From Reuters News:
“I feel like I’m getting really good advice from very capable people, and that people from all walks of life have informed me and informed those who advise me. And I feel very comfortable that I’m very aware of what’s going on,” Bush said.
Yeah, well, but isn’t that sort of part of the problem? Just because you feel you and the country aren’t being led astray, that doesn’t make it so. Obviously, the President can’t keep track of every story in the news, can’t read every morning paper cover to cover. Obviously he needs summaries, advisors. But couldn’t he have chosen ones who were, oh, I don’t know — good at their jobs?
I am amused that Reuters put this in their “Oddly Enough” section. He’s not literally inside a bubble, you know. (With a water bottle and small gerbil wheel or anything like that.) Now that would be odd news. Maybe they’re suggesting it’s odd simply because the man clearly is living inside a protective bubble. How wacky that he would suggest otherwise!
