Remarks by the President to the Press Pool
Nothin' Fancy Cafe
Roswell, New Mexico

11:25 A.M. MST

THE PRESIDENT: I need some ribs.

Q Mr. President, how are you?

THE PRESIDENT: I'm hungry and I'm going to order some ribs.

Q What would you like?

THE PRESIDENT: Whatever you think I'd like.

Q Sir, on homeland security, critics would say you simply haven't spent enough to keep the country secure.

THE PRESIDENT: My job is to secure the homeland and that's exactly what we're going to do. But I'm here to take somebody's order. That would be you, Stretch -- what would you like? Put some of your high-priced money right here to try to help the local economy. You get paid a lot of money, you ought to be buying some food here. It's part of how the economy grows. You've got plenty of money in your pocket, and when you spend it, it drives the economy forward. So what would you like to eat?

Q Right behind you, whatever you order.

THE PRESIDENT: I'm ordering ribs. David, do you need a rib?

Q But Mr. President --

THE PRESIDENT: Stretch, thank you, this is not a press conference. This is my chance to help this lady put some money in her pocket. Let me explain how the economy works. When you spend money to buy food it helps this lady's business. It makes it more likely somebody is going to find work. So instead of asking questions, answer mine: are you going to buy some food?

Q Yes.

THE PRESIDENT: Okay, good. What would you like?

Q Ribs.

THE PRESIDENT: Ribs? Good. Let's order up some ribs.

Q What do you think of the democratic field, sir?

THE PRESIDENT: See, his job is to ask questions, he thinks my job is to answer every question he asks. I'm here to help this restaurant by buying some food. Terry, would you like something?

Q An answer.

Q Can we buy some questions?

THE PRESIDENT: Obviously these people -- they make a lot of money and they're not going to spend much. I'm not saying they're overpaid, they're just not spending any money.

Q Do you think it's all going to come down to national security, sir, this election?

THE PRESIDENT: One of the things David does, he asks a lot of questions, and they're good, generally.

END 11:29 A.M. MST

It's on the whitehouse website, seems to be valid... an amusing read that's for sure.

well considering my disdain for the press i can't say i would act differently...epsecially when i am trying to eat, that would really put me off, just like telemarketers calling during dinner.

Ohh Roswell, perhaps the President was out alient hunting?

i have some relatives that live in roswell and out ther UFO stands for Unlimited Financial Opportunity just feeding the economy, as he stated.

[Warthog]

lol, never seen such a group of people obsessed with one politician in my entire life

Soon there is gonna be a thread talking about Dubya liking Scott brand toilet paper and watching Rambo III on Air Force One.

cnn broadcast this showing the bbq stand and all. A photo op gone bad. At least we didnt't have to pay for the operating cost of an aircraft carrier for a day.

[jokostel]

i gotta luv the the Communist News Network they report and publish everything they can to bash President Bush.... be it just a gag or what they feel is a more serious nature... they have been doing this ever since he came into office.... Someone show me an article that cnn had produced that slammed Clinton...Ill be shocked, shaken and damaged for life.

Could'a been better, if he had said something like,
' Would you like some cheese with that whine.'
