The American Aristocracy

It is though by some that George H.W. Bush lost his reelection campaign to Bill Clinton in part because he didn't know what a grocery store scanner was or know the price of a loaf of bread. In spite of his folksy acquired Texas drawl it is obvious to anyone who pays attention that George W. Bush has no empathy for the majority of the American people. He is from a family of aristocrats after all, why should he? This simple fact was brought up front and center yesterday when Queen Barbara Bush had a Marie Antoinette moment.

Sorry Craig, she meant every word of it. After all they have cake don't they?
