Appearing at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Alexandria, Va. Wednesday, President Bush spoke at length about his desire for comprehensive immigration reform.
The event, however, may be better remembered for the purchase of a cup of coffee for a member of the media gathered there.
At the conclusion of his comments, as Bush was preparing to leave, an unidentified reporter shouted "How was the coffee?” Bush replied, "Really good. Would you like me to buy you a cup of coffee? What do you like in it, cream and sugar?”
The reporter, caught off guard, stumbled for a reply as Bush reached into his pocket to pull out a few dollar bills. "I’ll handle it,” he said. "It’s in the spirit of reaching out.”
Bush said he had been offered his own coffee for free at the store, but he refused.
"You can’t run a business if you give your coffee away,” Bush said. "I understand how commerce works. He [the shop owner] offers a product I want, I then pay for that product.”
Continuing the basic economics lesson, the president then gave his money to the vendor, saying "keep the change.”
