George Bush: From White House to 'Whites Only' House

In our downward spiraling economy there is one person losing a job for whom we feel no remorse. George W. Bush will be packing his bags this holiday season and moving to a new location as white as the eye can see. No, it's not the North Pole.

Raw Story reports President George Bush will be moving to an exclusive community in Dallas, Texas post-presidency, where the likes of Ross Perot and billionaire owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban, reside. Here's the creepy part:

Until 2000, the neighborhood association's covenant said only white people were allowed to live there, though an exception was made for servants.

Enacted in 1956, part of the original document reads: "Said property shall be used and occupied by white persons except those shall not prevent occupancy by domestic servants of different race or nationality in the employ of a tenant."

Home is where the heart(less) is.

Bush: "People Voted For Barack Obama Because of Me" No sh*t!

The ABC Bush interview will be the first of many farewells to that mighty president with whom we embarked on a new century. And let us just say, though we have had some rough times and our differences, in the end Mr. President, we'll still always hate you... a lot.

Here are some highlights from George W. Bush's interview with the paternal Norman Rockwell-esque Charlie Gibson that will have you reaching back into your 80s lexicon and letting fly some of your favorite grade school expressions such as, "No shit, Sherlock!" "Duh-uh!" "Thanks, Captain Obvious!" and the timeless classic, "I wish I was never born!"

Interview Highlights:

GIBSON: What were you most unprepared for?

BUSH: Well, I think I was unprepared for war. ...one of the things about the modern presidency is that the unexpected will happen.

GIBSON: I have found you to be an excellent political analyst and commentator?

BUSH: Why? I try not to. (Laughter.)

GIBSON: Palin choice -- help or hurt?

BUSH: I think it helped John. It energized the party. It -- I can remember when she first was named, young women in our office were saying, isn't it great that a woman is in a position to serve on the ticket now, to maybe be Vice President of the United States.

We wonder what the men were saying.

GIBSON: Was the election in any way a repudiation of the Bush administration?

BUSH: I think it was a repudiation of Republicans. And I'm sure some people voted for Barack Obama because of me.

GIBSON: But both candidates wound up criticizing you a lot.

BUSH: Yes, well, that's what happens when you're the incumbent during a tough economic time, but --

GIBSON: Hurt?

BUSH: No, not really. You know, I've been around politics a long time. Remember, I was the guy in 2000 who campaigned for change. I campaigned for change when I ran for governor of Texas. The only time I really didn't campaign for change is when I was running for reelection.

Change!? Why not throw "Hope" in there while you're at it.

GIBSON: Given the fact that you did start campaigning for change, said you were going to change the ways of Washington, do you feel you did in any way? Or did 9/11 really stand in the way of doing it?
BUSH: No, you know -- actually, 9/11 unified the country, and that was a moment where Washington decided to work together.

And that's what he'll be remembered for.
