Houston reporter Miya Shay managed to get her hands on the video above, which captures the President in a rare candid moment that was meant to be off-camera. During a political fundraiser for Congressional candidate Pete Olson in Houston last Friday, President Bush admits that the economy is clearly in the pits.
"There is no question about it. Wall Street got drunk," he says. "That's one reason I asked you to turn off your TV cameras."
"The question is, How long will it (take to) sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments?"
Bush later goes on to hint that the family might relocate to Dallas instead of Crawford after his term is up, which, as of this posting, is approximately 181 days, 14 hours, 36 minutes, and 57 seconds away. More or less.
The full, rambling transcript appears after the jump.
It is uncertain, there’s no question about it.Wall Street got drunk, it got drunk, (it’s one of the reasons I asked you to turn off your tv cameras.) It got drunk and now it’s got a hangover. The question is how long will it sober up, and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments.
And now we got a housing issue, not in Houston, and evidently, not in Dallas, because Laura was over there trying to buy a house today.
I like Crawford, unfortunately after eight years of asking her to sacrifice, I’m now no longer the decision maker. She’ll be deciding, thanks for the suggestion! I suggest you don’t yell it out when she’s here. Later, telling her “Hey honey, we’ve been on government pay now for 14 years... so go slow!"
It’s uh.. caused me to lose my train of thought. Anyway.

Indeed, "they" so desperately don't want you to see the video that it appears to have been taken down. Although I'm sure it'll pop back up in due time - such is the beauty of the internet.
That said, the transcript is plenty illuminating on its own...
What a surprise, they took it off. Hopefully this surfaces
The President seems to know something about drinking.
