Seems Bush has it backwards.
============================
Former President George W. Bush canceled his planned visit to Denver today after learning that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange would be speaking at the same conference he was to attend.
Bush had been scheduled to give the keynote speech at the Young Presidents' Organization conference at the Colorado Convention Center.
"Six months ago, President Bush accepted an invitation to speak to the YPO Global Leadership Summit in Denver on February 26, 2011. This week, upon learning that Julian Assange had recently been invited to address the same summit, President Bush decided to cancel his appearance," said Bush spokesman David Sherzer. "The former president has no desire to share a forum with a man who has willfully and repeatedly done great harm to the interests of the United States."
Good point; talk about the kettle calling the pot black. Assange would have had greater reason to cancel his attendance, citing the exact same reason about Bush.
ReplyDeleteBoy was Bush a disappointment, as they all are it seems.
ReplyDeleteGood point public eye.
ReplyDeleteBush himself is "a man who has willfully and repeatedly done great harm to the interests of the United States."
