Bush says he does not live in a bubble

http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=6311590&cKey=1134437713000

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush said on Monday that he does not live "in a bubble" and that he is well aware of what is going on outside the White House, rejecting critics' claims that he is out of touch with public opinion.

"I don't feel in a bubble," Bush said in an interview on "NBC Nightly News."

Bush said he gets "really good advice" from "very capable people" and that people from all walks of life provide information to him and his advisers.

"I feel very comfortable that I'm very aware of what's going on," Bush said.

2. Prove it, numbnuts.

Write a speech on your own - or better yet, speak off the cuff intelligently. Naw, you are in a bubble and it will get burst one of these days.

I don't know how he can feel comfortable about anything that's going on.

Nuts. :eyes:

5. Are these the same people

Edited on Mon Dec-12-05 09:21 PM by Spinzonner

who were so right about pre-9/11 and how things were with respect to WMD's in Iraq and how easy the war and the aftermath would be ?

Seems like the problem is that there's too many people in the bubble there with him.

6. "I don't feel in a bubble:...

...no, you don't. Hell, I don't see how he can breath or hear all that well in a bubble. Please tell me that's a typo, and this asshat didn't actually say that. "I don't feel in a bubble."

No, the quote is correct.

Of course, why should he feel in a bubble, he doesn't feel crap no matter where he is!

9. People in a Bubble Never Feel Like They're in One

Sorry, Mr. Bush. You *are* in a bubble. You are the most out of touch President I have ever seen.It's almost like you are on another *planet*, you are so out of touch.

12. WOW! I just listened to this.

He is either too crafty (or stupid) to admit he lives in a bubble. He loses either way.
