SUBJECT = ARI FLEISHER ON CLINTON
NAME = LAWERENCE KAUFMAN
MESSAGE = DEAR MR.PRESIDENT
ARI FLEISHER HAD IT RIGHT WHEN HE BLAMED
BILL CLINTON AND HIS STATE DEPARTMENT CABAL FOR THE CURRENT BLOODSHED IN ISRAEL!!!
CLINTON,ALBRIGHT,ROSS ,INDYK AND KURTZER RAISED THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE PALESTINIAN ARABS TO
UNREALISTIC HEIGHTS 18 MONTHS AGO! WE ARE NOW SEEING THE FRUITS OF THAT FOOLISHNESS!

PS PLEASE FORWARD TO ARI FLEISHER ! I could not locate his e-mail address!
SUBJECT = Foreign Car Ownership
NAME = Dominique Haase
MESSAGE = You state in this article mentioned in the subject, that Crysler
got into bed with Nazis. Thus you say that all Employees of former Daimler Benz are Nazis, which is
so incorrect. I am German and I do not like to hear sentences and opinions like that all the time, especially from US-Americans.
In wich now modern so called civilized Contry has slavery been legal way longer than in all other Countries.
Patriotism was the root, from where Hitler drew most of his influence on
the German People from. My ancestors may have been very patriotic German
citizens.
I think that you are not sensitive enough with critical matery like nazis.
Sincerely
Dominique Haase
SUBJECT = virtual your
NAME = Mitch Judd
MESSAGE = To the writers of whitehouse.org
The word "rabble" as used on the virtual tour, quoate(but also special,
secret areas of the White House previously inaccessible to rabble such as
yourself.) has the meaning of: the lowest class of people. I find this
very offensive. You don't know me.What provoked you to to catogorize me as
rabble?
SUBJECT = like guns?
NAME = katy khajebag
MESSAGE = To Whom It May Concern:
I am an eighteen year old student at University of California, Irvine.
I have recently visited the White House Web page in search of some
information, however I came across the Like Guns? Check out the NRA Kooky
Kidz Korner! page and was appalled. I thought this site would be about gun
safety instead found that this site promotes guns, and even has pictures
showing young children holding guns. What kind of a message is this
sending out to young children? Is the White House trying to promote the
use of guns to American children? It seems ironic to me that all across
the nation communities are plagued with gun violence and many are trying
to get rid of guns, yet the White House has a link to a site promoting
guns to young children. I am disgusted and disturbed that our government
(even with their ties to the NRA) would still allow such a site to be
posted on the White House web page. I urge you to remove this site from
your home page.
SUBJECT = Virtual Tours
NAME = Elize
MESSAGE = Please pay special attention to you virtual tours. I don't know
if you are aware of the pictures that are flashing in the Blue Room. I
heard about this before Chirstmas, and only checked for myself now. There
are a lot of children that are very intersted in the White House, and this
is certainly not something I want my own children to see.
SUBJECT = Letter to the mexicans from Laura Bush
NAME = Marisa Polin
MESSAGE = Are you laughing out the mexicans and all spanish speaking
people? Don't you have one able person to read what you are placing in the web?
You should be ashamed, spanish word doesn't mean spanish text and if you
meant wel you missed your point by kilometers.
It would be better to remove that inmediatly from the web before more
people have the chance to read it and laugh at the White House.
SUBJECT = foolish proposals
NAME = Citizen Kane
MESSAGE = The self serving attempt to portray anyone not in your USA partiot registry will fail to catch any terrorists!

