Bush has a short term memory when it comes to popping off at the mouth. Last week, after the furor over the national anthem being sung in Spanish, Bush said, “I think the national anthem ought to be sung in English.” Maybe he said under his breath, “unless you’re running for an election and need Spanish votes.”
On the campaign trail in 1999, Bush would often sing along as the national anthem was sung in Spanish during stops in Hispanic communities, GOP scholar Kevin Phillips wrote in his book “American Dynasty.”
After Bush was elected, Cuban exile and pop vocalist Jon Secada also sang the “The Star-Spangled Banner” in both English and Spanish at the 2001 opening ceremony of the presidential inaugural, according to media reports at the time.
In Bush’s defense he has admitted publicly that he is a “decider”. He has never publicly admitted to being a “make senser”.
