Bush is getting so bad. This interview with David Jackson is a perfect example. I cringed during parts of it. Jackson asked him why Bush was showing so much support for the incompetent Nouri al-Maliki.
Q: What makes you think he really will? Because there seems like some tension between him and you or him and the Secretary of State?
A: What?
Q: Well, he criticized your comments about the hanging (of Saddam Hussein), for example.
A: I have got a good working relationship with Prime Minister Maliki. What matters, though, David, is his primary audience is the Iraqi people. He was elected after 12 million people went to the polls. Most people want to live in peace. Most people want to have a chance to succeed in life. Most people want the riches of a country shared.
I can go one better.
A: We must work to make … health insurance more available. And there are … two new ideas that I'm going to talk about. One is changing the tax code, and I'm going to spend some time at the speech giving it, and would rather do it then, but just change the tax code."
Q: Well, give me a little bit.
A: Change the tax code, as well as … provide flexibility and work with states to help increase the individual health insurance market. So it will have two effects: when you increase the individual market, it helps the cost of insurance for individuals, and it makes insurance more available to individuals.
It's obvious Bush has no idea what he is talking about. He used to be able to fake it somewhat well.
