September 4, 2000 — "There's Adam Clymer, major league a**hole from the New York Times" — at a campaign rally in Naperville, Illinois, unaware the microphone in front of him was live.

June 11, 2001 — Bush appeared on Spanish television and said "It is a great honor to travel to Spain and visit the King and also Prime Minister Anzar. But I have to practice the very pretty language, and unless I practice I am going to destroy this language". He had in fact mispronounced the name of the Prime Minister, José María Aznar. He called him ansar, a Spanish word for "goose". (Daily Telegraph)

January 13, 2002 — Bush lost consciousness for a brief time in the White House while eating a pretzel and watching a professional football game on television. He fell from his couch and has a scrape and large bruise on his left cheekbone, plus a bruise on his lower lip, to show for his troubles. His glasses cut the side of his face. (CNN Politics)

August 6, 2004 — Bush told a televised meeting that "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." (BBC News)

November 20, 2005 — Bush attempted to exit a room in China, but it was locked and so he was unable to leave the room, much to the amusement of the world's press. (BBC News, with video)

June 2006 - At a G8 summit, Bush touched Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel's shoulders, causing a surprised Merkel to grimace.

September 7, 2007 — While addressing business leaders at the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) summit of world leaders in Sydney, Australia, Bush opened his address by thanking the host, Australian Prime Minister John Howard for hosting the "OPEC summit". Referring of course to the acronym commonly used for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. After laughs from the audience, President Bush corrected his faux pas by saying, "He invited me to the OPEC summit next year", and laughed. This correction provides a further gaffe, as Australia is not a member of OPEC.

Whilst we may have to take into account that with much of what we see and hear on this, there is very clever editing involved. No doubt to serve some ulterior motive but, that said, not all of it is.... surely??

I mean, c'mon..... the fish and humans co-existing thing?? WTF??!! doh

No other US president has been so ridiculed for so long by so many and there has to be a good reason for that.... the man is a buffoon!!

From what I can gather, his first election did not result in a bona fide win so it beggars belief, knowing that and all about his background, that he was actually voted in the second time??
Jeez...!!! roll eyes

But then.... our politicians aren't all they could be either!! sigh
