Is US the child

Post by capture »

President Bush decides that he has had enough of wasting time in the NATO summit meeting, so he acts like a child and decides to get up and walk out.. http://thinkprogress.org/2008/04/03/bus ... o-meeting/

Myself i found this very immature. What to you think?

Before assuming anything, it would be nice to see if he makes any comments about leaving before the meeting finished.

The small paragraph has a lot of underlining and bolding for emphasis, I would say its an extremely biased amount of information.

[edit] I followed some of the links from that page:

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/on-the-p ... rture.html
"The president sat through the entire first part of the meeting, unlike some of the other world leaders who went and came as they pleased," explained a White House official, who asked not to be named. "The bulk of the discussion he felt had ended at that point. However, Secretary Gates stayed back and represented the U.S. for the duration of the meeting."

Bush was not the first leader to leave while the conversation dragged on. French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper were seen leaving before Bush did. "He wanted to get back here in order to pick up Mrs. Bush and get ready for the evening events," the White House official said. The evening events, including a cultural presentation and a dinner among the leaders, were then delayed to give everyone enough time to rest and get ready. The official photograph Bush was supposed to pose for was canceled.
Enough said.
