And if several thousand tech workers can't understand that simple fact, then they aren't smart enough to be employed in America.

Nice try. Bush should have thought through the question a bit better, as that old conventional wisdom has been overtaken by events concerning the new economy. The government can train out-of-work manufacturing workers and equip them with new technical skills until the cows come home - but if all the potential jobs have been shippped overseas, the training will convert folks from chronically-unemployed manufacturing workers to chronically-unemployed tech workers. And if you can't figure out that simple fact, you're not fit to comment on the issue.

That's nonsense. Bush was simply repeating the question from the reporter.
