It was not the full response.

The unedited version, the context is:

“It’s been a difficult time in our country, and I don’t think more government is necessarily the answer to this,” Bush said. “I think we need to reconnect ourselves with everybody else. It’s just, it’s very sad to see, but I resist this notion and I did — I had this challenge as governor — we had, look, stuff happens. There’s always a crisis and the impulse is always to do something, and it’s not necessarily the right thing to do.”

Context? Accuracy? Who's got time for that? Especially when a truncated soundbite better fits one's preconceived opinion.

I hate when either side does that. You didn't build it was the worst.

Really? What was actually said versus what was misquoted or taken out of context?

Not sure what you're asking.

I hate when either say pulls quotes out of context or intentionally shortens them to twist their meaning and use them for political gain. "You didn't build that" was a perfect example. Do you think it wasn't?
