Can you imagine being such a solider of pop culture that your activism would warrant you making the pages of a book written by a President?
Wouldn't such an inclusion make your family proud? Wouldn't it be a bragging right to share with your grandchildren? Shouldn't it get you an automatic NAACP Image Award?
Maybe the above would be the case if the President actually had something good to say about you.
But when President George W. Bush mentions Kanye West in his forthcoming book, "Decision Points," he's not singing the praises of the Chicago rapper who slammed him on a telethon for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, a week after numerous gulf coast cities were destroyed by the devastating storm and its aftermath.
Bush expressed his frustration with the "Runaway" singer in an interview with the "Today Show"'s Matt Lauer to air Monday on NBC's "Matt Lauer Reports."
When Lauer asked Bush if he remembered the comments Kanye made about him, President Obama's predecessor offered a matter-of-fact response.
"Yes, I do. He called me a racist," Bush told Lauer.
Lauer clarified that Kanye did not literally call Bush a racist but instead said, "George Bush doesn't care about Black people." But Bush maintained his stance.
"That's - 'he's a racist,'" Bush said. "And I didn't appreciate it then. I don't appreciate it now. It's one thing to say, 'I don't appreciate the way he's handled his business.' It's another thing to say, 'This man's a racist.' I resent it, it's not true, and it was one of the most disgusting moments in my Presidency."
Lauer quoted an excerpt from the book on the matter:
"I faced a lot of criticism as President. I didn't like hearing people claim that I lied about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction or cut taxes to benefit the rich. But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all time low."
Bush said he still feels the same way and added that Kanye's comments upset him because it was not reflective of his work.
"My record was strong I felt when it came to race relations and giving people a chance. And--it was a disgusting moment," Bush said.
Lauer asked Bush if he was concerned that some might be upset that he has placed so much emphasis on being angry about someone criticizing his responsiveness to the hurricane victims as opposed to being saddened by the impact of "watching the misery in Louisiana."
Bush said no. "I also make it clear that the misery in Louisiana affected me deeply as well," he said. "There's a lot of tough moments in the book. And it was a disgusting moment, pure and simple."
If the saying is true that no publicity is bad publicity, getting this shout out from President Bush can only help the record sales of Kanye's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" album out in a few weeks.

He's not racist it's not that he didn't care about black people it's that he didn't care about poor people. But I digress that is the whole point about right wing doctrine who cares about other let them take care of themselves.
notice how he didn't remark on the other two issues :D

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That shit never gets old! Can't believe nobody hasn't stuck a bullet in that guys head. What a POS

;D

Kanye is an idiot and he showed that time and time again. Arrogant Prick is all Kanye is...
-
but the truth is...the Bush's DONT care about black people. :)

if your a republican you are either stupid annd believe the crap your saying or your evil, self-interested and manipulating stupid people. bush is the "stupid and believes his own crap" category, and i actually feel a bit sorry for him.
-
::)
I'm sure that a former two term President is going to be falling over himself in gratitude for earning the pity of "Tbombz" from the getbig.com message board.

Is that why you (liberal) lost the House and almost all local level positions to last nights election?

and democrats believe in taking money from working Americans, and giving it to poor black so they can stay home and have plenty of babies with no fathers.

bush is a freak and a mass murderer, and one of the most deceased people whoever lived.

Im pretty sure that deceased people don't live and that GW is still alive. I'm not sure if your trying to make fun of the people knocking Bush, or your just a moron.

Both Pres W Bush and Obama have more class in one testicle then Kanye does in his whole body.
He is a gimmick act like many before and needs hype and controversy to sell his stuff.
-
And now that the democrats are running the country everything is AWESOME!!!!!! ::)
-
kanya west should be thrown off a cliff
-
Kanye West is just rambling idiot in that Katrina incident, that was some awful shit, Mike Myers was clearly feeling awkward.
-
kanye west is an attention whoring baby,,...stomping his feet and trying to be provocative in soundbytes to get MORE attention, cause he is sick inside
he should have just been ignored, but our scumbag, dispicable, garbage media actually ran with it
-
but the truth is...the Bush's DONT care about black people. :)
It's true that don't have to be a bad thing. I don't care about black people either, but atleast I admit it. But whatever I've given up on this shit, fuck america I hope it fucking collaspes. Your inability to function politcally, has pissed me off :D
-
Kanye West is a gay fish.
-
people who get their perfectly healthy bottom row of teeth removed, and replaced with a row of diamonds
should be excluded from any serious or meaningful public discourse
im sorry, you cant have it both ways..........you cant be the fuck-face celebrity f@ggot..........and a serious social observer

