Oh dear. Mr 28% is coming to town.

Keep your hands on your wallets, folks. He wants to talk economy.

Can we please just ask him politely to go away… Forever?

Please update when you learn of any planned protests. Let’s give this feckless mediocrity the welcome he deserves.

5 Hours 266 Days!!! until the bum is gone!

Soooo what!!!!! Give us some real news we need to know about. It must be really important if they won’t tell you where he’ll be, or are they just worried too many people will come out and protest ?? We don’t need the village idiot in this vilage!!

I hope all the people that work for Western Union, the 700 people who are losing there jobs because Western Union is moving to Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and Mexico, protest in person when George Bush gets here. Western Union, a union employee, are closing there Western Union offices to move to country’s where they pay the employee’s much less. Protest George, Protest the closing of Western Union offices, don’t use Western Union services, ever…..
My family received Western Union messages from the men in our family serving during World War II, the Western Union telegram of my husband’s is being saved among precious items for our grandchildren. Ask your grandparents what it meant to receive a Western Union telegram and they will tell you that they received it because a loved one, serving in the U.S. Military either died, was missing in action or sustained injuries.
George Bush is the worst President of the United States our country has every had, followed closing by Vice President Dick (Deferment) Cheney.
If there are going to be portests, I hope STLtoday and the Post Dispatch list where we can go to also protest.
A message to George, go home to Crawford, don’t come to St. Louis. We don’t want you here in our community.

I personally would love to be able to out and meet him. My family hasn’t been adversely affected by the change in the economy at all. Too many people live beyond their means and then blame the government, grow up and deal with life. The entitlement attitude of these union employees is getting out of hand, to many unions over pay for low end work. It’s not the governments job to make sure that you have an education, housing, insurance, or food. Teach your children the value of being able to stand on their own two feet, you only deserve what you have personally worked for.

I think he has done a great job as President and I hope that we get another Republican in the office this fall, if not my god help us all.

Jennifer:

If you believe your party — any party — is inherently superior, please do America a favor and stay home election day. No political party has all the saints or all the sinners, all the good ideas or all the bad ones. Vote for people, not labels.

Mr. Bill

I never once said that my party was inherently superior, you obviously read something that wasn’t there. That is a trait that Obama is looking for to get votes. He seems to say things in hopes that people will find something that isn’t there all of the time.

I will vote for the person that stands for what I believe in. I just stay away from the party that I believe to have more sinners and more bad ideas. I would personally rather live in a free republic versus a socialist state.

I got laid-off on Wednesday.

I will be there witha megaphone.

Wow Jenn didnt have to say it twice.

And, John McCain is an anti-Catholic bigot!

http://www.catholicleague.org/release.php?id=1403

Matter of fact my family has done great under Bush. I wish he would start another war. All of the people that have died because of the Bush Administration has made my family tons of money.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to say it twice. The site said I had a system error and needed to repost.

Welcome to St. Louis President George Bush! He has just as much right to be here as anyone else does. I think that we have been blessed with keeping a war out of our own backyard here in the United States. I am not always in agreement with President Bush, but I don’t think that we are ever totally in agreement with any leader (Democrat or Republican). We all are different in our own way and I think we sometimes take our freedom for granted. Lets be nice to our guest.

Jennifer: From your post: “,,,and I hope that we get another Republican in the office this fall, if not my god help us all.”

I would love to ask Bush to sell all his stocks in oil . then take the oil out of the stock market

Mr. Bill

That doesn’t translate to superiority, just common sense when we are dealing with terrorist worldwide. We don’t need our military and intelligence cut by another Dem. again.

My only comment is that the position of president should be respected. People respect the pope and line the streets to see him, even if they are not catholic….

If he’s going to boost the economy he needs to get the price of gas down to about $2.00 a gal

Hey Jennifer Coulter, Cheney voted for all those cuts along with most legislators at the time

“Jennifer” = Official White House Advance Hack. They usually arrive around the same time as the Secret Service.

That’s awesome…G Dub coming to town to talk about the economy so he can jack up the already jacked up traffic…Sweet…we can sit in our cars an extra hour of the day listening to his lame duck lip service including ideas to spend the rebate checks that were electronically deposited today. At only $3.89 a gallon I love just sitting around burning gas thinking of ways to spend my $600….hopefully it’s hot and I have to crank my AC.

Hmm…I think I’ll use my $$ to fly to Mexico where I can get some value out of my discretionary income. Come to think of it…isn’t that G Dub’s economic policy…invest in other countries? I’m surely no economist but is this similiar to Ole’ Dirty G H Dub’s “trickle down” economy? Knowledge is power…if the President and/or a Politician said it, or you read it on the internet, it must be true!

