Ain't it though? Yeah, his compassion seems to come up short for American citizens.
Yep, like in WAY short. To listen to Bush you'd think he was running for Fox's job. Funny how all this hemispheric baggage of Bush's fell out AFTER he was elected. I guess I'm old fashioned to expect a president to put the interests of American Citizens first and foremost before that of any other nation.
That comment (sans the editorial remark about the smile...MAP, do you work for the NY Times?) is about the fact that Bush UNDERSTANDS the REASONS why we have a problem with illegal Mexican immigrants.
Of course, by using NYT tactics, you try to turn it into something other than what it was.
To claim that it was giving some sort of carte blanche to Mexicans to violate our laws, and our borders, is spin worthy of Carville.
Congratulate yourselves.
