| QUOTE | Credit Ford Motor Co. CEO Alan Mulally with saving the leader of the free world from self-immolation.
Mulally told journalists at the New York auto show that he intervened to prevent President Bush from plugging an electrical cord into the hydrogen tank of Ford's hydrogen-electric plug-in hybrid at the White House last week. Ford wanted to give the Commander-in-Chief an actual demonstration of the innovative vehicle, so the automaker arranged for an electrical outlet to be installed on the South Lawn and ran a charging cord to the hybrid. However, as Mulally followed Bush out to the car, he noticed someone had left the cord lying at the rear of the vehicle, near the fuel tank.
"I just thought, 'Oh my goodness!' So, I started walking faster, and the President walked faster and he got to the cord before I did. I violated all the protocols. I touched the President. I grabbed his arm and I moved him up to the front," Mulally said. "I wanted the president to make sure he plugged into the electricity, not into the hydrogen This is all off the record, right?" |
Long story short: Bush almost plugged in the electric cord into the Hydrogen part of the car. Had the CEO not interfered, KABOOM.

to be fair, he probably didn't know that he shouldn't have done that
to be not fair, he shouldn't have even touched the plug if he had no idea what he was doing

| QUOTE (Pucifur @ Apr 7 2007, 04:27 PM) | Just shut the **** up. Anyone else could have done the same thing. I want evidence as to how this affects the way he runs the country, since you are obviously implying that this mess up makes him a dumb ass all across the charts.
I am not saying that Bush is the greatest guy ever, or even a good president, but I am tired of people constantly holding every single miniscule screw up against him. |
People bring every idiotic thing up that he does because he's famous for having the reputation of dumbest president ever. Therefore, people must constantly remind others of his actions to deter them for supporting him or thinking he's a good person. Even if they have absolutely nothing with his being president.
