Tony Snow is back and better than ever!  Tony's guests and topics on today's Tony Snow Show include:

Sensible People Object
What does it mean when sensible politicians like Rep. Mike Pence (R-IN), Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) object to the port deal? Tony takes a close look.

Bush Comes Down Hard
The President came out strong on the port issue, saying he would veto any legislation to block the port deal. The President's protected us before; should we trust him this time?

So What's Really Going On at the Ports?
Intrepid reporter Griff Jenkins went on a tour of the Port of Baltimore, one of the ports slated to have its operations transferred to Dubai Ports World, to find out exactly what goes on there.

Thanks defconw, it would be one thing if we had a dozen American countries lined up to lease the port but we don't.
And if we start doing a litmus test on every US asset that is sold or leased to a foreign entity we will be in big trouble. We won't be freedom loving capitalists anymore we will be something else.

"Outside of the Dims trying to take Nat'l Security over as an issue and a few others that have been mentioned, I think another main issue of this is some in congress trying to tie the President's hands on yet another issue - - CONGRESSIONAL OVERSIGHT - -they're screaming yet again - - they seem to want to have oversight on everything he does lately, including every time he blows his nose."

BINGO.

[AliVeritas]

There was also an issue re: another port company that some wanted to get the deal. Anyone have the bidders to Britain to take over P&O?

[Peach]

I hope you feel better, Mo1.

If anything could give us a headache it's trying to figure out why this matter has been handled the way it has. It's gotten a lot of people, especially 9/11 families, legitimately upset.

[Seattle Conservative]

King just mentioned the Port Authority of NY - doesn't Chuckie's wife hold a position there?

[AliVeritas]

Could someone keep notes... leaving.

[luvie]

I think the DIMs just think they've found another issue that they can make the administration look bad. It will blow up in their faces yet again...think Wylie Coyote...but meanwhile we'll hear more about this than we ever wanted to. George W. Bush is not going to do anything that will compromise our security. He is the only one who has been concerned with it all along. I just shake my head at the hysteria! I'm glad Tony is trying to talk to reasonable people who know what they're talking about.

[Peach]

I think there are legitimate concerns about this from both sides of the aisle. We need more information and Peter King is saying there wasn't a complete investigation.

I know some freepers are saying that the republicans opposed are stabbing the president in the back, but I don't think Peter King or Mike Pence have a history of being that type of Republican. So if they have concerns, I think it's legitimate that we have questions and concerns.

And this is what I don't get - why wasn't anyone in the administration assigned as the point person and out there telling us why this is a good thing?

[tiredoflaundry]

doesn't Chuckie's wife hold a position there?

Chief cover-upper of Ferry accidents?

[A Citizen Reporter]

This interview with Peter King is great. Tony is exposing that Peter King really doesn't have a clue what he's talking about on this subject.

[Peach]

I have to run for a bit too. Will check back in.

I think there are legitimate points on both sides of this deal and we really need someone within the administration doing PR on this and presenting the facts.

[Mo1]

"King just mentioned the Port Authority of NY - doesn't Chuckie's wife hold a position there?"

Yes she does .. Top job

her name is Iris Weinshall

[FOXFANVOX]

My concern centers totally around the man Tony is now interviewing, Rep. King [because of his position on the Homeland Security Committee]. If Tony skewers him, I'll be quiet.

[Bahbah]

King: We should look into providing financial incentives to American companies to do this work. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

[A Citizen Reporter]

AHAH! Peter King wants to provide "INCENTIVES" to American companies, just like I heard the democrat Menendez from New Jersey say this morning.

[Bahbah]

LOL. I see our ears prick up at the same things.

[Carolinamom]

I agree that the ball was dropped on this issue in educating the public. I am most appreciative to Tony and the guests he is having on the show for giving the facts and concerns.

[radioproducer]

Am I crazy, but isn't that socialism?

Yay! Nationalized industries! Woooo!

I think I've been doing this for too long. ;->

[defconw]

Yep and all this knee-jerk reactionism helps nothing. Frist just shot himself again. The guy is a joke. He should have picked up the phone and asked the Administration for clarification if he truly is concerned. This is a bunch of people trying to run for President and re-election and they are ruining their credibility with me. I love Sean and Mark, but they knee-jerk all the time. My thoughts tend to run with Limbaugh and Snow. More tempered. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but not their own facts. Thank You Pat Monihan, back when Democrats were reasonable.

[A Citizen Reporter]

These congresscritters want to pick their own companies to award contracts to. They are so hopelessly compromised, they no longer support capitalism.
