Question

Did George Bush really use the word "strategery" or did Will Ferrell say it first?

Answer 1

idk but I love Will Ferrell's impersonation of him LOL!

Answer 2

The word "strategery" (pronounced [stɹəˡti:dʒə.ɹi], struh-TEEJ-er-ee) came into being when it was used in a Saturday Night Live sketch, written by James Downey, airing October 7, 2000, which satirized the performances of George W. Bush and Al Gore, two candidates for President of the United States, during the first presidential debate for election year 2000.[1] Comedian Will Ferrell played Bush and used the word "strategery" (a mock-Bushism playing on the words "strategy" and "strategic"),

Answer 3

Everyone over 40 has had a boss who said stragedy at one time or another, some because they were dopes others because they were using an intentional malapropism, the idea of a plan that has unconcealed/obvious pitfalls.  Some pick it up thinking its a great word, I seem to remember Regan using it too.
