Welcome to Arkansas Mr. Bush.
http://clark04.com/press/release/069/
Little Rock - Today, President George W. Bush is paying a visit to Arkansas, Wes Clark's home state.

In the spirit of southern hospitality, Clark said: "Welcome to Arkansas, where we are still waiting for the economic recovery you've been boasting about."

The latest labor figures show that Arkansas is still losing jobs. Last month, the state unemployment rate jumped to 6.2 percent-the highest level in more than a decade.

The average income in Arkansas is $23,512 and the price of admission to the President's fundraiser lunch is $2,000 a plate. So the average Arkansan won't be able to attend.

Communications Director Matt Bennett suggested, "Mr. Bush, maybe next time you come to Little Rock you can pick a more affordable place to eat. I recommend the Whole Hog Cafe, but they're known for their ribs-and you seem to prefer baloney." lol..I loved that part. Go Clark Go!!
