President Bush farewell speech

The steep 13 minutes from the East Room of the White House before an audience of 200, including 50 guests and members of the Bush cabinet, was a sad end to an administration that, for. Bush on their own, do not always go as planned.

“Like everyone who has held this position before me, I have experienced setbacks,” Bush said in a steady, even cadence. “There are things we do differently if given the chance. However, I have always acted in the best interest of our country in mind.”

Bush’s speech will be the last public appearance until Tuesday, when turning the Oval Office to his successor, Barack Obama. Mr. Obama in May have not seen precisely at 8 am, when Mr. Bush began to speak, which took off from Blair House, the guest house through the Presidency of the White House, where he and his family are to a restaurant a few blocks away.
