George Bush may soon regret his poor choice of words. Or, knowing George Bush, maybe not… His cheap shot (and fear-mongering tactics) directed at Barack Obama and the Democratic Party may very well come back to bite him in the ass. This man is so very short-sighted.
With great power comes great responsibility. What this man did while representing the United States of America was totally irresponsible. There can be consequences for words used carelessly or maliciously. There may well be fallout, with unintended consequences… Words matter.
Bush An “Appeaser,” Says Egyptian Press – CBS News
Egypt’s state-owned press opened fire Saturday on U.S. President George W. Bush as he arrived for talks with regional leaders at the conclusion of a five-day Mideast tour.
The newspapers, whose management are all appointed by the government, criticized Mr. Bush’s speech Thursday in front of the Israeli Knesset for being overly supportive of the Israelis and not mentioning the Palestinians’ plight.
“The Torah-inspired speech of Bush raised question marks over the credibility of the U.S. role in the Middle East,” wrote Mursi Atallah, the publisher of Al-Ahram, the flagship daily of the state-owned press. “Bush aims to do nothing but appeasing Israel.”
Mr. Bush’s tour, which included stops in Israel and Saudi Arabia, represents another effort to push Mideast peace talks forward as his time in office winds down.
In his speech marking the 60th anniversary of Israel’s founding, Mr. Bush reiterated the U.S.’s close ties to its regional ally, and dismissed the notion that the Jewish state should have to negotiate with its armed adversaries.
A front page editorial in Al-Gomhouria, another Egyptian state-owned daily, described Mr. Bush as “a failed president who delivers nothing but a lousy speech.”
Akhbar Al-Youm also on Saturday published a picture of Mr. Bush hugging Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and captioned it “lovers.”
The paper also ran a front page cartoon showing an Egyptian peasant consoling President Hosni Mubarak for having to meet with “this burdensome guy who will be leaving soon,” in reference to Mr. Bush.
