Default Re: What do you think about this quote?

[ QUOTE ]
She is talking about all the people in the Astrodome.

""So many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them.""
-Barbara Bush

They were poor before but now they can share residence with 50,000 other poor people and eat MREs! They may have lost their homes, cars, family heirlooms, pets, and every earthly possession but MREs make life good!

[/ QUOTE ]

Doesn't anyone think that she may have been refering to the thousands of people who were homeless? They essentially lost nothing, and now have a place to live and food to eat.

Her comments were probably poorly timed, but certainly not as bad as most of you make it out to be.

There seems to be a Bush-hating attitude that affects people's ability to think rationally.