I wish we could ship Jennifer to Iraq.

Jenn thats a twisted statement that your family has profited so much with all the people who have died in the war..was that a joke or just a demented statement?

Start another war?? what about the one already in progress?

Get with the program!

Jennifer et al,

When did George decide to ruin your lives? Maybe you could tell us all when exactly Bush made the decision to close the Western Union. And, Gabe, when did George decide to put you out of work? I think we’d all be a bit better off if we thought for a minute about how and why certain things happen. Just because you think it’s the president’s job to find you a job, give you a raise, tell the gas station what to charge you for fuel, tell the grocery store at what price they can sell milk, doesn’t mean that when you lose your job, lose out on a raise, and are unhappy with the price of milk and gas that it’s his fault.

I have it on good authority that Barack has promised to make Western Union stay in St. Louis, force somebody to give Gabe a job for twice what (s)he was making before, stop the Indians and Chinese from eating higher protein diets and consuming the fuel that is our birthright, and force people to stop succeeding so that we might erase this income inequality that the NY Times has been telling me about.

Are you guys the same ones that are going to protest in Denver in August ? I told you Democrats love to protest. Rush Limbaugh is right as usual.

Welcome to St. Louis Mr. President..!
Hail to the Chief..!

Jenifer you said “I never once said that my party was superior” Well then what was the comment “if anyone but a republican wins the election then god help us all” I hate to break but if that doesnt blatenly state the intended supperiority of your own party then I don’t know what would. I would like to think that god really doesn’t care who how you vote. I do not expect you to understand this, because you clearly have trouble undestanding simple things. Such as the construction of logical thought. I mean how esle could you call the death of thousands of American soldiers, the tanking of the economy ( I lost my architecture job in the housing downturn so don’t tell me it didn’t affect me) the failure to capture Bin Laden, the eroding of international opinion, the steady fall of the dollar a “great job”? a “great job”? Time will be the test but I am certain that President Bush will go down as the worst president in history! God bless the whole world! not just US republicans.

To everyone..

I didn’t post the one about the war. Someone apparently thought they were being funny. My assumption would be that it was from someone who has no respect for our Military. I, however, proudly served my country and would never post something so sick.

President Bush is welcome any time in my St. Louis. Those who make childish and inane remarks add nothing to the debate. It shows how shallow they are.

So George Herbert Walker Bush III is coming to town to talk about the economy.

I think we can safely assume he will again choose some of the same fora he has used before — a private club far away from the press and public. Of course there will be some type of public stand-up at some “factory” where he’ll allude to his support for the “working person”.

Undoubtedly he will tell us he is glad that the “economic stimulus checks are in the mail”. Of course he will also go ahead and encourage everyone to “spend them to stimulate the economy”. Oh, yes, I forgot, the standard line why the wealthiest 1% need yet another tax cut.

Jennifer, I agree with you that far too many people have been living beyond their means and need to cut up their credit cards and go back to a cash only style of transaction. Unfortunately, right now “living beyond your means” has come to trading off the rise in gas and food prices with just about everything else.

I can not believe that there are people that seriously stick up for this joker. Bush has made America into the most hated country in the world. I can’t even comprehend that fact that people still see this “war” in Iraq as justifiable. All the money we have thrown away over there, think of all the things that money could have done here. No, Bush just wants to make daddy proud and clean up a mess started over 20 years ago by the same people that have us right back over there. Really to call this man a good president is like saying Charles Manson is an outstanding citizen.

Oops, I misused two different President Bushes (sic) name. Of course I was referring to the current one George Walker Bush, not the one who is his father and who actually showed up for his military service sober.

Take your blinders off, Bushies. And stop watching Fox News. This stupid selfish power hungry tyrant is not welcome in our city. Oh and you know what? Support the troops, lets get them out of this pointless, ruthless war and bring them back home. I have family and friends over there who are selfless enough to do their duty ang God Bless them for it. I am so sick of people’s complacency.

Wow…that’s AWESOME! I would love to hear his speak. Does anyone know how to find out where this will be hosted?

“Wow…that’s AWESOME! I would love to hear his speak.”……..Vanessa

Sounds like you have been taking English lessons from the man himself.

