Bush: "Working 3 Jobs is Uniquely American!"

Quoted on The Drudge Report

Current link, but it's one of Drudge's temporary links for developing stories so it probably won't be the same story indefinitely: http://www.drudgereport.com/flashss.htm

Yeah, it's fanfuckingtastic that a woman working three jobs just to make ends meet is "uniquely American." We should all be proud.

The president should stick to his fucking scripts.

our president the asshat

Lovely. It makes me sick to think about how hard my boyfriend has to work (and how many jobs he has to work) to make ends meet. And what makes me even sicker is that we are the lucky ones.

"No, Mr. President, I don't. Asshole."

W went on to say:

"Heck, I've had 3 jobs too! Oil-digger-upper, owner of a baseball team, and now president, so I can relate. I also have a lot in common with your son!"

Of course,,, GW has 3 jobs himself... The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost.....

We should all be proud to live in a country where we get to continuously work and never have any fun. Yay America!

I still can't believe this guy got a second term .....

get an education and one job that you can survive on.

I guess in some perverse way she should be happy she even has one job, let alone three. There are some people who only dream of being in such a position. :shrug:

Kind of hard to do when you're WORKING THREE JOBS.

friggen retarded answer to give a women in her late 50's who is working 3 jobs just to stay afloat.


bush is an ass, period.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiight...because an education automatically means high paying jobs.

With logic like that, I really hope you never become a doctor.

You: You've got cancer
Your Patient: Oh my God...what do I do?
You: Get rid of the cancer.

lack of planning on her part doesn't constitute an emergency on anyone else. And yes, President Bush's statement is unprofessional and lame.

my favorite thing, and i don't know if it applies elsewhere, is the occupational privledge tax. it used to be 10 dollars a year or so, but recently was a vote to up it to 150 or so. pay that 3 times in one year and tell me how cool it is to work 3 service industry jobs.

I never said an education will automatically give you a higher paying job. I said "get an education and one job that you can survive on"

I know plenty of people with educations who can't find jobs. There is not always a direct correlation unfortunately.


And I love when they let Bush form his own sentences. You get an even better idea of what he really thinks.

no mon, back in jamaica, me ad six undred job!

Straight from the conservative "easier said than done" box.

Do you even know how many people *have* an education and don't have "one job they can survive on"? Ask your local waiter with a masters in computer science. This is the richest country in the history of the world, I don't think anyone should have to be working three jobs just to barely survive here, education or not.

Wow... what a glaringly stupid comment.

Now... I'm curious.
How do you propose she pays for this education? School isn't cheap. She's already working three jobs just to get by. Where do you think that extra money is coming from? And how about the time? Three jobs probably keeps her busy as it is. Getting a higher education isn't just a walk in the park.

If there is a God, why didn't Bush choked on that pretzel?

Like that asshole ever had to work a day in his fucking silver spoon life.

Don't forget her three children, one of whom is "mentally challenged".

More from the AP

Doesn't sound as 'unscripted' as Drudge makes it out to be, since she was invited to tell her story. Unfortunately, it doesn't go into more detail about which jobs she holds, part-time or full-time, her income, single or married, etc.. From the article, her stance seems to be "I contribute, and I want to know that I will be getting SS when I retire".
