President Bush Farewell

Nine to noon it's Laura Ingraham. And she joins us for our weekly get together good morning Laura.

Yeah I was sitting and they I was sitting at -- Bachmann -- and waiting to go on -- and it was. Was quite something a --

As an ambassador -- that would.

What was your impression.

Well. You know I don't want it painted it kind of -- pig pile on President Bush now given -- the economy and them. You know his approval rating it pulled ahead analyze that. Still in the low thirties. -- have to also look at things and.

Terms of the challenges that it safe and obviously came -- the recession it was and they had to deal with the Mandela that would tax cuts and.

Then put on credit reference here as a man the last few years both the Republican Party and the domestic economy took a major hit them. Most of the public still -- a cynical at best -- lukewarm at best about. Are heading on into Iraq in the first place and an Obama supporter of what we did there but I was always very concerned about the fact that the president. Didn't connect main street Iraq with mainstream US they're like an election the people. In and in Detroit but working for GM why should they care about what's happening in ramadi and I'll think that connection was ever made and I think he's suffered. His approval yeah.

That's why I was disappointed in last night I would have liked to see a powerful closing argument that talked about how brain -- people are by the liberal media. And the.

And not blessed that I mean that the people at -- it was just you know that it's classic -- I mean that wasn't particularly well written. There wasn't particularly well delivered and talked a lot about freedom beats and -- man and we -- needed to. They help all these and other people become free democratic nations and there was a little bit irony there because -- No luckily we saw what democracy brought in Gaza. Well Hamas though the argument that if of manipulative come election. The United States since then allies -- safer well that's probably the case yeah we have to deal with that reality and then he still doesn't want to deal look bad and and look it up I said that on fox but my issue is obviously a patriotic. Graceful gracious. Good man and I've had that pleasure getting to now I'm a little bit and I am sure I'm not his favorite person have to immigration fight that. I I I do respect the love that he had -- America and I disagree with a lot of the things he's done especially recently over the economy. But nobody can question -- what he did was not I don't think out of ego are. It -- selfishness or now like what we -- on the clintons scandals that he did because it thought it was right and there are some nobility obviously.

seeking a right and nobility what do you think a Barack Obama hopping in the car at the exact moment have been that. President Bush's speech was starting to go out to dinner.

Well.

I don't I don't I think immediately to attend they.

Oh it embedded in these upon these it is setter by moments -- and DC especially in.

I was looking for okay that means people like bush so that means he's he doesn't have any manner that means. Look how he's thinking if it's now I brought -- almost sitting back and it's. If they came back.

Just kind of are it's an odd thing to do -- you know the symbolism of the audiences something they study every move their feet delta.

Hell yeah I think you know he probably this morning wishes he had Obama though I'd I'd I think it you know it was god. I'm much more concerned about these the audible journey you're on with another 350 billion dollars that that could be -- if Republicans.

Don't get the courage to stand up and speak for the American people so all these other side issues. I'm not all like concerned about right now I'm concerned about. The fact that the war or stop having to fight these old fights now about -- government.

Regulation and and government intervention that we thought we want in the eighties and here we are in the bush administration's second 1979 dollars.

Do you see any signs that anybody is going to stand out then and struggle on this a second half of the --

And -- yesterday and his you know obviously the ranking Republicans in the house them. He's given a forceful. Forceful condemnation of what happened so far with the lack of accountability and I think you're gonna get more Republicans now that their freedom bush. I think more Republicans now feel like okay there's there's a problem was backing the White House that the White House -- the opposite party bush is gone. And bush is who why did they look wildly unpopular and -- in his last 34 years. And so we're gonna we're going to be Arab people and I think that that will be very liberating for a lot of Republican.

Are you are in -- tight schedule this morning sorely ego thank you for taking the time to be --

There are coming next time you get the gig in -- okay this.

Come on the I don't believe he did did you get to be and being now attend degree temperatures he has the he has on the half -- my.

A little.
