Issue: Illustration of 2 non-partisan communications problems in politics. 1) A lack of a generalized accuracy or a common sense. A detachment from a common element in current American Life. 2) A lack of a commitment to play or cooperate with different mindsets. A refusal to accept others for the benefit of the whole. It suggests a desire for control of power that does not incorporate others.

Specific:
HOST: I’m curious, have you ever googled anybody? Do you use Google?

BUSH: Occasionally. One of the things I’ve used on the Google is to pull up maps. It’s very interesting to see — I’ve forgot the name of the program — but you get the satellite, and you can — like, I kinda like to look at the ranch. It remind me of where I wanna be sometimes.

Comment: In a longer clip, it has been alleged that the President made a a reference to "the Internets". I don't want to pick on the President. It reflects a great deal about his relationship to and with technology.

In terms of motivations, the specifics indicate a desire to be in tune with a political group. People who use computers is who is attempting to relate. Computers are common things today. There are some elements that can be considered "common sense". The combination of the use of the preposition "the" and that lack of understanding "google" is a program indicates the speaker does not have this "common sense" about computers. Yet the speaker is attempting a quality of knowledge that he does not have. This motivation to appear as having a "something" that one does not possess - clearly takes a higher priority in his subliminal thought processes.

This elevated motivation is characterisitic of politicians. On many subjects this conduct is acceptable to a certain degree. On many subjects it is a good ice breaker. On many subjects it can be a good debate tactic.

However, on the subject of war. What if the individual's understanding of things as destructive to the world as war, is as faulty as it is with technology? Clearly, the technology of war has changed the nature of war. So can a speaker who clearly has a faulty or incomplete understanding of technology, have a complete and necessary understanding of war?

Point number 2, to the desire for the isolation of power. When the speaker thinks he has used "the google", his choice of maps is not to understand the enemy or the terrain of war. It is a choice that indicates a desire to be left alone. A place of isolation.

People with any kind of power, whether political or otherwise, should be encouraged to share the power for the benefit of as many as possible - if not all.
