I met him in Washington a year ago at Reagan's Funeral. He and his wife came out of the White House and walked over to Constitution Ave. to watch the procession of Reagan's casket down Constitution Ave to the capital building.
He had an extra chair and offered me a seat. He did not have a clue who Ray Malone was but when I volunteered that I spent some time on Free Republic he immediately showed interest. He knew all about FR. He asked if I posted. When I replied I was Commontator he said he read my postings all the time.
The reason I know he read FR is he knew a lot about me. During the conversation he asked, "You have a lot of radio experience, how do you think Rush's audience will react if this prosecutor makes a case against Rush?"
If he hadn't read a lot of my posts, how would he know Common tator has radio programming experience? He knew my views on a number of issues.
One of his jobs is to help prepare the presidents daily press report.. he does a condensation of what the media is reporting and saying. He read all the major papers,watched news channels, and visits several media web sites.
He gave me his card, and his White House phone number. He even gave me his private email address.
I asked him what he did before he went to work in the Bush White House. He told me he worked for Jeb Bush in the Governors office in Florida.
I am certain that the President gets a condensed version of what is posted on FR. He knew the views of a number of respected freepers.
Sounds like love.
Neat!! I'm glad to know someone in the WH is aware of how we feel about things.
He sounds like a good guy too....congrats, Common Tator.
