Bush's best moment in office
This may be hard to believe, but I am in complete agreement with Bush on this point.

Bush's best moment in office? Reeling in big perch
Sun May 7, 2006 11:01 AM BST169
BERLIN (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush told a German newspaper his best moment in more than five years in office was catching a big perch in his own lake.
"You know, I've experienced many great moments and it's hard to name the best," Bush told weekly Bild am Sonntag when asked about his high point since becoming president in January 2001.
"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound (3.402 kilos) perch in my lake," he told the newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.
Bush said the worst moment was September 11 when hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.
"In such a situation it takes a while before one understands what is happening," Bush said. "I would say that this was the hardest moment, once I had the real picture before my eyes."
Because Bild could not immediately furnish English quotes, Bush's comments were translated from the German. The paper said the White House planned to release an authorised English version of the interview on Monday.

Called in the middle of a golf match, I think this explains our current presidents ultimate goal and hobby: (after a long explanation of his current move in Iraq" ‘I’m calling on all our allies, all good peoples to fight terrorists and help remove the danger of terrorism.....Now, watch this swing.’
my honest reaction to that..."Don't bother me with un-important crap like death and killing our own...watch me swing this club and knock this ball to the moon!...oh crap...that was kennedy that sent us to the moon...I meant, watch me knock this ball to the proper side of the green...thats how this game is played right?"
