The White House Thread

[PBrunsel]

(Oval Office)

Good evening my fellow Atlasians,

As you know, I am a man who detests Communism. I feel that it is a great evil and I would love to see the day that Marxism is placed in the trash heap of the ages. Until the day freedom shall crush the Serpent with its heel we must learn to cling to diplomacy as our greatest weapon, not our opposing militaries.

On January 16th, 2005, Secretary of State Gustaf, Chief of Staff Mike Naso, and I are traveling to China where we will work with Chairman Jinatao and his aides and advisors. We have been given permission by the Chinese Government to come and speak to the towns and provinces in China and attempt to teach the Chinese of our ways as long as we hear out them as well. I have agreed to this.

I hope that our diplomatic mission will make a difference in peace. It is peace that I want; it is peace that Chairman Jinatao wants. If we can come together with the simple message of peace than we can work together to find an agreement that will reform China and save the Earth from a nuclear holocaust.

May God Bless our diplomatic mission. May we have peace.     

[Akno21]

Good luck, Mr. President.

[KEmperor]

Does Gustaf know that he's going to China?

[PBrunsel]

Does Gustaf know that he's going to China?

Yes he does.

[KEmperor]

Does Gustaf know that he's going to China?

Yes he does.

What about Chief Of Staff Mike Naso.

[Defarge]

Best of luck Mr. President.  The threat from the People's Republic of China must be dealt with.

[Gabu]

I applaud our president's choice of action and wish him the best.

[Reaganfan]

Yes Mr. President, I am glad to participate.

Good evening my fellow Atlasians,

Today a great leader of Democracy and freedom has died. A man who defended the students at Tienmen Square. He has been under house arrest by the cruel Chinese oppressors. This man is Zhao Ziyang, and he is a hero of freedom.

He fought against the Chinese actions and cover up at Tienemen Square. As a high ranking government official he championed reform and human rights. For these things he was out under house arrest for the rest of his life, but he will not be forgotten by the lovers of freedom.

That is why I declare tommorow Zhao Ziyang Day in Atlasia so that we may honor this fighter of freedom. He stated Tianamen Square in 1989 that he had come "Too late". It was never too late for reform, and he dedicated his time as a leading Communist party Chairman to reform.

I salute him tonight as he passes into eternity to live forever with Christ because he was more than those around him the in the Communist Stae Department, he was a lover of liberty.

Good night and may God bless you and May God Bless Atlasia.

(Do you REALLY want war that bad?)

[The Duke]

China will go towar because we declared named a day after a pro-reform leader?  If that's true, we'll have war no matter what we do because they're ing nustso, so we might as well declare whatever holidays we want before Hu Jintao blows up the world.

I don't think China will go to war because we honored a pro-democracy Chinese man.

[Platypus]

I'm not saying that, I'm just saying the PBrunsel is picing a fight by his actions-add it was onboard a vessel of war and if the Chinese see it as aggressive, don't be surprised.

[KEmperor]

I'm not saying that, I'm just saying the PBrunsel is picing a fight by his actions-add it was onboard a vessel of war and if the Chinese see it as aggressive, don't be surprised.

Yeah, onboard an Aircraft Carrier off the coast of Taiwan?  Not a great move.

How far away from the nearest Chinese missile is that?

[The Duke]

Okay, so that part was stupid, but the Chinese have no right to talk about anyone being too aggressive with their rhetoric.  We all remember how this started, right?

[PBrunsel]

(Do you REALLY want war that bad?)

Let us not forget that yesterday I was (in fantasy of course) working out a deal with China, The results of these brief mettings will be stated tonight in my State of the Forum Address.

[Peter]

Mr President, will you be nominating a new Secretary of the Treasury, and if so, when?

[PBrunsel]

Mr President, will you be nominating a new Secretary of the Treasury, and if so, when?

Tonight Mr. Bell.

Please have some patience.

[PBrunsel]

[President PBrunsel walks to the podium as the press yell questions and cameras flash]

Good evening,

It was with a heavy heart that I asked MasterJedi to resign as Secretary of the Treasury. I thank him from sparing our nation of a messy impeachment. He is indeed a great Atlasian no matter what certain political bosses and hacks want to say about him.

I now nominate for the position of Secretary of the Treasury King of California. He has served Atlasia as a Senator and an Associate Justice so I am sure he will serve the disorderly and inept Treasury Department well.

[The President walks from the podium as the press scream questions about what the President had just said.]

[Colin]

Mr. President why didn't you nominate me?

[PBrunsel]

Mr. President why didn't you nominate me?

King asked first.

He also gave me an outline of what he would actually do.

[King]

Thank you, Mr. President. Now for a little statement for the press:

People of Atlasia, I have been called to serve the Treasury Department in the final weeks of the PBrunsel administration and I am honored to have been appointed. The department has been called by some a dishonorable waste of the taxpayer's money and with the leadership it has had in the past, I tend to agree. But, the Treasury Department can be more and will be under me.

Is it not the Treasury who collects income taxes? Is it not the Treasury who regulates food and drug? And is it not the Treasury who manages welfare and social security? We can and we will get things done in the Treasury Department!

[PBrunsel]

I now officially nominate DanielX for Game Moderator.

[Gabu]

I now officially nominate DanielX for Game Moderator.

John Ford also needs you to nominate a new Secretary of Defense, Mr. President.

[The Duke]

Just so everyne is sure to read it, there will be some important stuff in my last Defense Department briefing tat Senators need be aware of.
