From: "Gary Britt" 

President Bush owns a ranch and you don't.  I'd say that's a pretty big
difference.  Anyone watching him work at the ranch can see that its not
something he's never done before.  Rather is movements and dress are
appropriate for the work being done.  Clearly not a show for the cameras,
like that one time Hillary Clinton tried to by groceries while on camera,
and didn't have a clue how the groceries when through at the counter and
didn't even have an idea on how to use a credit card.  She held it between
two fingers like it was radioactive and had this deer in the headlights
look while having to be told by someone off camera to whom to hand the
credit card.

She and hubby understand the common man.  Just like Kerry does today.  Not at all.
