Vice President Cheney was the guest speaker this morning at the National Association of Manufacturers breakfast in Washington, Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2007.
THE VICE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Thank you all very much. Thank you, John, and I appreciate the warm welcome and the chance to be here today with all of you. I especially want to welcome everybody from out of town. It's good to be here. The streets are kind of bad outside, but I guess you're all staying in the hotel, so that wasn't a worry for all of you. But the good news is, the federal government's shut down today. (Laughter.) So everybody's safe. (Laughter.) Just consider this your Valentine's Day present. (Laughter.)
The full text of his remarks and the Q & A exchange can be read HERE.
