And now, another Bushism of the Day...
Bush's Remarks Seen As a Jab at Chavez By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer
Sun Nov 6, 6:43 PM ET
BRASILIA, Brazil - In a clear jab at Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, President Bush called on Latin Americans on Sunday to boldly defend strong democratic institutions and reject any drift back to the days of authoritarian rule.
Eyeing three upcoming presidential elections in Latin America, Bush said citizens must choose "between two competing visions" for their future.
One, he said, pursues representative government, integration into the world community and freedom's transformative power for individuals.
"The other seeks to roll back the democratic progress of the past two decades by playing to fear, pitting neighbor against neighbor and blaming others for their own failures to provide for the people," he said.
Umm, hasn't 'playing to fear, pitting neighbor against neighbor and blaming others for their own failures, etc.' been standard Bush operating procedure the last few years?
This has been your Bushism of the day...
