George W picks the worst moment of his Presidency

You might think he would pick 9/11, Katrina, economic collapse or the trillions spent and thousands killed in two useless wars. But no...he picks Kanye West

George W. reveals the worst moment of his Presidency in interview with Matt Lauer.

Bush has probably convinced himself that the federal government's response would have been just as pathetic if the areas worst-hit by Katrina had been mostly white instead of mostly minority.

As Kanye would say "let's hear it for the douchebags."

Hmmm...so many to choose from. I guess I'd have to go with lying to Congress about WMDs in Iraq in order to start a war of choice.

I'll always treasure the look on Bush's face when he saw the multitudes assembled at Obama's inauguration. Just exactly the look of a 6 year old who has suddenly realized that more people showed up to the neighbor kid's birthday party than to his own, and they're having a much better time into the bargain.

That's pretty much his legacy: The "Don't Care" President.

It makes a definite statement about the narrow scope of the man's world that when asked what was the worst moment of his presidency, he replied with what was the worst moment for him personally.

A true statesman would have stepped outside himself and answered the larger question:"What was the worst moment during your presidency for the country you were leading?"

He would have had several of those to choose from.

I still can't believe someone would get so upset and offended over what Kanye West thinks of them.

9/11 is pretty much the worst day in US History for this or any other generation. Kanye's comment is worse than that? Huh?

Did anyone just see the Kanye/Matt Lauer interview on the Today Show? It amazed me how riled up Lauer got over West's actions after the softball interview he gave Bush.

Erik, I saw the interview this morning. Wasn't really impressed. Kanye, in my opinion, should have just apologized if he wanted to, said he didn't know the circumstances with the request for aid and maybe said that the president should have at least landed to show some support and left it at that. Part of me had to side with him over the video being played while he was talking. I find it a bit distracting at times when they run a video with sound over a guest while they are speaking. I would think for some guests it would be distracting to hear it in the studio while they are trying to respond to a question. I know that they do that all of the time, which they pointed out, but that doesn't mean it is ok with every guest. Just my opinion.

But with that said, West still seems to be full of himself asking someone off-camera to be quiet. As much as he says he has grown, he still seems to be full of himself. And the tweets he sent after the interview didn't help. I am not a fan.

Soft journalists like Lauer always seem to throw slow-toss softballs at the big people and always get butthurt when it involves people in the entertainment industry. Same thing with Brian Williams who was all 'Will somebody please think of the children?' in his newscast when Mark McGwire admitted to steroids but probably would never say that to the face of a world leader.

Here's the Kanye interview for anyone who missed it:
