Dubya to voter "Who cares what you think?"
Fcattus
Here's an honest to God account of one person's meeting with the President
in Philadelphia last [month]:
So when the President was here on July 4, I had the opportunity to shake his
hand. I wasn't sure if that was a good idea or not but I did it anyway, and
said to him, "Mr. President, I hope you only serve four years. I'm very
disappointed in your work so far." He kept smiling and shaking my hand but
answered, "Who cares what you think?" His face stayed photo-op perfect, but
his eyes gave me a look that said, if we'd been drinking in some frathouse
in Texas, he'd've happily answered, "Let's take it outside."
A nasty little gleam.
But he was (fortunately) constrained by Presidential propriety. But that was
the end of it until I turned away and started scribbling the quote down in
my notepad, so as to remember the "Gift" forever. When he saw me do that, he
got excited and craned his neck over the rubberneckers to shout at me, "Who
are you with? Who are you with?" People started looking, so he made a joke:
"Make sure you get it right." But he kept at it: "Who do you write for?" I
told him I wasn't "with" anybody and pointed to one of his staff people who
knows me a little, and said, "Ask him, he'll tell you."
Then I split.
Half an hour later, my boss (who had helped organize the event we were at)
came up to me and said, "Did you really tell the President that he was doing
a 'lousy fucking job'?" "No way," I said, "I was very polite, but if you
ever wondered if the Prez really is kind of a jerk, I'm here to tell you, he
is, and I got The Gift to prove it. I'm thinking of making up t-shirts so we
can share The Gift with everyone:

Shows Dubya is not only an asshole but a coward. He never would have
sassed someone he needed -- an "important person" l-- like that.

Good for President Bush. This "nobody" was looking to make a scene and he got
one. The reporter is a little person looking for his 15 seconds of fame on the
President's coat tails. Indeed... who cares what this jerk thinks.

This was not a reporter--that was his POINT. Bush was only interested in
whether he was an important reporter rather than his host for the visit. He is
Philadelphia Deputy Mayor, I believe.

One must compare his behavior with that of Clinton, so often in the
same spot. Clinton could bob and weave and keep smiling while he
offered reasoned responses to the silliest and most malicious
questions.
Poor Bush can only snarl.

"make a scene"? It should have been a private comment, and would have been
but for Bush's infantile arrogance and lack of class.
As for "who cares" what that speaker thinks of Bush, the answer is: more
than half the electorate care, and more every day agree with him.

"who care's what you think" remark goes, that is just a statement of fact,
whereas millions of people do care what he thinks, including you.

Also, I doubt whether, even semi-literate as he is, he would have
written "who care's" with that extraordinary apostrophe that the
semi-literate seem to be pointlessly inserting in almost every plural.

Indeed... it is an old newsgroup saying, that once you are reduced to nitpicking
spelling, punctuation or grammar, you have lost the argument.
