This exchange from the q-and-a session after President Bush’s speech today to restaurant industry officials in Chicago:

QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President.

Mr. President, Carol Dover, Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association.

First, I want to tell you thank you, how much we love your brother.

BUSH: I had nothing to do with it. Thank my mother.

QUESTION: Well, he has been very good to the restaurant industry.

BUSH: He has been eating a lot, I noticed.

QUESTION: You said that, not me.
