most hated figures IN THE WORLD!!! I don’t think he will have anywhere to go where he will be respected by anyone… Maybe suicide??

What would a war criminal do after his term expires? Uh, leave the country? Exactly! Where will he go? My guess is the UAE, home of Halliburton HQ. I’d say they owe him a debt of gratitude for the billions they’ve earned during his regime.

And as much as I’d love to be part of the jury that will convict him of dismantling the document he swore to uphold, suspending Habeus Corpus, promoting torture and other hell-worthy acts, I’m afraid he’s going to “slip through our fingers” very much like OBL has.

And why would he STAY? With the dollar falling, the infrastucture crumbling, our health care and learning institutions becoming increasingly incapable, this country’s going down the tubes real quick.

Remember when America was a beacon for the world? Remember when the dollar was a desired currency world-wide? Remember when free speach was demanded and cherished outside of government sanctioned “free speach zones”?

Unfortunately, I’ll be among those of us left with an empty shell of a country after President Smirking Chimp is done with us.

Did you see his press conference yesterday? WWIII is a new comedy coming soon on Fox News. I’ll start popping the corn.

Jim is right, of course: he’ll simply fall back into a life of family money, family connections, and low expectations. I imagine he’ll be perfectly content.

All I want is to never hear his name again. By now, I don’t give a rat’s ass about consequences or punishment or whatever pathetic “legacy” his sycophants can conjure up – I just want him gone. Period. I am so sick of being sickened by this man.

Divorce proceedings from Laura.

Lots of weekends away with “friend” Victor Ashe.

Impeached (after the fact), found guilty of plunder, and given a life sentence like the former Phillipines president, Joseph Estrada.

I am by no means convinced that he will leave office as scheduled. I greatly fear that a national emergency will interveen, and force him to declair martial law. Habieus Corpus will be suspended, congress gived a hiliday, and
the NEOCONS will be completely in charge………..

I was leaning more toward the modern equivelent to Spandau Prison, or somewhere else after his last command perfomance at The Hague. I’d settle for Leavenworth.

Don’t forget the land he bought in Paraguay or Uraguay. I bet they’ve got lots of brush to clear.

I’m just slowly counting down the days.

I wish him the best of luck in whatever he does.

I suppose it’s too much to hope that what he’ll do next is about 20 years in Leavenworth for high crimes and misdemeanors against the American people…

No, he’ll give poorly delivered speeches and get sweetheart business deals that make him richer and more insulated than he is….

What a great country we live in….

I sure hope he goes the speech route. I can almost envision the types of speeches he’ll give …

I agree. Methinks the silver spoon stuck in his mouth all these years left him fundamentally lazy. Thanks for the comment.

Well, first, I predict that a number of journalists will begin to write revisionist pieces about him. My perception is that this is what journalists do. When everyone else is writing from one angle, they look for a different angle which, eventually, a lot of others turn to, as well.

Secondly, I doubt he does much except attend the occasional state funeral or two. He may do a few lectures, but W strikes me as one of those men who should have been working with his hands, like Biff and Happy in “Death of a Salesman.” He loves his ranch and he loves physical labor. It was his curse to be born into a political, white-collar family.

I think he’ll spend most of his time on his ranch.
