Reply #46: Bush " has shown that he has the capacity to work both overseas and here"

[madfloridian]

This is just not true. None of our Democrats should say it on TV. No, Bush has NOT shown that capability. Not at all.

I know Dean and Rosenberg like each other, and Rosenberg for a while gave kudos to Dean. But this is wrong.

SNIP.."GIBSON: OK, Simon, your turn.

The President, in a way, you sort of heard the Kerry mantra: he's making some attempts to reach out to the Canadians and Tony Blair's coming and he's going to make nice with him and so forth. But is he going to have the luxury of being able to kind of, compartmentalize all this trouble overseas and deal with domestic issues?

SIMON ROSENBERG, PRESIDENT, NEW DEMOCRAT NETWORK: I think he can do both. And I think he's — what's going to be important for him is really what he chooses to focus on. What the country needs now is a return to growth, greater fiscal integrity in our government; we need Iraq to be doing better than it is certainly today.

And I think what America's really crying out for is more affordable quality health care for more Americans. And that's the agenda that I think Democrats would be interested in working with the President on. And I think, certainly he has shown that he has the capacity to work both overseas and here at home.

GIBSON: OK. There you go.
Dylan, look at Simon, reaching out, giving the President credit. He has the capacity, he can do things. He's saying he's willing to work with the Republican side. So?...."

My opinion: There is a difference between a willingness to work with Bush and pandering.....Bush is totally unfeeling about domestic and foreign affairs..he is not capable of working with either. It is just wrong to give him that credit.
