Bush was asked about the deal and initially said it was a good idea and he would veto any congressional attempt to stop it.
Then, word was he didn't know much about the deal.
THEN, his fans insisted that him not knowing much about the deal was, in fact, a good thing. I suppose him not knowing much about something enough that he would veto a popular attempt to block it was an even better thing.
The president lost so much credibility in those 48 hours, it's almost unfathomable.
To me, that's 'flatfooted.'
Then, word was he didn't know much about the deal.
Well the mechanics of the DPWorld approval were Congressionally mandated to be secret.
OMG, a President that actually follows the law, how horrible, but what the hey, you take whatever the media says, hook, line, and sinker.
We rely too heavily on the msm. when it's anti bush, we poo-poo it, when it's for bush we praise it. The media was for it, we were against it, the media was against it, we wer for it. It's a double standard. I've made my decision based upon the facts. Overall it's a good deal, especially, since we'll have friendly relations with the UAE, have a military base, and potentially keep good relations with the arab nations. It's not like we've 'sold' our ports. No one said boo when the saudi's ran similar operations. Or china...
I guess I'm in the camp of building arab relations instead of the nuke 'em all crowd.
