Tony Snow On President Bush: An Embarrassment,ı Impotent,ı Doesnıt
Seem To Mean What He Saysı
Fox Newsı Tony Snow is expected to be named White House Press
Secretary. Hereıs some of what heıs had to say about the President:
Bush has ³lost control of the federal budget and cannot resist
the temptation to stop raiding the public fisc. [3/17/06]
³George W. Bush and his colleagues have become not merely the
custodians of the largest government in the history of humankind, but
also exponents of its vigorous expansion. [3/17/06]
³President Bush distilled the essence of his presidency in this
yearıs State of the Union Address: brilliant foreign policy and
listless domestic policy. [2/3/06]
³George Bush has become something of an embarrassment. [11/11/05]
Bush ³has a habit of singing from the Political Correctness
hymnal. [10/7/05]
³No president has looked this impotent this long when it comes
to defending presidential powers and prerogatives. [9/30/05]
Bush ³has given the impression that [he] is more eager to please
than lead, and that political opponents can get their way if they
simply dig in their heels and behave like petulant trust-fund brats,
demanding money and favor now! [9/30/05]
³When it comes to federal spending, George W. Bush is the boy
who canıt say no. In each of his three years at the helm, the
president has warned Congress to restrain its spending appetites, but
so far nobody has pushed away from the table mainly because the
president doesnıt seem to mean what he says. [The Detroit News,
12/28/03]
³The president doesnıt seem to give a rip about spending
restraint. [The Detroit News, 12/28/03]
³Bush, for all his personal appeal, ultimately bolstered his
detractorsı claims that he didnıt have the drive and work ethic to
succeed. [11/16/00]
³Little in the character of demeanor of Al Gore or George Bush
makes us say to ourselves: Now, this man is truly special! Little in
our present peace and prosperity impels us to say: Give us a great
man! [8/25/00]
³George W. Bush, meanwhile, talks of a pillowy America, full of
niceness and goodwill. Bush has inherited his motherıs attractive
feistiness, but he also got his fatherıs syntax. At one point last
week, he stunned a friendly audience by barking out absurd and
inappropriate words, like a soul tortured with Touretteıs. [8/25/00]
³He recently tried to dazzle reporters by discussing the
vagaries of Congressional Budget Office economic forecasts, but his
recitation of numbers proved so bewildering that not even his aides
could produce a comprehensible translation. The English Language has
become a minefield for the man, whose malaprops make him the
political heir not of Ronald Reagan, but Norm Crosby. [8/25/00]
³On the policy side, he has become a classical dime-store
Democrat. He gladly will shovel money into programs that enjoy
undeserved prestige, such as Head Start. He seems to consider it
mean-spirited to shut down programs that rip-off taxpayers and
mislead supposed beneficiaries. [8/25/00]
