Bush's Education:

It is said about the US president that before 9-11 he thought that the Taliban
was a Bavarian brass band. Now the president of the world's most powerful nation
has put his foot in his mouth yet again. It was Condoleezza Rice, his national
security advisor who had to rescue the situation. When talking with Brazilian
president Fernando Henrique Cardoso, 71, Bush surprisingly asked: "Do you have
Blacks too?" Ms. Rice noticed how stunned and surprised Cardoso looked and
quickly told Bush that Brazil likely has more blacks than the US and that
outside of Africa it was the place with the highest number of blacks. The
Brazilian president remarked later that Bush was "still in a learning-phase"
when it came to South America."
