"All of you can do my job": Emerson visits local school

It's tough to work with President Bush at times, U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson told second graders on Friday at St. Vincent de Paul School in Cape Girardeau.

"Sometimes he doesn't like to listen," she told students in Lynn Karnes' second-grade class.

Emerson answered questions from the students involving everything from her busy travel schedule to the new spy museum in Washington, D.C.

"All of you can do my job," she told them before attending an assembly in the school gym where she spoke to sixth, seventh and eighth graders.
