While websites such as BackwardsBush.com post countdown clocks of George W. Bush’s last days in office (as does NewPrez.com, endofbush, officialbushcountdown, etc., etc), there is one solitary spot on the web where we Americans can profess our sincere gratitude to the 43rd President of these here United States.
In a home page message meant to inspire the 29 percent who currently approve of his job performance, Thank You President George W. Bush expresses their appreciation for his “integrity, morals, selflessness and love for [your] fellow man.”
Insert your own Iraq War, Guantanamo and Katrina jokes here.
The anonymous web host – who can be contacted only at info@thankyoupresidentgeorgewbush.com, tells the visitor in the ‘contact us’ section that the site is “a simple non-political thank you note to President George W. Bush for his eight years of efforts in protecting the sanctity of human life.”
Some of the ‘thank yous’ thus far include charges of war crimes, requisite Hitler comparisons, sole responsibility for the destruction of the Republican Party, and lots of colorful phrases and nicknames not suitable for a news website.
You, too, can visit the website and leave your thoughts on the last eight years, and see if you agree with the site’s assessment that we “could not have felt more secure with anyone other than [you] at the helm.”
In the interest of fairness, the first 700 well-wishes are sincere and appreciative - the most recent postings, well, not so much.

I appreciate the write-up. But I do think its a bit ironic that your assesment of the recent postings are not so sincere...Ironically its because of your write-up. Hey, create the news then report on it!
BTW, statistically the site is getting a ratio of 1:3 supporters of the LETTER, not of GW's entire life. Just thought youd want to know the demo on that.
God Bless
I can only hope that President-Elect Obama will do as well as President Bush in protecting the rights of unborn Americans. Thank you President Bush.
At least Bush isn't friends with terrorists. He's fighting them!
What is wrong with giving thanks? Our world is too quick be negative and cynical.
I didn't like everything about the 8 years of Bush. I am not a Republican.
However, I do applaud the website for giving people an opportunity to give thanks for the positive elements in his administration.
HA!
1:3 in support?
What a lie! Just like nearly every word out of Bush's mouth!
President Bush has kept our country safe and I feel safe under his presidency! I'm not feeling the same way with this new terrorist supporting team of Barak Obama! WE ARE ALL DOOMED!!!!!!!!!
Got something to say?
