yes, he made a comment to a reporter who turned out to have a disability which affected his eye sight, and required him to wear sunglasses. Bush later apologized to the man, and they both joked about it.
But I still think he's an a$$.

Yes he did. He made a comment about the reporter asking questions while wearing his sunglasses. Bush wasn't nasty about it but did make a few comments on how it was rude and he thought the guy was just being cool. Bush later found out that the reporter was actually blind. Bush later apologized to the reporter.

This is OLD! The man in question was a blind reporter, the President made a comment to him, and apologized when he found out the man was blind. The media tried to make a big deal of it, but it didn't work. You are a day late and a dollar short!

i don't think of it changed into actual, and that i don't think of it changed into humorous both. the very incontrovertible certainty that it changed into dedicated by using a reporter casts a adverse gentle on the occupation, it truly is also some thing I be apologetic about, even however the reporter changed into Iraqi. however, if you happen to believe that all and sundry the Iraqi human beings will be forever grateful to Bush, this may function a efficient hint. even as Iraqis might want to be satisfied to be rid of Saddam, many view the human beings as a overseas occupying military, no longer as liberators. you imagine Bush is unpopular right here? he's despised there. and that i concern that the repercussions of this unwell-theory-out invasion will be round for hundreds of years to come back. The Iraqis fairly comprehend a thanks to carry a grudge.

Yes, he did. He was un-aware that the reporter had a degenerative eye disease that made his eyes very sensitive to light. He issued an apology later that day.

yes.., he thought the man was being rude as he didn't remove his sunnies when he asked the president a question, it so happened the man was actually blind and President Bush apologised to him later.

Even if it is old news, it reflects the level of respect a commander-in-chief has for other people. Bush is pathetic.
