DFU TALKS TO PRESIDENT AND SENDS DASCHLE TO HIS ROOM
dfu on the scene | 1-5-01 | DFU

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!

What an AWESOME thing to do. I am SO proud of you and FreeRepublic. Sending Tommy to his room, LOL! Bet he's frothing at the mouth.

I'll be watching the re-run at 8 tonight and cheering for both you and Dubya.

Dude! You made the AP!

Bush Urges Unity in Economic Debate

By SANDRA SOBIERAJ, Associated Press Writer

ONTARIO, Calif. (AP) - President Bush (news - web sites) entered the heated election-year war of words over the recession, telling California workers Saturday that Democrats who criticize his tax cuts are tax-raisers in disguise. With a shout, he declared: ``Not over my dead body will they raise your taxes!''

Bush claimed ``incredible progress'' in the three-month-old war on terrorism, praising a spirit of unity among the American people. ``It's time to take the spirit of unity that has been prevalent in fighting the war and bring it to Washington, D.C.,'' he said.

But, he said, ``This economic debate is troubling me.''

``There are troubling signs that the old way is beginning to creep in to the people's minds in Washington. After all it's an election year,'' Bush said. ``But America is better than that. We're better than that.''

One day after Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle fired the opening salvo, Bush traveled to this California GOP bastion to fire back. Anyone who doesn't like the 10-year, $1.35 trillion tax cut he enacted last summer must want to raise taxes instead, Bush said, although Daschle has not actually called for a tax increase.

``There's going to be people who say we can't have the tax cut go through any more. That's a tax raise. I challenge their economics when they say raising taxes will help the country recover,'' Bush said.

``Not over my dead body will they raise your taxes!''

Bush was careful not to criticize Daschle by name and the president did not respond when one man in the hand-picked Republican audience asked Bush about making ``Tommy Daschle go to his room for being bad.''

I didn't know what you looked like, but I believe I called you "freeper material" on one of the running threads. hee hee...little did I know.

I really enjoyed your premise, the applause, and your question, (Which President Bush did answer, Mombonn).....I liked it even better that President Bush didn't respond directly to your little Tommy Daschle characterization. He didn't have to... The crowd definitely "got it", and how richly deserved it is. I'll be anxious to see if anyone in the media shows a clip.

Here's AP's account: ...."Bush was careful not to criticize Daschle by name and the president did not respond when one man in the hand-picked Republican audience asked Bush about making "Tommy Daschle go to his room for being bad."

I guess we aren't supposed to think little Tommy Daschle made his speech in front of a "hand-picked Democrat audience..."". DUH!

You made it, baby!

(BTW, the Whole CD is currently downloadable, and in fine shape, from the alt.binaries.sounds.pac newsgroup in bin/cue form.)

I am impressed. It was an A+ presentation for President Bush and you too, Doug.

By the way I really enjoy your song parodies. I've been singing my own version of the "Hey Mr. Tallyman, tally me bananas ... day light come and me want to go home." Here it is: Hey Mr. Talimon, hiding like a cockroach ... day light come and you all run away." Dreadful ain't it?

21. "An update"
1:20 pm An interview with a local resident: the resident got a phone call at 9:30 am saying that if residents left their houses today, they would not be guaranteed to be able return to their homes.

I also noticed that the Freakers think Bush "rocked" California. The idiots don't understand the term "hand picked".

EVERY DUMBYA FISCAL PROPOSAL IS:


Enronomics!!!

GW provided a clue as to how we can deal with any energy 'crisis'. He said that Mexico buys natural gas from us, which I didn't know, and in the news lately is Mexico pledging to cut oil exports to help OPEC bump the price of a barrel. So, I think we could cut shipments of natural gas to them (which will hit their industry pretty hard, as I can't believe Mexicans need much for home heating), or tell them to cooperate with us (their largest trading partner)and maintain the status quo.

I saw you, how did you get picked?

I knew it was a Freeper, now watch some media bozo say you were hand picked and from the "radical right-wing" site FreeRepublic.

WAY TO GO!!!

By the way, were there a lot of people that left after Bush spoke saying things like "boy, that Bush sure is stupid!" What a dummy!"??? <--Sarcasm. I know the answer. I thought Bush was inspiring!

I didn't expect the president to comment on the Daschle slam. He is above that as he has shown (sometimes to our dismay). Anyway, it was fun letting Tommy have it.
