A Buzzflash.com "News Analysis" searched the WhiteHouse.gov site for the word "sic" in transcriptions of the president's utterances (meaning the transcriptionist wanted to make it absolutely clear that what preceded the "sic" was what Bush had actually said and not the transcriptionist's error) and found the following:
They ask, what's the job like to be President. And the answer to that job [sic] is you make a lot of decisions. (8-7-06) You know it's so much easy [sic] just to shove these problems down the road. (8-11-06) You need to have you a governor in the great state of Mississippi who understands what it means to create an environment for job growth, who hurts when he hears people are [sic] working. (11-1-03) When we catch illegal immigrants from other country [sic] it is not as easy to send them home. (5-15-06) It was not always a given that the United States and America [sic] would have a close relationship. (7-29-06) I sent a supplemental up to the United States Congress recently to make sure our troops what they have they need [sic] to be able to do their jobs. (5-17-06) A 19-year-old [sic] veteran of the police force, Officer Cox was off- duty when he stepped up to help fellow officers in pursuit of a suspect. (5-15-06) I was not pleased that Hamas has refused to announce [sic] its desire to destroy Israel. (5-7-06) I'm pleased to report that it's got some good news for the American taxpayer. This economy is growing, federal taxes are rising [sic], and we're cutting the federal deficit faster than we expected. (8-11- 06) I was more than happy to sign its extension, and we've been very hard [sic] in implementing it. (4-10-06) I strongly believe what we're doing is the right thing. If I didn't believe it -- I'm going to repeat what I said before -- I'd pull the troops out, nor if I believed we could win [sic], I would pull the troops out. (4-6-06) In the 1980s, the United States helped Afghan freedom fighters drive the Soviet Red Army from Kabul, and once the Soviets withdrew, we decided our work was finished and left the Afghans to defend [sic] for themselves. Soon the terrorists moved in to fill the vacuum. (3- 29-06) [On this one, Buzzflash points out that the "freedom fighters"--including Osama bin Laden--*were* the terrorists.] The people of the city (Tal Afar, Iraq) still have many challenges to overcome, including old-age [sic] resentments that still create suspicion. (3-20-06) Manuel Guerra contacted [sic] polio as an infant. (4-23-02) [Buzzflash's comment: "Hi, polio, how's it going?"] Government should be an advocate of faith-based and community-based programs, not an impedent [sic] to faith-based programs. (4-1-05) My six years as governor of Texas have been invaluable to me as I carry out my duties as the presidency [sic]. (2-27-05) Saddam would still be in power if (John Kerry) were the President of the United States, and the world would be a lot better off.
