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.)

Ah, the Land of Opportunity.

 

Whose screening these people?!? How did the real person get in here? Now, where are those folks we cast to play the "poor but happy" residents of Any Town USA?
