Ish--
Do you think George and Barbara went out to dinner with their black maids?
>>>When Poppy and Barb were away from Midland, the Bush kids were looked after by "Julia Mary Cooper and Otha Fitzgerald Taylor, black maids in a city that was, by and large, white and prosperous. The African-American population in Midland was almost nonexistent; the Hispanic population was small, and most of its members were employed, out of sight and out of mind, as ranch hands or in the service industry." Odessa, "the blue-collar side of things," was twenty miles down the road. George W. Bush lived in "white-bread, white collar Midland....Everybody knew the slogan: "You raised hell in Odessa, you raised your family in Midland." --Bill Minutaglia, FIRST SON (Times Books, 1999), pp 26-32.<<<
Sounds like Bush's just avoided the whole issue by leaving the kids and maids at home. |
