Crowd-pleaser

Backed by a gigantic Social Security card, President Bush charmed a Fargo audience of nearly 8,000 Thursday during a casual and rather jovial conversation about the future of America's retirees.......


......But people on both sides of the political aisle generally agreed Bush seemed at home on the Fargo stage, at times working the crowd like a stand-up-comedian........
....On Social Security -- his real reason for making the North Dakota stop -- Bush seemed to soothe the crowd with his plan for personal retirement accounts, occasionally pointing to two charts flanking the stage........

1. The crowd was handpicked as usual

Maybe you've missed the articles on how any of those in the area who were vocal and disagreed with him were black listed and not allowed to attend.

I urge everyone to contact their DC reps and express total disapproval of this SS scheme where the only winners are the Wall Street investment firms.

2. Yeah, I saw some of this...

He couldn't even explain the plan, he was shooting off figures and then said at least I think it goes like that, doesn't it go like that? It better go like that...He didn't even know how the plan works...
