Q: My name is Tiffany Cooper. I'm a sophomore here at Kansas State and I was just wanting to get your comments about education. Recently 12.7 billion dollars was cut from education. I was just wondering how is that supposed to help our futures?
Bush: Education budget was cut , say it again. What was cut?
Q: 12.7 billion dollars was cut from education. I'm wanting to know how is that supposed to help our futures?
Bush: At the federal level?
Q: Yes.
Bush: I don't think we've actually --for higher education? Student loans?
Q: Yes, student loans.
Bush: Actually, I think what we did was reform the student loan program. We are not cutting money out of it. In other words, people aren't going to be cut off the program. We're just making sure it works better as part of the reconciliation package I think she's talking about? Yeah--It is a form of the program to make sure it functions better. In other words, we're not taking people off student loans. We're saving money in the student loan program because it's inefficient. So I think the thing to look at is whether or not there will be fewer people getting student loans. I don't think so...... I plan on doing some talking about math and science and engineering programs so that people who graduate out of college will have the skills necessary to compete in this competitive world. But I think I'm right on this. I will check when I get back to Washington, but thank you for your question.
(Editor: Moron. yes, they are cutting. The hard-pressed "middle class" will bankrupt [oh wait, they can't! The Credit Card Industry protection Act has done away with bankruptcy) helping their children. When he doesn't know, he just makes it up.)
of you have sat, and perhaps thought, with us!

The thing is, he doesn't come off any better with sound and video...
Oh holy crap. The professors at Yale must be so proud.
This man, Bush, is completely out of touch with reality. This country is in terrible shape: the economy is stagnant and faltering, the military is all over the map and being pressed to do more than they can handle, homeland security...what homeland security? Money for education is being stolen ("reformed") for the purposes of paying off the military industrial complex (and for bonuses to individuals risking their lives in the military in order to obtain education money once they are discharged from service...that is, if they survive their tour of active service and escape the clutches of 'stopgap' programs used to prevent soldiers from leaving the service once their obligation expires). Bush is playing with the Bill of Rights and constitution like some spoiled brat playing with his trust fund and bankrupting the nation into oblivion. Bush is a dry drunk/junkie - mad with power and he will stop at nothing to bring power and wealth to his cronies and wonks while frittering away the savings of so many hard working Americans (many that trusted this lying sack of crap and voted for him because, "he spoke in honest, bottomline words"). Well, how do like your bottomline now? State of the Union - not so hot...and getting worse.
I love the fact that he knows so little about what his own administration is doing. He's either the stupidest dolt ever elected or a world-class liar. I'm betting it's a good bit of both.
