"What opposition? I only see support" W to Tom Brokaw

[robbedvoter]

Heard this on Air America. It was the answer to "how will you unite a divided country". W doesn't think it's divided at all (if you didn't take the oath, you simply don't exist). Fuzzy memories of the focus groups speech during the anti-war protests.

1. I saw bits and pieces and he was so clueless it was amazing. He

started bitching at Brokaw for asking about if he would change how he did anything in Iraq. Why change anything, it has worked out just perfectly, right? such a dumba$$!

[robbedvoter]

4. Poppy was perceived as clueless because he marvelled at a scanner in a sup

What would this make W?

[Blue Adept]

8. Scanner

That scanner thing killed me back then. A barcode scanner fascinated the President. A former VP and former CIA head. How disconnected from the real world can you get?

17. Brokaw had a whole list of errors, which B* backed out of, but Brokaw

should have asked If B* would have not changed the decision to go to war considering the deaths! Brokaw screwed up on this one BIG time, in my opinion. It's OK to discuss No WMD, "evil" Hussein, missing explosives problems, increases in Iraqi terrorism post war, etc. but for Brokaw to have excluded the most damning consequences of B* reckless decision to go to war, is reprehensible.

1,100+ troops
100,000 est. # of Iraqi civilian deaths

2. Reminds me of Reagan's "I don't recall"

in Bush*s case "hear no truth, see no truth".

[Guaranteed]

3. The man's going to "see the light" for the second time

tomorrow.

[kentuck]

5. This is a huge gaffe.....Kerry should run with it....

Where has he been if he thinks this country is united? He is more out of touch than we realized. why does he think they have to keep him hid from the public, especially any opposing viewpoints? Or was he not aware of that?

[Mz Pip]

6. Of course he only sees support

His handlers won't let anyone who disagrees with him anywhere near him.

Besides if it's so not divided, how does he explain the fact that he is not ahead 90 - 10?

I swear he gets lamer every day.

:dem:

[Borgnine]

7. His bubble is finally going to be popped tomorrow.

And no amount of handlers or religious delusions can hide Bush from the fact that he's a MISERABLE FAILURE.

[The Wielding Truth]

9. The Emperor has no Cloths!

He's so full of himself. I am really disappointed in the media. How can they not call him on this stuff? Bush will lose big time. It is happening as we speak. He is losing his imaginary support.

[deadparrot]

10. The man is frigging certifiable.

Sorry, but if you look at this country and NOT notice that we are completely and utterly polarized, then you're not in touch with reality. I don't care if you're a Republican or Democrat. Anyone who believes that this country is not divided...is not fit to work at a McDonald's, much less be the leader of the free world.

[Jessica]

11. Perfect denial...

This is what you get when you live in a perfect little controlled bubble - in which those around you hang on your every word and agree with your every statement. As we saw in the debates, Bush can't handle being questioned or confronted - because he is accustomed to audiences that are given questions to ask him such as, "Mr. President - may I salute you?" He thrives only in that environment ... for it's the only one he knows.

[maxsolomon]

12. that's jus' "politickin'"

he HAS to say its not divided - he's reachin out to democrats!

he was sayin the same shite on NPR this a.m.

GOD DAMN i want him gone.

[bloom]

13. Someone needs to send bush* to DU - to read up on himself

and find out about those divisions.

[giant_robot]

14. I'd love to be a fly on the wall

when the bubble bursts. Ahhh, schadenfreude!

[idiosyncratic]

18. I love that word: schadenfreude!

Nothing like it in the English language.

Perfect word for what is going to be happening tomorrow night and Wednesday.

[giant_robot]

19. I must admit

I'll be feeling more of the "freude" than the "schaden".

[fishwax]

15. he gets all his news from his lackeys

and everyone at all the rallies signs a loyalty oath to him.

it's no wonder that he's out of touch. few more days and he'll be out of a job, too. :bounce::D:bounce:

[Redleg]

16. Of course all Bush hears is support. He excludes all divergent opinions.

1. He doesn't read the papers.
2. He uses close advisers to filter info to him.
3. He allows only loyal Bush lovers into his rallies.
4. He punishes and/or censors advisors/cabinet secretaries who disagree with him.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. If I made everyone who talked to me sign a loyalty oath

I would only "see support", too.

[girl gone mad]

21. When is the full interview going to air? n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

22. What would anyone expect from Bubble Boy?

Furthermore, the chimp doesn't care! United is the last thing the chimp wants. As Pres. Clinton said, "They need a divided Country, we don't."

[high density]

23. The clips I saw pointed to a hilariously bad interview for *

I bet Brokaw is on the GOP shitlist now, though I guess that doesn't matter since he's leaving the anchor desk soon.

You just have to see the reaction shots of Brokaw when Bush* tried to answer some of these questions.

[ThoughtCriminal]

24. Everything's swell for the Potempkin Village Idiot

Drop by the "1st Amendment Zone" for a different view.

[Javaman]

25. * took the oath and doesn't exist.

What the world must look like through rose colored glasses...
