Bush on Education Reform
President Bush is visiting an elementary school and drops in on the 4th grade class. The class is in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word "tragedy."
So Bush asks the class for an example of a "tragedy. "One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy."
"No," says Bush, "that would be an accident."
A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a cliff, killing everyone involved, that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explains the President. "That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS."
The room goes silent. No other children volunteer. President Bush searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"
Finally, way in the back of the room, Lil' Johnny raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying you & Mrs. Bush, was struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic," exclaims Bush, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," said Lil' Johnny, "because it wouldn't be an accident, and it sure as hell wouldn't be a great loss.

and you people act like its an easy job being president. Stop complaining. If hes so bad then why dont you run for president and make everything better? becuase you probley couldnt.
Actually, I wanted to run for president when I was older but I just found out that I can't. Because your laws say that you have to be born in the US to be the President or Vice-President.(Or a naturalised American)
So, I made a plan. First, I kill George Bush's political career, by quietly saying that Canada has WMD.
Then, I tell Schwarzneggar that he should be President, and lobby for the law to be changed. Then, because my and Arnie are great friends and I'm his Vice, I write a speech saying loads of crud, like declare war on the UK. Then I take over, saying he's insane. Muhahahaha! 😈
Or, I just don't become President. Instead I protest and find funny pictures, then get rich.
I thin you guys should all vote Nader.
Sorry for the rant, btw.
