  • You know er ....er ..... oh sorry i just cant remember the question LOL

  • I think this is the edited version , i remember it being much much worse .

    thanks for the upload

  • what an awful president.

  • You liberals can go to hell. Look at the asshole in office YOU voted in.

  • Yeah, Bush is an easy target when you're sitting on your sofa at home watching the news - but c'mon, you've got to admit that's a damn rough question for a live press conference!

  • @nirdjha2000 Not at all. That's just the kind of question that lends itself to a BS student president election answer -- my biggest mistake was working too hard to protect the American people! Any politician should be able to answer that kind of thing with a diversion that reinforces their core message in some way.

  • The POS was never intelligent enough to be PREZ, the SOB damn near destroyed America with his bull shit wars, lies and corruption. The really sad part is that a lot of people think the POS was a great prez.

  • I think it's hard to not have a little sympathy for the man. It's become pretty clear now that the people around him did not exactly give him the best advice. George Bush placed too much faith in the wrong people and perhaps encouraged an environment where bad news was discouraged. Colin Powell was probably the only person i his cabinet willing to speak bluntly. I despised the man during his presidency but in retrospect he seems like a person who had good intentions but who maybe was overwhelmed

  • lol I saw this in the W movie. I cant believe it actually happened like this. Wow. He really didnt give a shit lmao.

  • Yup...he made mistakes. At least he had a pair of balls. Now we're stuck with a socialist who surrounds himself with people like cass sunstein.

  • "Under the spot"?  It's "on the spot". Good god man, you can't even get that part right?

  • whos ehre ebcause they got high and watched the movie w and saw this speech and thought theres no way that would happen

    then ate a whole pizza and said fuck i cant find this shit out on youtube then typed in a bunch of shit and it ended up taking me or you or whatever i said i was talking about to this vid witch means it was real

    make us think bush really was lieing about the wmd's and stuff like that yah know?

  • Honestly? Considering all the grief his critics gave him about this moment--to say nothing about Josh Brolin's delivery of it...Bush's reaction doesn't really seem all that bad.

  • ACTUALLY START AT 0:47

  • DONT YOU GUYS SEE THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN EDITED?!?!?!

    WATCH AROUND 0:51

    IT OBVIOUSLY CUTS TO A DIFFERENT PART! COMONNNN MANNNN

  • Comment removed

  • That would be a tough question for anybody to answer

  • I think he was bad, but sometimes, I think he knows he screwed up- and I can't help but pity him...at that moment, it almost seems as if it dawned of him what he had done... but maybe not- maybe I just want to see him as a human being (one who screwed up his country, albeit.

  • what a stujpid tard, retard, retarded tard... my mouse has better memory then him...

  • poor cons America will never forget this idiot

  • They tried to pull it off again with Palin. The Cons have no shame

  • Based on what you just said, he didn't lie....it was poor intelligence. And if Bush lied about WMD's than so did Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Colin Powell, 90% of congress, Ton Blair and about a thousand other people.If he If he had nothing to hide than he would have shown them everything which he didnt which was a violation of the first gulf war cease fire agreement and there are 17 such violations on record. We had the legal right to remove him on the 1st violation.

  • @dtlotrl Thank You, at least you have enough since to realize we were at a cease fire with Iraq. Everybody forgets this. Saddam refused to give in because he thought we would just bomb them and that would have been it. 1st Bush bombed, Clinton bombed, Germans gave intelligence from a Iraqi chemical engineer and informed Brits. That is what brought us to war with Iraq. Anyone that has issues with that look up Curve ball Iraqi engineer. I'm sure it's declassified.

  • if you want to know why folks follow this man just listen to the lyrics to bob dylans closing song in the movie W. it sums it all up...with god in his side.....you ask no questions with God on Your SIde.

    I believe George truly believed GOD was guiding him, whispering in his ear....well, if you believe in God Then Satan cant be far behind whispering even louder. but this aint no garden of Eden Georgy Boy.....its reality and you put your foot down in it and then right into your mouth.

