George H.W, Bush's Comments on Broccoli (en.wikipedia.org)

"I do not like broccoli. And I haven't liked it since I was a little kid. And my mother made me eat it. Now I'm president of the United States. And I'm not gonna eat any more broccoli!"

H.W's comments on broccoli always amused me, though while looking up these comments online, I was pleasantly surprised to find an entire Wikipedia article dedicated to his comments on Broccoli alone. Many of the points mentioned were amusing in my opinion, so I thought I'd share the page with this community in case anybody else is interested in taking a gander!

Oh yeah, I remember hearing about that a while back! It's moments like those that make me grateful my job doesn't put me in the public spotlight. I couldn't imagine living that down...
