w's Focus
w, at a press conference today, speaks on the presidential campaign and his focus:
�We're arming, raising money to wage a campaign. And there will be an appropriate time for me to engage politically; that is, in the public forum.�Which is why it must not have been him out doing this:�To me, there's a difference between that and actually engaging potential opponents in a public discourse in a debate. And there will be ample time for that. There will be ample time to differentiate views and to defend records in the face of political criticism. And I know that the campaign has started for some, in terms of the public debate from a political perspective. It just hadn't for me yet.�
�I'm focused on the security of the American people, working with Congress to get a Medicare bill and an energy bill.�
If you had the time and money to trot around the country to attend all of President Bush's recent fundraising speeches, you'd find him both scaring and reassuring his listeners about terrorists.Yes, I know this isn't unique to w. clinton, bush sr, etc., all abused their position as president to engage in fundraising efforts. I just wish they wouldn't lie about what they are focused on and wouldn't rip off the tax payers to fund these jaunts. Posted by Steve on October 28, 2003
