Bush plans visit to southern Indiana on Tuesday


WASHINGTON -- President Bush is traveling to New Albany, Ind., on Tuesday to talk about the federal budget, the White House announced today.
Bush has criticized the Democrat-controlled Congress for not sending him the annual spending bills on time. He has threatened to veto most of them.
The president plans to speak at the Grand, a convention and banquet center, at 1:15 p.m. Tuesday.
No other details about his trip were immediately available.
The reason that I choose this news is not related to any polities things. It is just because that I find although different country has their own political policies, the status of presidents are all important in every country. Nearly all the countries or just a small organizations all need a leader to operate masses of matters every day. Presidents always may be thought that they are the different people from others and they are one of the most important persons in the life.
In China, the preseident is hardly saw ih their life. Just in some ceremonies or summits we could see them on TV. And most of time they wear a tidy suit with tie and do the same gestures to express their prepared presentation or speech. They are totally different from others. They have masses of matters every day and so many events need them to deal with. In the USA, maybe the presidents are more often seen in life. They hope to give their residents an impression that they are one of you.

That's true, it's hard for us to see our president. In my opinion, our president is hiding all the time except some big conventions.
Maybe bashful is every Chinese merit, including our president.
Whereas, Americans are more inclining to meet others.
Those are the differences, aren't they?

I can't agree with you more. my grandma had experienced one time. this summer, she was looking around in the department store. to curious, there were so many people crowded here, suddenly, one said: look! it's our president Hu. he is just visiting this store. this store is the second biggest shopping center in Asia. at that time, my grandma wanted to see the president, unfortunitely, safeguards is protecting him, no one has access to approach him.

Everytime we see our president on TV, it is just like a show. The media never tell the real aspect of the president's life.They always want us to see the positive ones and block the negative part from us.

i had read your post yesterday in the class, but when i wanted to respond to your article, we had to leave. Every country has a president, our country are different from U.S. totally, so the president is also different. Every orgnization has one leader, he or she must has the ability to make dicisons correctly.As a student now, if we want to have a wonderful future we much have leadership, so we should try our best to improve our leadership!

That sounds great. I would like to see him, if he came here, to Hammond. lol

In China, people are hardly to see the headleaders, even the president. They only appear on big events. In USA, it is common to see Mr. President.
