Arab World Tells Bush Daddy They Despise His Son

This comes via Daily Kos.

Daddy Bush (you know, the one who actually was elected President) just got a whole heap of reality thrown at him by an unlikely audience. The Abu Dhabi World Leadership Summit is one of the biggest, most prestigious Muslim gatherings there is, held in one of the few remaining bastions of pro-US sentiment in the Arab world. And yet even here, even in one of the last places Muslims are willing to view our government as benign, our unelected president is despised with a passion that is stunning...at least to Daddy Bush.

If Daddy Bush didn't see this coming, he is almost as much of a fool as his son. From the NY Daily News (the NYC paper that is good only in comparison with the Post):

President Bush's father was forced into an emotional defense of his son yesterday in the Persian Gulf when an Arab audience launched a blistering surprise attack on his first-born.

"We do honor Americans, and I believe that they are highly respected in our country. However, we do not respect your son, and we do not respect what you are doing all over the world," college student Nevine Al Rumeisi told the former President at a leadership conference in the United Arab Emirates.

Her comment was roundly cheered by the business and political leaders gathered in once pro-American Abu Dhabi.

The elder Bush just looked stunned.

With all due respect to Daddy Bush, we have him to blame for the crap this nation is suffering. His machinations put his unqualified and dumb-as-a-post son first in the governor's mansion in Texas, then, through underhanded means, in the White House. His erratic and extremist son failed to heed dire warnings of 9/11, leading to the deaths of thousands of Americans. His foolish and spoiled son has pissed on our Constitution just like he once pissed on a police car in his drunken days. His useless and inept son plunged this nation into a stupid, illegal war based on blatant lies and with no exit strategy.

And yet he is stunned when people tell him they don't appreciate what he has unleashed on the world? Sorry, Daddy Bush. Your son is probably the worst thing to happen to this nation since the Civil War and clearly I am not the only person to think so.
