Reading about 2001 and a Bush comment

[Rex]

on Bartcop, this really makes you wonder;

Bush: "But all in all, it's been a fabulous year for Laura and me. We're so grateful to be living in this compound and I'm grateful to be working in this office. It's a joy to walk in here every morning, realizing that I'm the President of the greatest country on the face of the Earth."

2001 was a fabulous year for Bush? REALLY? Now what can I think of that would make Bush so happy? Also, COMPOUND...is that what he calls the White House?

Another well known quote;

Bush: "I told all four that there were going to be some times where we don't agree with each other. But that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."

Now I don't know about you, but I can see this last quote being used in a court of law against him.

So the year that the WTC was destroyed and 3000 people died on American soil, was a great year to Bush and he THINKS the job of POTUS would be a lot easier if he had dictatorial powers?

Sounds like incriminating words to me.

1. There were eight months of 2001 before 9/11

Even bumbling Bush couldn't have uttered something so crass in the final few months of 2001 following his, er, uh, the WTC incident.

3. I remember that "fabulous year" quote, and it still dumbfounds me.

Possibly the first most glaring example of how staggeringly stupifyingly oblivious the man is, and it passed unremarked by the press. Along with "I saw the first plane hit the tower" and "Saddam wouldn't let the inspectors in". Ho hum. the press just didn't find these comments even mildly interesting.
