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!

[A Citizen Reporter]

I'm pretty darn sure I heard "little tommy". More than one person on the thread, transcribing at the time, heard "little".

[ruoflaw]

Doug, I saw it and you were AWESOME. Loved President Bush's answer too!!! :)

[BigBlueJon]

As we all know, Pres. Bush probably lurks around here every once in awhile. I wouldn't be surprised if he freepmails you with a thanks.

Well, Doug, if anyone had ever seen the tape of the C-span broadcast of the California Freeper meeting a few years ago, you wouldn't have got within 20 miles of a mike today...(G)....I was watching it live, and as I saw you, I recognized you face, kind of..said to myself.."it cou;dn't be.....yes, it COULD.."" way to go, my man.....

[afraidfortherepublic]

Wow! I'm so impressed! Could you get your feet on the ground long enough to listen to his answer?

[RikaStrom]

Did you know that you were a "hand-picked republican audience" according to a newpaper on the other thread? LOL

Good going, I am so proud!

[RightOnline]

EXCELLENT, dfu. MOST excellent. :)

[Enlightiator]

Good work there doug, I didn't hear all of the speech and I missed your question, so I will watch the replay tonight on CPSAN and look for ya. Send Daschle to his room, lol....

[MinuteGal]

OMG!....I THOUGHT it was you, wasn't sure. You made my day, my week, my year!

I'm gonna watch it again tonight with a little adult beverage so I can toast you to the heavens.

Way to go!

I saw you, DFU! GREAT QUESTION and even BETTER COMMENT! Only the no tax increase response got a bigger ovation! Well done!

Were there any hecklers? I didn't see/hear any. It was a Dubya love fest! Way to go!

[doug from upland]

We beat up the only two hecklers in the parking lot before the event. Just kidding. There were none there that we saw.

[hammerdown]

Great job,Doug.
Wish you could've heard the cheers
from here when you made the 'Tommy' ref'.
OutFReepinstanding!

Please ping me when the pics are up,'K?

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Good to hear! It was "electric" on the television....the atmosphere.....and it couldn't have been timed better - right after little Tommy had his measured, tempered talk on the telly......President Bush HAMMERS THE NAILS in in an unlikely place - CALIFORDNC! Hip, Hip, Hooray!!!!!!
