the carolinas really understand this situation with the artificially pegged Yuan, they watch it very closely. Chinese goods still have to be shipped here and that is where a huge amount of costs are for big tickets like furniture so they feel if they could get the Yuan floated they might have a chance. The Bush econ team is so incapable of international negotiation they try to deflect the Yuan problem as if this situation with china is a standard case of free trade which it is not. I think Bush goes down on this in the trade states and those are the ones Bush needs to win. China just dealt Bush a fatal blow with their hardline message on the Yuan last night. Personally I think if we can't resolve these currency matters with China some drastic action needs to be taken, even tariffs if necessary.

Love Is Never Having to Say You're Sorry "The truth is George Bush came to Alabama. He asked for weekend drills with us. He was assigned to me," said [Alabama Air National Guard Officer John] Calhoun, who was in Florida on Friday for this weekend's Daytona 500. Calhoun said he saw Bush sign in at the 187th Tactical Reconnaissance Group in Montgomery eight to 10 times for roughly eight hours at a time from May to October 1972. "He showed up. He sat in my office. He signed in," Calhoun said. "He was very determined to be there. He was in uniform and he did what he was supposed to do." However, Calhoun recalled Bush in the unit in the summer of 1972 when the documents indicate that he had not yet applied to serve there. The records, for example, show Bush was not paid for any service during more than five months in 1972, from April 17 to Oct. 27. He was paid for two days in late October 1972, four days in mid-November 1972 and no days in December 1972. Bush's letter requesting duty at the 187th is dated Sept. 5, 1972. rogerailes.blogspot.com
