Bush Gives Out The Wrong Housing Hotline Number AGAIN

CNN :

When it comes to a government hotline number for homeowners seeking mortgage relief, President Bush just can't get the digits right.

After a housing roundtable in New Jersey, Bush twice gave out the wrong number in a public statement, saying the relief line was 1-88-995-HOPE - leaving off the third 8 in the area code of the correct number: 1-888-995-HOPE.

HERE I'm for cutting Doubalyah some slack ... doesn't he have dyslexia or something?

[BeyondGoodAndEvil]

No he does not have dyslexia. That's an urban myth.

What a brainy, zany guy. Hear tell he's looking for a talk show host job when he leaves the WH, or a visiting scholar gig. With his academic credentials, his quick wit and silver tongue he's a shoo-in for six figures. Well, maybe his dad will set him up with a gig somewhere doing something that requires no achievement, thought or scholarship, the way he's done all of w's life.

Nobody he knows needs it, so what's the problem? You can't expect this genius to keep track of EVERYTHING. He hires incompetants such as himself to take care of this "bidness" as they say in Texaas.

[jnratliff]

You do understand that he does not give enough of a shit about any of the mythical little people to care if they get the right phone number or anything else as far as that goes!

[craneman]

what do you want to bet the "MORON IN CHIEF" does not know his own phone number in Crawford!!

[thoughtsoutloud]

Not just the wrong number, he spoke like an eight grader. And one with a reading deficiency at that.

Bush picked a really strange choice of venue to deliver this message. I live in that county.

If we have a serious foreclosure issue it's pretty well hidden! We are not seeing huge numbers of For Sale signs. It's a developed housing market, reliant on NYC commuter demand and has come through this "crisis" very well, so well in fact I am not even sure our county stats would show a decline.

Todays local paper introduces us to the servives of a place called Novadebt, a private enterprise where he held this event. Seems to me like another chance for commercial pals of the Bush to make money off this mess.

Guess the idea of going to a city like Detroit which is really hard hit, and giving the remarks at a non profit where they are desperately needed did not occur to him.

But then, he also had no idea we are nearing 4 dollar gasoline.

Keep fiddling W!

WHAT'S NEW???????????

Must be all that MBA stuff has clouded his mind, and made it harder to focus on the little things.
Wait a minute, he's never focused on anything, thats why he can't get his facts straight on anything. That makes more sense that he's never made sense on anything he's done, or said. How does he get that big tired head of his through all those whitehouse doorways.

[TheJibreelaMonsters]

Still a two term president, so someone remind Al Gore and John Kerry

[disgusted48]

That says alot about the intelligence of the American voter.

[kcgeezer]

Got that right! We get what we deserve.

I have been told that if you can afford Harvard or Yale tuitions you are a shoe in for a degree no matter your IQ.

[JohnFromCensornati]

This job is *hard*!

[YvonneH]

No big surprise here..... the usual Bush - essentially brainless........

[Miket53]

OK..he left off an "8". Hillary makes up stories about sniper fire, the fact she was named after Sir Hiaalry of Mt Everst fame even though she was born before he was famous, talks with a phony southern accent when in the south.....yet Bush is a dope? Give me a break.

I am surprised he can remember they have a number. At least he got the HOPE part right. Maybe he should try 1 800 - YES WE CAN