SUBJECT = Re: Veterans Health Issues
NAME = Harold E. Kurzweg
MESSAGE = The reply from the White House only confirms what I have know all along and
that is, the government doesn't give a damn about us. What a disgusting state of affairs when I receive a canned reply (cheap shot) that points out
no one is listening and has no intentions of doing anything.
My best bet is to get another candidate in the White House although I don't
have much hope it will be any better, but then, you have to keep trying.
SUBJECT = White House Website
NAME = Carol Marshall
MESSAGE = I have used the White House Website as an activity for my 9th
graders. On President's Day, 2002, I planned to continue this.
However, I feel that I cannot use the site with my class because of a "fun
fact" about "Lyndon Johnson's genitals hanging out of his pants" being
listed.
This is extremely inappropriate!
SUBJECT = tattoo
NAME = Kevin Williams
MESSAGE = i don't think every american should have to get the tattoo. only
the people who come from outside the US should have to get them. i'm 33
yrs old, born and raised in the US and sure as heck wouldn't do anything
to my country. i like my FREEDOM too much to do anything. i think the
penalty should apply to the people outside the US, not the people who
where born here. if u make every american get this tattoo, to me u r
invading our privacy. i think it is a good idea, but only for the people
who come to the US from another country. thank u for ur time.
SUBJECT = First Lady's message to the Mexicans
NAME = Jon Echegaray
MESSAGE = I am a Spanish citizen (from Spain, Europe) who is absolutely
indignant and offended by the message of Mrs. Bush to the Mexicans.
First, how is it possible that she and her advisors ignore that the
language spoken in Mexico is Spanish, not "Mexican"?
Second, how is it possible that when the White House decides to insert
messages in Spanish in its official web site, they use a translation
software instead of hiring somebody able to speak Spanish?
Third, how is it possible such racist and patronizing attitude coming from
the official White House web site?
Fourth, how is it possible that even the name of the First Lady is wrong
in that message ("La Arbusto")?
Fifth, in view of the above, the Spaniards (from Spain, Europe) would
prefer not to receive any message from the First Lady.
You should know that a link to the web address
www.whitehouse.org/espanol.asp is being included in very many e-mails
interchanged in Spain, using it to disparage the White House and the USA.
Best regards,
Jon Echegaray
SUBJECT = important feedback
NAME = joe sprout
MESSAGE = I consider myself a poster-child American in many regards. I am
working on my company's website as I am currently laid up with sports
injury. My company is in residential construction, by the way. I would
LOVE to offer feedback to eager ears regarding the "Patriot Registration"
found on this site. I have no doubt of the great intentions, but feel
somethings may need attention, either that or the intention should be made
more clear to viewers. As a man, (an American man), I am not too proud,
(or arrogant) to feel above improvement. Our country proved our need for
improvement on 9-11 and so I ask you (the recipient of this email) to take
responsibility to hear my imput. I am not the kind to do "something like
this" but I take this whole situation very seriously and wish to
contribute.
Thank you very much, Joe Sprout. [PHONE # EXCISED] (phone will be most

SUBJECT = You Should Be Ashamed
NAME = L Bowen
MESSAGE = You really should be ashamed of yourselves…. Granted the
Constitution allows for free speech but to intentionally DUPE your fellow
Americans into thinking this is ANY sort of "Official" site is just
totally degenerate. Especially at a time like this. Good grief….Grow
up!! Where is your sense of responsibility? You are no better than the
"clever" person who photocopies $20.00 bills and attempts to pass them off
to an unsuspecting merchant. Please feel free to move somewhere else…we
don’t need YOU.

MESSAGE = I think that it is irresponsible for you to have a gun pointed
at Daschel, you are just making politics worse, your degrading the image

message. I suggest you take it off and create a democratic zone,
legislation to watch out for.

MESSAGE = Dear Mrs. Bush,
Thank you so much for responding to my email. I respectfully reget that
no one can read my email, as I would so much like President Bush to know
I encourage him to veto the Shay/Meehan Bill as it will hurt christian
broadcasting.

