Think about it. In California yesterday the citizenry prevented Bush's helicopter from landing at the designated site. Wouldn't it be funny if his aircraft was just kept up in the air in that manner and had to divert to Mexico or Canada? The Man Without a Country.

7. How could anyone believe that Bush would change his plans
to avoid seeing protestors? That's preposterous!

:sarcasm:

9. Thank you for the link
President Bush's visit to Stanford University's Hoover Institution was quickly moved to another location after more than 1,000 protesters converged around the Hoover tower.

The White House said the protesters blocked the only road into the central areaof the campus where Hoover is located, which forced a meeting with several Hoover fellows to be moved to the campus home of former Secretary of State George Shultz, a Hoover fellow who organized the gathering.

The motorcade instead traveled to the house, which is on the outer edge of campus.

Protesters said they were disappointed that the President would not see them and accused the President of sneaking around to avoid them

11. Are you kidding? It would be like that movie with Bette Midler
where she was kidnapped for ransome and the husband wouldn't pay. We couldn't be that lucky.

8. What a delicious thought.
However, I would let him be refueled in mid-air with enough gas to get him to Saudi Arabia. I'm sure his buddies the shieks would let him land.

10. He's our problem. We don't have a right to dump him off onto
some other Country.
