3. CLASSIC putdown. NO stand, no hand out, no removal of hat.

I'm amazed that picture got out.

:) That's very telling, I think. (And is it just me, or does the guy look like he wants to spit in Bush's face?) :shrug:

The ‘Lame Duck’ Label
With a series of media events, President Bush is working hard to avoid the negative tag as he enters the last two years of his presidency.

Jan. 31, 2007 - On Tuesday, President Bush popped in for a surprise visit to the Sterling Family Restaurant, a homey diner in Peoria, Ill. It’s a scene that has been played out many times before by this White House and others: a president mingling among regular Americans, who, no matter what they might think of his policies, are usually humbled and shocked to see the leader of the free world standing 10 feet in front of them.

But on Tuesday, the surprise was on Bush. In town to deliver remarks on the economy, the president walked into the diner, where he was greeted with what can only be described as a sedate reception. No one rushed to shake his hand. There were no audible gasps or yelps of excitement that usually accompany visits like this. Last summer, a woman nearly fainted when Bush made an unscheduled visit for some donut holes at the legendary Lou Mitchell’s Restaurant in Chicago. In Peoria this week, many patrons found their pancakes more interesting. Except for the click of news cameras and the clang of a dish from the kitchen, the quiet was deafening.

“Sorry to interrupt you,” Bush said to a group of women, who were sitting in a booth with their young kids. “How’s the service?” As Bush signed a few autographs and shook hands, a man sitting at the counter lit a cigarette and asked for more coffee. Another woman, eyeing Bush and his entourage, sighed heavily and went back to her paper. She was reading the obituaries. “Sorry to interrupt your breakfast,” a White House aide told her. “No problem,” she huffed, in a not-so-friendly way. “Life goes on, I guess.”

8. If he can't prove to cheney how indespensible he is to the 'team'...
he is despensible. Look at that face, he seems to have figured out that he is about to be benched.

9. Peoria, Decatur, Springfield........
A whole region of farmers and factory workers w/o work. Winky Dink would be wise to keep his hands to himself. I wonder what I would do with the opportunity offered to this gentleman.

16. remember these folks' necks be suntanned.
for them to show ill manners to a GOP president is unheard of. Reagan is a god to many of them. Springpatch is a hot bed of conservative values. I know, I have family there, and they and their many friends look at me as an alien.
