WHITE HOUSE G2O IS IN TOWN!

Functions play a fundamental role in all areas of Government. On J20 almost every grand structure in the City will have a social/political function. I am on my way to one such building. I am standing under the China Town Arch at 7th and H Streets NW. Two blocks away from here, sitting at a table with 19 other G20 Leaders in The National Building Museum is "Hu Jintao the Chinese President of the People's Republic of China. I visited this location when Sen. Hillary Clinton masterfully took control of the hall, relaxed and at ease to give her official concession speech on a hot summer day. It was very hard to hear with the echo in the Hall, but you made out her good lines such as '18 million cracks in the ceiling.' I recall the beauty of the red brick exterior, the monumentally-scaled Palazzo Farnese-completed to Michelangelo’s specifications in 1589(nmb.org). The buildings interior designs was inspired by two Roman palaces, a style characteristic adopted by her former competitor. The McCain Campaign would never consider a townhall meeting in this building because it would look 'scripted'. But on this day, in this building, all Leaders speeches will be just that-well written, staged, and scripted. The Bush administration said on Wednesday a weekend meeting of Group of 20 leaders should be able to identify some specific measures for calming anxious financial markets and said it was timely for them to meet now. They chose the suitably grand space for Washington’s social and political functions to accomplish that. In this building, certain speech are given because sometimes your need more thab natural so every word of the G20 leaders speech — every word — will be crafted carefully to convey some meaning of the event to the World. Hillary wanted to convey party unity. We expect that leaders will want to come to an agreement on an action plan identifying specific implementation measures," said Dan Price, assistant to the president for International Economic Affairs, at a White House.
