Interesting about the pen. After going to the International Spy
Museum, I can guess why! Makes sense in a way but kind of ironic with
all the "leak" stuff going on right now (sorry, no pun intended). By
ironic I mean they can't even stop their high level people from giving
a CIA leak and they're worried about a pen. LOL

Anyway, Bush was here this mornign speaking at Chrysler Hall. I didn't
post ahead of time because it was "invite only". News had it that
Bush doesn't want anymore negativity, so most of his speeches now are
closed and only offered to "supporters". One protestor got in though
and was taken away by secret service.

It may be me, but shouldn't one be speaking to people who DON'T
support you to try to convince them and convert them to your side?
Hubby said he doesn't have to prove anything because he can't be
re-elected, but would you want to go down in history as the person
with the lowest poll points? Cracks me up. Bush sucks.

I heard the reporters were the only ones allowed on the tarmack.
Doubtful anyone inside got a graph, but was wondering about it......

Also, one autograph question. Why is it he signed autographs once in
a blue moon by lately none at all? I know time is an issue of course,
but are autographs something the press secretary or others "arrange"
in his scehdule?????? Just curious.

By the way, I think after he's out of office, he'll write a book and
will be coming to a bookseller near you (so his perception will change
and he won't go down in history as the most idiotic President we've
ever known).

Every time Bush has spoken in this area, it has been by invitation only
and they run a background check before you even have any chance of
getting in. It's been that way with him as long as he has been in
office. I've heard of one or two people who got autographs from him,
but it was arranged through Secret Service agents at the event and you
had to use a pen that they provided. You could not even furnish your
own pen.
