dansangel...what a great profile today. I just love to meet freepers from overseas.

I am so excited. Our lunch speaker today for our combined Rotary/Kiwanas meeting was Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neil (introduced by US Congressman Mike Oxley). I know some freepers have complained about O'Neil's appearances on the talk shows and I will admit he is not the most dynamic speaker (or a "spinmeister" thank goodness) BUT he comes across as very down to earth, knowledgable, honest and sincere. He left a lot of time for questions and answers and WELL...I feel very comforted about who is running the Treasury. He's very involved in homeland security as well as revamping the tax code which he says is absolutely unfair and burdensome.

BTW, I had him sign a brand new $1.00 bill (with his name imprinted on it) and afterwards asked him to tell our president THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM. Oxley cracked up (he knows me) and O'Neil did a double take then broke out in a big smile and said..."You know what...I'll do that! Thankyou!" and he shook my hand. What a great day I had!
