by George W. Bush (b. 1946)
The strategery
Language: English
And... There's a lot of blowhards in the political process, you know, and a lot of hot-air artists, and people who have got something fancy to say. And there is distrust in Washington. And I am surprised, frankly, at the amount of distrust that exists in this town. And I'm sorry it's the case, and I'll work hard to try to elevate it. And a dangerous plan is better than no plan at all. I'll work hard to try to elevate it. I'll work hard to try to elevate... distrust in Washington. After all, I know the human being and fish can co-exist peacefully. Honestly! Pardon me!
