Maybe he was reminding JJ that to lie to his face means five more years in the badlands.

JJ has been persona non grata since 2000 and nothing bad has happened. Black people generally are not going to vote for Bush because he meets w/ people like JJ. He has to support issues (like school choice) that are important to Black people.

This isn't an all-knowing political move by the President, it's just dumb.

Okay, it helps if I read all the posts. If the prez, was blindsided, then he just acts gracious. Right thing to do. Take back what I said.

He DOES support school choice. He doesn't stand a chance in he!! of getting it passed right now. We need not only him, but a CLEAR REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE SENATE in '04.
