Bush in Grand Rapids-Excuse me East Grand Rapid

President Bush spoke to an Audiences of 500 at the East Grand Rapids High School yesterday. Given that East Rapids is the wealthy snooty suburbs to Grand Rapids where to date no hometown boy and girls have died, it hard to image a better audience for the President. The Grand Rapids Press stated the crowd was impressed by his speech,that's probably is true given this is the same turf that produced the screenwriter of American Pie. Seems being able to WOW a crowd in East Grand Rapids is just like... PIE.
Bush protesters( and there were a big bunch) , were given a half of a page, on page 8 slightly more space the big polar bear cub birth in Berlin. The conservative Grand Rapids Press all but forgot the two anti war rally, they did make note that a 200 foot banner was made with all the decreased American soldier from the Iraq war. I would like to seen a photo of that instead of photo after photo of the President and his groupie. The Press ignored the anti-bush impressed that President all but stuck his thing in the EGR pie.
The strangest tidbit yet from the rag is how the President, who was behind scheduled, made a surprise stop to see President Ford's grave. To reinforce this there was a front page color photo, of a lone President standing sorrowfully in front of Gerald Ford tomb, one lone Marine in the background. The whole thing, smells, looks, and feels scripted, with all the dramatics of a Lifetime movie .
