(May 20, 2005) — The White House has confirmed that President George Bush will be coming here Tuesday to discuss changes he wants to make in Social Security.

“The president will travel to the Rochester area May 24 to participate in a conversation on strengthening Social Security,” said White House spokesman Ken Lisaius.

No further details about the visit were available from the White House.

Meanwhile, Greece officials are preparing for the stop from Bush at Greece Athena High School, where he is expected to talk about his Social Security plan.

This year, Bush has traveled to about 25 states to push his controversial plan to overhaul Social Security. According to sources, this would be his first stop in New York state on the topic. In most visits, Bush has held town hall-style meetings.

Social Security has been Bush’s top domestic issue during his second term He wants to allow future retirees to divert some of their payroll taxes into personal retirement accounts.

U.S. Rep. Thomas Reynolds, R-Clarence, Erie County, is helping the White House coordinate the event.

Greece police are already planning security detail. Greece Police Chief Merritt Rahn and members of the U.S. Secret Service walked through the school yesterday.

Rahn said the president’s security would be a coordinated effort among the Secret Service, the FBI, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, Greece Police and possibly Rochester police officers.

Federal and local officials also have met to discuss security at the Greater Rochester International Airport.

4. Was anybody at this event?

On Channel 7 in Buffalo it seemed as though Rochester had adopted The Blivet as their saint and savior. Say it ain't so! You don't really love him there do you?

They did mention in passing that 3 were arrested, Please tell me it wasn't such a "love fest". Tell me that the three were backed by many and the news just "filtered" a far different reality.

Please tell me this.

Unless it is a lie.

5. LIES!!!!!!!!!

None of our network affiliates were there, the bastards! They made the whole broadcast (On all stations) look like we are a bunch of drooling Bush saps. :grr:

There were over 1200 people at the rally--it was phenomenal. Nobody got arrested at our demonstration, either. Those people were kind of having a sit-in on the motorcade route, um...in the middle of the street. Sorry but if you want to see how Rochester really feels, you'll have to see it on independent media. Our regular stations are part of the machine.

I know I shouldn't be shocked but one of the stations actually had a special on tonight--I'm not kidding--about the "presidential visit" and how the debate (I swear) about Social Security should be left for another time, and we should enjoy--are you ready? the pomp and circumstance.
