WashPost's Froomkin: Bush Keeps Self Blissfully Secluded w/GOP Audiences Only

WashPost: "When was the last time that Bush spoke in a forum open to citizens who are representative of the diverse array of views in the country? Certainly not since last Oct's presidential debates, and not often before then, either. During last yr's campaign, WH advance teams began screening audiences at Bush events to insure that only supporters were allowed in. After the election, that policy gave way to a new, "invite only" approach, in which tickets to so-called public events were distributed largely by Repub and business groups. Now Bush is in phase three, where almost everyone he appears before is either on the fedrl payroll or a Repub donor." This policy infuriates me for so many reasons. WE the people own this govt. WE the people own the WH. Not the prez. Not 1 single political party. Why should WE taxpayers fund presidential events to which the public is never welcome? If the thin-skinned & punk-ass bitch Bush can't handle dissent and discussion, then he should have never swore to uphold our Constitution b/c that document guarantees that WE the people have the right to dissent and the right to redress our grievances publicly... whether Bush the Girly Man can handle it or not.
