Just found out W. is visiting my work place. Of course there has been a very limited number of people allowed in the Town Hall meeting, I'm not one of them.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — It's a sort of automotive détente, as President Bush and the U.S. domestic automakers, who have not always been on the coziest terms, plan a couple of major get-togethers in the coming days.
On Tuesday, President Bush will promote his energy policy with visits to Ford and General Motors assembly plants that make gas-electric hybrids. He will spend time at GM's Fairfax plant in Kansas City, which builds the Saturn Aura Hybrid midsize sedan, and will also visit the Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner Hybrid facility in Claycomo, Missouri. The visits are noteworthy because Bush has visited only U.S. assembly plants run by BMW and Toyota during his presidency.
Detroit automakers are also penciled in on the president's calendar for March 26 to meet for a second time about ways to increase the use of alternative fuels. Expect Bush to get an earful from the CEOs of the U.S. domestic automakers, who support the use of biofuels and investment in battery research but have come out strongly against higher fuel-economy standards. Since the auto executives had a pow-wow with Bush last November, the president has proposed cutting gas consumption by 20 percent over the next decade. A majority of that reduction would come from a spike in the consumption of renewable fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel. The rest would come from stricter fuel-economy standards.
