Bush bus to travel troubled territory
WASHINGTON — President Bush climbs aboard a 45-foot bus Monday for a two-day campaign tour through difficult terrain.

He'll speak at rallies and take questions from audiences in Michigan and Ohio, which have 37 of the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the presidency.

They also have ailing economies. Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, the likely Democratic nominee, campaigned in both states last week on a tour that highlighted job losses.

Since Bush took office, Ohio has lost 225,700 jobs. Michigan has lost more than 300,000 jobs, more than any other state. That's a big chunk of the 2.2 million jobs lost nationally during Bush's tenure.

4. Will these rallies be open to the public?
Or will the audience be completely screened, as usual?

6. they`ll be screened
the people there will be hand picked by the company or the local rethugs.cameras will not stray off bush for very long ,lest they see some worker "adjusting his glasses". he certainly won`t stop by an unemployment office......

8. The audiences will be
either big contributors and konservative fundies. No way will they let chimpy get into an open public appearance. Everything will be so tightly scripted you'd think James Dobson was going to be there.

5. Bu$h should be on a short bus
It makes me sick that this creep is running all over the country on OUR tax dollars campaigning and going to fundraisers while our soldiers and innocent Iraqi men, women, and children are getting maimed or killed.....all for NO REASON. I swear,the sound and sight of that miserable failure blows me away. There is no way I could cope with another 4 years of that asswipe in my face every day. :puke:

Saying that minibrain should be on the short bus is insulting the intelligence of people who are actually do ride the short bus. *'s screwed those folks over quite a bit.
