Childrens do learn," Bush tells school kids

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Offering a grammar lesson guaranteed to make any English teacher cringe, President George W. Bush told a group of New York school kids on Wednesday: "Childrens do learn."

Bush made his latest grammatical slip-up at a made-for-TV event where he urged Congress to reauthorize the No Child Left Behind Act, the centrepiece of his education policy, as he touted a new national report card on improved test scores.

The event drew New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings plus teachers and about 20 fourth and fifth graders from P.S. 76.

During his first presidential campaign, Bush -- who promised to be the "education president" -- once asked: "Is our children learning?"

Breakdown of deaths due to accidents, disease, or other non-combat reasons.

In the 1980's this was usually around 2000 per year. In the 1990's, this number fell to under 1000 per year. Then again the total size of the military shrank when the Cold War ended.

The Congressional Research Service released a pretty thorough report on this. You can view it here:

"News out of the White House: the press office gives President Bush phonetic pronunciations for those tough-to-pronounce countries like Kyrgyzstan. The proof came when a copy of Bush’s UN speech (complete with pronunciation key) found its way onto the UN website. Exercising its influence over the United Nations, the White House quickly had it removed. Dana Perino dismissed questions yesterday in the Press Room about the incident as “offensive.”

The punchline- Bush STILL mispronounced Kyrgyzstan in the speech.

Bush the Incompetent

By Harold Meyerson
Wednesday, January 25, 2006

Incompetence is not one of the seven deadly sins, and it's hardly the worst attribute that can be ascribed to George W. Bush. But it is this president's defining attribute. Historians, looking back at the hash that his administration has made of his war in Iraq, his response to Hurricane Katrina and his Medicare drug plan, will have to grapple with how one president could so cosmically botch so many big things -- particularly when most of them were the president's own initiatives.

http://whatdoiknow.typepad.com/what_do_i_know/2005/09/70_say_bush_inc.html

[Lefty]

The national debt goes up and down. The economy is humming and you socialists hate the man responsible. You worry about simple word mispronanciations and not the big things. It it was up to you Saddam would be alive and well and running THIS country. Thank GOD it's not up to you. This economy has helped everyone that has the gumption to try and help themselves. Hell it has even helped the bums because most of us have more money for charity.

http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RL32492.pdf


Tables on page 10 and 11. It gives a pretty good year by year breakdown based on cause of death. In 1980, out of a total of 2,159,630 persons in the military (active and reserve), 2,392 died. In 2006, out of a total of 1,664,014 persons in the military, 1,858 died.

The military was 50 percent bigger in 1980 than it is now. In 1980, there were 1.17 deaths per 1000 soldiers. By 2000, the fatality rate had dropped to 0.55 per 1000 soldiers. We can see from Table 5 on page 11 of the same document that a reduction in the rate of accidents lowered the overall fatality rate. In 2006, however, there were 1.35 deaths per 1000 soldiers.

We can also see that in 1980 there were zero deaths from hostile action and one from a terrorist attack. I don’t know what happened to the one. In 2006, there were 753 deaths from hostile action and 238 deaths pending determination of cause.

During the entire decade of the 1980s, a total of 81 troops died in hostile action and 294 died in terrorist attacks (263 in 1983). The rest died of accidents, illness, and homicides.

The U.N. was supposed to be the mechanism that stops the murder that's going on in the world when they are not a direct threat to the U.S.

Doing well in school is not the only measure of intelligence.

I can site many examples of people who are not good public speakers but are very intelligent.

ALL with INSIDE information. Connections and wealth as his STARTING point. How well did he do on his own in business? failures over and over.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbusto_Energy
In 1982, Arbusto became known as Bush Exploration, a year after George H. W. Bush became Vice President. A friend of the Bush family, Philip Uzielli, invested $1 million in 1982 in exchange for a 10% stake in the company, at a time when the whole company was valued at less than $400,000. As it neared financial collapse again in September 1984, Bush Exploration merged with Spectrum 7 Energy Corp., a company owned by William DeWitt and Mercer Reynolds. Bush became Chairman and CEO of Spectrum 7.

I realize that he had help and he had a lot of failed businesses. He didn't roll up into a ball a lay around and do nothing. He kept plowing ahead. He used what he had at his disposal to become wealthy and a U.S. president.

The Kennedy's and people like Elliot Spitzer used their connections for political gain, too.

The media may paint Bush as stupid, but I don't think he is shrewder than he is given credit for.

But I have never met the man. So I can only base my opinion on his accomplishments. He owns a Texas ranch and is U.S. president. Maybe it's all luck -- like that one character Woody Allen played in "Zelig".

I tend to doubt it, though.