  • Only in America could this philistine, who possesses a double digit IQ, be twice incumbent...you fucking idiots! How on earth can you mitigate the evidence that has time and time again, displayed this man as an utter moron?

  • astounding! i think the clip is even worse and more embarrasing than it already is. it seems to be cut short around 0:52, no? how can anybody still believe this guy was fit to run a world superpower. bumbling moron.

  • obama may have gone out and said that he had made mistakes, written them out and told the world, but he wasnt put on the spot. he would have reacted the same way. he probably would have reacted the same way he did about the pirates, dodge the question "we're talking about housing right now" or some crap. the funny thing is that if he had this reaction, most of the public wouldnt care and if anyone posted the same stuff thats been posted on here, they would get emails saying "racist" every day

  • Seeing motherfuckers defend that piece of human garbage Bush reminds me of why I hate right wingers.

  • maybe you can be on the next plane that gets bomded dickhead. Go suck Oberman's dick

  • @dallasroberts99 You are a retarded fuck!!!! After the Ft. Hood attacks Bush was there in 6 hours asking where the hospital was. The White House called and asked him to leave for security. Obama was on vacation and remained on vacation. He came 5 days later and did a photo op in Gym and didn't visit any of the injured. As dumb as people think he was post 9/11 is the safest we were and now Obama is even worse. I served in Iraq and Afghanistan and do not regret it for a second. Fuck Obama!!!!!!

  • Can you imagine George in a job interview?

    So tell me about a time when you accomplished something great?

    Well, umm... I don't know. I mean, I'm just... kind of on the spot here, and um... Well, I don't know.... it's kind of a tough question...Ya see...I'm sure there's got to be something...

  • how's that Mass. election working out?  LOL

  • He traded Sammy Sosa!? What a socialist moron.

  • A lot of introspection going on there. What a f'ing socialist Bush was.

  • Oh man, he's even dumber and more arrogant than I remember. This also illustrates just how spot-on Will Ferrell's impersonation of Bush is.

  • wt a retard!

  • Socialism does not work for the greedy 'powers that be' so of course they let you know that and if you are dumb or greedy too you'll go along with it. Hitler was a fascist and an imperialist. I'm confident people with socialist ideas do not harbour similar tendencies.

  • Scott McClelland's book, "What Happened?" actually mentioned this specific question, and the mindset McClelland was in as he watched his president stumble and fumble his way through it was grim, at best.

  • Part 1:6

    "Hmm. I wish you'd given me this written question ahead of time so I could plan for it."

    This does not seem to me to be the most difficult question to answer. A president and commander-in-chief must constantly be made aware of mistakes people perceive him to have made. To stand there and simply offer feebly "I can't think of any" is incredibly lame and disingenuous to say the least, and more likely dishonest and manipulative.

  • Part 6:6

    And that situation is fine when he's around family and friends. But when you have the president of the most powerful nation on earth who finds it a challenge to construct a meaningful sentence that communicates an idea of any real value, then that is deeply troubling. If Bush comes across as a bit backward, simple and uneducated to the citizens of the USA, then how on earth must he come across to the nations upon whom the "roap map" to peace depends?

  • Part 5:6

    "Maybe I'm not quick as quick on my feet as I should be..."

    He means he is not good thinking on his feet. We know he's not the quickest. But his mouth certainly seems to be quicker than his mind, that's for sure!

    Maybe this verbal quality of Bush has been tolerated because it's kinda like the crazy uncle that can't talk straight because he's had too much to drink - you're not quite sure what he means, but it doesn't really matter because he means well.

  • Part 4:6

    "...I don't want to sound like I made no mistakes. I'm confident I have..."

    He is "confident he has? What an odd word choice. "sure", "positive", "certain" and "know" spring to mind. But the word "confident" is interesting because Bush is trying, while handling a difficult question, to still project the image of a confident commander-in-chief.

    "You put me under the spot here..."

    Does he mean he's been put on the spot, or put under the spotlight? More mixed metaphors!

