Farewell to the man who brought us the 'War on Terror' while defying (defiling?) the English language

After 8 years at the helm of America and the 'free-world', George W. Bush is finally bowing out tomorrow. The world has changed alot over the 8 years "Dubya" has been in charge and he will forever be remembered for:

• The War on Terror
• Coining the expression "Axis of Evil"
  
• The elusive "Weapons of mass destruction"
  
• The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
  

From an African perspective, apparently we are grateful to Mr. Bush for:

• More funding to Africa than ever before
• The scaling up of funding for anti-retrovials to HIV/AIDS patients on the continent
  
• Funding for anti-malarial initiatives such as insecticide-treated nets (ITNs)

One reason I am personally grateful to Mr. Bush is for providing us with befuddling expressions that at times defied logic. Ah yes, the now infamous "Bushisms" that were sure to put a smile on your face as you struggled to decipher what he was trying to say. With the help of About.com, I present to you, my Top 5 favorite Bushisms.

Mr. George W. Bush said:

• "We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease." —Gothenburg, Sweden, June 14, 2001

• "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country." —Poplar Bluff, Mo., Sept. 6, 2004

• "I know how hard it is for you to put food on your family" N.H. Chamber of Commerce. January 27, 2000

• "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." —Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

• "They misunderestimated me." Nov. 6 2000
  

Alas, just a few in a vast collection of expressions by Mr. Bush. Mmmm, I wonder.....maybe Mr. Bush agreed to increase funding to "Africa" because he thought he was funding just one nation and not a whole continent!

For the good and for the bad, we will always remember Mr. George W. Bush!!!
