My Fellow Americans:
I am greatly saddened and digustified by the failure of Congress to approve the Dubai port deal. Like the old saying goes “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, but carry a big stick.” What kind of message are we sending to our allies in the war on terror by such prejudiciary lolly-gaggery? Our Arab and Muslim friends have nothing but the happiest sugar coated wishes in mind for all Americans. If the Dubai deal had gone through, in fact, the UAE had promised to purchase several commercial airline jets, weapons-grade plutonium, cosmetic surgery, and the complete Google Earth database all from the good ole USA. But I guess we can kiss all those jobs and all that good-will adios, amigos. Misoverspeculation can be a dangerous and costly thing. Please don’t mistake ignoramitude or fearality for patriotism, my dear countrymen and lady-folk. Reach out to our Arab neighbors in love and compassion...A fruit cake might be a good start.
As Always Your Commander in Chief,
George W. Bush