  • Part 3:6

    When Bush said "John, I'm sure historians will look back and say 'Gosh, he coulda done it better this way or that way'....ahh....", what did he mean by "it"? I think this quite strongly indicates that Bush held in his mind a definite subject relating to mistakes he know he has made, but did chose to not discuss them; rather he continued hiding them, as seems evident with his shifty behaviour (looking off into the distance, shaking his head, stalling, etc.)

  • Part 2:6

    Why would Bush have to plan for this question? It suggests that he would have liked for some other of his staff to prepare answers. Another alternative I can think of is that Bush knows he's not quick at thinking; in which case a more honest answer would be something to the effect of "That is an important question. I'm not good at thinking on my feet, so please give me a few minutes to think about the answer and I'll give it to you" and then honor that promise and deliver the answer.

  • LMAO, it's gonna get worst.

  • The Nazis thought the same about Hitler.

  • The only problem was that Hitler was a Socialist, like YOU!

  • Hitler was social-nacionalist you dumbass! he was a nazi, not socialist like soviets! noob

  • why is saying socialist negative?

  • Because everywhere Socialism has been tried, it has FAILED MISERABLY! Hitler was a Socialist! Need I say more?

  • sorry to say, but the US is not a success in domestic politics.. it's poverty rate and income equality only qualifies to comparison with Mali and other african nations. capitalism is not a solution!

  • I'll take my chances with Capitalism over Socialism anytime!

  • in addition to that, Hitler gained success because of his socialist thoughts were actually very successful. that his nationalist thoughts where horrible, has nothing to do with socialism

  • I'll take Reagan & Bush anyday. You can keep your beloved Hitler!

  • Godwin - you loose

  • He claimed to be a socialist but was nothing more than a nationalist extremist.

  • because its historically sensitive to American society as a result of the Red Scare

  • And nazis were right. Hitler was a great leader!

  • Who is the joke?

  • you're kidding right? the facts are in... what was the reason for us going to war with Iraq? How's the economy right now? the mess with the economy didn't start on January 20th, 2009... History has already judged...

  • The economy, stupid? I put the blame on Barney Frank & Chris Dodd! They FORCED the banks to make 'politically correct' loans to people that could NEVER payback those loans! People on section 8 shouldn't have gotten those big mortgages! How is that Bush's fault? Just be glad Bush kept your Liberal asses safe for 7 years after 9/11!

  • yes Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are the ONLY people who caused this BIG financial collapse, oh forgive me... you still haven't answered my other questions. By the way, my liberal ass is fighting for people like you so spare me. oh yeah... I'm not a liberal.

  • Duuuuh, hmmm, ahh, I don't know, let me ask Dick and I'll get back to you.

  • April "fool"

  • i cant believe he was a president of america........

  • @ChunYeung007

    Actually it makes perfect sense.

  • I've just come in from the IMDb W message boards... great to see the scene as it really happened, no emotional score, no manipulative camera angles and lighting... Bush looks like a human being here.

    Still, I loved the movie : )

  • This is great they have this on youtube.. this is something Bush has a problem with, he knows he has made mistakes, but he doesn't admit it. The way he thinks is, if you're acting on a hunch and you surround yourself with war profiteers, then impulsive behavior is your forte. His mistakes were acting on misinformation from his shady staff, and not questioning the situation, not coming up with the best options.. bush is gullible and isn't too swift when it comes to handling situations.

  • Also, I think Oliver Stone does give him credit for being charming-- in a weird, awkward way, although there is really no excuse for his lack of interest in thinking, or his inability to do so.

  • I did the same thing-- (found this after 'W') I think the interesting thing that Oliver Stone did was emphasize this moment after a lifetime of mistakes (including a god-awful war), in the film it seems like he is overwhelmed by mistakes-- he can't begin to articulate it. I don't think that specific part in the film is intended to make him look stupid-- if anything he comes off as more self-aware than the real guy.

