McCain Appears (Briefly) With Bush After Fundraiser

From CBS News' John Bentley:


President Bush's fundraiser for John McCain last night produced all of 15 seconds of video of them together at the Phoenix airport (and you can bet the Democrats will be showing that video a few hundred times before November), but raised around $3 million for the Republican Party.

The fundraiser was at a private home in Phoenix, and as is the case with most fundraisers for Republicans or Democrats, closed to the press. But that didn't stop Barack Obama from criticizing McCain for meeting with the president behind closed doors. "No cameras. No reporters. And we all know why. Sen. McCain doesn't want to be seen, hat-in-hand, with the president whose failed policies he promises to continue for another four years," Obama said. "But the question for the American people is: Do we want to continue George Bush's policies?"

McCain will hold a town hall meeting later this morning in Reno, Nevada, about children's issues, followed by a fundraiser there and in Los Angeles.

Thus, is Dana Perino anymore credible then Scott McClellan?

They''ve both had the same job lying for the Replican President.

White House press secretary Dana Perino released this statement on Scott McClellan''''s critical book on the Bush White House:

"Scott, we now know, is disgruntled about his experience at the White House. For those of us who fully supported him, before, during and after he was press secretary, we are puzzled. It is sad -- this is not the Scott we knew."

THERE IS MORE BS IN ONE DEMOCRAT THAN TWO REPUBLICANS, DON''T FORGET THAT

Unfair taxation of the middle class
High prices for energy and everything else
High medical costs and prescription drugs

Corruption, Corruption, Corruption
Religious hypocrisy and abuse of church status tax laws
Degradation of our infrastructure
Continued export of American jobs to overseas slave labor
Decline in US stature and respect of the world community
