Looking for a Bush quote from the campaign

[Sugarcoated]

It was a long rambling explaination of, I believe, the issue of why the he was supporting getting rid of overtime pay? It was the most incoherent thing I've ever heard him say (and that's saying alot!). Does anyone here remember it? I'd love to make it my sig line.

President and Mrs. Bush's Remarks at Ask President Bush Event with Small Business Owners
Southridge High School
Beaverton, Oregon

August 13, 2004

THE PRESIDENT: One of the things Jana and I talked about before is it's very important for government to help people with something they don't have enough time of, and that is time, they just don't have enough of it, time. And we were talking about flex-time and comp-time rules. It turns out the federal government, in case you don't know this, needs to pass a law that will allow many businesses -- enable their workers to have flex-time rules, which means you can gear your own schedule to meet your own needs, or comp-time rules which will allow you to take some overtime for your own personal use. You can change overtime pay for extra time to be with your family, or to be with a loved one, or to go back to school, whatever you may think you want to do. And Jana and I were talking about it. You've done some of that in your own company?

MS. TAYLOR: Within the boundaries of the legal and opportunity --

THE PRESIDENT: Of course, within the boundaries of law. (Laughter.) We're not diming you out here. (Laughter.)

3. Found it in one of my Email folders - have a good laugh

"Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost
drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to what has been promised.

Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate -- the benefits will rise based upon inflation, as opposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those -- if that growth is affected, it will help on the red."

4. Holy crap. WTF is that supposed to mean? What language is he speaking?

It would be hilarious if he wasn't the president.
