United States President George W Bush [Images] is not new to committing gaffes but it appears to have rubbed on his White House staffers, with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [Images] himself becoming a victim at the G8 summit.
 
A transcript issued by the White House Press Secretary office quoted Singh talking about the opportunity he had with Bush at their meeting -- on the sidelines of the G-8 summit � to review 'Hindu-American relations'.
 
"Mr President, it is a great opportunity for me to once again meet you and to review with you the state of Hindu-American relations" was the opening line in Singh's interaction with the press, after his 50-minute meeting with Bush.
 
The apparent transcribing error, where a wrong word was put in the mouth of Singh after mistaking Indo for 'Hindu', was later corrected by the Press Office and a new version of the transcript was released, putting on record what the Prime Minister had actually said.
