.The gist of what Bush said is no different than what economists are saying around the globe. To state a fact is not an accusation., for pete's sakes!

This reflects an anger toward the West, and maybe Bush in particular, that is the leit-motif day in and day out. There isn't anything said that won't be seized on as an excuse to vent that anger I'm surprised we're not being blamed tor the earthquake in China or the disaster in Burma.

To be sure, GWB, as well as other members of the administration, (Condi Rice), have shown a real talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, in the wrong words. But this was a very, very mild case.
I doubt anyone on earth can foresee the reaction 100% of the itme, and I doubt the next president will escape the same kind of uproars for long.

It's been amply demonstrated just how remarkably talented he is in this area. I'm not convinced he's even reached his peak yet!
