I guess you can compare this to Al Gore claiming to have been instrumental in the proliferation of the internet except GWB didn't actually say anything other than salmon runs were up (didn't even say at record levels).
It'd take a pretty retarded person to give someone credit for salmon runs that occur after a salmon has been out to see for about 4 years. My guess is that a reporter found one in the crowd.
