George Bush has a George Bush Moment...

Remember when George H.W. Bush had that encounter with a supermarket scanner? The technology everyone in the country had encountered a thousand times over, but the elder Bush looked at with awe? Well, GW's had his own moment in the sun, expressing surprise at the idea of $4 gasoline when every driver in America knows that's coming this summer.

The Bushes seem to suffer from a complete lack of awareness of the common man's woes, something that's hardly surprising given their high-society upbringing. GW, though, goes beyond the rest by his complete lack of interest in the key issues that face most Americans. Check out the video on this White House news site to see how articulate he was this week talking about baseball when the 2007 World Series champion Red Sox visited; that's because he finds baseball interesting. The people's economic woes? Booooooooo-ring!
