New Delhi: US President George W Bush took some time out to meet the members of the US Summer Olympic and Paralympic teams at the White House.
The first family welcomed the athletes who represented the country at sports premiere event in Beijing a few months back and finished the medals tally at at the second spot with a total of 110 medals.
Among those present was star swimmer Michael Phelps who won a record eight gold medals at the games.
But Bush admitted to have been impressed by someone else.
"People say, did you ever get to meet Michael Phelps? I said I did. So that was the highlight? I said, not really; meeting his mother was more of a highlight. (Laughter.) She reminded me of my mother -- plainspoken and full of love. So, Michael, we congratulate you. We thank you for joining us today," Bush said.
