If he is at the factory he doesn’t need one. Only on a construction or mining site would he need one under an “official” operating capacity.

Bush, analysts differ on roots of CAT’s rise

EAST PEORIA – President Bush has said he uses Caterpillar Inc.’s trademark yellow earth-movers on his Texas ranch, was to get a firsthand look at one of their big brothers during a factory tour today.

Officials say Bush’s scheduled stop at the East Peoria plant was steered by more than a boyish fascination with the hulking machines that clear the way for construction and mining work around the world.

On the eve of his State of the Economy address Wednesday in New York, Bush is touting Peoria-based Caterpillar as an example of how his administration’s trade agreements and tax breaks can boost global sales and create jobs for U.S. workers.

“Our economy is strong thanks to the pro-growth policies we have in place here and the hard work of American entrepreneurs and workers,” Bush spokesman Alex Conant said.

Others, though, say Caterpillar itself is behind a global sales surge that helped the heavy equipment maker post record profits and revenues for three straight years, creating about 5,000 jobs at its U.S. plants in Illinois, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.

Morningstar analyst John Kearney says the company simply took advantage of heightened worldwide demand for both construction and mining machines, using a strong dealer network and respected brand name that make Caterpillar “the 800-pound gorilla” among heavy equipment makers.

“I’d probably give management more credit than the president.” I’m no politician, but it seems a pretty good political move to pick a successful company like Cat and give your spiel through them,” Kearney said.

Fred Giertz, a University of Illinois economics professor, says Bush’s trade policies deserve a little credit. He said the administration has steered clear of import restrictions that other countries might have mirrored, creating a tougher market for U.S. exports.

“Sometimes politicians get too much blame when things go bad and too much credit when things go good. Most of the credit goes to the people at Caterpillar. They created an environment where it’s possible to compete on a world scene and do well,” Giertz said.

And now we see what a “compassionate conservative” is like.

I don’t know how he handles everything so well.

Good point. It would have been a lot more sensational if fat Cheney was there with Ms. Rice and the Snowman; the three, cheering the chimp while he crushed them to death with a handful of La”Roach”/Fox cubs….er (s)crews.
It would have been bloodly thrilling seeing the devils gutted by their forks. But they seem to know better, that the Butch(er) was probably sufferin from DUDI (..Dope Influence).

This would probably keep the press away from his back. No more annoying questions. Nevertheless, lets pray for more mistakes like this, so we would know Saddam was a nice guy compared with Butch(er).
