Who he?

I have no respect at all for President Bush and regard his entire presidency as a catastrophic failure.

However, every so often I read something which brings me up short and has me thinking, "Even Bush couldn't be that dumb and out of touch, could he?"

This is the perfect example:

”Jan Schakowsky told me about a recent visit she had made to the White House with a congressional delegation. On her way out, she said, President Bush noticed her ‘Obama’ button. ‘He jumped back, almost literally,’ she said. ‘And I knew what he was thinking. So I reassured him it was Obama, with a 'b.' And I explained who he was. The President said, 'Well, I don't know him.' So I just said, 'You will.' " (New Yorker, 5/31/2004)

Well, he sure knows him now. As the man who is going to undo all the damage which Bush has inflicted not just on the US, but on the entire planet.
