Bush's First U.S. Speech Scheduled For June 17



http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/03/11/bushs-first-us-speech-sch_n_173851.html

Former President George W. Bush will give his first post-presidency U.S. speech in Erie, Pa., on June 17 to the Manufacturer & Business Association, Politico reports. They add that domestic speeches will be announced soon, and that some of the event will be open to media coverage. The former president's first speech will be March 17, in Calgary, Canada. That speech will reportedly be closed to the media.

Christian Darbyshire of tinePublic, the group organizing the event, says news outlets won't be able to listen to Bush's lunchtime speech at the Telus Convention Centre. "It's actually been closed to the media," says Darbyshire. The Calgary event, called "A Conversation with George W. Bush," will be the former president's first public speech since leaving the White House in January. A table for 10 at the private event costs $4,000.

The invitation for the Calgary speech says Bush will discuss "his eight momentous years in the Oval Office" and "the challenges facing the world in the 21st century."

We got to hear it for free for 8 years and now we have to pay to hear it?

Wonder if he would shut up for $4,000? :rofl:

[DemoTex]

14. That 8 years was free? I think not!

We paid dearly for every word that petulant, puling man-child slurred-out for eight long years.

15. "Manufacturer & Business Association"

From the MBS website:

“It is truly an honor and a privilege to have President Bush speak at our Annual Event,” said Association President Ralph Pontillo. “President Bush is a principled leader who kept America safe and promoted liberty abroad. Our members look forward to hearing President Bush’s thoughts on his eight momentous years in the Oval Office and his outlook on the challenges facing the world in the 21st century.”

If I read one more idiot praising the Chimp for keeping us safe from Islamic terrorism (while in the meantime, he and his administration was destroying us from within by domestic economic terrorism) I think that I will hurl.

:puke:

The "manufacturing" portion of that association must have become much smaller, considering that the US lost nearly 4,000,000 manufacturing jobs to China alone during Chimpy's 8 years in office. And yet, they look forward for him to speak about the "challenges" facing the world in the 21st century??

There are still so many in this country, who have gullible admiration of criminal frauds like Bush.
