Stomach bug hits Bush at G8 talks
Mr Bush was keen to keep to his schedule, aides said
US president George W Bush suffered a stomach upset on Friday and missed morning sessions at the G8 talks.
White House counsellor Dan Bartlett said Mr Bush woke up feeling “under the weather”. But he was rejoining other leaders, though still not feeling 100%.
Mr Bush met French President Nicolas Sarkozy in his hotel suite on Friday, and was keen to keep his schedule.
Last night, Mr Bush - a teetotaller - was seen sipping beer, but his advisers insisted it was non-alcoholic.
Doctors are not sure if it is “a stomach virus or something like that”, Mr Bartlett said.
“[I] guess he didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of his father in Asia,” his aide said.
In January 1992, the father of the current leader, vomited and collapsed during a state dinner at Japanese Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa’s residence.
The US leader is due to fly to Poland after the summit ends on Friday afternoon, and to Italy on Saturday.
He did take a walk with Putin!
Ha ve another brew Mr. President and if people don´t like it they can go screw themselves. What are they going to do hate you?
Can we update this thread with a “(Already back at work!)” amendment?
The President has been at the conference tabele since ca. 12.30 pm local time.
Prayers for the President’s health. I always pray that he gets a good night’s sleep.
That Russian salt can mess you up
Buckler is alcohol-free
Can I start the hangover rumor?
It concerns me that Bush is ill... let’s pray it’s just a stomach virus... there’s always the possibility that his food was poisoned... look what happned to that Russian spy... I don’t trust Putin and his people... we cannot afford to have Bush ill and incapable of running the Presidency... Cheney would step in, but what if something happens to him?
President Nancy Pelosi? ARGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I thought that was Barbara Bush that had her thyroid blow on her.
I was just thinking that. It will be all over the smut magazines next week. Prayers to my President. Get home!
Putin wasn’t sitting anywhere near his food was he? :/
Prayers with the President.
PUTIN! / Sorry couldn’t resist...
Putin was also my first thought when I first heard this early this morning. They had just met privately the day before, but then I heard Laura was sick as well so it is more likely food related.
Good morning, citizens. Your glorious leader here. Having diarrhea in Germany is the best news I’ve had all day.
He had to make a “run” for the border.
DId he throw up on anyone?
