The whole stage was set for a photo opportunity and to show the president as the savior who single handedly came to rescue the people. Everything which would ruin the desired effect was removed and the MSM was given the propaganda which they staged in preparation of the President's visit. They did not work on a plan to solve the problem, but were active in directing the movie which was a propaganda tool for Bush.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>smurfygirl (836 posts) <br>Sun Sep-04-05 10:54 AM<br>Original message<br><br>about the two ladies Bush posed with ...please read didn't want to post this in the other thread because it would just get lost.<br><br>I have this incident recorded on the DVR.

Clearly, the audio was not shown on FOX or MSNBC or C-Span or anywhere else I have watched this. I later watched this clip on CNN and this part was edited and you could no longer hear the audio.<br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4623494">www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4623494</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>See also:<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.warandpiece.com/blogdirs/002485.html">www.warandpiece.com/blogdirs/002485.html</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>The official transcript:<br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr><br>Anyway, he was in Biloxi, Mississippi, among other places today. And among the people he met were the Bassiers, Kim Bassier and Bronwynne Bassier. And they join us now.<br><br>It must have been -- I mean, I don't make this a small deal. You met the president of the United States today. What did you say to him, Kim?<br><br>KIM BASSIER, SURVIVOR: He was just extremely calm. He was -- he just reassured us. He was -- in his eyes, you could see that this was coming from his heart, you know?<br><br>He just reassured us that help is on the way. He gave us some advice as to where -- for the distribution sites and where we possibly can get some food and clothes. And he was relaxed the whole time. And he just focused and reassured us that the people would come together and help, you know?<br><br>BROWN: Let me ask your mom a question here.<br><br>Before you met with the president today -- and our viewers are seeing that now -- before that, were you a little angry with the government and how the government had responded?<br><br>BRONWYNNE BASSIER, SURVIVOR: Now, let me just correct you. This is my sister.<br><br>BROWN: I'm sorry.<br><br>B. BASSIER: And I'm -- that's OK.<br><br>But, no, I wasn't angry at the situation, because I knew eventually they will eventually help us in some sort of way. And, like my sister said, he did reassure us that things were going to happen. And I can see that they are happening, because I am in Gautier. And every day, there's people giving us water and giving us ice and telling us that everything is going to be OK.<br><br>(CROSSTALK)<br><br>B. BASSIER: Like today, Pascagoula and Ocean Springs got electricity. And they said it's just a matter of hours before Gautier gets electricity, too.<br><br>BROWN: But -- so, the situation for you in Biloxi isn't comparable, is it, to the situation for the people in New Orleans.<br><br>Have you been able to follow that part of the story at all? Are you aware of what it's been like there?<br><br>B. BASSIER: Well, today, the actually -- the only reason why I came to Biloxi was because I need to get some clothes for my son and clothes for myself, because I don't have any clothes. And, you know, I just needed to see if I can salvage something down there.<br><br>But, walking around, people don't have no water. They still don't have no lights in electr -- in Biloxi. So, it's just complete darkness, you know? No one has anything.<br><br>(CROSSTALK)<br><br>BROWN: Well, hopefully, the -- to both of you, hopefully, and everyone else, that the president's visit today will help speed up the recovery.<br><br>Thanks for your time tonight. Thank you.<br><br>B. BASSIER: Thank you.<br><br>K. BASSIER: Thank you so much. It's a pleasure.<br><br>BROWN: Thank you. <br><br>http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4622811<br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=drdebugdu>DrDebugDU</A> at: 9/4/05 6:32 am<br></i>
