im not sure if this is live, but it is new to me. He is making his points at the expense of school bus drivers and DMV workers. The crowd is jeering and booing those despised people.

Would YOU want to drive a school bus or deal with all the assholes in line at a DMV? I doubt rMoney's ever even been on a school bus or set foot in a DMV. He's got slaves to do that shit for him.

that the honor roll student most certainly does owe some of his success to the taxpayer supported school where he had an opportunity to learn, and the public employee (teacher) who dedicated his/her career to helping him learn. And if the student takes the bus driver or the bus itself for granted, then the.snot-nosed brat needs to try walking to school, and not on the roads somebody else.paid to build and maintain. And while he's at it, I hope that honor student respects what the lunch ladies, janitors, etc. are doing to make his day at school go smoothly and safely.

does he think the kid who got on the Honor Roll got to "effing" school??

I've heard some rediculous horseshit from Romney, but that is just dumb

they don't report the DMV quote, but here is the school bus part:

http://www2.timesdispatch.com/news/virginia-politics/2012/aug/12/tdmain01-new-gop-ticket-pledges-worthy-campaign-ar-2124933/

"When a high schooler makes the honor roll, I mean, I realize that they only got the honor roll by being taken to school in a school bus," Romney said in Ashland. "But I don't give the school bus driver credit for the honor roll — I give it to the kid who earned it himself or herself."
