Yes, this is out of context, probobly outdated, and Bush has probobly
apologized already for it. 

I tend to not pay any attention to internal US politics, and I generally (now)
ignore anything Bush says.  However, I was stunned when I stumbled across a
quote at http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,168203,00.html#cool

The quote that had that effect on me was this:
Still, Bush told ABC-TV: "I'm not expecting much from foreign nations because
we hadn't asked for it. I do expect a lot of sympathy and perhaps some will
send cash dollars. But this country's going to rise up and take care of it."

It completely flabergasted me.  I'm not quite sure which way to take it... is
it a "We don't need anyones help" or a "Yeah, we help the heck out of other
countries, but we expect them all to be completely thankless and not help US
out when we could use it"

Either way I can't wrap my head around it.  I mean... I don't know, I just
don't get it.

Granted, I stumbed on this quote after I already knew that Canada was sending
four ships and three helicopters (Though I think the HMCS PRESERVER should be
sent too... though it may be in Afghanistan... not sure... heck, not even sure
if they managed to fix the electrical problems with her yet)
