Bush: 'I Make a Lot of Decisions'
LANCASTER, Pa. — Give the man a microphone and he'll talk about anything. For 76 minutes, President Bush prowled the stage Wednesday in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, giving a speech and answering questions about everything from his opposition to tax increases to his veto of a bill to expand children's health insurance.

But he covered a lot of other ground, too.

Bush gave an intriguing description about what happens when businesses expand, as was the case here at a company run by a woman.

"You know, when you give a man more money in his pocket _ in this case, a woman _ more money in her pocket to expand a business, they build new buildings. And when somebody builds a new building, somebody has got to come and build the building.

1. The decider clarifies his job description.
"My job is a decision-making job. And as a result, I make a lot of decisions," the president said.

5. "...somebody has to to come and build the building....and
we prefer low-wage, undocumented workers that we can get to slave away without worrying about providing their sorry asses with any benefits, using the cheapest, crappiest materials we can get our hands on - preferably made in China. This way, we can whip-saw a desperate work force against those pampered, union workers and drive down wages across the board. It's the 'mercan way!"

12. "And when the building expanded, it prevented (sic) additional opportunities for people to work."
He also said that, according to the article.

And this:
"My job is a decision-making job. And as a result, I make a lot of decisions," the president said.
