J Bush takes questions from third-graders in Orlando

[Nambe]

Associated Press

--- The governor wanted to know where many of the students were born. When 8-year-old Emiliano Lopez told Bush that he was from Uruguay, the governor recounted how he had met with President Jorge Batlle in Miami this week.

"He's a really cool guy!" Bush said. "My family doesn't like him," Lopez said. ---

Another student wanted to know if Bush was rich.

"I used to be richer than I am," he said. "But now I'm spending it all."

1. wow

that's like a GW Bush press conference.

[Caution]

2. A bit like a GWB press conference to be sure

But it sounds like the 3rd graders asked more intelligent questions than the White House Press Corps (at least those who are allowed to ask questions).

3. "I used to be richer than I am," but my dad is holding $300B for me.

4. Ooh such courage -- Dubya only takes questions from journalists ...

5. What a cowardly little joker....

AWOL is. The whole country is hurting
and crying for leadership and what does
he do but take on the challenging questions
of little kids!

Yep this is our leader, when he's made such
a mess of what used to be a great country he
runs away and hides behind children.


Gorgie Porgie puddin pie,
Made our solders go and die
America he did betray,
Then he turned and ran away!

6. Raising the next generation of mindless spending Americans

But those kids are too smart for a Bush.

7. Clinton vs. Bush

Remember how the Big Dog used to go to high schools and colleges all the time? Whistle Ass and friends seem to only talk to little elementary school kids. That way they don't look as stupid (of course the average 3rd grader is much smarter than Whistle Ass).
