Bushisms over the years, is there one that you will never forget? There were more than a few.
"They misunderestimated the compassion of our country. I think they misunderestimated the will and determination of the commander in chief, too." _ Sept. 26, 2001, in Langley, Va. Bush was referring to the terrorists who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks.
_ "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." _ Aug. 5, 2004, at the signing ceremony for a defense spending bill.
Too many to pick from!

That one is my favorite by far... the only problem is that he wasn't kidding. George W has done so much harm in the last 8 years. Look at the state of this nation right now and understand that it's only the beginning.
Bush has no morals, little regard for the Constitution and made himself and all his friends very rich in the process...all at our expense.

I would just as soon forget about Bush entirely. He was the worst president ever as far as I can tell.

There was one they kept showing on TV for months afterwards, I forget exactly, but he said something along the lines of OB/GYN's not being able to practice their "love" on women all over the country. That one was just disgusting and sent nasty shivers down my spine.

I was going to pass this by, but it reminded me of a quote from Bush's first campaign against John Kerry. I don't remember exactly what the question was during this debate, but in answer Bush made reference to "the hatas" (haters) of this country. This was, and still happens to be a young urban term. I thought it was very funny to hear him say this, and I know he was reaching very deep for that one. Unfortunately, it worked, because it got him into office. Well, that and a brother as Governor of Florida
