The right is all in a happy frenzy over this from FOX:
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, just minutes before learning of the terrorist attacks on America, Democratic strategist James Carville was hoping for President Bush to fail, telling a group of Washington reporters: “I certainly hope he doesn’t succeed.”
Carville was joined by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, who seemed encouraged by a survey he had just completed that revealed public misgivings about the newly minted president.
“We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have about him, and I’m wanting them to turn against him,” Greenberg admitted.
Hmmm, well there is a difference between telling a focus group and telling a nation audience on public airwaves the same thing, but that isn’t what really caught my eye. Check out the next part of the article:
Minutes later, as news of the terrorist attacks reached the hotel conference room where the Democrats were having breakfast with the reporters, Carville announced: “Disregard everything we just said! This changes everything!”
So once a national disaster struck, instead of political pettiness, the Democrat puts country ahead of party and backs the president.
Aren’t we in a nation disaster now? What about the economy, which provoked the unprecedented act of a presidential candidate from a major party suspending his campaign to fly back to DC in order to try and help fix it? Republicans and Democrats have been calling the economy a disaster, but that doesn’t matter when it comes to bashing the President.
Wow Republicans, thanks for pointing this out and proving which party puts country first.
