"Bush had said to him, "I don't understand how poor people think," and had described himself as a "white Republican guy who doesn't get it, but I'd like to."


I have a hard time believing GW would say something like that. He's not that stupid.

It seems like an outright lie, or at the least, a distortion.

"Bush had said to him, "I don't understand how poor people think," and had described himself as a "white Republican guy who doesn't get it, but I'd like to."

And if Bush did indeed say that, wouldn't that be an extremely honest statement? But yet Molly concludes with what a liar he is. So was he lying and he does understand the poor?
