Can
you prove other Presidents have visited NYC in their first 8 months?


I never really paid attention to it in the past.

So you have no idea if Bush is doing any thing any other President has done.
That settles that!

I never paid attention to it, because I can't recall a time where
presidents avoided major areas. When glancing through newspapers and
such, I have always been accustomed to seeing reports of President
such-and-such in town or in the biggest city.

It's not something one stops to think about...until one notices that a
president is not and has not done so.



Then I took a look around and figured out
he and his administration was snubbing the geographic locations where he
lost big and where he doesn't have a lot of fans.

However, you have no idea if this is buisness as usual for a sitting
President
since you never paid attention to any President but Bush. You may be whining
about Presidential SOP.


Clinton came to SF multiple times; Reagan came to SF; and Bush Sr. came
to SF. All of them also went to NYC. I didn't keep my journal open
waiting for that to happen...it just happened. Bush Jr. brought the
phenomenon to my minds eye by conspicuously shunning the areas which
overwhelmingly voted for his opponent.



It's been nearly four years, and Bush still hasn't been in the financial
capital of the West Coast

I don't believe you need to visit any location to still represent them and
work
in their behalf. So what he never visited San Fran, has he ignored your
issues?

A president needs to rise above that pettiness.


Again, you don't know if your asking Bush to do what every other President in
the past has also failed to do. Doesn't seem fair,...


I do know that the previous three presidents all came here during their
terms. Not too hard to use deductive reasoning to formulate an opinion
why Bush Jr. continues to shun certain areas.
