What the hell does TERRORISM have to do with education????
Listening to the setup question for Bush just now, which came in like "Given that we have to keep our nation secure blah blah blah, what do we have to do for education....

Bush did NOT want to get any questions to make him look bad.

Who is this crowd?

1. It's hard to know
I mean I guess one could argue that education will help people decide not to be terrorists; but that's not proven and doesn't seem applicable in this case anyway.

Maybe the asker was just trying to get a question out, and didn't want the President to brush it off as irrelelvent in time of war.

4. And I continue to wonder-this looks just like Bush's Candidate Closed Sess
bubble meetings.

Every one of these questions is more like "How will you do this" AS IF HE'S STILL RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT

Clue to the freepers in the audience wherever that is. The election is over, but it's a sad thing that Bush is on a hamster wheel arguing for his candidacy with you all over and over.

6. That's all they can do- campaign instead of govern
Hey liveoaktx, you're from Texas same as me. If you remember, that is how WarPig conducted his governorship. No real governance, just cheerleading.

They were in Louisville but I suspect they shipped 'em in from Waco's First Baptist Church like they do in Crawford.

3. What an odd question
"Given that the sun sets in the west, what are you wearing to work today?" makes almost as much sense!

7. I hate that I know this but
It's part of a recent spin of * about teaching languages like arabic to fight the terrorists. Recall all of the I speak Texan crap lately?
