Laugh along with Bush
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 !