Your so full of shit Tbomz. Democrats believe in killing babies and old people. If this new health care goes through they will decide who gets certain treatments and who doesn't. Its funny they will give murderers a "time out" and a chance to speak at the graduation ceremony of a prominent liberal arts college if they are black.
Democrats believe minorities are stupid and helpless why do you think they have all the government programs in place. They want to enslave blacks. They want them to depend on the government for everything. They don't do this because they care for blacks they just want their vote.
Most democrats believe in tough gun control. They want to disarm Americans. Tell me if somebody brakes into your house what is going to happen. If you call the police they don't make it untime to save you they are the clean up crew. You have the god given right to be able to defend yourself. First thing Hitler, Stalin, and all the other crazy dictators did was strip gun rights from their citizens.
Democrats are racists. They blame white people for everything. It's not even funny how much they have been using the race card as of late. It's sickening. If you are white male in this country they want you to be ashamed. You are considered a racist.
Democrats want to control your life. They want a more intrusive goverement. Look how Obama passed health car and the stimulus bill. He shoved it down are fing throats.
Tbomz you need to learn buddy. Democrats are the evil ones. Left uncontrolled they will turn into a communist goveremnt. They will have control of everything.

He wouldn't he's to much of a pussy. He did that because he's a huge coward and new she wouldn't do anything. I bet you George Bush could be his ass.

Hell, GHWB could probably smoke him.... ;D Can you imagine if that little turd had gone up there with say, Trace Adkins or Jamey Johnson? haha, they would have beaten him into a coma.

arent you a homosexual, who now claims that you no longer a homosexual
you used to describe male-male ass fucking as a "deep tissue massage"
seem a little confused
why dont you let people who are a little more sure of what they believe, and sure of their own identity to wax poetic on the finer points of party politics

Why people of this stature would even bring Kanye's name up is absurd to me.

Would have been great if he could have just said 'Never heard of him"....but you know that would have caused a bigger media circus.

Why do people who insist on calling others stupid always prove their own lack of intelligence by making the simplest of grammatical errors?

There a certain truth that most right wingers fail to realize the cost of their belief. Sure people can function as independant from gov support, but it means birth rates decline, higher rates of stress and depression, and much higher rates of work related injuries.

Are you saying Tdongz mind might be a little clouded from all the shots of mansauce he has taken.

Quite true, but the whole point of drunken Kanye going up there because Beyonce had a better video...according to many, and he disagreed.
But, I hate how Pink said, "I wish he'd done that to me..." epic takig a few boxing classes and thinking you are the shit...women always talk that "I wish he'd done that to me" bullshit.
That being said, Mr. emotional (due to being raised by a woman) has a good single out.
-
That makes two of us that don't care about Kanye West.

i think Beyonce handled the thing really well.....as did Swift.....Kanye forever tainted himself for showing what a true jackass he is. and he does have talent as a producer and writer....sadly.

Hmm. I have no idea if any systemic racism or personal bigotry played a role in the Katrina debacle. I'd argue that it was like the Gulf oil disaster -total structural unpreparedness. However, I'd say that if any flooding occurred in Kennebunkport, Maine, Bush would have been there within the hour directing recovery efforts himself. ;D
-
Kanye west is a jackass, he made some good music tho. Not feeling most of his new stuff tho. That's all i care about. He is an artist, not a politician or a smart person, and i dont expect him to be.

of course he is, the entire system is racist against blacks I mean how else do you explain their epic dependence on welfare, their propensity to break laws more than any other race or their lack of education?
I mean its not like its their fault right?

who is kanye west? clear he got into Bush's head, but has he done anything other than that?

actually a pretty good rapper but is constantly doing idiotic shit and spouting off on things.
He is an idiot that needs to be put back in his place by someone but he is pretty careful about who he says shit about and who he does things to...maybe he is not as stupid as he seems
