Bush doesn't care

Birth of a Salesman: Pitching Social Security

An interesting article about Mr Bush’s honing of his con man skills. But the telling part of the article is about 3/4’s of the way through:

In Omaha on Friday, a divorced single mother named Mary Mornin tells the president, "I have one child, Robbie, who is mentally challenged, and I have two daughters."

"Fantastic," the president exclaims, and he tells her she has "the hardest job in America, being a single mom."

Later, the 57-year old Mornin tells Bush that she works three jobs, which the president deems "uniquely American" and "fantastic." He asks her if she gets any sleep.

Mr Bush just doesn’t give a shit. And he is the President of the United States. It really is a scary thought.
