"It's hard for me, you know, living in this beautiful White House, to give you a firsthand assessment."
"President George W. Bush, when asked if he believed Iraq was in a state of civil war."
He couldn't make an educated guess? It didn't seem hard for him to know there were WMDs, nukes and al-Qaeda in Iraq? Can't he ask his NSA, head of the CIA, Secretary of State, or any kindergartener?
"President Bush, do you believe electricity exists?"
"It's hard for me, you know, living in this beautiful White House, to give you a firsthand assessment. After all, I have to say, in all honesty, I've never seen an electron, and I'll bet you haven't either."
I think we'll have to agree. It's just hard for him.