SUBJECT = Outraged
NAME = Jim
MESSAGE = You, your organization?, others involved in this trash, have
just slapped the faces of those men and women who are defending this
Country and those that have died to preserve it. However they are serving
and dying to protect your right to degrade our Government. As a combat
veteran, I can choose to view this as humor, choose to ignore it but what
can't be undone is the fact that some of the youth of todays generation
will read this - time will only tell what their opinions and actions may
produce.

very sad to know that we have people as he to lead our country.
SUBJECT = Bienvenida española
NAME = Paco Navarro
MESSAGE = Dear Madam,
I am a U.S. Citizen born and raised in Spain, I am married to a
Spaniard, and have a beautiful child with him. I was shocked and appalled
when I read your letter in "Mexican". The language is called Spanish, just
as the one I am writing in is called English and not American or Australian.
I was at first amazed, then amused, and finally offended by this letter. I
thought whoever had translated it had never studied the language, so I read
the English version to find out exactly what that meaningless piece of
mumbo-jumbo actually meant: sincerely madam, I was more offended by the
second version. What do you mean by cheap? The colours I remember in Mexico
were vibrant. What do you mean by there´s only five ingredients? What do you
mean by "we kept our doors unlocked even though there were Mexicans living
down the street?
Madam, perhaps your assesors think of your letter as quaint and
down-to-earth, I find it tasteless, and completely lacking in manners or
diplomacy. You must be crazy to think any self-respecting Mexican-American
citizen or resident, or for that matter any self-respecting Latino would
give his or her vote to someone so racist as to refer to his family as
"little brown babies". You damage your husband´s image with such thoughtless
comments, but most of all you damage the image of the U.S. at home and
abroad. Perhaps if you have nothing nice to say you should say nothing at
all or just talk about the weather. You shoulds hire new assesors, and
definetely hire a new translator. Truly yours,

"Your opinion, if not utterly worthless, is marginally important to us"

"gonorrhea-infested tax & spend sex maniacs"
An eloquent first lady with a mouth of a trash bin. It seems you're candor is a blunt attempt to simply "wish"
away people's opinion. Simply, I wouldn't have cared if you lived on some block in some random street, with an
alcoholic binging relative, and oil rich father who bails out his son at every rough turn. But unfortunately I
have to deal with this on National and Global level. So being a democrat and one who actually saw a president
before this one who put this country first, instead of failing energy companies, in all the vain that might
comes with this, I say....fuck you. You are family of walking white-trash, backward thinking retards.

SUBJECT = USA Patriot Registration
NAME = Sascha Hesseling
MESSAGE = Greetings, dear Bush-Administration (don't know how to address
you). At first I'll introduce myself, I am Lieutenant junior grade Sasche
Hesseling, Chief Medical Officer U.S.S. Hermes, a heavy cruiser of our
fleet.
I've carefully read your USA patriot registration and decided not to sign
it because the answers are not within my ideology. Please don't think of
me as a potential terrorist, I am a patriot, otherwise I would not serve
on the U.S.S. Hermes, but the questionaire you offer is some kind of
strange. It seems that odd to me that I ask myself: "Is this meant
seriously?" I'd appreciate your answer.
I come to this question because some questions do not leave much choice,
for example the one about FOX can only be answerd TRUE or not answered and
that is hardly the method of a professional questionaire...
So I would like a statement of you how this was meant.
Was this meant to amuse people? If yes, you got it, I started laughing
when I first read this, the site link was given to me by the Executive
Officer of the U.S.S. Valkyrie, a friend of mine. I have not ceased
laughing yet... Please tell me what this really means.
SUBJECT = Sapnish translation and info in your web page
NAME = Juan Miguel Prada
MESSAGE = I don´t know if you are professional or simply boughta pc
translator o did it with a dictionary but your translation o the adress
http://www.whitehouse.org/espanol.asp
Is wrong, senseless in Spanish and You dont Translate Last Names that is
stupid.
And another thing If you dont know anything about mexican cuisine don´t
put that there are only five ingredients and that we just mix them all
around, is the same as we mexicans just thought that your cuisine is
tomato sauce, cheese, bread or pasta crust, french fries and some kind of
meat.
You better make more research and do things right, cause your web page
lacks of correct info and obviously a translator that knows how to do
things for such a respected institution as the white house, it doesna´t
matter the final purpose of your page

