* to visit S. Indiana to talk about the miracle of his economy
Since John Yarmuth unseated Anne Northup last year, dimwit refuses to visit Louisville, but has to land AF1 here in order to get to his base in Southern Indiana. There are two interstate highways with bridges over the Ohio River between Indiana and Kentucky, and motorists are advised to find a route that doesn't use these bridges, all of this so that Bush can get outside the Beltway and talk to common folks, or at least the common ones on an invitation-only list.

Bush's visit may disrupt traffic
President to speak in New Albany

If you've got plans to travel along Interstates 64 or 65 between Louisville and Southern Indiana today, the Indiana State Police have this advice:

"It would be good to have an alternate plan," said Mickey Neal, commander of the Sellersburg post...

...There are no events open to the public on Bush's agenda for what will be about a 31/2-hour stop.

White House Press Secretary Dana Perino told reporters yesterday that Bush plans to learn more about the local economy while he's here.

"The lunch is going to be an important time for him to be able to check in with people outside of the Beltway who are having to deal with the higher energy prices," Perino said.

In his speech, Bush plans to focus on the fact that the economy has continued to create jobs and higher salaries for workers despite high energy prices and the slumping housing market. The president wants to hear "why they think that we are able to still have a good job creation market," she said.

1. But not open to the public...No PROLES allowed
Edited on Tue Nov-13-07 08:48 AM by SpiralHawk
That's because Commander AWOL only wants to hear from other fatcat republicon homelander chickenhawk cronies, so his state-funded propaganda machine can pump out the BS.

Commander AWOL wants to hear NOTHING from the proles*



* proles = formerly known as citizens of the United States of America

2. create jobs and higher salaries... BS

Of course, every word that comes out of his mouth is BS.

3. Yep, you're right.....higher salaries? I have been actively engaged
in helping my 29 year old college grad daughter find a job that is more than scaping the bottom of the barrel week after week. She is a very hard worker....has two jobs...works over seventy hours a week and still is struggling...been doing it for years! * will learn nothing if he doesn't talk with real people in the real world. Wonder how much this trip of his is costing us?

4. "Why they think that we are able to still have a good job creation market?"
How absurdly transparent is that statement? They don't even try to be clever or subliminal, anymore.

6. The Faithful will always believe 'em, and forget where they were wrong
Example: One of Reagan's arguments for his tax cuts was that they would save high-paying manufacturing jobs.

Back then there wasn't talk of any "new economics" or "post-industrial economy". The rationale for economic problems was that our factories were outdated: most were built pre-WW2, while in Europe and Japan everything had been rebuilt after the war. So with their shiny new tax cuts, corporations would invest in more modern industrial plant, so Everybody Wins.

Obviously, this did not happen, but how many Gipperphiles actually remember that little boo-boo?

5. My sister was a bush ass kisser
but since their business of 35 years went bankrupt, her husband divorced her and she can't find a job because of the economy wonder if she still wants to kiss bush ass.

She lived in the lap of luxury and was never trained to do anything. She did work for a living for 20 years like I did.

7. It's Getting Harder To Find Places For A Photo Op
You can't get any "safer" for boooshie boy in the Midwest than Southern Indiana. Even though that's starting to change.

The other day I went through a talk show from back in '92...one of the topics was a visit of Poppy Bush to Chicago...one of many he made that year that messed up traffic around the city as he went from one fundraiser and campaign stop to the next. Junior barely shows here...and I can't think of the last time I saw him in NYC or any other major Northern city.

I sure hope the Repugnicans run on a "healthy economy" platform...they couldn't do the Democrats a bigger favor.
