Audacity of Truth

Vice President Joe Biden had his “oops” moment Wednesday speaking in a 49er-crazed SF when he told a crowd at a city political fundraiser that “the Giants are on their way to the Super Bowl.” - SF Chronicle, 1-18-12
Yes, it’s true. The President really does hate children
This story from the conservative Washington Times proves it:
A question for President Bush on immigration rose up like a ghost from the grave this afternoon in Ohio.
Only the questioner was a 13-year old blonde-headed girl, Jessica Hackerd, from Brecksville, Ohio, who immediately broke into tears after making her inquiry.
“Mr. President, I know immigration has been a big problem in the U.S. And what is your next step with the immigration bill?” Jessica asked Mr. Bush, during a question and answer period after a speech Mr. Bush gave to a Cleveland business group.
Mr. Bush’s sarcastic reply — a wry “yeah, thanks” — drew laughter from the crowd of 400. But the attention caused young Jessica, who characterized herself in an interview afterward as very shy, to immediately tear up.
“No, it’s a great question. No, I appreciate that,” Mr. Bush said, as he saw Jessica’s reaction.
Jessica, in the interview, said that she was crying because she was so nervous.
But when the president’s sarcastic answer was mentioned, she said, “I heard that too.”
Mr. Bush went on to speak more than 1,100 words about the death of his proposed comprehensive immigration reform, which was a heavy blow when it fell apart last month.
But Jessica, there with her parents and younger sister, continued to wipe tears from her eyes for several minutes, and midway through his answer, Mr. Bush again tried to encourage the distraught youngster without drawing too much attention to her.
Why do I get the feeling that if the young teen’s question had not been about the immigration issue, that the anti-immigration bill folks at the Washington Times wouldn’t have even seen fit to print something that normally the left gets outraged about? The only difference between that article and what I typically view on a ‘mainstream lefty site’ is at least at the end of the article, it shows how Bush was concerned enough about the girl to talk to her after the speech was over, and, of course, it’s missing a few choice words.
Maybe tomorrow can be officially designated as “Bush-Bashing Day” amongst conservatives. And then someone in the administration (or Bush himself) could respond in a not so friendly manner – making things worse. I can hardly wait!

I predict a congressional investigation over this one!! did the President have prior knowledge of the question and plan this assault on this innocent little girl?
Did Karl Rove inject a substance into the classroom that caused the girl to tear up? Who knew what and when?
Stay tuned…….
The big meany…
The story written as it is, doesn’t even make much sense.
Huh? Heard what too – what answer are they referring to?
If she is so fragile then why is she volunteering to ask him anything at all or has someone pushed her into doing something she had no business doing in the first place. The whole thing wreaks of another non-starter story except to sustain the continued BDS for the nattering morons.
Gee, I hope everybody got a trophy for showing up.
I teach 12-16 year old kids. Now and then you get some intensely shy ones that tear up under the pressure of just asking them their name. That’s the way it is with a handful of truly shy children. It’s part of life and part of growing up, nothing more.
The right is starting to act like the left. They make the political personal, they use race and/or populism to show us they are victims, they demonize anyone who does not agree with them, they demagogue an issue rather than discuss it rationally and they when all that fails, they make stuff up.
Huh???
Terrye, how is this helping the dialogue at all?? Infact how is this not an example of what you are complaining about???
Since I am asking questions. How is the President suppose to know that this girl was intensely shy??? Did she have a sign?? Here’s your sign!!
I just wonder if these guys don’t use their blogs for their more leftward tendencies. I did notice that alot of left thinking people made comments to this story. I also noticed Dear, that your piece on Vitter was listed a couple of stories over. Congrats!!!

(BTW-Lorica: Amazing bit of restraint was demonstrated by you, as those who don’t know you made certain feminine references to your name via their presumptions-Got any Israeli in the family tree?)
In addition to what Lorica has stated, what IS proven in this story regarding the inability to know the level of someone’s potential, for anyone of us, is that we are human beings not some omniscient sentient creatures.
Perhaps Jon Ward, White House correspondent for The Washington Times could’ve been more involved with his prowess in NO. Sandbagging and reporting are becoming increasingly synonymous.
