Rumor has it that he has requested a tutor to help with his illiteracy, now that the senate had passed English as the National language of the US.

Well have you ever listened to him? He doesnt have a grasp on the language, or how to use it. You are not going to vote "pro" on an issue you do not understand. To think...He's the leading representative of American English.

He doesn't need help w/ his illiteracy. The senate passed English as the "National language"???? What have you been reading? Bush doesn't believe in an "official language" and nothing has been passed yet.

Back in April 2005, during a press intervue, Bush was asked what he intended to do about the flood of criminal trespassers crossing our borders. Bush replied..."nothing. Those immigrants are circulating $370 billion into our economy." But what Bush didn't mention, is the fact that he and the de facto war group known as La Raza, have formed a coalition together against the U.S. and her citizenry. Have you ever wondered why all the illegal protest marches we've seen in OUR streets lately...with the waving of Mexican flags, burning of American flags, and demanding that"We the People.." simply hand over to the criminal trespassers, OUR earned rights as if those illegal slime actually deserve anything from us... were so successful and so well organized? The Mexican group, La Raza (who, by the way also belongs only in Mexico and not in the U.S.)is in full coalition with our anti-American President, Bush et al...like Mousolini was with Hitler during WWII. Bush, as is painfully obvious, is certainly NOT working in the best interest of the American people. English IS the only accepted American language but, naturally, Bush doesn't agree. In addition to changing our language, he also wants to grant amnesty to all his people squatting here...the illegal trespassing Mexicans. In my opinion that bastard Bush needs to be impeached really bad and then exiled to Mexico where he belongs! Then he and his good buddy Fox can go fishing together and exchange stories of how they screwed their people while in office.

Can you imagine if the bill passed but with the language Bush considers the English language. Bush won't sign it unless Nucular, ain't, and um.... is part of the core context.

Bush speaks fluent gibberish, is he a related to Uncle Lance & the rest of the clan?

A few years ago a large percentage 60%+ of U.S citizens seemed to understand 'Bush Gibberish', but regretfully for G.W the number has recently fallen to below 29%.

Perhaps it was just another U.S. fad?
