Bush is President (GK: Garrison Keillor, TR: Tim Russell, SS: Sue Scott, TK: Tom Keith)
…but first, this message from the George W. Bush Is President Committee. TR (BUSH): I just feel like now that we have finality at last and the election is behind us, and all the emotionality is over- and we've all passed a lot of water since then, it's time for priorities and finding a common denominator and building hope so our expectations rise above that which is expected. That just happens to be the way America is all about. And learning to like your neighbor just like you like to be liked yourself. And I happen to believe that something I said musta resignated with the American people ---- when I talked about doing what's the right thing, and eliminating quotas that vulcanize society, and cutting taxes to what's commiserate with the needs of people and standing up to nations that might feel like that they can bully ourselves and our allies and hold us hostile. We live at a time when more and more of our imports come from overseas. We need to change that. But my message was that life is important and people are important. Both are important. Both will be in the forethought of our thinking. I mean, I am a person who believes in the fallacy of humans. I understand reality. I don't think we need to be subliminable about our differences. Will opportunities grow or become more few? This question has had full analyzation and has been looked at a lot. I hope we get to the bottom of the answer. My goal is to call upon the best of America and in that spirit, I look forward to putting my hand on that Bible and taking the oath of office and--- and, I tell you, anybody who doesn't think I'm smart enough to handle the job is misunderestimating me big time. …a message from the George W. Bush Is President committee. (c) 2000 by Garrison Keillor |
