WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush is promoting his message of an improving economy in West Virginia, a state he narrowly won in 2000 and where Democrats are taking him to task for lost jobs.

Bush visits Friday, the same day the government releases national unemployment data for March. He is to appear on a college campus for the second time in the past week-and-a-half to promote his ``Jobs for the 21st Century'' program.

1. here in huntington

where he'll be in a few hours (barf) people were way more excited about kerry's visit a couple of weeks ago than this fool's visit. of course, it's a hand-picked audience. no protesting allowed. i figure the best thing to do is just ignore him until he's gone, then bring out the fumigators......

8. Were any freepers protesting against John Kerry when in West Virgina?

I hope you make it noisy for junior and I hope you attract much attention.

2. pRes is in West Virginia looking for a job ???? Are there

openings for spatula operator?

[yellowcanine]

11. Yes and also there may be several dill pickle specialist openings

as well as several sanitation coordinator positions. Also one opening for Weedwacker Operator with opportunity for promotion to Rotary Mower Operator but the work is seasonal and you have to supply your own uniform and transportation. Your chances of actually getting hired improve if your brother-in-law is the foreman.

6. When I saw the headline

I thought, oh my goddess, he's after what few jobs we have left here!

7. Shouldn't he be going to Bangalore or Delhi?

Isn't that where all the JOBS are going?

Oh, I forget, the Bush Pioneers get on the blower and tell us it's a Good Thing that our jobs are leaving. We just need expensive "retraining"...

I don't buy it. I learned how to flip a burger 30 years ago. I haven't forgotten how to do it.

9. What: does WV have too many jobs?

Does he want to get rid of them?

[CrownPrinceBandar]

10. I've been planning on sending Kerry an email...

to urge him to come to WV more often. Like someone said in an earlier thread, Gore made a huge mistake not spending more time in, and attention on WV. I realize that we only have 5 electoral votes, but WV used to be a Democratic stronghold, and Dems still outnumber Rebubs roughly 2 to 1. Like it or not, WV has become an important swing state.

Come back to WV Sen. Kerry!!!!
