Bush Gives Out Wrong Phone Number For Homeowner Help Hotline.


Thinkprogress:
Yesterday, President Bush visited Novadebt, a credit counseling service in New Jersey, to promote his Hope Now Alliance, which is intended to help homeowners facing foreclosure. But while there, Bush gave out the wrong toll-free number (despite a large sign with the correct number hanging behind him).
Danny Cerchiaro, a homeowner attending Bush’s speech, “whispered” the correct number “in Bush’s ear” after the speech. Bush then quickly returned to the lectern and recited the correct number:
There are hundreds of thousands of homeowners like Theresa and Danny who can benefit from calling HOPE NOW. And so one of my purposes is to make it clear there is a place where you can get counseling. And I want my fellow citizens, if you’re worried about your home, to call this number: 188-995-HOPE [sic]. Let me repeat that again: 188-995-HOPE. […]
Thank you all very much.
Danny just told me I’ve got to get the number right — 1-888-995-HOPE.

Bush could care less about the problems facing the American people. As for the wrong number it was Mr. Jack Daniels and Mr. Weed made him do it. The man is not only an idiot but his brain has been fired on drugs and his liver is dead from drinking. He might say he's visited Hogwarts next you just never know with a drunk.

I heard about that kittybowtie. Would love the minister to say that his reason being in strip bar is that he was giving bible study.
