Farewell to GWB

Obama has taken oath as the 44th President of United States. I would certainly miss George W. Bush. What an entertainer he was!!! It would be a great insult if I do not write about him in my blog. This blog post would be too big to write about all the statements of Bush which were stupid. Almost be used to make one such statement a day. Unfortunately, I could list only a few of them which I have enjoyed.

1) "They misunderestimated me."
Bentonville, Arkansas, 6 November, 2000
2) “You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.”
3) “We're concerned about AIDS inside our White House—make no mistake about it.”
4) "It is white." —after being asked by a child in Britain what the White House was like, July 19, 2001
5) “Most imports are from outside of the country”
6) "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." Washington DC, 5 August, 2004
7) "It's clearly a budget. It's got a lot of numbers in it."
Reuters, 5 May, 2000
8) "I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."
Saginaw, Michigan, 29 September, 2000
9) "That's George Washington, the first president, of course. The interesting thing about him is that I read three - three or four books about him last year. Isn't that interesting?"
Speaking to reporter Kai Diekmann, Washington DC, 5 May, 2006
10) "And truth of the matter is, a lot of reports in Washington are never read by anybody. To show you how important this one is, I read it, and [Tony Blair] read it."
On the publication of the Baker-Hamilton Report, Washington DC, 7 December, 2006
11) "I want to thank my friend, Senator Bill Frist, for joining us today. He married a Texas girl, I want you to know. Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me."
Nashville, Tennessee, 27 May, 2004
12) "I think war is a dangerous place." Washington DC, 7 May, 2003


And he made a comment about internet and blogs as well

"Information is moving. You know, nightly news is one way, of course, but it's also moving through the blogosphere and through the Internets."
Washington DC, 2 May, 2007
