This was Yahoo! and compiled by a guy in the United Kingdom:

While large corners of the world are busy celebrating Obama's presidential victory there will be some people feeling slightly deflated to see George Bush step down as US president.

Over the past eight years Bush has provided us with endless amusement as a result of his faux pas or ‘Bushisms' as they've been dubbed. Here are twenty of our favourites.

LMAO! Last night on David Letterman he said he was sad that pretty soon his "greatest speaches in presidential history" was about to end. Those are soooo funny! I know you are not crazy about the new guy but I love when Letterman said, hey do you think Obama can start a little early. LOL!
