This morning - I wondered if any of the presstitute "news" stations would be carrying this report - but in essence this is what it said:
The man speaking was head of one of the Small Business advocacy orgainzations - Independent Small Business group?
He said he went to this forum EXPECTING IT TO BE JUST A SHOW.
But, instead, he was very pleasantly surprised that it was much much different than what he expected. Substantive issues were discussed and real "listening" occurred on the part of the government people there. He thought it was very well worthwhile and gives him hope for the economy and the approach President Bush is taking.
But, LOL, I thought the quip about Treasury Secretary O'Neil - where the President said, "Paul, we found one" (someone who supposedly was a happy supporter of the Treasury Secretary - although that is NOT what the woman was saying - is very funny!)
And does this mean, McLynnan - that the book signing didn't pan out? Or have I missed that report?
Absolutely, and this President does not waste time with dog and pony shows. Ideas gleaned from the forum will be taken back to Washington, and I believe we will see a renewed push for a permanent tax cut, death tax legislation, streamlined government paperwork, etc. Of course, Daschle's obstructionism must be overcome.

Mr. Mc got the date wrong, and the signing is this coming Sunday. We plan to go and I will report back!
