Outside the bubble

George Herbert Walker Bush (the elder/41/Bab's guy) appeared stunned in response to this comment from the audience at a speech he gave in UAE: "We do not respect your son. We do not respect what he's doing all over the world,"

A college student told Bush his belief that U.S. wars were aimed at opening markets for American companies and said globalization was contrived for America's benefit at the expense of the rest of the world. Bush was having none of it.

"I think that's weird and it's nuts," Bush said. "To suggest that everything we do is because we're hungry for money, I think that's crazy. I think you need to go back to school."

Apparently a disconnect from reality runs in the family.
