Bush loses his "backwash"

"I'm deeply concerned about America losing its soul,’’ President Bush said today, during a newspaper interview en route to delivering a speech about immigration reform in Georgia.

“Immigration has been the lifeblood of a lot of our country's history," Bush told Ron Hucheson, a Washington-based reporter for McClatchy Newspapers. The president said: "I am worried that a backlash to newcomers would cause our country to lose its great capacity to assimilate newcomers."

...

Suddenly sounding a bit like Democrat John Edwards, Bush said: “There is an element of our society that is worried about two Americas. My argument to them is: We've had this debate in our country for years.

“And yet our ability to welcome newcomers and the system's capacity to assimilate them has been one of the great powerful traditions of America,’’ Bush said. “It works, and it will work this time. People shouldn't fear our capacity to uphold our motto: E Pluribus Unum."

Freepers heads exploding as we speak... :nuke:

He doesnt care one whit about the immigrants. All he cares about are the corporations that can use them for their own smarmy purposes.:mad:

2. Bush: "People shouldn't fear our capacity to uphold our motto."

Maybe so, maybe not. Based on the experience of 6 years, I fear Bush's capacity to do anything right. As for the immigration bill, I would prefer to wait and have a Democratic Congress work one out with a Democratic President. Bush is desperate to slap together whatever he can get so that he can claim a legacy beyond a disastrous war.

4. * is a hoot.

He has such a damaged reputation from his past lies, that we progressives know we can't trust him. Now he tries to SOUND moderate, the freepers unload on him. Every which way he rolls, he toast.
What an incompetent "moran".:rofl:
