Got this from a friend. Those of you that are excited by the subject 
line might want to brace yourselves:

=====

If Bush resigned today, this is what his speech might be.....
              
Normally, I start these things out by saying "My Fellow Americans", not 
doing it this time.  If the polls are any indication, I don't know who 
more than half of you are anymore.  I do know something terrible has 
happened, and that you're really not fellow Americans any longer.

I'll cut right to the chase here: I quit.  Now before anyone gets all in 
lather about me quitting to avoid impeachment, or to avoid prosecution, 
let me assure you: There's been no breaking of laws or impeachable 
offenses in this office.

The reason I'm quitting is simple.  I'm fed up with you people. I'm fed 
up because you have no understanding of what's really going on in the 
world.  Or of what's going on in this once-great nation of ours.  And 
the majority of you are too damned lazy to do your homework and figure 
it out.

Let's start local. You've been sold a bill of goods by politicians and 
the news media.  Polls show that the majority of you think the economy 
is in the tank. And that's despite record numbers of homeowners, 
including record numbers of MINORITY homeowners.  And while we're 
mentioning minorities, I'll point out that minority business ownership 
is at an all-time high.  Our unemployment rate is as low as it ever was 
during the Clinton administration.  I've mentioned all those things 
before, but it doesn't  sink in.

Despite the shock to our economy of 9/11, the stock market has rebounded 
to record levels and more Americans than ever are participating in these 
markets.  Meanwhile, all you can do is whine about gas prices, and most 
of you are too damn stupid to realize that gas prices are high because 
there's increased demand in other parts of the world, and because a 
small handful of noisy idiots are more worried about polar bears and 
beachfront property than your economic security.
 We face real threats in the world.

Don't give me this "blood for oil" crap.  If I were trading blood for 
oil I would've already seized   Iraq 's oil fields and let the rest of 
the country go to hell.  And don't give me this 'Bush Lied; People Died' 
crap either.  If I were the liar you morons take me for, I could've 
easily had chemical weapons planted in Iraq so they could be 
'discovered.'  Instead, I owned up to the fact that the intelligence was 
faulty.

Let me remind you that the rest of the world thought Saddam had the 
goods, same as me.  Let me also remind you that regime change in   Iraq 
was official   US policy before I came into office.   Clinton 
established that policy.  Bet you didn't know that, did you?

You idiots need to understand that we face a unique enemy. Back during 
the cold war, there were two major competing political and economic 
models squaring off.  We won that war, but we did so because 
fundamentally, the Communists wanted to survive, just as we do.  We were 
simply able to out spend and out-tech them.

That's not the case this time.  The soldiers of our new enemy don't care 
if they survive.  In fact, they want to die.  That'd be fine, as long as 
they weren't also committed to taking as many of you with them as they 
can.  But they are.  They want to kill you, and the bastards are all 
over the globe. You should be grateful that they haven't gotten any more 
of us here in the   United States since September 11.  But you're not.  
That's because you've got no idea how hard a small number of 
intelligence, military, law enforcement, and homeland security people 
have worked to make sure of that.  When this whole mess started, I 
warned you that this would be a long and difficult fight.  I'm 
disappointed how many of you people think a long and difficult fight 
amounts to a single season of 'Survivor.'

Instead, you've grown impatient.  You're incapable of seeing things 
through the long lens of history, the way our enemies do.  You think 
that wars should last a few months, a few years, tops.

Making matters worse, you actively support those who help the enemy.  
Every time you buy the New York Times, every time you send a donation to 
a cut-and-run Democrat's political campaign, well, you might just as 
well FedEx a grenade launcher to a Jihadist.  It amounts to the same thing.

In this day and age, it's easy enough to find the truth. It's all over 
the Internet,  it just isn't on the pages of the New York Times or on 
NBC News.  But even if it were, I doubt you'd be any smarter. Most of 
you would rather watch American Idol.

I could say more about your expectations that the government will always 
be there to bail you out, even if you're too stupid to leave a city 
that's below sea level and has a Cat 5 hurricane approaching.
 
I could say more about your idiotic belief that government, not your own 
wallet, is where the money comes from.  But I've come to the conclusion 
that were I to do so, it would sail right over your heads.

So, I quit.  I'm going back to Crawford.  I've got an energy-efficient 
house down there (Al Gore could only dream of) and the capability to be 
fully self-sufficient.  No one ever heard of Crawford before I got 
elected, and as soon as I'm done here pretty much no one will ever hear 
of it again.  Maybe I'll be lucky enough to die of old age before the 
last pillars of   America fall.

Oh, and by the way, Cheney's quitting too. 

That means Pelosi is your new President.  You asked for it - you can 
have her.  Watch what she does carefully, because I still have a glimmer 
of hope that there are just enough of you remaining who are smart enough 
to turn this thing around in 2008.

So that's it. 

God bless what's left of   America  Some of you know what I mean.  The 
rest of you - kiss my ass!
