Yes, but this castes Bush as a down home populist. I like that image a lot.

What bothers me is the SNOB speech. As if GW has never been to a state dinner (until he started having them himself). I bet GW and Laura were regular guests at Reagan's and his Dad's state dinners.

This guy makes it sound like GW has been out in the barn so long he doesn't know how the upper class lives. The truth is .. Bush does know how the upper class lives, and he has chosen NOT TO LIVE THAT WAY.
