President Bush almost died!!

[ShaniaLookAlike]

President Bush (USA) almost died Sunday night!! He was watching a football game with his wife and got choked on a pretzel. He passed out for only a split second, but somehow they were able to get the pretzel out! :nervous:

Wouldn't that be awful . .our president dying from choking on a pretzel!! :rolleyes:
I'm very thankful he didn't die, especially since we are at war! :sad: We need him more than ever. :)

I must admit, I didn't care too much for Bush prior to September 11th, but I think he's doing a great job with the war.
Just as long as he stays away from the pretzels, he'll be just fine! :funny:

Well, that's how my mother explained it to me. I think the news is also reporting it as being a serious thing too, but the media likes to exaggerate everything! :rolleyes:

Yes, he's doing fine now. . . . whether it was serious or not.

My Grandmother choked on some food during Thanksgiving, and it's ALWAYS a serious thing!
Everybody was scared sh*tless!! :shocked:

They say he was fine due to a heimlich manuever chart that was left over from the Clinton Administration, it was under the desk.

Every 20 years, the subject of "Tecumseh's Curse" becomes the talk of presidential folklore. Popular legend has it that the curse was pronounced in 1836 when Tecumseh's brother, Tenskwatawa, the Prophet, was sitting for the painting shown. The divisive presidential election that year between Martin Van Buren and William Henry Harrison became a topic of conversation. Van Buren, a vice-president coming out of the shadow of Andrew Jackson, a popular two-term president, was being challenged by William Henry Harrison, the famous general of Tippecanoe and former Governor of Indiana Territory. The conventional wisdom in the room was that Harrison, as leader of the fledgling Whig Party, would have little chance against Van Buren, coming out of the shadow of a popular two-term president. Others disagreed, pointing to Harrison's popularity against the dour and colorless Van Buren. Tenskwatawa then spoke his famous prophecy:

"'Harrison will not win this year to be the Great Chief. But he may win next time. If he does...He will not finish his term. He will die in his office.'

'No president has ever died in office,' declared a visitor.

'But Harrison will die I tell you. And when he dies you will remember my brother Tecumseh's death. You think that I have lost my powers. I who caused the sun to darken and Red Men to give up firewater. But I tell you Harrison will die. And after him, every Great Chief chosen every 20 years thereafter will die. And when each one dies, let everyone remember the death of our people."

Thanks for the reminder, Marine. I grew up in Tippecanoe County Indiana and there is a town there called Battle Ground. That's where the forces of Harrison and Tecumseh fought back in the not'so early 1800's.
