Msnapsnap | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:10 am     Does anyone know what time of the day on Thursday is the speech to the United Nations? |
Lisad | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:20 am     NO WAY! Is this a threat to our viewing pleasure on the big Thursday show? Say it ain't so! |
Wiseolowl | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:24 am     Don't think it's a problem . Presidents have traditionally chosen to do their business in New York during the day when their presence can do the most to tie up traffic - although Bush 's appearance will probably get a pass from New Yorkers in light of 9/11. |
Lurknomore | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:56 am     LOLOL tie up the most traffic....too funny...too true I'm sure if it doesn't interrupt BB then it will fall right in the middle of All My Children. Good thing I've taken to watching it at night on SoapNet. |
Squaredsc | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 08:56 am     omg, are you sure its this thursday?? i hope not. i already have my evening planned. |
Sheilaree | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:00 am     I would think he would be speaking on Weds. not Thurs but I might be wrong on that. It will probable be around 8:00pm when he speaks. They always ruin things when they do that. |
Dntx4bb3 | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:04 am     Waving arms:::: stooping feet:::::Screaming at screen::::Ranting and raving!!! say it ain't so!!! I can't take it, I have to see Thursday's show. Darn I just thought of something....I'm acting like Marcellas |
Sheilaree | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:09 am     I am afraid it is so. I was just on CNN and he is going to speak on Weds at 9:00pm not Thursday but he could be speaking both days. |
Maris | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:12 am     I think is speaking at the UN on thursday. Not a problem for the show. |
Sheilaree | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:13 am     I was just on CNN he is going to speak Weds at 9:00pm. but he could be on both days speaking. They ruin things. |
Justshirley | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:14 am     Bush's speech(es) on Weds. will be regarding 9/11. On Thursday, he is speaking before the U.N. (I would assume regarding the Iraq situation.) I would also assume that the U.N. speech would be during business hours and would not interfere with any prime time programming. |
Observerx | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:17 am     Bush better not interfere with BB3 on Thursday. I mean, come on, let's get our priorities straight here. Not only would he be more boring than the houseguests he would start a bashing thread that wouldn't stop. We thought Roddy would never go away... sheesh!  |
Kit66 | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:19 am     Do they even televise his United Nation addresses?? At any rate, I would think that would happen in the daytime... |
Observerx | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:41 am     My above post was said in humor and no offense to Bush supporters. I love the USA. |
Dallasbbfan | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 11:49 am     President Bush is addressing the UN at 9:30 a.m. New York time on 09/12/02 |
Bbnan | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:03 pm     Hey Observerx, you can despise Bush and still love the USA. I know I do. |
Observerx | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:07 pm     Hey Bbnan, "I'm in" sshhh... I was kissing up to the jury, remember it's all about "perception"  |
Bbfanatic | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:29 pm     i love george bush & the usa. so there!! |
Kiari | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:37 pm     You know your watching to much BB When..................It becomes more important than the president's speech. :/ |
Ginger1218 | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:43 pm     me too BBfanatic!!!!! |
Ministryoftruth | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:45 pm     What Bbfanatic and Ginger1218 said! |
Seamonkey | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:45 pm     Remember when one of Clinton's State of the Union speeches was nudged a bit later because the O.J.Simpson civil trial verdict came in?? BB and Ginger, with you.. Love the US, approve of Bush. |
Observerx | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:46 pm     Go Bush! Go Bush! ...Really...GO! ...have a feeling this thread's shutting down soon So, it looks like the president's speech will not be affecting Big Brother Programming... correct? |
Dallasbbfan | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 12:59 pm     Correct Observerx |
Wiseolowl | Tuesday, September 10, 2002 - 01:18 pm     to my American friends .. this is asked out of curiosity not criticism. I don't particularly like our current Prime Minister. Disagree with many of his policies , don't belong to his party ,have some suspicions about some of his private dealings - there's smoke but no fire , and will be glad when he 's gone after 12 - God help us- years. But I don't despise or hate the man. His is a mixed record. President Bush has been in office less than two years - the last one being very difficult.In that time I see him as having acted decisively and along the lines on which he campaigned. From what we know he has conducted his personal life without blemish - you may disagree with his policies but those who deal with him on a personal and professional level - including his political opponents seem to like him. The question is why do Americans so personalize their feelings toward their politicians? hate and despise seem to be the favorite adjectives to apply to a politician with whom you don't happen to agree. Your country is not that split ideologically - many Democrats voted for Bush's major bills. The Canadian posters may disagree with me but it seems up here these extreme feelings aren't as prevalent - at least until a politician has been around for a long time to establish a track record. If anyone cares to respond I hope it's a civilized reponse, not a partisan one. The reason I post this is that have read on so many posts the vehamence with which posters attack politicians. And then you get the other extreme like Danni who doesn't have the time to even vote. Puzzling. |
