In President Bush’s Final Press Conference, His Sound Bites Are Tough To Digest
By Kenneth R. Bazinet
…
Despite downplaying the demands of the presidency, Bush said it’s almost all-consuming.

“There’s not a moment where you don’t think about being President,” he revealed. “Unless you’re riding mountain bikes as hard as you possibly can.”

He also mused about some of his post-presidential plans.

“I just can’t envision myself, you know, the big straw hat and a Hawaiian shirt sitting on some beach,” he said. “Particularly since I quit drinking.”

And asked to tick off some of his missteps, Bush poked fun at his own penchant for mangling the English language.

“Obviously, some of my rhetoric has been a mistake,” he said.

“Clearly putting a – “Mission accomplished” on a aircraft carrier was a mistake. It sent the wrong message,” he conceded.
…
And next Wednesday, on his first day out of office, he said, he will wake up at his Crawford, Tex., ranch, “and I suspect I’ll make Laura coffee and go get it for her.”
