President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney will skip the Republican National Convention because of Hurricane Gustav, the White House said Sunday. The first lady, Laura Bush, is still scheduled to address delegates at the convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Monday, the opening day. The convention schedule had Bush as the featured speaker before delegates late that night. |
Bush and Cheney to skip convention due to storm, White House says - International Herald Tribune
and honestly, for someone who thinks he knows something about US politics.....how could you even imagine that a sitting president wouldn't be scheduled to speak at his party's convention?
it's mind boggling.
