Bush's own personal government!
Listening again today to a local radio talk show, I heard
the two most important words ever uttered by George W. Bush.
I believe it was a slip of the tongue, because he did
correct his slip later on in his monologue.
During the show, a sound bite was played wherein Bush was
explaining, sorta, why the 'sale' of the Ports was ok and
risk free.
On the show, a liberal talk show, the confused sentences by
Bush and the horror of the very thought of selling any of our
ports to the UAE took center stage. The reasons for the horror
was explained and they were still explaining when I had to
turn off my car radio.
After the sound bite was played, it was mentioned that the
publicity over the Port Sale ironically had taken over the
country's imagination, and media, and had driven the controversy
of South Dakota challenging the current abortion rulings by
the Supreme Court onto page 4 or 8 or 13.
Likewise, the controversy about the volatile Port Sale overshadowed
the two most revealing words in the Bush sound bite about the sale.
If you have access to that sound bite, listen to it very carefully
and you will actually hear George Bush tell America that his
government had already explored the security issue and they
determined it was ok.
HIS government!
The acutal words were "my government."
Not 'our' government, not 'your' government, but HIS government.
And it was stated, all things considered, as if his government
was his personal possession and it had nothing to do with Congress
or the people of the United States! This was a deal between
Bush and the UAE. And it was risk free because Bush had had
his goverment look it over and the sale would not have proceeded
had their been any security risks.
Those two words tell you how Bush perceives his position in
this country and in this world. "..my government.."
Listen to the tone, the inflections of the whole sentence and
you will understand the driving force behind every decision,
every deal, every tantrum, every blurb that George Bush utters.
Shades of Imelda Marcos and her view of 'the little people!'
