A light hearted look at the 43rd president of the USA

George W Bush left the whitehouse in January of 2009. Here we take a light hearted look at the numerous funny moments he left in his path, often noted on slips in his public speaking and general gaffes and bloopers we hope you enjoy them as much as we did. This all started as an email I received, and from there I decided to add to it with the intention to laugh along with Bush....We hope you have as many giggles as we did !

    Sometimes you just have to laugh. Very well done.

    The quotes were hilarious but the first video is my favorite. While he certainly made some gaffes (in a number of ways), the video does show he has a humorous, personable side and sometimes we forget that whoever it is residing at the White House, they're only human. Too funny! :)

    I find Bush's funniest gaffe to be this one: "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."
    But when he said, "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", he was unwittingly speaking God's own truth.
