Consider the Difference...

George W. Bush, assuming he could even read the following passage, probably couldn't understand it.

Let Every Nation Know: John F. Kennedy in His Own Words
by Robert Dallek, Terry Golway

Thom Hartmann's "Independent Thinker" Book of the Month Review

On November 22, 1963, the day he was assassinated in Dallas, John F. Kennedy was scheduled to give a speech in which he would have said:

"We in this country, in this generation, are - by destiny rather than choice - the watchmen on the walls of world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time and for all time the ancient vision of 'peace on earth, goodwill toward men.' That must always be our goal, and the righteousness of our cause must always underlie our strength. For as was written long ago, 'except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.'"

Imagine how different our world would be today if Bush the Younger both understood and agreed with President Kennedy.

1. Bush the younger was the same self centered prick he is today.

He would have blown those words off as a left wing commie statement. The puke elitist of today were the same in youth, they always hated anyone that they thought got something that they deserved more. Look at everything shrubs done in his life and tell me where you would think words would change his mind.

2. Well, it's fantasy, but...

If as a little boy he'd heard the words "Sorry Dubya, can't have that toy--daddy's gone bankrupt; we're poor people now"... That might've changed him (not enough so that he wouldn't have grown up to become an alcoholic criminal, but enough so that he wouldn't be in a position to have done what he's done to us/America)(indeed, he wouldn't have had any special treatment--so by now, he'd be locked up with Bubba)(what a pleasant thought).