I don’t disagree that our soldiers should come home, but only when the job’s done. They ARE there for a reason or two; for themselves, they are there because they swore an oath to defend this country against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, and for the rest of us, they are there to ensure that our liberties and freedom remain. I sincerely wish that the world was not such a place to begin with where we do have to go abroad to defend ourselves here at home, but I’d rather be fighting there than here on our own soil. We in the U.S. have, indeed, become complacent. We take for granted the liberties we have, and most of us have never seen the blatant acts of terror that they have seen for generations in countries like Israel, Palestine, etc…where car-bombings, suicide bombers, and senseless mass-killings are commonplace. 9/11 was a wake-up call; or at least it should have been - the problem is that in the the past several years since then, most people have forgotten - because we have done a good enough job to prevent further attacks against us. However, let’s all ask ourselves a question before we demand that we withdraw our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan: What will happen there when we leave, if we leave too soon? Have people not actually considered that they will become a relative safe-haven for terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and the Taliban? What happens when they are able to organize, train, plan, and Allah-willing, execute more acts of terror on the U.S. and any other country they so choose? What happens if we don’t keep that loony President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, at bay? Do you honestly think that he won’t do everything in his power to fund and support terrorist organizations in and around Iraq? Do you think that he won’t continue to develop and, one day, deploy nuclear weapons? And where do you think his second choice will be, with the first being Israel? Maybe the U.S.? The kinds of things that the true terrorist, infidel-hating, jihadists would do if given an opportunity, cannot be imagined by most people. They will stop at nothing to see us all killed and, in my opinion, should be stopped at all costs before they get even a single next chance.

You forget that we were lied to about the reason for going there in the first place. WMD’s. Which obviously do not exist. It is a proven fact that Al Qaeda DID NOT have any operations in Iraq at the time of invasion. By launching a pre-emptive attack on a country that posed no threat to us, we have in turn created an open breeding ground for terrorism. WHY NOT SPEND the 500 BILLION here at home? Regarding Iran, do you think that they have Nukes because W says they do? We saw where that thinking leads us. Regarding Terrorism… You can’t kill an ideology. What are we gonna do? kill every last one of them?

…. Over a million Iraqis dead. Over 4,000 Americans dead. For what? Because Mr. Bush will deny he made a mistake at all costs.

I am afraid you, like so many others, have fallen for the propaganda Mr. Bush and his cronies force feeds us every day. He stands up there with a sheepish grin and lies through his teeth.

Don’t have cable, don’t have satellite, but do know that more people in the world hate this country than ever before. We are in debt to China, who owns most of our debt, and to Iran who has us over a barrel because of our dependence on oil. I voted for George Sr. a decent man. But even he has to be ashamed of the mess this man (George Jr.) has made of our world. I couldn’t be happier for those who have prospered during the past 8 years. But you have to be in a minority and have gotten that way at someone else’s expense. Is it just coincidence that an oil man is in the White House and the price of oil has skyrocketed for the past 8 years? BTW, I once read that George Bush does not invest in the stock market, only treasury bills. When you have as much money as he does, why take the risk? We just have to accept that fact the future generations will pay dearly for what has occurred in the past 8 years. And no one is perfect, so we just have to accept and move on as best we can, dem or rep. Peace to all.

So…….when George comes to St. Louis Friday is he going to discuss why his buddies (who are in the oil businesss)are making $118.00 on a barrel of oil and charging us poor citizens $3.70-to $4.50 per gallon for gasoline? He is suppose to be coming to talk about economics. What does he know about money. He never had to work a regular job in his life. Stupid people like Jennifer and Vanessa making stupid remarks are only just another two people who have no idea what is wrong with our country. I know what is right with our country. It is people who go to work every day to make minimum wage, try to pay for gas to get to their jobs, yes, jobs, because most people can live on minimum wage but have to have two jobs to to pay the bills, like for instance FOOD! I know that some of the things wrong with our country are people who live by government paid rent, like Section 8, illegal aliens who get food stamps, WIC funding, free health care, people who get SSI who don’t deserve it because they get SSI because they have a drug problem, people who say they are disabled but aren’t, people who won’t work and collect unemployment, people who are just too lazy to work or work only long enough to collect un-employment. I am tired of supporting these people. It is time for the workers of America to contact their Congress members and tell them to stop the flow of businesses that move off shore for cheaper labor. It is time to stop all the drug trafficing in America.
It is time to.stop the outflow of companys that move to Mexico, China, India and other countries. At my last comment on economics……..
I think all of you reading these comments know that by Memorial Day our gasoline will cost $4 per gallon for Regular and probably $5 for diesel. By January it will cost $5:50 to $6:50 per gallon..

