Bush speaks: "we honor those who expose our failures, correct our course..
...and make us a better people."

"President George W. Bush poses for a photograph with the 16th Street Baptist Church Choir of Birmingham, Ala., at the Brown V. Board of Education National Historic Site in Topeka, Kan., Monday, May 17, 2004."

Yes, President Bush POSES everywhere he goes, because, well...he IS a poser, after all.

pos·er
(plural pos·ers)
n
1. somebody who poses: somebody who adopts a particular posture for a photograph or painting
2. poseur: a poseur (informal disapproving)

Bush on fainting episode: 'Chew your food'
January 14, 2002 Posted: 6:38 PM EST (2338 GMT)

"EAST MOLINE, Illinois (CNN) -- President Bush -- scraped and bruised after a fainting spell -- extolled motherhood on Monday as another symbol of American patriotism, and gave the John Deere workers he addressed a lighthearted lesson to chew on.

"If my mother is listening, mother, I should have listened to you: Always chew your pretzels before you swallow," Bush said jokingly.

Bush lost consciousness for a brief time in the White House on Sunday evening while eating a pretzel and watching a professional football game on television. He fell from his couch and has a scrape and large bruise on his left cheekbone, plus a bruise on his lower lip, to show for his troubles. His glasses cut the side of his face."
