President Bush in Tucson, AZ

Cops were all over Swan and other nearby roads in Tucson, AZ last night.  This was a mystery to Chris & I until we got home and searched online news for the cause.  I thought maybe a bus packed full of convicts had escaped :)   But nah, it was just the President. 

President Bush departed Davis-Monthan Air Force Base sometime a little after 10 P.M to spend the night at Westin La Paloma Resort & Spa.  He was attending a sold out $1000/plate early morning fundraiser for Tim Bee, the Republican Congressional candidate who will be running against U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, a Democrat, who in my opinion is doing a nice job.  You can learn more about Giffords at http://giffords.house.gov/ if you’re interested.

But those Republican’s stick together, which is to be expected, even though President Bush’s approval rating is only 28%-the fundraiser is reported to have been attended by more than 400 people, raising more than $500,000 for Tim Bee.

This was President Bush’s fourth visit to Tucson since taking office, and it was a short one.  He left before noon, and plans to spend the weekend at his ranch in Crawford, Texas.