NAME = Sarah A. Marshall
MESSAGE = I am greatly offended by the pop-up add as I went through this
site (www.whitehouse.org) that is advertising a teddy bear with a shirt on
displaying the message "HUG ME. I Fatally mauled a liberal!" I believe
this to be in the poorest taste of this official White House website to

immediately. I cannot believe that people are going to our nations web

NAME = Hugo Penteado
MESSAGE = I would like to ask if someone had already included in the
GEORGE W.BUSCH biography the fact that he likes to kill lions and he
signed a mailing list to pressure Botsuana government to allow hunting practices there?
Could someone tell me if there is a problem to make a compaign to inform
US peoplethat his president like to kill animals and to use some photos to
illustrate how the animals are killed? To inform that the president was
invited to join a conference in Las Vegas of the SAFARI INTERNATIONAL CLUB
and that this club in Brazil is responsible of killing endangered species?
Thank you very much, I hope God forgive you all to think that the only living animal on earth
with living rights is the human beings,

MESSAGE = I think you need to check out the link to Jesus on your prayer
page. Everytime you click on another page it gives an item you can

with Jesus". This doesn't seem like something President Bush would have
at his house.
Thank you.
SUBJECT = Proud to be an American
NAME = Lisa Wilbraham
MESSAGE = I just want to praise George Bush and his wonderful
administration for the magnificent job they are doing in these very
troublesome times. The administration has restored my pride in America
and in the Office of the White House. We think Laura and George Bush are
class acts and deserve so much credit for a tough job well done. My
initial reason for getting on to this website was for my five year old
(kindergartener) son, as he is studying Presidents at school. I initially
logged onto www.Whitehouse.com
(with Andrew sitting right beside me) and
lo and behold.....a porn site came on the screen. Was I mortified and he
laughed. I just wanted to make sure that you were aware of this awful
coincidence - is Bill Clinton at it again? Anyway, I am sure Laura Bush
would like this little tidbit, as the website is too close to yours. I
will let my son's teacher know tomorrow. God Bless George Bush and his
administration and God Bless America. My 3rd grade daughter sang at
Carnegie Hall with her schools' choir (Country Day School of the Sacred
Heart in Bryn Mawr, PA on 2/2/2, and their encore song was "America the
Beautiful". There was not a dry eye in the place. God Bless You.

SUBJECT = unborn children
NAME = Kelley Bishop
MESSAGE = Thank you Mr. President for using the term "unborn children" in
your latest speach. I appreciate your willingness to share your faith
with the country in its time of need. The christians are behind this
choice 100%. Thank you again for opening the eyes of many that may not
see a child until it hits the cold and bright lights in the hospital.
Thanks for using the words that you believe in and for not being

NAME = Angela Blandino
MESSAGE =I for one am not nor have I ever been a Bush fan, this
ridiculous tattoo that is being set into a law is the most stupidest thing
I have ever heard of and if any of you freaken mornons in Washington or
Politics think you can brand me or my kids you can think again! Also how
dare whoever told that other Christian to change their religion because it
would be against their religion to get a sign of the beast, yes that is
what it is. I know it and you fools in the government know it. But you can
all bend over and kiss your own hineys good bye but not you or any other
idiot politician is going to tell me what to do. I am an american and we
fellow americans put you idiots in office and we can surely take you out
and that includes George W Bush who only got to be president because his
brother is the govenor of the only state that screwed up their votes.
Please how stupid do you people really think us americans are? ????? Not
half as stupid as Bush or anyone else that thinks they can tattoo me or my
family all I can say is you better tell whoever you pray to to help you
because it is certainly not the same god I pray to. And Bush is not a
Christian like he proposes to be in those prewritten phoney speeches he
has others believing. I for one can't stand him, so I guess that means I
am against him. This has all been planned for along time and you will all
burn in hell for all the pain you cause others. No I am not a radical or
lunatic but I am mad as heck that you idiots think you can make others do
that crap and to think we pay you idiots with out hard earned money!
