President George W. Bush Quotes
My son Tom and I were watching Walker Texas Ranger the other night. You know, the The Day of Cleansing episode where in this crossover episode, which continued from Martial Law, Walker comes back from Los Angeles with Sammo Law (Sammo Hung) to track down a killer. And, I started thinking about President George W Bush living in Crawford, Texas.
Whether you admire President Bush or not, you have to laugh at some of his mistatementations. Like these:

President George W. Bush has let the nation through some of the most important times in memory. So, naturally, some of the statements that he got right are also memorable. These are some good examples:
- Extending hope and opportunity in our country requires an immigration system worthy of America — with laws that are fair and borders that are secure. When laws and borders are routinely violated, this harms the interests of our country. To secure our border, we’re doubling the size of the Border Patrol, and funding new infrastructure and technology.
- We will work closely with our coalition to deny terrorists and their state sponsors the materials, technology, and expertise to make and deliver weapons of mass destruction. We will develop and deploy effective missile defenses to protect America and our allies from sudden attack.
- Our first priority must always be the security of our nation, and that will be reflected in the budget I send to Congress. My budget supports three great goals for America: We will win this war; we’ll protect our homeland; and we will revive our economy.
- Let us create a new international clean technology fund, which will help developing nations like India and China make greater use of clean energy sources. And let us complete an international agreement that has the potential to slow, stop, and eventually reverse the growth of greenhouse gases.
So, whether you love him, hate him or just don’t care, what he has said is worth the read.
