Thank you Mr. President, it's refreshing to hear you speak with intelligence and in complete sentences. Eight years of double talk and butchery of the English language by Bush was hard to listen to

you might do well to learn a little something yourself. I have read your statement several times..."our education system needs to be "FIZED"?
How does an educated moron like yourself explain that statement?
