"Childrens do learn."

Well done, W. Suddenly Miss South Carolina doesn't seem quite so dim.

Face it. English is hard.

Foreign policy? Now, that's easy!

"Childrens do learn" - George W. Bush

Unfortunately, some will learn the hard way that Bush has promised to veto the SCHIP bill, which would cover medical insurance for childrens of poor working families.

"While 45 percent of all children in the United States are receiving some form of public medical assistance, nine million children are not covered by either public or private health care. The State Children's Health Insurance Program, or [b]SCHIP[/b], is a block grant from the federal government to cover those low-income children."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Chil ... ce_Program

"Earlier this week the White House went so far as to say that the President was making a stand on SCHIP because it was a "philosophic issue."
http://www.time.com/time/politics/artic ... 40,00.html

W already supports a 25 Billion expansion of the successful program, just not the 35 Billion allocated in this bill. While it's not pocket-change, seems to me the difference adds up to the cost of ONE f***ing month in Iraq.

He's a shrewd one that W... and he's got you all fooled.

His calculated grammatical gaffes are designed to make you think he's not too bright. All the while he's planning the end of the free world as we know it.

Either that or he's just trying to communicate with children who have been dumbed down by the erosion of educational standards and lowered expectations and feels that using improper english is what they will best understand.

No Child Left Behind, indeed.

I, for one, am looking forward to the day when this ridiculous "act" will be rescinded. Not only does it do an incredible disservice to students, it's an endless quagmire of paperwork and faux-accountability that proves, at best, very little.

He still got it wrong. The proper way to say it is "Chilluns sho 'nuff do learn".

I'm kinda disappointed in yours and FUMAS responses. How about teaching your kids how to do paperwork? [:o)]
