President Bush has had a fantastic 5 years as the President of the United States. He has learned many things, met many interesting people, visited with many friends, and had a whale of a time. There have been many highs and lows. But, overall it’s been great fun.

Asked what his worst moment as President was, Mr. Bush pointed to the infamous "My Pet Goat" moment (or 7 minutes):

George W Bush on 9-11-2001"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."

 

 

Asked what his best moment as President was, Mr. Bush finally settled on fishing:

"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.

Clearly Mr. Bush loves fishing. Who wouldn’t? It’s not as if one has to stop living just because the country is at war. But it occurred to me that Mr. Bush might have missed a lot of things that have happened in this great big world while he was out fishing. So, as a public service I compiled some things he may have missed into the video below:
