Orcinus: "A church picnic in Philadelphia, designed to help George W. Bush promote his faith-based policies. I was working at the time for a local nonprofit that had helped set it up, but I had some serious misgivings about the president's performance up to that point, and being a part of the whole operation had left me feeling a bit like a pseudo-person. So when I had the chance to shake Bush's hand, I said, 'Mr. President, I'm very disappointed in your work so far. I hope you only serve four years.'
His smiling response was swift: 'Who cares what you think?'"
This sums up my perception of our president. He indeed does not care what we think. The "aw shucks" Bubba speak is cover--both for his shocking lack of intellectual curiousity, but also for the fact that he does not care about common people. As this blogger points out, this should be on T-Shirts and buttons going into next fall's campaign. George W. Bush--Who Cares what you think?
