Baffled.
I keep trying it in different ways in my head and I'm still baffled.
"She surrounded herself with women who had similar goals"
"He surrounded himself with other more conservative thinkers"
How is that statement anything but a fact?
The only negative intepretation would have to be from the reader (who is allowed this freedom of thought) and the PBS-er, Dr. Bob.
In order to find it a negative remark they must add their own opinion that george bush is (insert demeaning adjective) and therefore, stating that he is surrounding himself with likeminded people is innately insulting.....Because if I said "He was a philanthropist who liked to surround himself with those of like mind"
There would be no way it would be P.B.S'd or C'd or ..I'm not saying Dr Bob feels that way, I'm just saying that's what it's been made to look like from over here.