  • R u kidding? this guy's nuts!, he gave a shit about the global enviromental problem during all his presidency, he invaded Irak with no real motives but oil domination,  killing innocent civilians including childrens no counting american soldiers, just to start with something, come on!!, you don't have to think that hard to come up with some mistakes!!!!

  • It's just a matter of time before President Obama is ridiculed as much as former President Bush. It's easy to criticize someone whose every action is viewed under a microscope. At least Obama has the ability to orate magnificently, so I do not think there will be much material from that aspect of his term(s) in office.

  • I like Obama's view of international affairs. Countries can work together to achieve the common goal of peace and justice. Every country has the right to govern itself in the way it sees fit. By being how you would want other countries to be, you set a fine example and show that we can work together and that we will not tolerate injustice. And yet still be strong in defense. We can protect justice and freedom and we can work together in this common cause. We can be civil and diplomatic.

  • americans are even more stupid for voting for him.... twice.. fool me once shame on you fool me can fool me again. hjajjaja

  • Bush was the clearest PUPPET on a string that America ever saw!

  • that's 4 real...really

  • U have 2 look in D mirror 2 appreciate genocide4oil, is fine wiith USA

  • sometimes i feel sorry for the guy... sometimes... i mean you gotta think at the end of the day all the shit that rolls into his head.,... how everyone hates him... im not talking a few ppl, im talking the entire planet... thats rough.

  • Americans are not going to hide in our fort and led the Indians circle. We ride out and gun them down. you have to snigger at the ignorance of some yanks, the quote above coming from swansandpussys reminds me of a place called the alamo where they did just that, maybe because the indians were mexicans and had real guns.grow up usa and embrace the planet.

  • Hm. I'm no Bush supporter, but...I would venture to guess that being the president, that going through all of that...I know how you feel, George. Did I damage my family's legacy? Was Iraq a mistake? Did I pick the wrong people? Was I too blind to really see where I was going with this? Tons of questions. Little time for answers. Even less time for the American people to have patience. You're a good man, George. You just weren't right for the Presidency.

  • I think he dealt with the question fairly well considering...it's ridiculous question for someone to have to pinpoint one particular mistake as the worst one they have made!

    What's the worst mistake you've made in your life?

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA...PRICELE­SS PRICELESS! hahahahahahaha. That was just as funny as the shoe throwing incident recently. Take 5 stars...in tribute to the worse president to run this country into the ground.

  • This says it all, if you ask me. Good god...

  • One Word--S.O.B.

  • I was so happy that the Iraqi journalist threw those shoes at him. Bush is such an embarrassment to our country.

  • Wow I can't believe he can't think of 5 mistakes off the top of his head. He has so many mistakes he could go on with that question for like 45 minutes. WORST PRESIDENT WE HAVE EVER HAD not even close.

  • to be honest I'd have trouble figuring out his biggest mistake too!

  • Worst President EVER

  • Despite all the things being said about President Bush. I think he doesn't get enough credits for what he did for Africa, and as an African I am appreciative of that. Don't get me wrong, he made a terrible mistake in going in Iraq , but Americans should give him more credits for he did in African with Pepfer, the MCC, and AGOA

  • He didn't have WMDs and there are plenty of other countries with human rights abuse with crappy leaders, why didn't he invade them?

  • The only way of making sure was invading. The risk of not knowing was too serious.

    And yes, I believe the United States should go around and kill all these crappy leaders and give the people of the entire world democracy and freedom.

    But we can only do it one or two nations at a time without overreaching ourselves.

    The most serious priorities have to be dealt with first.

  • Yes, I agree that killing as many terrorists and dictators is a better than negotiating the way democrats want to. But we must be careful. One reason the empire of Rome collapsed was due to overextended foreign military campaigns. Like you said, one or two nations is a good idea. But in the current financial situtation even that would be a mistake.

  • Perhaps so. Perhaps not.

    Fortune favours the bold.

    It's only hubris if we fail.

  • wow who made the united states world police??? Maybe we should worry about the murderers and violent crime going on and issues in our own country first. Protect our borders first..secure our airports, trains, buses first. Then we will be better off..not by starting war with people.

