Why not jump on his policies instead. They are much worse than any slip of the tongue he's done.
I just made this topic because while I was searching for presidential quotes, I came across these and laughed my butt off.
Considering his policies are as bad as his mispeaking, I can only assume these are freudian slips.

Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.

Observe: irony.
It is? Would you prefer I didn't leave out the implied parts:
"That is wonderful grammer, Mr. President"
Or I could remove the sarcasm:
"Learn proper English"

more irony...I'm not going to tell you why, eventually you'll google "grammer" and figure it out.

Seriously, that is the simple truth, most of our US presidents have had this same sentiment, whether or not they actually wanted it to occur. Being the president of a democracy is a hell of a lot harder than being the dictator of a dictatorship.
Let us take the Iraq war, since that's fresh on our minds. For the moment, ignore all the lovely tidbits spilling out of the yaps of bullshitters on both sides of the political divide. Visibly removing Saddam from power was a worthwhile and necessary goal. Preserving a non terrorist freindly government after Saddam's removal was also a highly worthwhile goal. A dictator could have achieved both goals simply by killing everyone who resisted (that goes for dissenters at home too), and extending his own rule. Bush had to settle for providing a reason that the American public would wake up and give a shit about before making a move. Which, of course, backfired in his face when Saddam managed to hide/get rid of the WMDs we knew he had and was testing ever since the war in Kuwait.
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Irony: Irony is a literary or rhetorical device, in which there is a gap or incongruity between what a speaker or a writer says, and what is generally understood.
Therefore, what I said was not ironic. Good day.
I have a whole calender of Bush quotes. My personal favorite is..
Bush took a visit to France in 2001 and a young french girl asked him "What is the White House like?"
Bush replied "Well, it's White."
