On location

One standard rhetorical device in a George Bush speech is to complain about people in "Washington D.C." who claim to know what's best for everybody. That would be the George Bush who's lived at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington DC, for the last 6 years. Here's a version of the line today:

And so the No Child Left Behind says, look, we trust the local folks. I don't want Washington, D.C. running the schools. That's up to the people in the states and the local community.

And where was this remark made? --

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT ON NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND
Woodridge Elementary and Middle Campus Washington, D.C.


i.e. a school in, funded by, and answerable to, Washington D.C.
