Bush invented salmon
« on: August 22, 2003, 04:45:53 PM »
President Bush said Friday his administration has helped bring about an increase in salmon populations in the Pacific Northwest

here

exactly what did they do that could return salmon populations in 2 years?  

Quote
experts believe the increased salmon runs throughout the region are mostly due to weather and tidal patterns in the Pacific Ocean, said it was ludicrous for the president to claim even partial credit.


while he is taking credit for the increased run this year he doesn't really say what his administration did that brought this miraculous and immediate improvement.

Hmm, read the posted link, and couldn't find any text where Bush claimed responsibility for increased salmon runs. He mearly stated that they were higher, and that was headed in the right direction.

BLANNNNNNNNNK!!!!!!! Try again. :D

:confused:

California is a great state, if one state were to be taken away, I think California would have the greatest impact on the nation's economy. They produce alot, from agriculture to technology. I am from Boston and don't think much of LA, but I must admit, California is beautiful.

The article states:

"The good news is that the salmon runs are up,” he said to a cheering audience made up of GOP officials, farmers and businessmen, many in cowboy hats and baseball caps. “We just need to make sure we keep that momentum."


Where does he take credit for the increase in salmon runs again?  Salmon runs are at an all time high.  When talking about removing damns from the Columbia River because they're hurting salmon it's important to bring that up... don't you think?

Supporters of the president say his policies have helped to increase the number of salmon returning to spawning grounds.
He may not have said it in his speech, but his people are. Perk the Salmon!

His people?  "Supporters" could translate to a guy wearing a "Bush saves fish" tee shirt.

I guess you can compare this to Al Gore claiming to have been instrumental in the proliferation of the internet except GWB didn't actually say anything other than salmon runs were up (didn't even say at record levels).

It'd take a pretty retarded person to give someone credit for salmon runs that occur after a salmon has been out to see for about 4 years.  My guess is that a reporter found one in the crowd.
