Am I the only one not "surprised" by Bush's food safety remarks? [View All]

He explained that the government is working on protecting our food supply. His exact words were:

"This is a large company, uh country, and...."

Surprised the heck out of me. He's usually not that spot on about everything. But he spoke truth. He is the CEO of corporate America, not the president of our country. The bulge had to correct him. But it was the corporations who bankrolled him, the corporations who rigged the vote for him, and the corporations who are his base--no wonder he sees himself as in charge of a large company instead of a country.

I was listening to the Laura Flanders show on AAR, and the clip was played during the news break. I emailed Laura about it and said, "Play it again, Laura!" Laura replied, "Ask and ye shall receive," and replayed the clip along with some well-chosen barbs about how he is protecting profits, not people.
