Mr. 9% came to Utah not long ago. The news reported it cost about $150,000 in local tax dollars to clean up the mess he and the secret service left in their wake. Impressive.

He didn't cause that kind of problems here. Just traffic delays, but in Peoria, there isn't any real traffic.
I did learn that the congressional candidate that he came to see this time will have to reimburse the White House for the cost of the President's trip. Still with over $700k raised at the lunch, I think he'll make a profit.

I had read where Dubbya has worn out his welcome in one town he's been to more than the town(can't remember the town's name now) can afford to provide the additional security, and other "essentials" that go along with a presidential visit. Apparently he's been there 4 or five times(?) in the last couple of years.

Well, he's welcome back in Peoria any time he wants to come.

Well he is in Cleveland right now. He is visting Lincoln Electric which is about 1/2 mile from where I work, so the drive home from work should be fun.
