Poppy knows best!

"I would simply say this: First place, I'm not going to participate in the blame game, nor is Governor Chiles. What we're trying to do is help people."

George H.W. Bush, New York Times Page 1, 28 August 1992.
Spoken at news conference in response to criticism of the relief efforts in the aftermath of hurricane Andrew.
**********************************************
I can't believe they are using recycled talking points! They must be laughing themselves silly. Now I'm certain that they think we are all a bunch of idiots. Same song, just thirteen years later!

:banghead:



Peace.

1. Hey, I'm so cynical, I am just encouraged that they believe in recycling?

2. Maybe it's a generational Bushism
Every time a Bush screws up within the family, the auto-response is, "Don't play the blame game."

Imagine the conversation in a room full of Bushes.
"Don't play the blame game."
"Let's move on."
"We solve problems because we're problem solvers."
"Is our children coming in for dinner?"
