| South Korean President Lee Myung-bak laughs as President George W. Bush speaks of President Lee's nickname the "Bulldozer" during a joint press availability Saturday, April 19, 2008, at the Presidential retreat at Camp David, Md. During his remarks, President Bush said, "President Lee is the first Korean President to visit Camp David. And I don't know if the American citizens understand your nickname -- you're known as the "Bulldozer." He said to make sure that it was a bulldozer with a computer. And the reason why is this is a man who takes on big challenges and he doesn't let obstacles get in the way. I like his spirit, I like his candor, and I like his optimistic vision. But most of all I really appreciate his values." White House photo by Shealah Craighead |
