"Well, I stated a fact. Bush is an idiot."

"There were 16 errors in the simultaneous interpretation of Bush's speech, including a missing section that was filled in later. "

The interpreter made mistakes. Simultaneous interpreting is not easy. But why call Bush an idiot? The mistakes were not his.

Can you find an American source for your opinions?

"The interpreter made mistakes. Simultaneous interpreting is not easy. But why call Bush an idiot? The mistakes were not his."

The interpreter made mistakes. The officials doing background checks on attending journalists made mistakes. The official announcing the name of the Chinese National Anthem made mistakes. Bush himself made a huge mistake by grabbing the Chinese President in the manner he did.

 

The entire visit was completely fumbled.

 

Can you find an American source for your opinions?"

 

My opinions are not dictated by others. As for citing the mistakes this administration made while hosting the Chinese President, what makes the difference where they come from? If the US administration didn't recognize the mistakes they were making, what makes you think other AMericans would pick up on it either?

Good point. The only idiots i know of are those like me who continue to send money and support those who do not represent me. I have to admit , the argument that , ya we are bad but the dems are worse is wearing thin. Bush is inarticulate and he has a pitiful media response team . I steam when he refuses to crush these dwarfs that attack him. He is no idiot . He and his team have done a remarkable job . It is easy to forget what kind of shape we were in after 911 . I think he is dead wrong on his immigration position , mainly because he has no idea how it impacts city and state services , not to mention the emerging middle class. However i am glad he is where he is.
