Unfortunately, it didn’t work and then it happened.īush was in Japan to ask for help in shrinking America’s deficit, so as if asking for help wasn’t hard enough, he went and got sick on the leader of their country. Just before the embarrassing event, our 41st president passed out into the prime minister’s lap and had to be held up by his wife, Barbara, while she tried to cover his mouth. You could almost feel bad for laughing but we have to admit, Bush dealt with the embarrassing debacle as best as he could. There isn’t much worse than getting sick and vomiting, but doing it on camera…on the prime minister of Japan…well that takes it to a whole new level. vomits on the Japanese prime minister, on camera. And no one expected a man who would be remembered, as the video below illustrates, by his numerous gaffes in the public eye. As the only vice-president and president to hold office without being elected, no one was quite sure what to expect. In 1974, Gerald Ford was sworn in following Richard Nixon’s resignation after the Watergate scandal. The Award for Biggest Klutz goes to President Gerald Ford. Seymour was silently replaced four days later. The Polish papers translated into saying Carter wanted carnal knowledge of the Polish people. Seems nice, except for that Seymour translated it into something much more scandalous. One of the worst moments was when Carter said he wanted to learn about the desires of the Polish. Whoops.Ĭarter then said how he applauded the Polish constitution Seymour translated that as if Carter was ridiculing it. 29, 1977 and problems hit the fan right away as Seymour began by translating Carter’s happiness to be in Poland as saying he had abandoned America to come to live in Poland. Seymour was born in Russia and was proficient in four languages, however Polish was his fourth language. His translator, provided by the State Department, was 31-year-old Steven Seymour.
So, Carter planned a speech to try and befriend the people of Poland. On top of everything else was the fact that Carter’s chief advisor on foreign policy was Polish and they, along with the world, had both watched the riots that occurred in Poland in 1976.
There was a lot of importance placed on this trip since Poland was a country on the rails of the Soviet Union and was known for resisting foreign tyranny. In 1977, then-President Jimmy Carter visited Poland for his first trip abroad as leader of the United States. President Jimmy Carter wants to do what with Poland?! These are some of the funniest mistakes that presidents have made in our wonderful history. Everyone can make a mistake, but not everyone is being recorded and photographed when they do it.
