No hostile questions for Bush

Do we need a President from each party now so that ALL the people have a chance to see their President and ask him a question or two?

"President George W. Bush (news - web sites) famously dislikes press conferences but has embraced "Ask President Bush (news - web sites)" sessions packed with supporters at least as eager to pay tribute to him as get an answer."

"But would-be Bush hecklers face daunting obstacles: Loyalists handle giving out tickets to the event; home-made signs and banners are often forbidden; and in some cases access hinges on signing a loyalty oath.

"First priority goes to volunteers and supporters and then we reach out to people who are undecided and want to hear what the president has to say," according Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel.

The result is a friendly crowd eager to see the candidate they hope will win the November 2 election, while authorities banish protesters to heavily policed sidewalks blocks away."
