did you know about this?

Hello, everybody. First of all, I have to say thank you to those who left their comments for the previous topic. Good job!
Now I have something new to discuss, and to follow the instructions of the blog I must quote my sources: Kristal told me that a very popular topic with Americans is BUSHISMS! Any idea what they are? Does the name sound like any president you know?

Go and find out about them in these links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushism
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Bushisms
How would you describe what makes Americans laugh about these comments? Is it right to laugh at your own president?
On the other hand, what do you think of a president who speaks like this? What qualities should a president have, in your opinion?
If you want to read more bushisms, here go other webpages:

You must have noticed that some quotes contain grammar mistakes. Perhaps correcting those mistakes could be a fun way to improve your language skills! You could even see some videos. Anyway, I hope you have a good laugh.
See you soon!
