Funny George W. Bush Quotes


It's been many years now since George W. Bush was the president of the United States. He's had many achievements during his term but he is often remembered for mostly 2 things. First, initiating the Iraqi War of 2003; and second, his rather interesting way with words, more popularly known as "Bushisms".


Bushisms 101: Sometimes, George W. Bush likes to point out the obvious.

"I think we agree, the past is over."

"Those who enter the country illegally violate the law."

"You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test."

"I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe, I believe what I believe is right."

"I couldn't imagine somebody like Osama bin Laden understanding the joy of Hanukkah."

"It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas."


and make up words.

"They misunderestimated me"


Of course, as the president of the United States, it's his job to take interest in all forms of life

"It's important for us to explain to our nation that life is important. It's not only life of babies, but it is life of children living in, you know, the dark dungeons of the Internet."


In the dark dungeons of the internet... and in the depths of the sea?

"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."


Then again, maybe he is just so misunderestimated. After all, being a president is obviously difficult and everyone else has no idea what that's like. He's tried to explain what he does,

"My job is a job to make decisions. I'm a decision.. if the job description were, what do you do.. it's decision maker"

"I'm the decider, and I decide what is best."

"I'm the commander -see, I don't need to explain -I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president."

"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda."

"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror."

"As a leader, you can never admit to a mistake; that is one of the keys to being a leader."

"This is Preservation Month. I appreciate preservation. It's what you do when you run for president. You gotta preserve."

"I just want you to know that when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace."

"You can't distinguish between Al Qaeda and Saddam [Hussein] when you talk about the war on terror."

"Americans will speak of the battles like Fallujah. with the same awe and reverence that we now give to Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima."

"I would still invade Iraq even if Iraq never existed"

"Oh, no, we're not going to have any casualties (in Iraq)"

"The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th."

"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."

"These people are trying to shake the will of the Iraqi citizens, and they want us to leave... I think the world would be better off if we did leave…"

"We will make sure our troops have all that is necessary to complete their missions. That's why I went to the Congress last September and proposed fundamental supplemental funding, which is money for armor and body parts and ammunition and fuel."

"The best way to fight evil is to do some good. Let me qualify that-the best way to fight evil at home is to do some good. The best way to fight them abroad is to unleash the military."

"We are going to correct the imbalances of the previous administration on the MidEast conflict"..."We are going to tilt it back toward Israel."


and his various international relations.

"Border relations between Canada and Mexico have never been better."

"We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease."

"Do you have blacks, too?"

"The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for "entrepreneur"

"I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein."

"Amigo! Amigo!" He called out to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.. in Spanish.


It's no secret that were those who doubted the Bush administration. Bush knew that but he was always quick to remind everyone why he was elected in the first place.

"It's amazing I won - I was running against peace, prosperity and incumbency"

"I understand small business growth. I was one."

"Never again in Washington DC do I want to have to make explanations I can't explain."

"This foreign policy stuff is a little frustrating."

"I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here."

"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound largemouth bass in my lake."

"This is an impressive crowd -the haves and the have mores. Some people call you the elite -I call you my base."

"Well, I think if you say you're going to do something and don't do it, that's trustworthiness."

"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."

"I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things"

"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office."

"Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."


Thank you for your many words of wisdom, Mr. George W. Bush. Even if you felt like you were misunderestimated, you surely amused a lot of people not only in America but all over the world as well.
