Bush Aides Plan Tour to Promote Policies
Good thinking, Chimpy. If you can't actually FIX the economy, then just send some of your clowns out on a road show to simply TELL people the economy's good!

Three members of President Bush's economic team will participate in a two-day bus tour of Wisconsin and Minnesota next week to promote the president's policies, the White House announced Wednesday.

Treasury Secretary John Snow, Commerce Secretary Don Evans and Labor Secretary Elaine Chao will discuss the state of the economy and the $330 billion tax cut that Congress passed in May in an effort to revive economic growth.

The "Jobs and Growth Tour," which will include town hall meetings, round-table discussions and factory tours in the two states, is one of a number of events the administration is planning to highlight the president's efforts to boost the weak economy.

Bush plans to meet with top economic advisers in Crawford, Texas, during his monthlong stay there in August. Participants will include Snow, Evans, Office of Management and Budget Director Joshua Bolten, economic adviser Stephen Friedman and Gregory Mankiw, the chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers.

2. Yeah, just like the Economic Summit.
Remember what a laughing stock that was? Even the (then) lapdog press were ridiculing it.

Think what they will do to this traveling medicine show!

be enjoying another month of beer and pretzels at the Pig Farm in Crawford, TX, just as he did after ignoring all the CIA and FBI warnings of an imminent massive terrorist attack a month before 9/11.

He knows by now that the patriotic citizens of the US have seen through him, and loathe him. He would be protested and booed to Kingdom Come.
