DFU TALKS TO PRESIDENT AND SENDS DASCHLE TO HIS ROOM

Yes, the rumors are true. I had the opportunity to ask our president a question today.

First, it began with a statement. Sorry, but I don't remember it exactly ----- Mr. President, my son-in-law recently returned from a cruise on the USS ENTERPRISE. He wants you to know that everyone on that ship, down to the last man and woman, is proud to call you their commander in chief.

He smiled and the crowd gave a huge standing O.

Then one of the event helpers tried to take away the microphone. I politely said no, I hadn't gotten to ask my question.

"Mr. President, now for my question. After you send Tommy Daschle to his room for being bad, please tell us how you plan to end our nation's dependence on foreign oil."

What a fun time and a great right wing audience!

Too cool! I wish I had know that was you at the time. Well done! I wonder if C-SPAN will replay this? I'm gonna find out.

BTTT

[lonestar]

It will be re-played on C-SPAN tonight. Don't know the time but it's early.

[doug from upland]

I think they replay at 8:00 PM Eastern.

I thought that was you!!

Way to go!

[Not now, Not ever!]

You did great Doug, Fantastic!

[rockfish59]

what i'd like to hear:

'we will kick the saudi's @$$ and take their gas!
we will also conscript all envirowackado's to work on drawing out the oil from ANWAR,
and the newly built platforms off the calif. coast'!

[deadhead]

Excellent DFU! A wonderful opportunity, to ask President Bush a question! You must have a smile on your face that just won't go away (I know I would)

[Humidston]

I saw you too! And I also thought immediately THAT MUST BE A FREEPER!

Can I have your autograph? LOL!

[Miss Marple]

I knew that was you. I remembered about The Enterprise when your son-in-law left. I am so proud of you!

You did well. The comment about the men and women of The Enterprise was so wonderful, and it was exhoed by the crowd.

THEN, having done your homework here, you slammed Daschle so the President didn't have to and asked a very good question about the Energy Bill, which I really wanted to have spoken about today.

You deserve a spot in the Freeper Hall of Fame! Thanks for your efforts, thanks for your question, and thanks for the nice words you spoke to President Bush. God bless you.

[Humidston]

PS - And I was reading the expression on Bush's face - He LOVED your question!

[dittomom]

Nice job, Doug! What a fantastic opportunity! Never ceases to please me that we have such an honorable man as CIC now. Sure am sorry I missed the broadcast this morning, I will be sure to tune in the rerun. Right now, I've got FoxNews on and they say they will be showing the President's appearance in Portland, OR shortly.
