19. Hey, he's already given FL $50 billion, 3 days ahead of landfall.
Funny how future hurricane victims get help when they live where a Bush is governor.

16. Actually, Bush is a really small man
and everything around him appears to be bigger then it really is.

7. What, Bush passes on San Francisco again? LOL
I say the sissy is just plain afraid to visit, but that's just me. :shrug:

Bush keeps S.F. at bay

President not expected to return to city after 5-year absence on upcoming trip to California

Marc Sandalow, Washington Bureau Chief

Sunday, August 21, 2005




Washington -- Presidential visits to San Francisco have been a tradition since Rutherford Hayes lunched at the Cliff House in 1880.

Presidents arrived by stagecoach and jet. One was shot at. Another died. In all, 20 presidents have visited the city, including every chief executive for the past 75 years.

Except George W. Bush.

Now in the fifth year of his presidency, Bush has yet to set a foot in the city that was home to his childhood baseball idol, Willie Mays, and shows no inclination to do so. The White House is planning a California visit by the end of the month, and San Francisco is not on the itinerary.

San Francisco, with roughly three-quarters of a million residents, is the only city among the nation's 25 largest that has not been host for a Bush presidential visit. If he avoids San Francisco for the rest of his term, he will be the first president not to visit since Calvin Coolidge, and only the second in more than a century.

The reason seems plain to even casual observers of American politics.

8. What difference does it make?
bush isn't really a president, anyway, so there's no point in him showing up :)

12. Heh.
I can only imagine. But just think of all the toxic waste his very presence would bring to your amazingly incredible city. His very breath releases spores that enter the systems of the weak and turn them into Stepford citizens, don'tcha know? :P

18. My God, he looks 80 years old!!!
Actually, I take that back. I've seen a lot of 80-year-olds who look younger than that.

He is literally aging years before our very eyes. I think he has some sort of wasting disease.
