Bush's best moment in office? Reeling in big perch

 

BERLIN (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush told a German newspaper his best moment in more than five years in office was catching a big perch in his own lake.

 

"You know, I've experienced many great moments and it's hard to name the best," Bush told weekly Bild am Sonntag when asked about his high point since becoming president in January 2001.

 

"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound (3.402 kilos) perch in my lake," he told the newspaper in an interview published on Sunday.

 

Bush said the worst moment was September 11 when hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington.

 

"In such a situation it takes a while before one understands what is happening," Bush said. "I would say that this was the hardest moment, once I had the real picture before my eyes."

 

Because Bild could not immediately furnish English quotes, Bush's comments were translated from the German. The paper said the White House planned to release an authorised English version of the interview on Monday.

 

So Bush's 5 years in office and the highlight of his presidency was catching a big fish? Sounds about right.

:lol: this is awesome!!! There really isn't much 'great moments' in his presidency so, I can't say I blame him.. lol

hasnt really done much other than that, look he had plenty of time, he is there almost as much as he is in office!!

 

 

 

 

"And in barely three years in office, George W. Bush has already taken more vacation than Clinton did in seven years." _FACT

 

"Bush has spent 500 days—again, about 40 percent of his time in office—at the ranch, the retreat, or the compound." _FACT

 

AND this is OLD news, the first was from the first three years in office, and the second was from 2005
