Bush accidentally mocks blind reporter's 'shades'
bush: RAW STORY Published: Wednesday June 14, 2006
Exchange between United States President George W. Bush and journalist Peter Wallsten at White House Rose Garden, June 14, 2006:
###
PRESIDENT BUSH: Yeah, Peter. You're going to ask that question with those shades on?
PETER WALLSTEN: I can take them off --
BUSH: No, I'm interested in the shade look, seriously here.
WALLSTEN: All right. I'll keep it then.
BUSH: For the viewers there's no sun. (Scattered laughter.)
WALLSTEN: I guess it depends on your perspective.
BUSH: (Laughs, laughter.) Touche. (Laughter.)
Peter Wallsten is blind.
******************************
Obama:
Calls a female reporter "sweetie" and she takes offense to being called that.
Obama takes the blame, says he was wrong, calls her, and offers to do an interview w/ her if she wants to do one.
Jan. 2009 can not come fast enough.
