Bush skips Taj Mahal visit: "I'll be the President!" [View All]

[Bluebear]

Non-inclusion of a trip to the Taj Mahal in his itinerary for his upcoming visit to India has left US President George W Bush disappointed but he says he would like to come back to see "one of the great magnificent sites of the world".

Expressing sincere regrets over not being able to visit the Taj, Bush said while he has not broken a promise to First Lady Laura Bush, he may have to come back to India, "hopefully on invitation" (note: read FREE) to visit the world famous monument.

"I am disappointed with that (not visiting Taj). People who have seen the Taj Mahal say that pictures don't do justice. It's one of the great magnificent sites of the world," the US President said in an interaction with two Indian journalists here.

In a lighter vein, Bush blamed the miss on the scheduler. "And look, if I were the scheduler, perhaps I would be doing things differently. But you want me doing one thing. I'll be the President, we've got the scheduler being the scheduler," he said.:crazy:
