QUOTE OF THE DAY
President Participates in Swearing-In of CEA Chairman Edward Lazear
Room 450
Eisenhower Executive Office Building
THE PRESIDENT: Welcome. I'm here to swear in Ed Lazear as the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. Thank you all for coming. Eddie has brought a lot of his family here. For the family members who are here, welcome; thanks for supporting the old boy. (Laughter.) I particularly want to Vicki and Julie, as well as his mother, Rose, for being here. I'm really glad you all are here. Does he still listen to you, Rose? (Laughter.)
MRS. LAZEAR: Oh, yes. He's a good boy.
THE PRESIDENT: That's a good boy. Well, I hope my mother is saying the same thing about me. (Laughter.)
I'm really optimistic about the future of this country. I don't think there's any problem we can't tackle. It's really important as we put pro-growth policies in place, to understand that the engine of growth is the ingenuity of the American people. I like to remind people: Government doesn't create wealth; government creates an environment in which the entrepreneurial spirit can flourish, in which people can realize their dreams, in which small businesses can grow to be big businesses, in which the newly arrived can have a chance to realize the great promise of our country.
Eddie understands that, and that's why I'm proud to have him by my side. And again, Eddie, thank you for agreeing to serve our great nation. And now Andy Card will administer the oath of office.

Church on Sunday
That's for sure! Here in San Diego, we've surely had our troubles/scandals - you name it--maring our good name of "America's Finest City."
BUT
I just heard on Roger Hedgecock's radio show (he's the one from San Diego that takes over for RUSH and does such a good job) that San Diego's unemployment is at 4.1 percent !!!!! Five percent is considered full employment.
I understand America's numbers are 4.7??? This is wonderful new$.
