I really, really liked The Pet Goat. Why, it sure meant more to me than my staff briefing on August 6, 2001. What was that about?

A riveting story that keeps you glued to the page until the stunning climax. Even a notification from your staff that the nation you lead is under attack can't keep you from reading the gut-wrenching final words.
"I really liked this book it is a good book. I wish I had a pet goat, cause then I could walk it around and show it off to all my friends in the White House. Mr. Dick says I can't have a goat. Hes mean. He has a potty mouth. He says that I have to read news papar articals and stuff but I like books about goats. I wish I had a white goat i would teech him to bite that mean od Dick. Bye for now! It was nice talkin to ya but now they say that i have to brush my teeth before i go to bed. But i dont wann go to bed i want to watch my blues clues tapes. oh well. See ya!"

I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves. My job is to, like, think beyond the immediate. Why don't you mentor a child how to read? There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee—that says, fool me once, shame on—shame on you. Fool me—you can't get fooled again. If you don't have any ambitions, the minimum-wage job isn't going to get you to where you want to get, for example. In other words, what is your ambitions? And oh, by the way, if that is your ambition, here's what it's going to take to achieve it. There's no cave deep enough for America, or dark enough to hide. I'm thrilled to be here in the bread basket of America because it gives me a chance to remind our fellow citizens that we have an advantage here in America—we can feed ourselves. There may be some tough times here in America. But this country has gone through tough times before, and we're going to do it again. I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here. The public education system in America is one of the most important foundations of our democracy. After all, it is where children from all over America learn to be responsible citizens, and learn to have the skills necessary to take advantage of our fantastic opportunistic society. In conclusion, buy this book today.

This here is a plumb good book. It is our Great President's faovirte book out of all the three that he has actually red. This book was soo interesting that our Great President couldn't even tear himself away even when the nation was under attack. So he does two care a lot about books, even if the Lieberal media says he don't!
