President Bush gives "ultimate exit interview"

President Bush gave his final news conference as president Tueasday, an event that he dubbed the "ultimate exit interview."  He said that he has had a "good strong record" as president.  (Um, if he does say so himself...  because that's how presidents roll.)

Here's a run down of the good, the bad and the ugly of the Bush Administration (in President Bush's opinion).

The good:

* War in Iraq

* Response to Hurrican Katrina

* U.S. interrogation tactics at Guantanamo Bay

The bad and the ugly:

* Failure to find those pesky little weapons of mass destruction

* His focus on social security rather than immigration after the 2004 election

* When he put a "Mission Accomplished" sign on an aircraft carrier following the fall of Saddam Hussein

* Treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib

And then there's his advice to Obama:

* Expect criticsm (And Bush would know.)

* Your "biggest disappointments will come from your so-called friends." (Ooh, details, details, Mr. President!  Sounds like delicious gossip!)
