Question

Does George W. Bush understand what it is like to be poor?

Answer 1

I heard he was poor too

Answer 2

How could he possibly understand.His entire life has been handed to him on a plate.His first business was even bankrolled by one of the bin Ladens (yes them bin Ladens).

He wants for nothing,always has, always will.

Answer 3

Ha! h**l NO! and that goes for a large percentage of people in office. That's why the Federal Minimum wage is still not up to par with the times and the fat and pampered law makers keep giving themselves raises.

Answer 4

Do you think Obama does?  Very few politicians do.  Most have always been wealthy.  

However, it isn't Bush's fault that people are poor.  There were poor people before Bush and they will still be poor after Bush.  People need to stop blaming the government and start taking care of themselves.

Answer 5

In academic terms, he probably has some idea; but in practical terms, probably not.  Face it - most of us who have computers don't know what it's like to be *really* poor.

Answer 6

There are very few politicians that have any idea of what it means to be poor, not just George Bush. Most of them have spent their adult lives holding political jobs and have become wealthy as a result. The founding fathers of this nation did not intend for the senate and house to become  a professional long term job.  We need term limits to end the gridlock and backstabbing mess that has been made in congress for the Last 25 - 30 years.

Answer 7

George W. Bush was born into a wealthy family. I don't think he has ever been poor.

But, he did help us poor out with that stimulus check, I'll give him that.

Answer 8

Certainly, as much as he misunderestimates anything...  Kool Aid for example..

Answer 9

Does ANY politician understand what it's like to be poor? Not a feckin chance! They're too busy giving themselves massive wage hikes and feeding at the expenses trough to worry about poverty, etc!

Answer 10

Gee, that's a hard Question?

Answer 11

Come on! What president understands what it's like to be poor?

Answer 12

no he doesn't

Answer 13

it doesnt seem like it because he does nutin to help the poverty that there is in the streets

Answer 14

He's clueless.  I don't even think he knows how to read, how the heck is he supposed to be able to understand poverty.

Answer 15

Don't make me laugh.....too late!
