2. George Bush does not have a clue about America's constitution

...and the individual rights which our constitution provides to Americans. He just flaps his lips and whatever comes out he believes is what is best for America regardless of 229 years of the struggle and work of not just the writers of the constitution and bill of rights, but all those whose bright minds and open hearts who have worked and fought to keep that constitution alive and working for ALL Americans .

B-)
