Bush Bloopers in Australia - OPEC or APEC?

President George W. Bush makes light of his bloopers during an APEC address.

U.S President George W. Bush, renowned for his mispronunciation of words during his speeches, once again made audiences laugh during his address to the business summit of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) forum in Australia.

Within the first seconds of his speech, Bush referred to the gathering as the OPEC summit, the acronym for the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and then quickly rectified it to APEC, causing the gathering to erupt into laughter.

He later referred to Australia as Austria, but failed to pick up on it or rephrase the comment.

Throughout the rest of his speech he mispronounced several words, including Australia's capital Canberra, Kuala Lumpur and Jemaah Islamiyah.

And as if things weren't bad enough, when he had concluded his addresses, he made his way to the wrong exit, prompting Australian Prime Minister John Howard to make finger gestures at him, to show him the right way off the stage.

At 1:16 John Howard is probably thinking 'What a Moron...'

Calm down guys, he had just come back from smoking weed with Harold and Kumar.

Glad both those retard leaders are out of power!

Ok, in all honesty, as much of a fail as George Bush is, the OPEC APEC mistake he made he quickly corrected so I wouldnt consider it as bad.

people might say bush is an idiot, but he just acts more natural than any other world leader, that's why he makes so many mistakes, but really it doesn't matter
