1. Scroll down on the daily kos page
http://www.dailykos.com/

President Bush himself would have qualified as a "small business owner" under the Republican definition, based on his 2001 federal income tax returns. He reported $84 of business income from his part ownership of a timber-growing enterprise. However, 99.99% of Bush's total income came from other sources that year. (Bush also qualified as a "small business owner" in 2000 based on $314 of "business income," but not in 2002 and 2003 when he reported his timber income as "royalties" on a different tax schedule.)

4. Doesn't even know what he owns.
Could be some obscure thing that his accountants have him in.

That said, he's running for another four years in the Oval Office. He is advocating and making life-or-death decisions and much of it focuses on money to run our government, fund programs - and wars - and send some sort of check or benefit out to probably a whole bunch of the folks on stage there tonight.

He should know this stuff. One should not EVER allow a perception that he or she doesn't know something when put to the test. Don't know if that'll resonate. Cutesy to some, I'm sure. But to people struggling to make ends meet, I dunno...

2. Check ABC's web site as well
It was part of their Fact Checking after the debate, I'm sure they have a link.
