President Bush claimed he only learned of the changes in passport rules regarding Canada and Mexico after reading an article in the newspaper.

read this .

first, I wasn't aware that the President read newspapers (which is scary enough as it is). But mostly,....

How the fuck does the President NOT know about this kind of policy change?????

What other things doesn't he know about?

Do you honestly think the CEOs of global corporations know all the smaller details of how they're run in the sub-divisions? I don't assume that. So I'm not surprised Bush didn't know.

Sure, but this has major implications regarding how other nations view the US and you'd think that Bush would care about international image...

Nevermind.

You'd rather he'd lied?

I was being funny, albeit in a dispairing fashion.

I don't think a CEO knows about every little thing, but this is a shift in policy that effects millions of people and is directly tied to Homeland Security, you'd think that Bush would have some inkling of what was going on.

I think if he were better at spontaeous speech making and talking he might have been able to pull of some kind of vague statement that implied he knew what the hell was being talked about.

If Bush even reads the comics, I'd be surprised. He doesn't habitually read newspaperes or magazines or watch television news; he has his aides do it and tell him what they think he should hear.

And he never knows what he's talking about.

You're talking about the Gentleman's C - My Pet Goat guy, right? The guy who had never left his country prior to being President and thought on being asked that Jean Poutine was Prime Minister of Canada, America's largest trading partner?

The fairest I can be is to suggest that he is poorly equipped and prepared for the task of speaking to the media, especially if he gets off his notes.

But then I think the guy is poorly equipped, by a lifetime of preparation, for the task of wiping his backside.
