Bush Soaks in Dubai
Posted on January 14, 2008 - Filed Under Bush |
Today in Dubai it is a national holiday. You know it takes something big to close the banks and declare a national holiday in this financial hub, but the visit by President Bush did just that.
It has been pleasant to see images of President Bush mingling peacefully with leaders and children of Arab nations as he moves through his tour of the region. Bush seemed to be a natural with the sword in his hands, but I think we already knew that.
“I’m most impressed with what I’ve seen here. The entrepreneurial spirit is strong, and equally importantly, the desire to make sure all aspects of society have hope and encouragement,” Bush later told a gathering of entrepreneurs and others affiliated with a young leaders’ group.
Maybe while there he could press for lower oil prices that are hurting consumers back home.
