And I predict he'll be clapping in joy over shiny objects

Yeah, uh-huh:

President Bush predicted Monday that voters will replace him with a Republican president who will "keep up the fight" in Iraq. "I'm confident we'll hold the White House in 2008," Bush told donors at the Republican Governors Association annual dinner, which raised a record $10.6 million for GOP gubernatorial candidates.

Bush is always confident and perpetually "not anticipating".

Picture from what Bush undoubtedly described as a "White House Round Table Discussion".
