Bush impressed its listeners on many occasions with his unique rambling sentences and grammatically incorrect speeches. In presenting the award, the Plain English Campaign wrote: “Bush captures the spirit of every true gobbledegooker”. "I hope you leave here and walk out and say, 'What did he say?' said Bush in Rome in 2001. "I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe - I believe what I believe is right," Bush said. Do you know more about Bush gaffe-prone speeches? Do you think if he deserves the title?
