HONOLULU (Reuters) - After seven days of high-stakes Asian diplomacy, President Bush stopped in Hawaii on Thursday to honor Pearl Harbor survivors, catch up on the World Series and raise money for his own reelection campaign, declaring, "I'm glad to be home." snip

In the question-and-answer session that followed, Bush was stumped by student Darrel Florence, who wanted to know the White House's square-feet. Bush called it "a big place" with "many floors." snip

But there was no "mission accomplished" banner like the one on the USS Abraham Lincoln in May when Bush landed on the aircraft carrier wearing a flight suit and declared major combat operations over, only to see Iraq erupt into postwar violence.

On Thursday night, before departing for Washington, Bush was to tap donors in a state with its first Republican governor in decades, Linda Lingle. It was to be part of his drive for a record $170 million for his Republican primary campaign, in which he has no challengers.

3. What's with this "postwar violence" sh_t ???

... postwar means the war is OVER,

like when a country surrenders, or signs a peace treaty or cease-fire - no ??

I think sumone is using this "postwar" thing to further brainwash the Murikkkan shepples

Guess my dumm Canuk brain don't work that way

The war AIN'T over, it's still in it's incubation stage

(sigh)

6. "Blue Hawaii" isn't just a movie...or a cocktail!

The 50th State is still solid Blue on the map of Democratic strongholds!

So, I hope Junior met lotsa protestors...and, few donors willing to pony up for his illicit campaign to further dismantle democracy in Amerika!

Mahalo, Hawaii!

:dem:

8. THAT IS ALL THIS GUY CAN DO!

The only thing he has is war, war memorials, fear, divisive politics, stupid GREED, mindless arrogant hostility toward anything progressive.

IT IS ALLLLLLL HE IS ABOUT!
