Maybe we should also require, among other things, that the President of the United States have a pretty good handle on understandable English, as well as irequiring it of immigrants.

THE PRESIDENT SAYS IMMIGRANTS "MUST LEARN TO MISINTERPRETATE ENGLISH":


"'Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to what has been promised. DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE TO YOU? IT'S KIND OF MUDDLED. Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon inflation, as opposed to wage increases. This is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those -- that that growth is affect, it will help on the red.' "

Bush has gone from out-right lying to just babbling non-sense.
