World Wide Technologies gets second chance at Bush visit
President George W. Bush plans to make good on a promise made last fall, by rescheduling for Friday a tour of the corporate headquarters of World Wide Technology, Inc. in Maryland Heights.
The visit will include a speech by Bush on the economy, which is slated to be delivered at the firm’s warehouse.
Neither event will be open to the general public.
Bush had planned to visit the company last October, but cancelled the stop so that he could travel instead to California, which at the time was battling huge wildfires.
As my colleague in our Washington Bureau, Bill Lambrecht, reports on the mother ship: “World Wide, a privately held company with about $2.5 billion in sales last year, is an information technology company that provides both hardware and services for its clients.”
Yep It”s Still the Economy Stupid! After his blaming of Congress for Oil Prices——-where’s the PROTEST going to be held We need to be there? See ya friends
George W. Bush will be surrounded by TIGHT security for the rest of his exsistence.
I do not hate him for his freedom. he has none!
What do you get when you add the worst president to date with the worst company in the world? Lies, lies, lies. George W. Bush 71% unapproval rate and World Wide Technology the most racist company known. These two make a perfect fit for they both will lie and as you will see both are on their way out.
Bush is on his way out so he could care less about whats going on with the economy. I mean we are in this mess now because of bad judgement calls he and his staff made. Just look at Bush in his so called attempt with the people of Katrinia. kayne said it best , “Bush do not like black people”, and neither does World Wide technology.
Bush needs to go away and just shut up. Look gas and food prices are on the rise but not wages. Jobs are going overseas and unemployment has risen too. We need a long term goal not something that will put us back in the poor house. Will this ever happen, who knows for Bush term is almost up so why should he care, hell just leave it for the next man or woman to clean up. Texas you can not be proud. Also why would he even do a scheduled meeting discussing economy topics with a company that bleeds its employees dry and have no respect for its employees.
I’m unsure where the comments regarding WWT about being racist are coming from! Why don’t you do some research and you will see the company was started by an Afican American man and runs the best company I’ve ever had the pleasure of working for! Unfortunately I was laid off awhile ago but to this day still miss being there! Racist???? Whatever…
This is for you CK and the comment you made about World Wide. Most know that a black man founded the company but take a deep look inside and tell me what you see? Do not know if you are white, black, hispanic, or asian but how many minorities compared to white people do you see working there. Mighty funny that this is a black so called owned company that does not promote its own people to key positions. The company by the way is 92% white did you know that? The owner is a fraud using his minority status only to gain the loans and contracts of being a minority business owner gets you. Have plenty of friends who happen to be black, hispanic, and asian that will vouch for me on that in it being a true statement. You need to do your homework , for if you did you would see that they are being sued for job discrimination amongst oter things.
oh by the way my friends happenend to work their so of course I did my homework.
What, Bush visited world wide is that true if so wish I was there to give them a piece of mind. It figures a black man that is a republican that ownes a company who happens to support bush and his politics. Bush is the reason why the economy is the way that it is. Wonder if Bush knew that world wide is being sued for accusing an employee of sexual harassment and job discrimination? Bet he did no wonder he supports this company and decided to do his speech for no other company would have dared.
No love for either bush or world wide
The world is in a crisis and we as people need to learn that greed will kill us all. I listened to bush speech as much as I could, well I say 2 minutes of it and realized one thing how phony can he be. This president and his banned of misfits have done nothing but put this country to shame. High gas prices, high food prices, hell everything has gone up. When will we adapt the concept that God has set forth. When the Lord said, “If you love material things in this world then you have no love for me”. We suppose to be the most powerful country in the world but you see what power can do, and thats turn its back on our own without any concern. Please no more Bush Politics ever again..
For this company world wide technology wanted to be fair so I looked up the good and the bad of this company. I see that they are a black owned company and have done a lot for the black communities, and strive for new information technology, creates jobs and thats cool and all, but can it be as I have seen that this company is a fraud. Read that they have a lawsuit against them for racial discrimination and the suits are by some black men. Read what one person said, and just because a person happens to be black does not mean he or she can not discriminate against their own kind. Sometimes just because something looks good does not mean its good. Not here to pass judgement but one thing is for sure discrimination exist in most companies for some people will never change.
