DFU TALKS TO PRESIDENT AND SENDS DASCHLE TO HIS ROOM
dfu on the scene | 1-5-01 | DFU

Posted on 01/05/2002 11:06:05 AM PST by doug from upland

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!

Doug, I say you did NOT say "little". And I'm glad of it, because IMO "sending Tommy to his room for being bad" was all it took. More would've been gratuitous. Congrats!!!!!

I am in complete awe of you! That was wonderful-your opening comment (regarding you son-in-law) that brought deep emotion to our President (the ol jaw tightening thing men do, brought huge applause from the audience, and lifted the hearts of folks like myself out here in middle America, ) then your tommy daschel comment, oh DOUG, you laid it out with that comment so perfectly that I imagine tommy and his flying monkey troops, including the chief witch and war room junkie herself, will NEVER, EVER, FORGET IT!

Methinks you pissed off a rather insidious group of liberal thugs today, Doug, on National TV-GOD BLESS YOU! :^) And I could swear a brief twinge of a smile escaped our President as you framed the question about tommy "haskel". He walked away to hide it, I think! But he LOVED the meat of your question and I LOVE YOU for doing such a 100% tremendous job! You both lifted up and heartened our President and you managed to jab someone who is a thorn in our President's side (because Haskel in not honorable, no honest, and wants to twart bi-partisanship almost as much as our President wants to encourage it). MANY MANY KUDOS DOUG-this will be my favorite FReeper event for a LONG LONG time to come. I hope I get to meet cha someday .... as I said, I am in awe! Hugs, smooches and eagles way, way up! Conservative men RULE!

I only got in on the end of his speech. Would have loved to see you and hear your question. Do you know if the speech will be rerun?

Yes, I admit it.

I wasn't dreaming!! Unfortunately foxnews broke for a station break so we didn't get to hear what you said. When another fellow spoke and said "I too am honored to call you our Commander in Chief" I filled in the blanks and understood why Dubya seemed deeply touched. The audience was with him from the onset and everyone was flawed when Dubya said 'they will raise your taxes over my dead body' which seems to be the sound bite we will hear throughout the day.

I don't blame him for not answering the first part....but I am sure Bush DID enjoy hearing it asked in any case...:) The reason why I think he did not answer is that he only gets tough in extreme cases and while this would qualify in my book, he only uses his ammo when it REALLY gets awful. Also, he just does not want the country to have to see an AP story saying "Bush bashes Daschle and Daschle returns barbs" or stuff like that. I hope he did answer the second part of the question though....he better have answered that since there is no excuse on that one....:)

94. ""after you send Tommy Daschle to his room for doing something bad,"
please explain how you are going to end our dependence on foreign oil?" "...therefore we need to explore, we can do it in an environmentally friendly way,...we need to take care of our friends in Mexico to make sure they have enough natural gas....new fuel cell technology...it's comin'...go ahead and yell it out, if I don't like the question, I'll change it...(audience member-I'm proud to have you as my CIC-"how can you tell us to effectively pray for you and your family?) "Pray for a shield of protection to protect our country. So there is a spiritual shield.) Child saying that he is proud of the way that he handled the country on Sept. 11. Get ready for the "what a bad pilot" quote-Goddamn, he said he saw the first plane hit the building again!!!

Not for "doing something bad," it's "for being bad."

The RAT underground can't get anything right.