Just some food for thought here to the masses with BDS:

March 1996 March 2008
1. US Unemployment rate 5.5% 5.1%
2. Number of Long-Term Unemployed 1.33 million 1.28 Million
3. Average Weeks Unemployed 17.3 weeks 16.2 weeks
4. Medium weeks unemployed 8.3 weeks 8.1 weeks
5. Not in labor force, discouraged over prospects 451,000 401,000
6. Dems call for Extended unemployment benefits NO YES
7. Presidents Party Affiliation Democrat Republican

Now, Si Vis …. You know it isn’t fair to use comparisons when people are bashing the president!!

Especially when using factual data that refutes their arguments!

Meanwhile, the military death toll during the NON-warring years (Clinton administration) still exceeds the military death toll under the Bush administration, during a time of war.

I love how these people seem to link everything bad to one person, as if the president has anything to do with the price of oil. And the one griping about Western Union closing doors here … wasn’t it Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA?

And I won’t even go into the idiot that decided he had to drop the F bomb in his comments, here … shows us all what the world is up against, doesn’t it?

What was a dollar worth? A barrel of oil? A home in St. Louis County? A loaf of bread? A gallon of gas/milk? You can’t win this one with old numbers. BTW Jim and Si Vis using twelve year old data that is statistically the same hardly proves your point. THINGS ARE SUPPOSED TO GET BETTER! EINSTEIN. Jim, shame on you for supporting a nitwit like the Latin boy, I agree about the F bomb clown. Latin boy stick to your computer and rave at the walls in your basement!

Please let me know where our President will be in St. Louis. He is a fine man, and has done a great job in so many things, but keeping war from our shores is at the top of the list. A man of faith, he is on the right track for our country. There is so much we can do to maintain our freedom and our American way of life We as citizens of this great country must help rather than criticize. When our country was embroiled in WWII, folks didn’t criticize our President, they got on board to do what they could do even on the homefront. It was a united effort to do what needed doing including sacrificing a bit. I am proud of our Country, our Servicemen and the job they are doing. I am proud of our President George W. Bush our Commander and Chief, and I would very much like to welcome our President to St. Louis, on Friday.

Deleted a comment by “Dustin” for foul and obscene language. Sorry that I didn’t catch it earlier.

Let’s follow the rules, folks.

“Meanwhile, the military death toll during the NON-warring years (Clinton administration) still exceeds the military death toll under the Bush administration, during a time of war.
Jim (the republican)”

I refer you to the following link: http://rodhafemeister.wordpress.com/category/military/

To summarize quickly, according Rod Haefmeister:
“Here’s the truth: According to the Pentagon’s official figures, 7,500 active duty service members died between 1993 and 2000, the eight years of the Bill Clinton administration. During the first six years of the George W. Bush administration, 2001 through 2006, 8,989 active duty service members died — 1,489 more than under Clinton, even though the Bush total covers two fewer years.”

Also, you forget that in the Clinton years, the was the war in Kosovo and Serbia, not to mention our various support actions via NATO. Plus you are not distinguishing between combat related fatalities and fatalities that occur due to training exercises (ie the infamous BlackHawk helicopter crashes prior to their deployment).

Lastly, Bush isn’t done yet.

Gabe, maybe you should be out looking for a job instead of protesting.

Are you folks really that dumb? Yelling at a guy who cares nothing about you while you have no job isn’t going to advance your cause. You would be better served filling out a dozen applications and trying to make yourself productive.

WHY DOES THIS PRESIDENT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMY ? HE’S HAD EIGHT YEARS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT…AND IF HIS COLLEAGUE FROM THE GOP WIN THE PRESIDENCY. IT’S GOING TO BE ANOTHER FOUR YEARS OF THE SAME OLD THING. CONGRATULATIONS! TO ALL THE THE RICH AND THE WELL TO DO PEOPLE, BECAUSE YOU WILL BE THE ONLY ONES THAT WILL REAP THE BENEFITS OF THE GOP PARTY. WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR THE WORKING MIDDLE-CLASS? NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING.

What do people do who are oppressed by their government and lead by a tyrant? Historically they take to the streets, they protest, they make their voices heard they revolt. This is not China we have a right, in fact an obligation as American’s to scream at our leaders to stop the madness. BTW, on the comment “keeping the war out of our backyard” — Hello 911! - Bush was President then! Secondly - Iraq had nothing to do with 911. Thirdly, where is Bin Ladin- the real enemy ? Not in Iraq, so why are we there? Keeping your head in the sand so you can’t see the truth, does not mean the truth is not around obvious.

MY CHILDREN WI LL NEVER GO AND FIGHT FOR THIS SENSELESS WAR. WHILE THEY ARE OVER THEIR DYING FOR A LIE. I WILL BE LAYING ON THE BEACH ENJOYING THE SUN.
