Bush uses a 911 memorial to raise money for his campaign

[zulchzulu]

Bush grabbed a spade and shoveled some dirt around the site of 911 in NYC at a memorial and wiped a tear away.

He then proceeded over to the other side of the park to quickly raise a cool $1.6 million to fuel more lies and attacks on Kerry in his presidential bid.

Tell me that he's not using 911 to exploit his run for president...

1. You know.....

Thanks to the media Bush can exploit 911 all he wants because the so-called "liberal" media does not hold him accountable for his actions before 911 that led us to a 911 and the day of 911.

3. That's not even in NYC

I think he's afraid to come into the city.

That's out on Long Island - a memorial they're building out there.

Money in his coffers, but no dirt on his shoes
Jimmy Breslin
March 11, 2004

For days now, the job at Eisenhower Park in Nassau County has been to follow the order from the White House through the Secret Service and down to the park workers:

"The president's feet are not to touch the dirt."

So all yesterday, large crews drawn from all county parks worked to ensure that, as always in his life, George Bush's feet do not touch the ground when he appears in the big park today.

Bush arrives for a fund-raiser at a restaurant in the park. That is indoors and he doesn't have to worry about his feet there. But he has to go over ground to an administration building where he is to meet with families of 9/11 victims. After that, he has to go over more ground to get to the site of a memorial to the victims.

He doesn't want his feet on the ground and he will be at a groundbreaking ceremony.

The 9/11 memorial is not up. Someday it will be a site by a pond. What happened was that Bush was coming in for this big fund-raiser. The county executive, Suozzi, a Democrat, heard about it and rushed an invitation to Bush to be at the dedication to the memorial and also to meet the 9/11 families. <more>

5. Contrast this with all the photo-ops of him...

... playing rancher. It's about time that Gee-Dubya gets a new career, like mucking out stables (karmic justice)--after all, he's qualified--he's been slinging shit for years.
