Bush "Bus Tour" A Fraud
Just like his "election" in 2000. Check this out.
"Tuesday's bus tour, about 60 miles through western Ohio, actually includes two airplane flights — one from Detroit to Toledo and another from Toledo to Dayton. His first two stops — Maumee and Dayton — are in counties Al Gore won in 2000. The last two stops — Lebanon and Cincinnati — are in counties that Bush won easily."
Two airplane flights. And sixty miles does not a bus tour make. Good lord.
"Getting out of Washington helps the president avoid the fate of his father, former President George H.W. Bush, who took heat during his race with Bill Clinton in 1992 for not having rapport with regular people. The first thing Bush did at stops in Michigan was to take off his suit coat."
Now that's having rapport with the people! A quick George W Bush recap: his life involves, but is not limited to being born into luxury; having one's attendance guaranteed at fine and expensive preparatory schools, Yale, and Harvard, despite less-than-mediocre academic performance; getting put at the top of a 500-man waiting list to get into the Texas Air National Guard to guarantee his not going to Vietnam; being unaccountably absent from military duty and paying no consequences; being given a string of cushy jobs because of family connections, despite repeated demonstrations of astonishing incompetence; refusing to appear before non-screened crowds, and so on.
But taking of his damn suit coat--that's establishing ties with the commoners, isn't it?
As a side note, what is this woman teaching, anyway:
"Tiffany Adamski, a community college professor from nearby Toledo, said Bush will win Ohio if he remains resolute. 'Strong stances on the issues — he needs to stick with them,' Adamski said. 'The opposition turns around and changes again.'"
It doesn't matter if you're dead wrong, as long as you don't admit that you're dead wrong. Apparently, this woman never had one of her parents ask her the old chestnut about everyone else jumping off a bridge. As long as the first person was "resolute," it looks like Ms. Adamski would not have a problem with playing lemming.
