	President Bush to visit Denmark Tired of ads?

Breaking news here, and this is major news, as it is only the second time ever that a U.S. President will visit. First one was Clinton in 1997.

Bush will visit on 6 July, accompanied by Laura Bush.

This comes after Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen having just paid his 4th visit in as many years to the White House last week.

Yeah, maybe I got a little carried away there.

But still, who will be visiting Belgium, Lt. Governor of Vermont?

	Put an end to popups!

And, within half an hour of the news, the "experts" are entering the field to try and paint the visit in their personally preferred colour.

Some unknown "senior scholar" of the Institute for International Studies, says it's just a courtesy visit, because we were "one of the few countries" who participated in the Iraq War, that it is only playing to the gallery, and that absolutely nothing will come from it. He also predicts it will backfire for PM Rasmussen politically if he "keeps up his chummy relationship" with Pres. Bush.

Where would we be without those brilliant experts.

Maybe Bush and his pals will tell you folks some of the lies he's been telling us.

omg.. I'm not sure if you understood me correctly.. i'm not referring to the granade incident, but if you in stead got me and I get this reply correctly.. man that's about the most nasty reply I've ever seen on Poly. Makes even me say 'ouch that's just wrong!'.

Oh, in that case we will be "throwing the ball". He is invited here by our PM.

What a peculiar question to ask, you can't blame people for being nasty when you ask such a thing.

And now you have to bring baseball into it. I was just trying to wrap my mind around the evening dance thing.

He's coming. Here. Not Belgium. Leave the balls alone.

He's coming, but will he deliver to the crowd as well? It shouldn't be your PM who gets all the juice if he comes on Denmark now, I mean like you said, it's a rare occasion so ... people should get some too, some of that glory thing of it.

When Clinton was here in '97, he spoke to 80,000 people - including little me - in downtown Copenhagen. And I lived in Fredensborg then (small town with royal residence north of Copenhagen), where he was staying for the night, 600m from my house.

I don't expect Bush to be adressing such a huge crowd, but you never know.

80 000 seems a lot.. even if they are done with fast. I mean.. 80 000.. especially in small country. You wouldn't expect having to go through that I'd suppose.. and after sitting a long flight from the US also, just makes it worse.

I mean you realize I'm talking about gay sex? The whole throwing the ball or recieving adn from there on to the last post I just made?

Gay sex? Hadn't a clue.

It was a lot of people. We got there 2 hours in advance, and the square was almost filled by then. We hardly got to see him from where we ended up. There was all day coverage on both TV channels of the visit, it was like nothing I'd ever experienced. But then Clinton was immensely popular here, not so with Bush. That will also have an influence on the program I suspect.

Hey, don't start drinking too heavily or anything from guilt. I probably should have been on guard when balls were even mentioned in connection with leading politicians.

the best would be a person to person meeting between pekka and bush. can you imagine? pekka going "thank you mister president for the freedom and democracy!!!" bush going "well you're welcome little fellow" and shaking hands.
that would be the act of the month

paiktis, why not? I don't HATE Bush. I do think he's an idiot, but he's a president of the US too so I would shake his hand no problem and say nice things. Why not... he hasn't taken my freedom away either so.. sure. Of course I wouldn't say thanks for the freedom and democracy though, because I didn't get it from him. I'd say things like 'It's an honour to meet you Mr President, I hope you enjoy your stay' or something like that. and then 'I know you're busy but could you please sign this for me', and he'd officially be my referrer to the green card, I don't think it would become a problem then.

I think most people would go for a Presidential handshake if they ever had the chance, whether they agree with the guy or not.

I don't think there would be stockpiles of people standing outside the embassy beggin for that
Unless of course in Denmark.
I don't know about that.