  • Yeeha! And when we're done, we ride off into the sunset to the cheering of the townsfolk.

    Interesting isn't into, how the theme of 'the frontier' permeates American culture. Out to kill the inherently inferior barbarians that surround us, we know that they are incapable of being civilized like us, so we have to do these things for them;

    Non-American's aren't really people after all; Americans are the only real humans. These European pussies and them Damned Commies are goin straigh to hell.

  • Any society that is undemocratic, where individual human rights and liberties are not respected, denied and trampled is by definition an uncivilised barbaric society and is inherently inferior.

    Negotiation does not work with tyrants, dictators, terrorists and fanatics.

  • There is a great saying, 'for evil to succeed, good men must do nothing'. While we all like to bash on America for being world police, the reality is the world would be a very dark place in their absence. Whilst they have often supported corrupt despots in the 3rd world, they also effectively stopped soviet/chinese communism from crushing democracy underfoot once and for all. You only need to look at Munich in '38 to see what the price is for not facing evil head on.

  • Looking back, I'm beginning to think that I should've been more supportive of this guy. I believe that he's made TONS of bad decisions throughout his presidency, but he IS our leader. As an american, maybe I should'nt have been so harsh when discussing President Bush, really. I believe the Iraq war was more for his own personal interests and it's put our military in a tough spot. That's been one of the areas I've criticized him on most. But he IS our leader for the time being. Oh yeah, GO OBAMA!

  • A tough spot?? You call the deaths of 100 000 people "A tough spot"??

    The people who voted for this man should hang their heads in shame, as should the people who didn't protest when he casually bought his way in to power. There is no way he should have even been in that position. Where is the democracy in the US? I seriously hope Obama makes some lasting changes and turn this place into a true democracy.

  • fkn he cant speak eheh i cant talk betaa and present betta ahaha

  • this was well acted out in oliver stones new movie, "W"

  • but in the movie he constantly looks at his staff 'for help'; not true

  • I disagree about Stone's film being well-acted in this moment. Brolin played W well, but at this final scene moment, he went too "Hollywood" and wasn't as egregiously condescending or evasive as the real George W. Death.

  • I never knew this was John Dickerson's question. What a guy!

  • I'd like to have seen this without the cut and all the way to the end. It cuts off. Why? Does he go to the next question? Does he walk away? Or does he say something meaningful. We can't tell because it wasn't complete.

  • Scott McClellan's book describes it. Bush then talks about knowing what he knows now, he'd still have gone to Afghanistan and thinks he did the right thing taking out Saddam. The answer is pretty much the total opposite of what Dickerson was asking him.

  • google the following:

    "i wish you would have given me this written question" with the quotes. the first hit will be the actual transcript from the press conference so you can see what else was said. nothing meaningful, trust me.

  • Evidence that W. is gonna be the movie of the year for me.

  • OK, I am offering 10 US dollars if the person comes forward that did his Yale homework.

  • ya i agree with Nicos...wanted to compare it to Brolin's performance in "W" to see how much they were exaggerating his performance...but I think Brolin actually looks more smooth than the real W

  • I just saw this scene in a preview of Oliver Stone's film "W", so I wanted to compare it to the original. The actor comes out looking less terrible. Condolleezza is too pretty as played by Thandie Newton too!

  • holy shit? I can't believe people even voted for this guy ............

  • An embarassment of riches, too many mistakes to choose from.

  • Maybe he just didn't know where to start?

  • I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

  • The biggest mistake is electing and reelecting this moron.

  • True and people still don't learn....they're going to vote for the second Bush Mr. McCain. Why people don't learn??? I don't know....it's a mistery.

  • There is a fascinating account of this press conference in Scott McClellans book "What Happened" . S SM is off camera squirming and tense wishing he could shout out an answer for Dumbya

  • I used to have a lot of confidence in my country to make good choices. However, after the last two presidential elections, I've lost faith in my country's ability to look after and take care of itself. George W. Bush has done nothing, but run this wonderful country into the ground. Now, I'm having to swollow my pride and my self-respect to work under HIS command, fight for something I don't believe in, just to make something of myself. THANKS REPUBLICAN ASSHOLES!!

