The guy isn't blind, he has a condition where light damages his eyes, hence the shades.

Mr Bush, it must be said, had no idea of this. On being informed later, he called the reporter to apologise.

from the article

At a presidential gala in 2002, President Bush spotted the singer Stevie Wonder sitting nearby and tried to attract the blind singer's attention by waving. Unsurprisingly, Wonder did not respond.
easy mistake to make
