Oh jeez. I'm sure Essence was saying it wasn't widely reported - like a lot of LESS important things about Presidents all the time. I only know about the comment from a very small blurb in a newspaper and from internet news sources. As much news radio I listen to and tv news I watch, I never heard it there. No, his question doesn't mean it's the end of the world; it just shows how truly silly he is, and how very miniscule his qualifications are with foreign policy. I'm not qualified to be president and I KNOW there are Blacks in Brazil. And if I was President of the USA, I sure as heck wouldn't ask such a question to remove all doubt about my intelligence. It's just another reminder of how brain-dead he can sometimes be. And I really don't know why he asked the question to begin with. What did the answer have to do with anything? That's something I never found out about.

No. If my interpretation of the thread is accurate, the purpose was to point out how selective the media is with just how inept he is. This isn't the first time he's said something idiotic, or acted like a complete adolescent doofus when the media was around. The media is there to tell the world when every president goes to doctors for a lousy, innocuous, check-up. They'll bloody hell tell the world if he has a damn hemmorhoid. It's obvious they didn't want this idiotic exchange between Bush and President Cardioso of Brazil to potentially have legs because they didn't want to make him look like more of bumbling fool than he already is. With the current political climate America is in with Iraq and Afghanistan, they don't want him to come across that way. To anyone. Right on Supernova! I completely agree. It's interesting that I know that Clinton got a blow job in the Oval Office, massaged Monica's vagina with a cigar, and came on her dress...yet, potentially damaging in4mation on this GRADE A TEXAS RODEO CLOWN is not reported in the mass media. His brother handed him the presidency on a silver platter draped with Florida oranges and Mickey Mouse's ears...yet nothing was done 2 investigate what truly happened in Florida. 4 those who complain that the media is "LIBERALLY" controlled can shove their collective complaints up their elephant sized asses! I couldn't have said it better myself  | |

With the current political climate America is in with Iraq and Afghanistan, they don't want him to come across that way. To anyone. --- How many of you complaining about the media's subordinance to the White House actually work in a newsroom? OK... How many of you conspiracy theorists have relatives or good friends who work in a newsroom? OK... How many of you have seen a newsroom on TV? Oh, now I see some hands... Well, I actually work in a newsroom. 99% of the time, journalists (reporters and their editors) are far too interested in finding and reporting the truth to be bothered with enacting some sort of conspiracy. That 1% I'll reserve for the folks who do cut corners, cross lines and do ethically dubious stuff from time to time. They exist. But, back to my point: Given the lack of minorities in power in newsrooms, I can tell you, the Brazil/Bush story was probably not even considered NEWS in most publications. A minority issue -- particularly an issue that deals with the possibility of an insult to blacks in America -- would register pretty low on the "news judgment" radar of most editors (middle-aged, conservative-growing, male baby boomers). And, this late into the game, all of America (heck, the world) is pretty clear on the intellectual shortcomings of the Prez. That's not news. Secondly, given the pending threat of war and the anniversary of 9/11 (with all the emotion and fear that comprises), a lot of other stories are, frankly, more important. | |

Essence said: During Bush's trip to Brazil recently, he naively commented to Fernando Henrique Cardioso (President of Brazil) "Do you have blacks here too?".
The embarassing silence was only broken when Conddoleezza Rice informed George that Brazil had a higher black population of any country outside Africa. Spared the necessity of having to give Bush's dumb question an answer, Cardoso later described the US president as being 'still in training'. Interestingly the incident happened in full view of the press but was not reported in either the US or British media. It'd be laughable if it wasn't so sad. Does Dubya have any knowledge of the world outide the way things are done in Texas USA? This is a translation of the original German Der Spiegel Article published May 19 2002. Click here for the original article. BUSH'S GENERAL EDUCATION Do you have blacks in Brazil? It is said, that, before September 11, George W. Bush thought the Taliban were a Bavarian brass band. Now, thanks to his comprehensive knowledge, the most powerful man in the world has got into hot water again. AP Rice helped Bush from the leave in the lurch Washington - It was Condoleezza Rice, national security advisor, who helped her boss out of the embarassing situation. During a conversation between the two presidents, George W. Bush, 55, (USA) and Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 71, (Brazil), Bush bewildered his colleague with the question "Do you have blacks, too?" Rice, 47, noticing how astonished the Brazilian was, saved the day by telling Bush "Mr. President, Brazil probably has more blacks than the USA. Some say it's the Country with the most blacks outside Africa." Later, the Brazilian president Cardoso said: regarding Latin America, Bush was still in his "learning phase".

