HEARTLESS response from Bush to lady
Got the audio clip with the HEARTLESS response from Bush to lady w/3 JOBS!
( I bet this woman will some how mysteriously get a new single job that more than pays her bills or just mysteriously disappear, so she won't how up on talk hows)
I took my tape recorder with me today, in case Air America Radio replayed the audio clip with the response from Bush to a lady, Ms. Mornin, who was holding 3 jobs (See text below)
Sure enough, Randi Rhodes, of Air America Radio, played portions of it this morning. It is about a minute long but I kept recording her and included the additional comments she presented. THEY ARE VERY WORTH WHILE TO LISTEN TO.
There are two personal observations I would like to include:
1. At the end Bush told Ms Mornin not to worry that "nothing will change" as a result of the Social Security program he is pushing. My thought were: "Oh, does that mean she gets to continue working on 3 jobs?"
2. Bush was WRONG to say that holding 3 jobs is "uniquely American". Bush is obviously unaware that holding 2 and 3 jobs, for many people, is common place in second and third world countries... THE LEVEL TO WHICH HE IS TAKING OUR MIDDLE CLASS AND WHICH HAS BEEN IN THE PLANNING, FOR DECADES, WITH WHAT IS KNOWN AS "THE PLAN 2000".

Gloria,
I also happened to be in my car when I heard the actual audio clip about the interchange that took place with Bush and that poor lady, Ms Mornin from Omaha Nebraska, who told the president she is holding down 3 JOBS! in order to make ends meet. Reading about it here does not even come close to hearing the actual interchange.
There was one more thing that was left out, in the transcript below, which Bush told Ms Mornin at the end. He said "That is great!" (that she is holding 3 jobs) and Bush himself initiated the round of applause which the audience followed.
The tragic thing is that she, probably, voted for Bush, given that they only allow Bush supporters in the carefully screened rallies he holds.
HOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN "PROGRAMMED TO VOTE AGAINST THEIR OWN BEST INTERESTS, IS BEYOND ME!
The hosts of the "Majority Report" on Air America said that they were going to make the clip available on their Blog. I looked for it today but could not find it. I sent them a note requesting that they make it available.
I URGE EVERYONE TO CONTACT THE SHOW AND REQUEST THAT THEY MAKE THIS AUDIO CLIP AVAILABLE SO THAT WE CAN SHARE IT FAR & WIDE!!!
Below is the link to write to the show:

I was shocked (not really) when I heard how our compassionate conservative president responded to a single mom who is working three jobs. I can't find the link but you can already buy a t-shirt which reads...I work three jobs...That is uniquely American. I heard this on Air America yesterday and was further shocked to listen to the audience laughing at Bush's apathetic response. He has no heart.

*BUSH: HOLDING THREE JOBS 'UNIQUELY AMERICAN'
Tues Feb 8 2005 9:27:01 ET
Last Friday when promoting social security reform with 'regular' citizens in Omaha, Nebraska, President Bush walked into an awkward unscripted moment in which he stated that carrying three jobs at a time is 'uniquely American.'
While talking with audience participants, the president met Mary Mornin, a woman in her late fifties who told the president she was a divorced mother of three, including a 'mentally challenged' son. The President comforted Mornin on the security of social security stating that 'the promises made will be kept by the government.' But without prompting Mornin began to elaborate on her life circumstances.
Begin transcript:
MS. MORNIN: That's good, because I work three jobs and I feel like I contribute.
THE PRESIDENT: You work three jobs?
MS. MORNIN: Three jobs, yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that. (Applause.) Get any sleep? (Laughter.)***
