Father? Children?

Am I correct that President Bush said that he thinks of himself as the father and us as his children?

If he did say that, am I the only one who is insulted? Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

I did not hear that, but if he said it, I would consider it an inappropriately patronizing and condescending remark.

Didn't anyone tell Bush that it is the Democrats who want to play, "big daddy"?

Richard Nixon said something like this after his second election in 1972. There was an immediate reaction to, as Phoenix put it, a patronizing and condescending remark, and Nixon never said it again. Given the Nixon hullabaloo I would be surprised if any other president would be so foolish as to repeat the remark.

Or if he's not God, he is sure he has a direct pipeline. . .
