Vice President Pence Speaks

Vice President Pence Speaks

"Tax Cuts to Put America First"

I was invited to meet Vice President Pence today at the Westin hotel around O’Hare airport. I got there early so I would be able to get a seat in the ballroom where it was held.  I pulled up in my car and found out that they charge $24 to park my car for 4 hrs. What the hell. That’s insane. I have a handicap parking card but I didn’t see any handicap spaces around anywhere. Isn’t that illegal? I didn’t know what to do so I went across the street into this other hotel parking lot. Thank goodness I found a Handicap space.

 When I got to the Westin hotel at 9:30 there was a line already. The doors opened at 10:30. That was a long wait but I passed the time by talking to the people.

  The guy in back of me had run for congress here in Illinois in the past. One of the press came by and interviewed him. When it was time to enter the ballroom we had to empty our pockets and go through a metal detector. I walked in and saw that the Press was setting up their cameras. 

It was a good hour and a half before it got started at 12:30. 

When it did start the moderator introduced Congressman Adam Kinzinger. He talked about the new Tax Cuts. Then they brought up two business people. All four of them sat down and had a discussion about the new Tax Cuts that President has put in place.  

 The next person to step up to the podium was Governor Bruce Rauner. He registered a “D” on the applause meter. I didn’t like him the first time he ran for Governor. All though I am Republican and I did vote in the general primary election on March 20, 2018 this time, I didn’t even cast a vote for him. 

He didn’t talk long and he finally introduced Vice President Mike Pence. Everyone stood up and gave him a big round of applause. The people really liked him and so do I. He talked about all the things the Trump administration has accomplished and about the Tax Cuts.

The Vice President was interrupted 5 times though his speech by those Trump haters who somehow got inside. The Secret Survive and the Police jumped in fast and escorted the guy out. Everybody started yelling “USA, USA, USA.” Then Pence would start his speech again and another Trump hater would start it all over again. 

The police got that guy out while everybody yelled “USA, USA.” Poor Pence, I thought he would never get a chance to speak. The Trump haters must have had it planned to interrupt the Vice President all through his speech but it didn’t stop Pence. I think they finally got all of them out of there and the Vice President went on to deliver a great speech.  

 After it was all over, I went over to the Rivers Casino which is right down the street about a mile away. The only thing was I had to take a big detour because the Police had all the streets around the Westin Hotel completely blocked off and closed. I had to go up to one of the Police and ask him how to get out of there. 

 I haven’t been to the Rivers Casino in years but I was glad I went. There are 5 crap tables. That’s my game. I didn’t stay long and picked up a fast $40. That felt good. I had a ball today and I am glad I went. I just wish I could have had my picture taken with the Vice President.
