Spewing Sand
One of the last times Bush saw Prodi was in 2004 at a G8 summit in Sea Island, Georgia, when the Italian was president of the European Commission, and Bush blew past him on his mountain bike as Prodi strolled on the beach.

SPEWING SAND

"I made some kind of noise, or something startled him out of his walking shoes, you know," Bush said. "My point is, there he was. He was a guy who I felt comfortable enough roaring by on a mountain bike, three Secret Service agents spewing up sand.".......

Although he is often portrayed as a bit of a bull in a china shop, White House spokesman Tony Snow credited Bush with "a chess player's ability to think several moves ahead" in his dealings with foreign leaders.
