Bush Continues Losing Streak in Cincinnati
Today, President Bush visited Cincinnati to throw out the first pitch of the National League's opening day game. The Cubs slaughtered the Reds 16-7.
The last time the President came to Cincinnati for a much-publicized event -- October of 2002 -- it was to announce the start of preparation for the Iraq war. There, he declared that Iraq "possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons. It has given shelter and support to terrorism... Satellite photographs reveal that Iraq is rebuilding facilities at sites that have been part of its nuclear program in the past." Not one of those statements was actually true.
As of today, 109 Ohioans have been killed in Iraq since military operations began there.
Perhaps Bush needs to stop coming to Cincinnati -- every time he does, the results for Ohioans are terrible. While Ohio seems to be a good luck charm for the President, he's a bad omen for this state.
