Bush On Obama: What Do I Know, I’m Just The President
An interesting exchange between Chris Wallace and President Bush:
WALLACE: Do you think there’s a rush to judgment about Barack Obama. Do you think voters know enough about him?
BUSH: I certainly don’t know what he believes in. The only foreign policy thing I remember he said was he’s going to attack Pakistan and embrace Ahmadinejad. I think I commented that in a press conference when I was asked about that.
WALLACE: I hope not. But so you don’t think that we know enough about him or what he stands…
BUSH: It doesn’t seem like it to me, but this campaign is plenty of time for candidates to get defined. He is yet his party’s nominee.
WALLACE: So why do you think he’s gotten this far if people don’t know what he stands for?
BUSH: You’re the pundit. I’m just a simple president.
I actually think Obama has gotten this far because he’s a good-looking, likable guy while his opponents are a) a corrupt Clinton and b) the second coming of Joseph Stalin.
