Bush Surprised He Wasn't Assassinated

Speaking in the last news conference of his presidency, Bush was asked for his thoughts on the millions of Americans which hate him so vigorously. In response, he stated that he had spent a great deal of time studying the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. Remarking on the response of Americans who were furious with Lincoln, also viewing him as a traitor, it was clear that Bush was significantly concerned that the American people would act to relieve him of his post in much the same way which Lincoln was.

Finding himself comparable to the President who had gone as far as to initiate a Civil War, pitting brother against brother in our countries most bloody war in history, it was only fitting that Bush smiled after indirectly noting that he had never expected to make it to his last press conference. But even he had overestimated the courage, determination and intelligence of the American people.
