I think it was a cross between misunderstand and underestimate. Tell me that you have never made a speech mistake? You Bush haters really need to get a life!

Actually, the word he used was "misunderestimate." He used it in the sense of underestimate and mischaracterize, I think.
No, it's not a recognized word. Neither was "normalcy." (Also, "loan" is not a verb.)
But as words become used, they are accepted, like it or not.
Arguably, "bling" is not an "official" word, but lots of people use it.
Maybe this question should be in the language section.

Bush's mouth was presumably operating slightly faster than his mind here. Not a real word but presumably he meant "underestimate" or possibly "misunderstood".

I dont know. Bush has introduced new vocabulary words in the past.

Misunderestimations would mean - not under-estimated which would mean that it was exactly what was expected.
Not what I think he was trying to convey.
you know when every word you say is captured and scrutinized it would be impossible for anyone to go without some errors!

Let me guess, this word above might just mean to underestimate.

It's just part of his incentimentation to get the American public on his side. One can't argue with his fragmentality, now can you.

No. Not real. Much like the shallow and insensitive, giggly serial killer, intellectual light weight that says that and many other un real words.

1. not a real word
2. no idea what it means (in all likelihood, neither does he)
3. not the first time he's done this

No it's not a real word.
Bush likes to make things up as he goes along.