  • a country gets the government it deserves! His stupidity is equalled only by the americans who voted him in not once, but twice. I hope that they don't do more of the same by voting republican this year.

  • I'd like to see all of you run for president. God forbid.

  • I'm not STUPID ENOUGH to run for President, thankyouverymuchindeed. :P

  • Maybe I would if I had millions of dollars and a fundraising network to back me up. Oh and it would probably help if my dad was a former president too.

  • FUCK! :O where did he get that flashing multi-coloured tie, lol.

  • he used to be a hard-core druggy.

  • "I don't want to sound like I've made no mistakes; I'm confident I have"... I just haven't...ah, heh..ya just put me under the spot here and..maybe I'm just not as quick on my feet as I should be in coming up with one"

    Yeah, George. Something like that.

  • According to abcnews dot com, this press conference will be the second to last scene in stone's new movie.

  • Bush and Dick will buy all the History Book Publishing Companies so they will manipulate what is taught to the gullible youth. There have been more coverups by these two clowns. Impeach Bush Now! And fire any senator and congressmen that won't Impeach.

  • and whats wrong with that ...

  • hes getting reddddddddddhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • The worst part of the chaos that is currently the state of Iraq is that the loon who started the whole mess doesn't even think he did anything wrong.

  • BUSH "I am sure something will pop in my head"

    DONT COUNT ON IT BUSH.

  • I think something popped in his head a long time ago. Like an aneurism.  Possibly a mini-stroke. That would explain a lot.

  • Well, hell, Reagan was in officer with Alzheimer's for HOW long? And the right wing still fellates HIM every chance they get!

    Conservatives WANT a mental defective in office; all the better for them to run off with all the money and not get caught!

  • Love this video.

    If you like this one, do a search for:

    "George Told A Dirty Lie"

    and watch a Chain Gang call Bush a liar.

  • As Bush mulled on, the rest of us were busy making a checklist in our heads..

  • I have rocks in my yard with more intelligence!

  • Get that Idiot out of office NOW....

  • were in the middle of a war, i think taking our leader right now would be stupid, and bush isnt that bad, i dont like him, hes OK. There has been worse presidents!!! like Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixson, and Johnson in 1964-1969!

  • What war? this war is making no sense now.. If he's not that bad of a president, i think you need to take a good look at your paycheck. He only looks after the rich. The middle class and poor are screwed. He's done nothing good for this country. Too much negativity going on now a days, nothing positive. Peoples' attitudes have changed, due to struggling to get by in life. But some people still thinks he's the best president ever.

  • "To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt

  • George Bush would be a STAR if he ever starred in the Monty Pythons. This entire administration is like a black Monty Python scetch. cheers mate, thanks for the war.

  • Trooperlfc-Too bad you don't have two skyscrapers full of people to knock down!

  • Ironicly this response was actually thought out and based on polls that said that voters would prefer for him to not admit any mistakes..

  • These 7 voted to kill Kucinich's bill on 11/6 to impeach Cheney, so they need to CHANGE their positions and fulfill their oath of office to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign AND domestic: Howard Berman (CA-28), Artur Davis (AL-07), William Delahunt (MA-10), Zoe Lofgren (CA-16), Jerrold Nadler (NY-08), Linda Sanchez (CA-39), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-20). Find them online and send emails, make phone calls; Put the pressure on for IMPEACHMENT!

  • fuck you Bush

  • i wonder if that person who asked that to bush stil lives and has not been baged and taged as a terorist??

  • So true!!

  • LOLOOOLOOL HAHAHAHAHAHA he's probably killed already and in his grave, poor guy, RIP :(

  • Why do you think he hasn't replied to this comment?

  • he doesn't use youtube or a computer

    he gets every1 else to do things like that
