So it wasn't going in to Iraq and and not finding WMD's. It wasn't Hurricane Katrina. It wasn't 9/11. It wasn't the Recession.

 

It was Kanye West.

 

"You say you told Laura at the time it [Kanye West's remarks] was the worst moment of your presidency?" Lauer asked Bush in a taped interview,

 

"Yes. My record was strong, I felt, when it came to race relations and giving people a chance. And -- it was a disgusting moment," Bush responded to Lauer in the interview, which NBC is holding to air in prime time Monday.

You remember what he said?" Lauer asked.

 

"Yes, I do. He called me a racist," Bush responded.

 

"Well, what he said: 'George Bush doesn't care about black people,' " Lauer corrected Bush.

 

"That's: 'He's a racist,' " Bush responded, adding: "And I didn't appreciate it then. I don't appreciate it now."

Only reason Obama goes down as the worst prez ever is because of the sad state of the fucking media the intelligence level of the average U.S. citizen. And I ain't even a fan of Obama.

 

The average citizen is a shitty citizen who has been well sedated into complacency and distraction.

Obama isn't the worst. Not even close. He's only the worst amongst Conservatives, racists, and people that never voted for him in the first place. The rest that believe he's the worst are stupid, ignorant people just like you said... the plan by the right-wing started as soon as he got elected - to wage an anti-Obama campaign in the media and on the internet non-stop, spreading lies and conspiracies about Obama, and letting it spread and seep in amongst the populace, so that stupid/ignorant people could latch on and really start to believe all the negativity they've heard.

 

Doesn't matter if what they spread is true or not. Say he's a Socialist. A racist that hates white people. Hates America. Is a Muslim. Born in Kenya. Caused the recession. Soft on terrorists. Using healthcare reform to kill old people. Indoctrinating children in speeches. Doesn't matter if it's true or not - the point is that it generates an atmosphere of vitriol that the ignorant can easily latch on to and start to believe that Obama is such a negative cancer on our country.

"i bet you think i just sit on here with all the others dudes who look like that dude and just post pictures of all these graffs. You probably are like ‘dude that spray beast shit is good for pics but i bet he’s just some skin tight pink leopard skin wearing panzy who hasn’t even sprayed the garages behind his mums house and doesnt even know how to do a spray paint dub. But don’t be fooled by the culty pictures and my nice logos!

 

I hope to get some more original content up here soon that isn’t as faggotty as just stealing pictures from everywhere and trying to claim rispekt from offa it.

 

on the other hand that would take effort, so you might as well just keep picturing me on my stickered up mac book finding horfee pieces and whimpering at the sight of just how urban fresh they are in my bedroom with the old skate posters and all sorts of retro things that i didn’t like or even know about until retro things became cool.

 

nice wan dick head."

Re: Bush says Kanye West's "doesn't care about black people" was worst time of his Preside

 

When assessing the lowest moments of George W. Bush's presidency, outside observers might have gone with, oh, Abu Ghraib, or that time when he realized he was going to have to bail out the US financial system, or when his approval rating dropped to 22 percent on his way out the door.

 

But in his new memoir, "Decision Points," George W. Bush himself writes that the "worst moment" of his presidency -- his "all-time low" -- was when Kanye West declared during a Hurricane Katrina celebrity telethon that "George Bush does not like black people."

 

Now West has responded to that verdict. On the one hand, he seems uncertain his line deserves the place in history that Bush has just given him. But he also sees where Bush is coming from.

 

The whole back-and-forth started when Bush's claim drew the attention of Matt Lauer, who sat down with Bush for an interview that will air the day before the book's November 9 debut. And that in turn led to the following exchange, as relayed by Ken Tucker on EW.com:

 

Lauer quotes from Bush's new book: "Five years later I can barely write those words without feeling disgust." Lauer adds, "You go on: 'I faced a lot of criticism as president. I didn't like hearing people claim that I lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all-time low.'

 

President Bush responds: "Yeah. I still feel that way as you read those words. I felt 'em when I heard 'em, felt 'em when I wrote 'em, and I felt 'em when I'm listening to 'em.

 

Lauer: "You say you told Laura at the time it was the worst moment of your presidency?"

 

Bush: "Yes. My record was strong, I felt, when it came to race relations and giving people a chance. And it was a disgusting moment."

 

Lauer: "I wonder if some people are going to read that, now that you've written it, and they might give you some heat for that. And the reason is this � "

 

Bush [interrupting]: "Don't care."

 

Lauer: "Well, here's the reason. You're not saying that the worst moment in your presidency was watching the misery in Louisiana. You're saying it was when someone insulted you because of that."

 

Bush: "No, and I also make it clear that the misery in Louisiana affected me deeply as well. There's a lot of tough moments in the book. And it was a disgusting moment, pure and simple."

 

For his part, West does not view his diss of then-president as the worst insult he's ever dealt, ranking it below his more gratuitous put down of Taylor Swift at last year's VMAs. During an appearance on Funkmaster Flex's show on New York's Hot 97 on Tuesday night, he said of the Swift incident, "It's an amazing, compelling situation. The situation is bigger to me than the Bush moment. It's bigger than a lot of things."

 

But in a separate interview today -- this one with Houston's 97.9 The Box -- West expressed a sympathetic view of Bush's reaction."Well I definitely can understand the way he feels to be accused of being a racist in any way. Because the same thing happened to me," West told host Devi Dev. "With both situations, it was strictly a lack of compassion that America saw. You know, with him not rushing, not taking the time to rush down to New Orleans. With me, it was the lack of compassion in cutting someone off in their moment. Nonetheless, I think we're all quick to pull a race card in America. And now I'm more open, and the poetic justice that I went through the same thing that he went through, and now I really more connect with him on a humanitarian level, because that next morning, when he felt that, I felt that same thing too."

 

Like Bush, West is coming out of self-imposed exile to mount a comeback effort, with his built around the release of his next album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," slated for release on November 22. "I do think I changed a lot" in the months since the Swift incident, he told Dev. "I do think I'm more compassionate, I'm more sensitive to people's emotions.

 

"I needed that time off ... Respect is something hard to earn and easy to lose, and I feel like I'm on that path to getting that all back right now." Bush, no doubt, would like to feel the same way, though it's not clear he sees it necessary to express the same kind of contrition.

 

Basically, I don't really care.
