That's what I assume as well.....but honestly..... trzaska2000 Send a noteboard - 24/08/2011 03:32:59 AM
.....that is the most selfish reason to ever have kids. It's call personal responsibility. Why should our expectations and standards be any less for poor people? Demand the best and most will rise to the occasion and succeed just like you did.

GWB was a joke in many ways, but he was right that "low expectations" is nothing other than bigotry.
