From Indian Hill
Steve Kemme reports from Indian Hill
About 30 anti-Bush protesters congregated at Drake and Shawnee Run Roads as President Bush passed by.
"He was waving at us as we all gave him the thumbs down," said Steve Neago, 48, of Miami Twp. He held a large sign reading "Hail to the Chief: George Bush go home."
Nancy Barton, 58, of Miami Twp., also had a large anti-Bush sign. "I think it's important that people realize that staying the course in Iraq means another $300 million spent and another 3,000 dead. I think Bush is completely out of touch with the American people."

It is stupid to believe all Americans hold the same opinions as the President. It is EQUALLY as stupid to believe all Americans disagree with the President. Please stop speaking on behalf of me. I support the President.
this is a political fundraising trip - it should be getting covered as news. Will Bill Clinton be covered the same way when he comes to town?
Air Force One $56,000 an hour
U.S. National Debt:
$8,491,129,708,919
U.S. Debt with China: Priceless
I remember the last time Bush was in town touting the success of a firm. It was 2004 at Talbert House. They marched out their star success, a woman who had embezzled a chunk of money from her previous employer. They missed the fact that the woman hadn't bothered to follow the restitution plan agreed upon by the court.
A mile away another of Talbert House's divisions had just learned their budget was being cut by $1 million, over a dozen therapists were terminated -- folks who actually helped abused children in Cincinnati. My medical insurance was $7200 that year, but by god I got a tax break, $30.
I hope folks will begin to look beyond the photo ops and spin.
Obviously, this blog entry is another example of the Enquirer's staff going out of their way to make Republicans look good and Democrats look bad.

As a participant in the motorcade, I noted hundreds of more supporters in Indian Hill and Madeira than protestors. I'm guessing that it was a five to one margin...probably more.
Probably because we didn't act like jackballs??
