A Few Bush Classics

Just a couple of good Bush quotes that I hadn't added before.

“I do want to give you some thoughts about what I’m thinking about.”

“They ought to learn to sing the national anthem in English.”

“When you turn on your TV screen and see innocent people die day in and day out, it affects the mentality of our country.”

“Nobody likes war. It creates a sense of—of uncertainty in the country.”

“There are limits to how much corn can be used for ethanol. After all, we got to eat some.”

And of course, a classic among the classics:

“Sometimes leaders show up who do a great disservice to the traditions and people of a country.”
