WASHINGTON - President Bush offered up a new entry for his catalog of �Bushisms� on Thursday, declaring that his administration will �never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people.�
Bush misspoke as he delivered a speech at the signing ceremony for a $417 billion defense spending bill.
�Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we,� Bush said. �They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we.�
The president was working his way toward a larger point. �We must never stop thinking about how best to defend our country. We must always be forward-thinking,� he said.
The news article speaks for itself. Obviously, Bush misspoke, but do we really want a President who is continually committing verbal faux pas like this, and cannot communicate in intelligible English? What if he said something like this to a foreign leader, and his remarks were translated verbatim?

I have to confess that I always enjoy listening to bush speeches, English is not my first language and I spell terrible but at least I can express in oral English better than him that was born and raised in US and a Yale student I am just a University of PR graduated

Actually, marg, as smokeandmirrors explained, what Bush said was both accurate and proper English. Guess you should do a little more studying as should the author of this thread.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said Bush�s misstatement �just shows even the most straightforward and plain-spoken people misspeak.�
