As the current president's term draws to a close, I thought it would be a fitting time to take a look at some of my favorite Bushisms that emerged over the past 8 years.
You don't have to like the guy, but you have to admit... he's pretty hilarious!
"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." - September 2000, explaining his energy policies at an event in Michigan.
"Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning?" - January 2000, during a campaign event in South Carolina.
"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.
"We look forward to hearing your vision, so we can more better do our job."- Sept. 20, 2005, in Gulfport, Miss.
"I can't wait to join you in the joy of welcoming neighbors back into neighborhoods, and small businesses up and running, and cutting those ribbons that somebody is creating new jobs."- Sept. 5, 2005, when Bush met with residents of Poplarville, Miss., in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
"These are big achievements for this country, and the people of Bulgaria ought to be proud of the achievements that they have achieved." - June 11, 2007, in Sofia, Bulgaria.
"The fact that they purchased the machine meant somebody had to make the machine. And when somebody makes a machine, it means there's jobs at the machine-making place." - May 27, 2008, in Mesa, Ariz.
"And they have no disregard for human life." - July 15, 2008, at the White House. Bush was referring to enemy fighters in Afghanistan.
"This thaw - took a while to thaw, it's going to take a while to unthaw." - Oct. 20, 2008, in Alexandria, La., as he discussed the economy and frozen credit markets.
And my personal favorite...
"Too many good docs are getting out of business. Too many OB/GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."
Goodbye, George. W. The late night talk show hosts will surely miss you!
