    A special team was put in place to make sure Bush would be aware of how to address and act in front of the queen and yet still managed to disapoint them.

    I personally thought the same thing, not very serious and quite amusing however at the same time not surprising.

    CTV.ca | APEC? OPEC? Australia? Austria? Bush gets confused

    President Bush had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day at the Sydney Opera House.

    He'd only reached the third sentence of Friday's speech to business leaders, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, when he committed his first gaffe.

    "Thank you for being such a fine host for the OPEC summit," Bush said to Australian Prime Minister John Howard.

    Oops. That would be APEC, the annual meeting of leaders from 21 Pacific Rim nations, not OPEC, the cartel of 12 major oil producers.

    The president's next goof went uncorrected -- by him anyway. Talking about Howard's visit to Iraq last year to thank his country's soldiers serving there, Bush called them "Austrian troops."

    That one was fixed for him. Though tapes of the speech clearly show Bush saying "Austrian," the official text released by the White House switched it to "Australian."

    Then, speech done, Bush confidently headed out -- the wrong way.

    He strode away from the lectern on a path that would have sent him over a steep drop. Howard and others redirected the president to center stage, where there were steps leading down to the floor of the theater.
