Bush and Cheney Lead Economic Cheerleading
forbes.com

President Bush and other members of his administration fanned out Friday to talk up the economy while Democrats faulted the administration's record. A sampling of remarks:

"I just went there (to the Chicago Board of Trade). A guy yelled out, in the corn pit, `Hook 'em, Horns!' So I hooked 'em. And now I own a lot of corn." - President Bush in Chicago.

"The Harleys are looking better than ever, and I'm thinking about taking one for a ride back out to Air Force Two." - Vice President Dick in Kansas City, Mo., after touring a Harley-Davidson plant.

"In baseball, just like in the economy, what counts are results, and today we have results." - Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez in Kentucky at the Louisville Slugger Museum and factory.

"It is tough to do things in a second term, but it is not impossible to do the right thing for the country." - Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert Kimmitt in Atlanta.

"Today's rosy remarks on the economy by President Bush and Vice President Cheney prove only that they're looking for good news with a microscope." - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.

"Middle-class Americans' paychecks are flat or dropping, while health care costs continue to rise and home heating costs are skyrocketing." - House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
