He just doesn't get it

A friend passed this along, it's probably old news to a lot of people. This is a transcript from the Leno show last week:

Leno: For the past week President Bush has been traveling the country talking to regular people about Social Security reform. Now, here's a women in Omaha, Neb., talking to the president about her plight. She's a single mom and she holds down three jobs. I don't think President Bush understands — he's a nice man — but I don't think he understands the gravity of the situation.

Woman [on tape]: I work three jobs and I feel like I contribute.

Bush [on tape]: You work three jobs?

Woman: Three jobs.

Bush: Uniquely American isn't it. I mean three jobs? Fantastic.

Leno: You see? Who says President Bush doesn't create jobs. This women has three of them right there. And I bet by this time next year she's working a fourth job.


Bush just doesn't get it. He's right about one thing, it really is uniquely American. I wonder whether one of those jobs is at Wal-Mart...
