George Bush really does not 'appreciate' Kanye West's Katrina criticism: 'The worst moment of my presidency'

It’s to promote his forthcoming book,Decision Points.

NBC has released some quotations from the interview.

“He called me a racist,” Bush tells Lauer.

“And I didn’t appreciate it then.

I don’t appreciate it now.

It’s another thing to say, ‘This man’s a racist.’

I resent it, it’s not true.”

Lauer adds, “You go on: ‘I faced a lot of criticism as president.

But the suggestion that I was racist because of the response to Katrina represented an all-time low.'”

President Bush responds: “Yeah.

I still feel that way as you read those words.

Bush: “Yes.

My record was strong, I felt, when it came to race relations and giving people a chance.

And it was a disgusting moment.”

And the reason is this”

Bush [interrupting]: “Don’t care.”

Lauer: “Well, here’s the reason.

You’re not saying that the worst moment in your presidency was watching the misery in Louisiana.

You’re saying it was when someoneinsultedyou because of that.”

There’s a lot of tough moments in the book.

And it was a disgusting moment, pure and simple."

What do you think of the remarks?