But, (just speculating) if the president is just a racist asshole, and thinks by the way that he believes, could it also be said that if he did know about the attacks in advance, that he could have let them happen so that it would make him, America, and his crusade against Islam look a bit better? And if, maybe for some God awful reason, the administration had something to do with the attacks, could this be why the ignorant things he says are not included in the press releases, so that the attention could go to the pro-America hype and not the administrations criminal wrongdoings in the finance scandal and the 9/11 scandal? Just a thought. | |

Oh, you mean like how widely his recent one month vacation was reported about in the midst of the "more important things" going on at the same time. AND how widely it was reported that he was drunk, I mean, uhhh, how he "choked on a pretzel" when more important things were going on? I see. "Bush has spent a whopping total of 250 days of his presidency at Camp David (123 days), Kennebunkport (12) and his Texas ranch (115). That means Bush has spent 42 percent of his term so far at one of his three leisure destinations. To date, the president has devoted far more time to golf (15 rounds) than to solo news conferences (six). The numbers also show that Bush, after holding three news conferences in his first four months, has had only three more in the last 15 months -- not counting the 37 Q&A sessions he has had with foreign leaders during his term."

I'd say that the reports on his one month vacation and a life-threatening experience are pretty important things to report on considering what we're going through right now. Besides, the pretzel was a one-day thing in the news, and fodder for late-night TV hosts. The one-month vacation is fairly important in light of the other stuff he has on his plate. (That one's for you "liberal-media" critics out there.) | |

Yeah, that "pretzel" was life-threatening.

Pedantry aside, the point was simply that the mainstream media perhaps didn't give this topic it's relative airtime/press.
Of course people should search out news for themselves and not buy what's fed to the mass but unless your reading Source magazine or German articles this news would of passed us all by. Surely this item is worthwhile in it's assistance in forming a character profile of the World's most powerful figure?

You may know he is an idiot..I may know..but ask the midwestern soccermom or the texan single white male and they swear Dubwa is the greatest President since Franklin... But, I am glad to report, Bush's approval ratings have dropped below 60%. This is even lower then Clinton's during the hight of the Lewinsky scandal..So more or more people are turning against the Bush agenda..But I highly doubt that its because they dont trust the man's intellect but more so a disagreement on his percieved handling of Iraq and the economy. | |

Actually, Aaron is right about Clinton's approval ratings when the Lewinsky nonsense got him into trouble. If I remember correctly the ratings were reflective of whether or not Clinton should be impeached for lying about an affair on the stand. To that end, most of the country answered: no. And his approval ratings skyrocketed when it was going on. But there is no doubt about JDodson's opinion; the media doesn't want a President coming across as a foolish bigot. At least not while in office. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

I correct myself...Clinton's approval ratings jumped to an all time high of 73%..which, beat Reagans all time high...
I stand corrected...I find this very intersting news...Bush Sr never dropped his approval during the Gulf War...yet Dubwa seems to be on a pretty consistent decline...I guess more and more people are 1) having lighting bolt momments and realizing what a putz Dubwa is... or 2) not taking these pollings very serious in which case this whole post is irrelevent... | |

I beg to differ with the person who said this wasn't newsworthy. If prez Bush is prejudicial towards the black community, it stands to reason that he is just as prejudicial towards the arabian community. That being the case, then any decisions he makes towards the "war on terrorism" could be due to his personal prejudices and not based upon sound judgements.
The people of the world have the right to know whether this campaign of Bush's is a sound campaign or whether it is a campaign designed with an ulterior motive, such as a hate campaign towards anyone that is not "white" american. Frankly I'm appalled. Perhaps those in the newsroom does not deem this as being news worthy, but I'm sure that the American people would think otherwise, and I know the African American population would also think otherwise. This is a newsworthy article. However, to garner support for his campaign over seas, it is one that is being kept quiet. Don't you just love the edit messages?
