"Embrace is like big hug right?"
Edited on Fri Feb-29-08 09:31 PM by nam78_two
More from the brilliant mind of our glorious president. The segment below is from today's press conference. I swear every time I think I have heard the stupidest thing he has ever said, he lowers the bar some more :eyes: (actually he has probably said even stupider things, that I can't remember right now).

QUESTION: And I'm wondering if you can give us a little bit of insight into your thinking about this, and just explain to the American people what is lost by talking with those with when we disagree.

BUSH: What's lost by embracing a tyrant who puts his people in prison because of their political beliefs? What's lost is it'll send the wrong message. It'll send a discouraging message to those who wonder whether America will continue to work for the freedom of prisoners. It'll give great status to those who have suppressed human rights and human dignity.

I'm not suggesting there's never a time to talk, but I'm suggesting now is not the time not to talk with Raul Castro (uh what?). He's nothing more than the extension of what his brother did, which was to ruin an island and imprison people because of their beliefs.

I have these wives of these dissidents come and see me.

BUSH: And their stories are just unbelievably sad. It just goes to show how, you know, how repressive the Castro brothers have been when you listen to the truth about what they say.

And the idea of embracing a leader who has done this without any attempt on his part to, you know, release prisoners and free their society would be counterproductive and send the wrong signal.

QUESTION: But no one's saying "embrace them." They're just saying talk.

BUSH: Well, talking to is embracing.

Excuse me. Let me use another, you know, another word. You're right. Embrace is like big hug, right? You're looking...

He is such a moron :banghead:. A frikking national embarassment......
I really am so looking forward to the end of this idiotic residency...
