Of course China misses Bush, That bass turd was trying to give all of the American jobs to them. Obama will probably try and pull some of them back.

Bush a 'bumbling Texan' due to media nerves: Downer ABC - January 20, 2009, 2:09 pm Former foreign minister Alexander Downer says outgoing US President George W Bush had the image of a "bumbling Texan" because he was a nervous media performer who "never improved". Speaking to Triple J's Hack program on Mr Bush's last day in office, Mr Downer says during his personal dealings with Mr Bush he found him to be a confident, funny and charming man. But he believes Mr Bush was never entirely comfortable dealing with journalists during his eight years in office and as a result his public image suffered and he was misunderstood. "I think a big function of it is the way he appears in the media as a slightly nervous, unconfident and bumbling Texan," he said. Mr Downer says Mr Bush's performance in front of the cameras has been a major problem for the US government. "I don't think in the media he was ever good actually, I don't think he improved," he said. "I've not of course said that to his face but I've said it to a number of people in the administration." During his time as president, Mr Bush was a target of ridicule for his "Bushisms" in which he appeared to confuse words and mix up or forget parts of quotes. au.news.yahoo.com
