Bush in Ireland
Bush gave an extremely entertaining interview by RTE. Here is the official transcript which should give you the flavor. But you have to listen to it in order to fully appreciate how hilarious it actually was.
COLEMAN: Why is it that others don’t understand what you’re about?
THE PRESIDENT: I don’t know. History will judge what I’m about. But I’m the kind of person, I don’t really try to chase popular polls, or popularity polls. My job is to do my job and make the decisions that I think are important for our country and for the world. And I argue strongly that the world is better off because of the decisions I have made along with others. America is not in this alone. One of our greatest allies in the world is your neighbor, Great Britain. Tony Blair has been a strong advocate for not only battling terrorists, but promoting freedom, for which I am grateful. Let me say one other thing about America that your viewers must know is that not only are we working hard to promote security and peace, we’re also working to eradicate famine and disease. There is no more generous country on the face of the earth than the United States of America, when it comes to fighting HIV/AIDS. As a matter of fact, it was my initiative?
COLEMAN: Indeed, that’s understood?
THE PRESIDENT:my initiative, that asked Congress to spend $15 billion over five years to battle this pandemic. And we’re following through on it. And no other country in the world feeds more of the hungry than the United States. We’re a compassionate nation.
