Bush and the Dalai Lama
The Dalai Lama loves Bush. Not the elder, not Jeb, but W himself. No, really.
During an interview to be aired Wednesday evening, Morgan asked his honored guest, “Which people that you’ve ever met have really impressed you?”
“I think Nelson Mandela,” responded the Dalai Lama. "Of course as individual, individual person, I love President Bush."
"Which one?" asked Morgan.
"The younger one," said the Dalai Lama
Morgan incredulously responded, “Really?”
“Really,” he clarified. "As a human being. Not as a president of America. Sometimes his policy may not be very, very successful. But as a person, as a human being, very nice person. I love him."
Still seemingly mystified by this, Morgan pressed, “But how did you feel that President Bush went to war so much and was responsible for so many deaths if you’re a man of peace?”
"After he sort of start the Iraq sort of crisis then my other occasion meeting with him,” the Dalai Lama replied, “then I expressed to him, ‘I love you, but your policies concerned, I have some reservations’ I told him."
Makes you wonder how many CNN viewers Wednesday evening will be wondering if they accidentally turned on Fox News.
Surprised? I'm not.

Bush Derangement Syndrome. He hasn't been president for years now.
But it's similar to chistians and homosexuality, they don't like the act but they love the person. The Dalai does say he doesn't think much of his presidency.

Hello Steve:
I'm not surprised... He kind of grows on you. I NEVER said I hate him, cause I didn't. I actually kind of liked the bumbling idiot. Not his policies, of course. But, I'm a lot like him.. I say Canyada..

Thanks, but I can read. None of it justifies your conclusion.

He grows on you? He's not really "Buler?"
Sigh, I hate the stupid filters on this site.

Bush had the courage to meet with the Dalai Lama and went to the Capitol for a medal presentation to the Dalai Lama ,depite the anger from the Chinese over the meeting.. Obama 's meeting with him was much more low key .No official welcome, no media allowed to witness the visit. The two met in the Map Room, which is seen as symbolically less prestigious than the Oval Office. Only a single White House photo was released . Then the President took off on a fund raiser hoping to avoid controversy . Meanwhile the Dalai Lama was wisked out of the White House through the back door ;sidestepping the trash.
