South students react to president’s Joplin visit

By CHRISTEN COOL

On Friday Novmber 3, 2006, the President of the United States visted Joplin. President Bush was supporting Jim Talent’s campaign for U.S Senate.
In Mr. Randy Turner’s communication arts classes, we had a chance to write about what we think about the President’s visit
Personally, I thought the speech was boring. Mr. Bush doesn’t know how to do a speech. Jim Talent is a suck up in front of the camera. But hey, thats just what I think. It’s also pretty sad that Talent had to have the president come to boost his votes!
But not everyone felt the same way I did.
Lane Hampton said ” Jim Talent is a good leader and did a good job introducing the president. The president made some good points but he needs to learn how to say Missouri.”
Shaynee Johnson said” I’m really happy that the president came to Joplin because we never really had anyone this popular come to our small town.” That was some good things students had to say to about Jim Talent and some good things about President Bush. Here are some bad things that the people said about them both.
Dusty Hill said” The speech was boring. All it talked about was the tax cuts he and Jim Talent made.”
Taylor Mulik had something to say as well about the speech. He said “Almost half the hour of talking and nothing came out of it. He goes on and on about Talent, and I didn’t learn anything about him. He said something about cutting taxes, which nobody should care about, and stuff, but he had no noticeable,worthwhile point.”
Jennifer Brock said ” I think George W. Bush coming to Joplin, Missouri, was probably a waste of his time. Talent is not fair and is always attacking Claire McCaskill.”
So there you have it folks what people think about Talent and George W. Bush.
