Well Freepers, President Bush is on his way to my fair city this morning. I'm at a 17th floor window across the street from Benton Convention Center, where he will be having a fund-raising lunch in about 2 hours...currently watching the Secret Service guys walk the perimeter. Should make for an interesting day.

Take good care of the President!

[BTW: Are you planning to counterFREEP the losers who will be bussed in to protest the President?]

Keep us posted!

Hope he gets some good BBQ while he's there. Has Rove "selected" a candidate to vie for Edwards seat?

Braved the crowd of protestors to go get lunch. The line I found the most telling about the crowd: "If other people don't pay their taxes, I don't get my retirement benefits."

Funniest line (heard at 12:20; Bush arrived at 11:30): "Man, he's already in the building." Evidently the protestors didn't know anything about today's logistics. They're claiming to have 2000 people here; looks more like 200-300 to me. There are Bush supporters here too. It will be interesting to see how it's reported in the news.
