He is merely honoring courageous patriotic americans who contribute to his campaign to stamp out homosexuality, treason, terraists, and libruls by allowing them a short visit in a historic portion of the White House, and thereby showing his gratitude for their part in saving the country from the Democratic infidels.

See?

"PROSPERITY GOSPEL" PREACHER GETS LINCOLN BEDROOM PERK
Bush Keynoter, Faith-Based Program Supporter
Between Sheets At White House

President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush have lavished friends and wealthy supporters with sleep over events at the White House, including stays in the much-coveted Lincoln Bedroom.

It was a practice denounced widely by Republicans during the year 2000 election campaign, when then-President Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton invited their key backers to spend time at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. George Bush pledged during his run for office that he would not utilize overnight invitations to the White House as a reward for financial contributions, or a quid pro quo with donors for political support. He told Associated Press last year, "There's
something sacred about the Lincoln Bedroom."

A list of friends, relatives and supporters who have spent the night in the White House, though, reveals that Bush is engaging in the same practice. Among those detailed on a roster of overnight guests from January 20, 2001 to May 1 of this year are political cronies and six of Bush's biggest contributors and their families who are members of a "Pioneer" group and raised at least $100,000 for the GOP presidential campaign.

Among those joining Bush family members and fat-cat contributors overnight at the White House is "prosperity gospel" preacher Kirbyjon Caldwell, described as a "spiritual adviser" for the President. Caldwell is also head of the Windsor Village United Methodist Church, a 14,000-member-strong "mega church" locatede just north of downtown Houston. It is the largest Methodist congregation in the country. Caldwell's operation includes a multi-million dollar 104,000 square-foot "Power Center" (a former K-Mart outlet) that houses a private Christian school, office space, a branch of Houston Community College and various businesses such as a bank and hair salon.

Many of them probably never even get to see the chimp when they are there.

At least if you got to sleep over with the Clinton's, you could be sure Bill would hang out as late as you could stay awake to talk about issues.

Bu$h and first lady Laura Bush have invited at least 270 people to stay at the White House and at least the same number to overnight at the Camp David retreat since coming to Washington in January 2001, according to lists the White House provided The Associated Press.

He always gets upset when the WH is used to raise campaign money!!!

I'm absolutely CERTAIN that he will jump all over this. He did the same to Clinton and he's a fair man, so call him right now, ok?


/sarcasm

of course they all donated large sums of money but that doesn't change their friendship. Besides this is the only way they get to spend quality time together.

The thing I want to know is if this was all about friendship and quality time, how often was W actually there? With over 800 guests in 2.5 years, we know W hasn't been home or awake for at least half those nights.

The mantra of the Republican party.

...and buy up land. Oh, and then Bush is all secretive about it.

But you can bet good money that all the pundits who huffed about Clinton "renting out the Lincoln bedroom" won't get as bothered about Bush's policies on the airwaves, natural resources, and even feeding the troops in Iraq. Nooo, Bush scores high on "integrity." :puke:

Bush auctions off government decisions for tens of millions of dollars at a whack. He doesn't need to sell the Lincoln bedroom. Although, if he needed the money for his campaign, he certainly would.
