I’d vote for him again, too, no qualms. A man of character — so rare in politics. I love the way he just thinks for himself, regardless of the polls. So terribly refreshing. I even would take tangle-tongue any day over smooth and ‘great orator.’ THAT hides so many sins/ evils.
Bush once again demonstrates his ignorance of foreign affairs and foreigners in general.
Throwing shoes at somebody here in America would merely sound like the actions of a lunatic. But in the Middle East, throwing one’s shoes at a person is the deepest of personal insults. It goes well beyond the one fingered salute in our society.
By throwing his shoes at Bush he was not just insulting Bush, he was, by extension insutling all of America and everything we have done there for these people.
But failing to comprehend the ramifications of losing face in a part of the world where losing face is deadly is nothing new to Mr. Bush. Long ago when some American contrators were killed and their bodies hung up to be insulted in public display, this man did NOTHING to recup the insult to our national honor and the result was the series of kidnappings and murders of foreigners and service personnel.
I voted for Bush twice. But I would NEVER vote for this man or any one with the name of Bush ever again.
The main reason we lost in 2008 was due to this man and his continuing flawed and defective actions. He will be remembered as among the worst presidents in modern history.
