Bush didn't think people were concerned about port security before the UAE scandal

Is he really this clueless? Okay, we know the answer. But still:

Bush said he was struck by the fact that people were not concerned about port security when a British company was running the port operation, but they felt differently about an Arab company at the helm.
Port security has been a major issue on the minds of Democrats for years. It's been Bush and the GOP who have ignored port security. The DSCC has a primer on Majority Leader Bill Frist's record on port security. The key point:
In fact, Frist has voted at least six times against efforts to improve the safety of the nation’s ports.
Bush and the GOP haven't cared about port security because it didn't have a place in their political agenda. Now it does.
