With less than a month to go to the inauguration of the new president of the USA I thought I post some of the ..classic quotes by G.W.Bush.

My pro-life position is I believe there's life. Its not necessarily based in religion . I think there's a life there, therefore the notion of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Here is another:
I dont know what he means but I disagree with him

Another:
We are concerned about AIDS inside our White House- make no mistake about it

Another dealing with fish quotas:
I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully !!

Here he expresses his support of the military:
I do think we need for a troop to be able to house his family. That's an important part of building morale in the military.
Commenting on his first budget:

It's clearly a budget .It's got a lot of numbers in it. Im mot worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself

And finally on Obama winning the election:

I'm mindful not only of preserving executive powers for the new President but for his predecessors as well.

Here you have it , the man was a genius

Is Miltiades trying to distance himself from the US, by now finally, Bush-bashing ... so that it does not come as too much of a shock (perchance, appear anti-black) when he embarks on Obama-objurgating?

I know you are just trying to ingratiate yourself with me dear, after falling foul ... but you have to be a little more subtle than this

We have had enough Bush-isms already

Miltiades finally decided it is now safe to talk about Bush
