Everyone hates Bush. It's unbelievable. He is absolutely the worst President ever yet the GOP was willing to inflict Palin on us during this crisis. They were selling God/Guns/Gays while saying nothing about the economy and the financial meltdown. I suspect the Bushies were hoping things wouldn't go bust until AFTER he left. They missed it by about 6 months when they would try to blame everything on Obama. They will still try. Heck, they are already blaming everything on Obama even though he isn't even in office. I am glad to see us getting smart people back into government. It may be too late to stave off huge amounts of damage

Pretty funny huh... oh wait that wasn't funny, it's also a fraudulent representation, what's wrong with you? What the CNN 'News' guy failed to note was that Bush had just warmly greated all his guests as they arrived. In the CNN clip geode00 presented they were being given the opportunity to greet each other. -------------- Arriving in diplomatic convoys amid a heavy police presence, the leaders were greeted by Bush at the entrance and gathered ahead of being seated for a feast of fine food and wine at 7.20pm (1120 AEDT). The summit, billed as a first in a series, comes amid growing evidence that the worst international financial crisis in generations is taking a heavy toll on economies around the world. Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Mr Rudd were among the first to arrive. Bush welcomed each of them and posed for photographers but reserved his warmest greeting for Italian leader Silvio Berlusconi, an ally in the March 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq. The two men grasped each other in a warm embrace. Created in 1999, the Group of 20 (G20) countries accounts for 85 per cent of the world economy and about two-thirds of its population. Its members are the United States, Germany, Japan, France, Italy, Britain, Canada, the European Union, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey. Spain and the Netherlands have also been invited. The heads of the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the United Nations are also attending the summit. According to the White House, its chef aimed to tease leaders' tastebuds with a first course of fruitwood-smoked quail with a quince "gastrique" and a risotto of quinoa, a South American grain. A 2006 vintage of California's Damaris Reserve will be served as leaders discuss how to restore stability to the financial sector and prosperity to their increasingly struggling economies. They will then tuck into a main course consisting of thyme-roasted rack of lamb accompanied by a tomato, fennel and eggplant fondue bedecked with a wild Chanterelle mushroom sauce. There was a last-minute change in the guest list when Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, who had pushed to attend the summit, headed home from Washington after learning that his father had died. Standing in for Balkenende at the weekend will be his Finance Minister Wouter Bos, the White House said. news.ninemsn.com.au
