Bush on Gulf Coast Aftermath: "People in that part of the world..." WTF??
Has anyone noticed that every time Bush talks about people in the hurricane-ravaged areas of the Gulf Coast he refers to them as "the people in that part of the world?" Excuse me, but I thought we were living in the United States of America. What's with this "in that part of the world" crap?? Is this clear evidence that Bush's true goal is to globalize America?

:wtf:

1. The Bushreich plays these games of semantics all the time

It's calculated and apparently quite effective because too many Americans are too damn lazy to think.

5. A subtle (like a slap in the face) comparison to third world countries.
It's deliberate. Everything he says, if it's a repeated pattern, is deliberate. He is trying to distance those who can help from those who need help by creating the mental barrier that "they" are not part of "us."

He's a bastard.

8. Yes. He repeats things and uses those buzz words until you believe it.
B*sh, Cheney, Rice, Powell, Rumsfeld all did this to sell the WMDs to invade Iraq. Same buzzwords, all planned....to manipulate.


If you tell a child he is dumb enough times, he will soon believe it.

9. I know what he thinks of us on the San Andreas Fault -
and threatened by a breach of Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Levees. Don't even have to ask.
