I'm just throwing this clip up here because I love it. I was in the audience when this happened, it was at the UNITY: Journalist of Color convention in 2004. Bush came to speak and take questions from a panel that represented each organization at the conference, so one African American journalist, one Hispanic journalist, one Asian American and one pesky Native American who wanted to talk about their tribal issues. It was such an uncomfortable moment, actually the whole speech was uncomfortable- he never really got a true round of applause. But if you listen closely you can hear us laughing in the background. Is it rude to laugh at the president?

It's really important to point out that Dubya doesn't know what sovereignty is, because now you'll understand why the US is in Iraq and won't leave. How can a man respect a state's sovereignty or give it to them if he doesn't know what it is?? Get off his back!
