Bush Welcomes the Queen
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II stands by as President Bush delivers a speech at the White House in Washington, Monday, May 7, 2007, during the official visit by the queen. In a slip of the tongue, President George W. Bush brought roars of laughter to a White House welcoming ceremony Monday for Queen Elizabeth II. The president stumbled on a line in his speech, saying that the queen had dined with 10 U.S. presidents and had helped the United States "celebrate its bicentennial in 17 ... ." Bush caught himself and corrected the date to 1976. He paused as if to see if the queen had taken offense.
