Yes, the rumors are true. I had the opportunity to ask our president a question today.

First, it began with a statement. Sorry, but I don't remember it exactly ----- Mr. President, my son-in-law recently returned from a cruise on the USS ENTERPRISE. He wants you to know that everyone on that ship, down to the last man and woman, is proud to call you their commander in chief.

He smiled and the crowd gave a huge standing O.

Then one of the event helpers tried to take away the microphone. I politely said no, I hadn't gotten to ask my question.

"Mr. President, now for my question. After you send Tommy Daschle to his room for being bad, please tell us how you plan to end our nation's dependence on foreign oil."

What a fun time and a great right wing audience!

After you send Tommy Daschle to his room ...

I could have sworn that I heard you say "...little Tommy Daschle...".

[doug from upland]

I might have said little.

[TLBSHOW]

Big bump

[doug from upland]

He did not take the opportunity to comment on Daschle but it was teed up for him to present the highlights of his energy policy.

We thought that was you! Good job doug

[doug from upland]

Yes, I saw that thread.

[centexan]

Good on ya, Doug. Great job!

[finnman69]

You are the MAN! God bless you for providing the FUNNIEST political bitchslap to be ever broadcast on TV. Bush's line about 'over my dead body' on taxes and your 'sending Tommy to his room' where the two soundbytes picked up by the national media.

[backhoe]

Very proud, of you, and for you, doug- I just missed seeing that on TV!

[ao98]

Outstanding work. We are patiently waiting for pictures and a short description of the event.

[beckett]

Great job.

[RGSpincich]

Cool. I thought that was what caught my attention and gave your comment a familiar ring.

[Defender2]

As soon as I saw you're face I knew it was you, Doug!!!!Freepers are Everywhere!!!!:-)

[Hang'emAll]

Way to go! I knew it was a Freeper by the question. If not, I thought, he should be.

The speech was a moving one for me and your comments and the Chaplin's comments on our servicemen just threw it over the top. Thanks for being there.

Glad you were there where the rest of us would have liked to have been -- in the presence of a great man. Thanks for the comment that produced a standing ovation from the crowd. And thanks for putting "little" Tommy Daschle in his place.

[Always Right]

VH-1 is gonna air the speech tonight too, with a few minor changes. VH-1 replaced the Standing ovation with the boos that they cut from the Hillary speech.
