Today at the gym, working out over lunch I was perusing the wall of TV screens in the weight room. In between sets, I noticed that CNN was covering Bush's visit with Putin that took place today. The lovely Jill Dougherty reported, rather surprised! that the President was, in her words "rather astute" in dealing with Putin. That Bush didn't go in and throw down the democracy mantle and say how Russia was slipping back into despotism and that instead, much to *everyone's* surprise, the President was intelligent, diplomatic, firm, yet without being too overbearing. The look of surprise and sheer disappointment on her face were just priceless. Just who IS *everyone*?? Bush, as usual, did not surprise me. I think he's a pretty damn smart individual and despite the best attempts of the left and the MSM to define Bush as a stupid redneck, he continues to run circles around them.
I am constantly mystified by the behavior of those in the MSM and the left. They continue to fail to comprehend that Bush is the same fella that knocked the ever popular Ann Richards out of the governor's mansion in Texas. They continue to forget that Bush is the same guy that knocked media darling and heir to the Clinton throne, Algore, out of the White House. The continue to forget that Bush has managed to pass huge tax cuts, against the will of the MSM and the left. And today, they have apparently managed to forget that the President rarely lives up to their expectations of him.
May he continue to confound them. At the very least, it's entertaining to watch.
