Bushism

Once, 94% of American, liked him, supported him..that's after 911.
That was his 'peak' time.
Now, 80% of American are happy because finally he is going to resign.
Yea, he is the 'Great' United States 43rd President, George Walker Bush.
His post will be taken by another Great man (at least now he is really great), Barack Obama in 4 days time.
Anyway, the main character for this post is not Obama.

Bush, though I don't like him like most of the people out there, but I found that he's Cute.
I read about 'Bushism' in the newspaper and I found some of them are really funny.
First of all, what is Bushism?
According to Wikipedia, The term Bushism is a neologism that refers to a number of peculiar words, phrases, pronunciations, malapropisms, and semantic or linguistic errors that have occurred in the public speaking of United States President George W. Bush and, before that, of his father George H. W. Bush, a former United States president.

I'll quote some of the 'Bushism' Sentence here, it really can make people(like me) laugh like hell, imagine the President of United States of America saying these words:
"They misunderestimated me." —Bentonville, Ark., Nov. 6, 2000
(New word created by Bush)

"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." —Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002

"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." —Saginaw, Mich., Sept. 29, 2000
(what a statement)

"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, May 27, 2004

"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, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

"As yesterday's positive report card shows, children do learn when standards are high and results are measured." --George W. Bush, on the No Child Left Behind Act, Washington, D.C., Sept. 26, 2007

仙人打鼓有时错...
Bush was the President, his expertise is Politic, not linguistic...
So, don't laugh at him if he used English wrongly....
Of course, have fun on the sentences he "created"....
Everyone too focus on whatever Bush did....
That's really... -.-"

Hm, am I sound aggressive? hope nope...
