Go Bush!!!!!!!!!!
 
I was just watching my local news when they did a small feature on how yesterday when Bush was speaking in Florida (I believe) a little girl was allowed to ask a question and she said that she was so proud of him and wanted to know if he'd shake her hand. Bush smiled and said he'd do better than that and give her a kiss on the cheek. So he did and she started crying because she was so happy.
Now that's touching!:)

I saw that live yesterday. He is a pretty good guy! There was one guy in the audience that said he applied for assistance for his small business and it got bogged down ect ect... Bush sent of the the guys in charge of that program(that happend to be there) over to him to help him out. I have been totally impressed by everything he has done. I dont think I could (or even want to) imagin how Al Gore would be handling all this...

Hootie, he is a polotician! It is good press!
He is under the gun but that is what advisors are for! Granted, he has to make the last decision but is from a lot of imput from knowlwedgeable people around him!

Hell, I love to kiss little girsl, You, OTW, Killerny, AlphasigmaLana ETC!

I do not care what anyone says Harry Truman is the last good Pres. we have had in this country! I am not saying that because he was a LXA and I knew him!

Bess had the worst chocolate I ever had! :D

I love him and I DIDN'T get any money back!!!! LOL

I know it's politics but he is genuine. There is something in his manners and his face that tell you he's being sincere. And furthermore...he doesn't have to do it to look good. America's approval rating for him is still high.

Nooooo getting money is not a good idea!!! Do you see how our economy is now - i know 9/11 played a role in that, but it was going downhill anyway!!!! Plus, once you get your next tax returns back, you might now like Bush that much :cool: I refused to allow my parents to cash their check.

IowaHawkeye 12-05-2001 07:36 PM

when you get your tax returns back for this year, and you find that you owe the governement money because they bailed you out with the $300/$600 tax cut, you'll realize what i'm talking about - if you don't, take it up with Dr. Conybear, my Political Economics professor, i'm sure he'll be happy to explain, lol :D

don't get me wrong, that story was incredibly sweet and bush is doing a great job as president during a national tragedy/emergency - but this is politics we're talking about. Anyone see Wag the Dog? they set something like this up in the movie to make the president look good - great movie for all you political buffs out there!

LexiKD 12-05-2001 10:41 PM

I pay too much taxes regardless, that 300.00 was great!

Tom Earp 12-05-2001 11:02 PM

What 300.00? If anyone needed it , it is me!

Hell, I might really run for PRES. Is my cabinent still intact?:)

It is a time for change, not money but people!:)

Damn am I ni eve!:D

40 + mill. to win a mayor of NY that pays 125,000!:confused:

Strom Thurmond just turned 90! Wow! He must be half brain dead! It is wrong!:mad:

NO the morons that keep electing him have cranial rectosis!:D

Rambleing like the Sons Of the Pioneers!:D

MMM...I dont think sending me a check for $300.00 will buy my approval, but I guess it has for a lot of people.
Bush is a mediocre president who has been caught in the middle of a national tragedy...and has a lot of talented, professional, and knowledgable people working for him. If 9/11 didnt happen, he would still be at Camp David on his scheduled 4 month vacation.

OH GIRL do I ever agree with you!! You said it!

I'm not even going to get into what's going to happen to social security, either, or our national wildlife.

I have to say, too, that I saw Jimmy Carter on tv yesterday and he was speaking about the situation in Israel. He came across as having much more of an understanding of the situation than Bush has.

I feel the exact same way!! I respect his position, but if recent events had not transpired, he'd be chillin', or busy bailing his daughters out :rolleyes:.

I am very concerned about our environment and reproductive rights, since we are letting Bush get away with anything he wants right now. Before recent events, he was approving some sketchy measures...

Thank You! VolGirl2376, you are right on the money with that one.

I have to add that unlike AlphaChiGirl, I DON"T respect him, and never will. He cheated his way into office. Bottom line.

DukeBlue 12-06-2001 12:50 AM

He's not pro-choice, so I didn't vote for him, and never will. Period.

Peaches-n-Cream 12-06-2001 01:00 AM

I am not a fan, BUT he was very cute with that little girl!
