Hum Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Bush revealed the contents of his pockets Tuesday to an Argentine newspaper reporter who was interviewing him in advance of a presidential trip to Latin America later this week. When the reporter from La Nacion asked Bush to show him what he carries, the president stood up, fished in his pockets, then dramatically pulled his hands out holding nothing but a white handkerchief that he waved playfully in the air. "Es todo," Bush told the Spanish-speaking reporter, meaning the handkerchief was all. "No dinero, no mas. No wallet." He doesn't need any cash, since his staff takes care of buying anything he might need. He carries no cell phone, either, since he is surrounded by aides who take care of dialing his calls. And why would he need keys since every door is held open for him and his car comes with a driver trained by the Secret Service? The Argentine reporter, who interviewed Bush at the White House with other journalists from the Latin American media, asked the president if he even had a watch. "Si, Timex," Bush said, thrusting out his wrist to show off a timepiece that had his middle initial, W, on the face. "But I'm not supposed to be endorsing products." source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samg Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 is this a joke? Waving a white cloth in the air means "surrender". Is this a play on a news artical or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benjaminzsj Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 That's his job which doesn't require him much money or time to make the phone calls but lots of thinking and strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejohnnyq Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 this goes in the file - Who cares. Just like the stories on Clinton unable to use phone system by self, or having issues with ATM machine, (eat his card). He has no need to carry ID or money, and the SS recommends that he doesn't care a wallet, as ID theft could cause issues, (this has been a policy since the 1960's).

Hum Posted November 2, 2005 Author Share Posted November 2, 2005 You'd think the President would at least have a quarter on him for making those important decisions. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning that he is on the clock, meaning that taxpayer money pays for his food and such. You think Senators are any better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigapixels Veteran Posted November 2, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 2, 2005 The President is almost always doing government related. 586758782[/snapback] So you call his over 50% of vacation time, especially right before national disasters have happened, government related? Yeah, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, right. 586759664[/snapback] It's always funny when people think a President's vacation is anything like a normal citizens vacation. It's bascially everything he does in DC, but in TX.

Maybe that is just completely fake or something but I swear I heard that from some respectable source one time. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
