[Booster]

13. Has anyone ever researched to find out if past Presidents have

had to put their name and then "President of the United States" on their clothing? What a piece of shit this idiot is. My God, he's embarrassing.

[fooj]

OMG! Will someone tell him he really doesn't need to play dress-up everyday?

[Saturday]

And I love those shoes, now I'll have to burn mine.

[kestrel91316]

OMFG. Are we sure he isn't really one of those latte-sipping, Volvo-driving "liebruls" in disguise????

What on earth will the backwash say when they see this?

[Saturday]

"what IS this??!?!?!"

[me b zola]

8. After watching "Lil Bush" last night

The voice of "Lil bush" comes to mind sniveling, "I'll get dad to tell me what these big words mean".

11. Was that a trip, or what?

:rofl:

[me b zola]

27. OMG, I was on the floor laughing--howling, actually-- from the opening

10. 96.5%of the American population is mediocre to illiterate where deciphering print is concerned

I think he maybe in that group


http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2001/2001534.pdf

The National Adult Literacy Survey represents 190 million U.S. adults over age sixteen with an average school attendance of 12.4 years. The survey is conducted by the Educational Testing Service of Princeton, New Jersey. It ranks adult Americans into five levels. Here is its 1993 analysis:

Forty-two million Americans over the age of sixteen can’t read. Some of this group can write their names on Social Security cards and fill in height, weight, and birth spaces on application forms.


Fifty million can recognize printed words on a fourth- and fifth-grade level. They cannot write simple messages or letters.


Fifty-five to sixty million are limited to sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade reading. A majority of this group could not figure out the price per ounce of peanut butter in a 20-ounce jar costing $1.99 when told they could round the answer off to a whole number.


Thirty million have ninth- and tenth-grade reading proficiency. This group (and all preceding) cannot understand a simplified written explanation of the procedures used by attorneys and judges in selecting juries.


About 3.5 percent of the 26,000-member sample demonstrated literacy skills adequate to do traditional college study, a level 30 percent of all U.S. high school students reached in 1940, and which 30 percent of secondary students in other developed countries can reach today. This last fact alone should warn you how misleading comparisons drawn from international student competitions really are, since the samples each country sends are small elite ones, unrepresentative of the entire student population. But behind the bogus superiority a real one is concealed.


Ninety-six and a half percent of the American population is mediocre to illiterate where deciphering print is concerned. This is no commentary on their intelligence, but without ability to take in primary information from print and to interpret it they are at the mercy of commentators who tell them what things mean.

19. No wonder my clients seem like a bunch of semi-literate dolts

for the most part. They are.

Sigh.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. Makes me pity the photographer that had to try and get that shot.

"No, Mr. President that's upside-down. No, Mr. President, you have to keep the glasses on. No, Mr. President it's not time for a snack. No, Mr. President I don't think the shot would be improved if you wore a cape."

[Kali]

24. you clean my keyboard!

"No, Mr. President I don't think the shot would be improved if you wore a cape.":spray: :rofl:

[Canuckistanian]

25. He's not "reading", he's looking for the pictures

The little "ideograms" that say "bad man here" and "money is buried there".
