Bush to Speak to Republican Convention
September 01, 2008 10:56 PM
ABC’s George Stephanopoulos reports: After skipping the opening day of the Republican National Convention to personally check the emergency response to Hurricane Gustav, President George W. Bush will keep his appointment with the party faithful.
Bush will speak to the RNC Tuesday in St. Paul, one day after the convention opened to an abbreviated schedule due to the storm.
Hurricane Gustav hit the Gulf Coast almost three years to the day after Hurricane Katrina devastated the area, and left deep political wounds on Bush and his administration.
Eager to demonstrate the lessons learned from the Katrina criticism, Bush visited evacuee centers in Texas today. And Republican candidate John McCain spent the day at a disaster relief agency in Ohio and packed boxes of cleaning supplies to be sent to the relief effort.
After a day off to focus on the storm, the party will resume in St Paul with a complete convention program Tuesday.
Speakers expected in the primetime schedule, 10-11 pm ET, include: Sen. Joe Lieberman, Independent of Connecticut and Al Gore's 2000 campaign runningmate on the Democratic ticket, and former Sen. Fred Thompson of R-Tenn.

How much did Racist Obama have to pay Rev Wright to put a muzzle on his racist mouth

Over a year the media sat on the story that Obama attended the WHITE HATE church for over 20 years. This would of changed the election in IOWA with out a doubt. But less than a week for them to report a teenager got pregnant. This proves why they did not report the sex scandal that J Edwards had. The media is so far left they are sicking

hamburter,
Wow, a lot of sour grapes there buddy...
You are off subject there though. We are all talking about McDummy's pick for VP, Sarah Beauty Queen Palin!!
She is the laughing stock around all of America's water coolers and the gift that just keeps on giving!!
We LOVE HER!!!

Hamburter,
Why don't you stop making your stupid and meaningless racist comments you damn biggot. It is too bad that McCain is going to lose by a landslide. You will get over it in due course.

The levees aren't holding up well. There was plenty of time, 3 years, to address the problem. But of course, there's enormous relief that the losses and problems were far from some expectations. I'm very happy to hear George Bush will be at the RNC, and I hope sincerely that Cheney will show also.

what happened to all that experience talk? oh thats right your talking points have been lambasted because now you realize your guy made a vp on a political gamble, a political gimmick... and after months of the attacks the message that the campaign has polished for you people was completley over written by such a crazy vp pick.
I mean its not bad enough that he just seemed to wake up one day and pick the vp for his candidacy (this shows judgment i might remind you), but at least he could have had SOME vetting done before the pick... like maybe on wednesday he could have done some digging around instead of... well today

Martin Luther King was a Republican and would be ashamed of Obama and the media playing the RACE CARD
Posted by: Dr. M. | Sep 1, 2008 11:42:15 PM
I am so racist i have to attend RACIST ANNOUNOYMOUS. Its sort of like AAA for drinkers. Oh i just don;t get it.
Posted by: bhrandon | Sep 1, 2008 11:44:35 PM
And i really mean i just don;t get it. I like to practice early withdraw with sex like we dummycrats want to practice in IRAQ. Thats why we just don't get it how PALIN teen daughter could get pregnant. Woman hate us for practicing early withdraw

CNN just had Obama on their network responding to what people have been saying ... that he has less executive experience than Palin ...
CNN is not a trustworthy channel. I was told that for many years but I did not believe that. I used to watch CNN everyday ... it is NOW that I understand what my colleagues have been telling me.
They have told me that CNN would pose issues with questions as if they were seeking the truth. But what they present after that is all one sided ... e.g in this election, everything they say is PRO-OBAMA.
So tune CNN OFF ... I now tune to FOX NEWS ... and instead of being a Rush Limbaugh critic which I was for years, CNN has turned me into a Rush Limbaugh listener ... IMAGINE THAT ... !!!
And do you wonder why statistics show Rush Limbaugh's radio show is gaining in listeners every year ... Rush Limbaugh, you have CNN to thank for that .

I guess I will miss it. I will however try and catch the pro liberty rally headed by Dr. Paul on C-Span. I'm sure it will be more intellectually stimulating.

I do not trust anybody that says Obama is scummy trash like he really is

If you want to post a comment, be brave enough to be yourself ...
stop pretending to be ImagineThat ..

You, bloggers, should be aware that there are people posting remarks using the names of others ...

The Republicans had 7 years to catch Bin Laden and they couldn't do that right. He's in a cave in Afghanistan and not in Iraq...
Nice promise Bush...'Wanted Dead or Alive'...whatever...time for the Dems to take a shot at getting him...
Posted by: Roger | Sep 2, 2008 12:02:42 AM
I voted for Clinton, I even voted for Kerry .. and I am a Republican... I would have voted for Hillary ...
But now, I am voting MCCAIN/Palin ...
CNN does turn me off as well ....
Glad to stand with the Republicans this time around. Obamamania is so totally senseless, baseless. It is just totally crazy .. As if we have all lost our minds.
The fireworks display, the greek stage, the open arena with 70,000 , the euphoria over what? The Democrats are heralding someone who has done nothing really ...

Its great to hear that our honorable president will participate in the RNC, he has done a great job thru the years in keeping us as safe as possible, my hat is off for the man. Thank you kindly Mr. President for your integrity and sound judgement, I would have voted for you again if it were possible.
About NoBama, well, is not about him being kinda' black, is about little or no experience. McCain sweeps the floor with Hussein's experience. Okay, I also admit that I will never vote for anything even remotely connected to islam. I hate islam and Ayatollah crap and koran crap and Muhamad crap.
IN GOD WE TRUST
