Um, being a chef for the White House is not "hired help" as if they are a housekeeper. It's probably a pretty amazing job to have.

He's talking about the White House chef, Cristeta Comerford, who is not only Filipino but the first female executive chef in White House history. Yeah, he sounds like a moron, and generally he is, but this clip isn't that bad.

His body language and energy just scream...get me outta here. Now that his triumphant final voyage to Europe is in the can, he can kick back and relax. As they say...Mission Accomplished!

I agree that of all the stupid things he could have said (and the field is enormous), this really isn't something for anyone to get too upset about. Many major chefs strive to work at the White House, and he's just referring to a Filipino with whom he interacts often. I would never say lay off Bush in 99 percent of situations, but here---who cares. He's dumb but not trying to be offensive.

He was only talking about his chef, what chef wouldn't want to work at the white house in the US. When I eat dinner I am wowed by our French chef and thus France. I am from Europe and don't care much for this president, but this is silly. He has a home next to mine in Maine and he isn't that bad.

Um all of you giving little g props for knowing and spending quality time with his chef are in dream land. I am sure the pin head said, "Shit, I'm meeting the President of the Philippines... I don't know nothing about that place..." and somebody said to him "Hey, isn't Bob, the Chef, a Filipino? He seems nice and cooks up your vittles real good." "Yeah, I like him, he does good work - I can rap about that with the chick from wherever."
And dear Caligula, Bush may be a lovely neighbor but he is a horrendous leader, surely the worst this country has ever had, and also guilty as sin for the murders of 100,000,000 of people so, he really IS THAT BAD.

NIC,
