President Clinton tried pierogies when he visited Cleveland. President Bush, however, took in a different Cleveland specialty: corned beef sandwiches.

Bush and those in his motorcade ducked in Slyman's, at St. Clair Ave. and 31st Street, a few minutes ago. He ordered and then joined the lunchtime crowd, stopping to sit down at one table in particular. This, however, was not just an everyday diner crowd.

Among those seated at the table and now lunching with Bush: Cleveland Indians owner Larry Dolan. And Alex Machaskee, the former president and publisher of The Plain Dealer. And Henry Meyer, CEO of KeyCorp, Melissa Olmstead, worldwide director of human resources at Aleris International, John Stropki, Jr., chairman and CEO of Lincoln Electric, and Tom Zenty, president and CEO of University Hospitals Health Systems.

"This is awesome," the man who apparently owns Slyman's said when the president arrived. He put his arm around Bush.

Bush's directive to the restaurant crowd: "Buy some sandwiches."

Nice to know Our Fearless Leader hasn't changed strategy...don't worry, just shut up and buy stuff and everything will be all right.

2. Yeah, and nice to know he STILL has his crowds hand-picked for him

God forbid he should actually have lunch with some non-CEO REGULAR people ...
